Enteral insufficiency is considered to trigger the syndrome of endogenous intoxication and, further, multiple organ failure. Enteral insufficiency often accompanies postoperative septic complications, such as peritonitis. Morphologic changes of the intestinal wall by septic peritonitis consisted of edema, fibrinous degradation of muscular layer and dystrophy of local nervous pathways. Microbiologic analysis of intestinal and gastric contents, peritoneal fluid and blood samples demonstrated a broad spectrum of pathogenic flora. Besides, enterotoxin allocated from blood and intestinal contents coincided in all cases. Adequate algorithm of detoxication, including extracorporal methods, had been worked out.

Article Synopsis
  • Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is a significant issue in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially as the disease advances, leading to increased risks of hospitalization and mortality.
  • Research indicates that low levels of serum albumin, body mass index (BMI), and inadequate dietary intake of energy and protein are linked to the progression of CKD.
  • Effective management of PEW may involve a tailored nutrition plan, including a moderately low protein diet and appropriate supplementation, alongside addressing other health conditions and lifestyle factors.

Article Synopsis
  • * A 9-year-old girl relying on a G-J tube for nutrition developed macrocytic anemia from insufficient dietary copper, despite receiving enteral nutrition.
  • * Copper supplementation successfully corrected her hematological problems, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring and micronutrient support in patients on enteral nutrition.
