Central parenteral nutrition can cause serious complications, particularly in association with the feeding catheter, previously in relation to nutrient provision, and occasionally in other organ systems, notably disease of the liver and abnormalities of bone composition. Developments in catheter design, the introduction of catheter care protocols based on an understanding of the common routes of catheter infection, and the identification of factors associated with central vein thrombosis have all reduced dramatically the incidence of complications. Furthermore, problems such as catheter occlusion, catheter infection and central vein thrombosis can now be treated effectively in many patients without the loss of the feeding catheter. This review summarizes the common and important complications of parenteral feeding with emphasis on their practical prevention and management.

Urinary Acetaminophen Metabolites and Clinical Outcomes in Extremely Premature Infants.
Am J Perinatol
January 2025
Pediatrics, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, United States.
Objective: Extremely premature infants are treated with acetaminophen (APAP) for pain and patent ductus arteriosus. High doses of APAP in adults are toxic, and a recent study found an association between APAP metabolite levels in mothers' breast milk and both bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in their premature infants. In this study, we determined levels of APAP metabolites in urine of infants at high risk for BPD and ROP.

Digestive Diseases, Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz, España.
The duodenal diverticulum is a relatively frequent entity whose diagnosis has been increased over time with the development of new diagnostic and exploratory techniques. Periampullary diverticula (PAD) were classified as type 1, 2, or 3 according to the position of the major papilla from the endoscopic view: type 1, the major papilla was located inside of the diverticula; type 2, the major papilla was located at the edge of the diverticula; type 3, the major papilla was located outside of the diverticula. Complications of duodenal diverticula include ulceration, bleeding, perforation and inflammation with intestinal obstruction.

Mediastinum
July 2024
Department of Radiology, Inje University Sanggye Paik Hospital, Seoul, Korea.
Background: Emphysematous esophagitis is a very rare disease and there are only a few previous reports in the literature. Previously reported cases have resulted in emphysematous esophagitis following anterior cervical procedures or ingestion of hydrogen peroxide (HP). In this report, we describe a case in which a patient with emphysematous esophagitis accompanied by gastritis without the above predisposing factors was treated with conservative treatment.

Indian J Pediatr
January 2025
Department of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310018, China.
Objectives: To assess the effects of ω-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA)-enriched lipid emulsions (SMOFlipid) vs. traditional soybean oil-based lipid emulsions (Intralipid) on the occurrence and severity of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in infants with very low birth weight (VLBW).
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 301 VLBW infants who received either SMOFlipid or Intralipid for a minimum of 14 d were included.
Biodiversity of the Bacterial and Fungal Microbiome and Associated Inflammatory Cytokine Profile in Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

January 2025
Department of Head and Neck Surgery, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Background: Dysbiosis of the bacterial and fungal microbiome has been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). This study explores the relationship between microbiome and mycobiome biodiversity and type 2 (T2) versus non-type 2 (NT2) inflammation.
Methods: Mucosal tissues from the ethmoid sinus were collected during endoscopic sinus (CRS) and skull base (controls) surgery between January 2020 and July 2021.
