Intermittent enteral nutrition shortens the time to achieve nutritional goals in critically ill patients.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic.

Nutritional support is associated with improved clinical outcomes in critically ill patients; however, loss of muscle mass during critical illness leads to weakness, delayed return to work, and increased healthcare consumption. Animal data have suggested that intermittent feeding decreases protein catabolism. This study was aimed at determining whether the mode of enteral nutrition administration might lead to differences in meeting nutritional goals, tolerance, and complications.

is one of the primary pathogens responsible for healthcare-associated infections. It is related to high rates of morbidity and mortality globally, mainly because of its high capacity to develop resistance to antimicrobials. Nowadays, carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) has increased and represents a significant concern among carbapenem-resistant organisms.

Background: The Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen) is an international collaborative effort between scientists and clinicians, diagnostic and research laboratories as well as the patient community. Using a standardized framework, ClinGen has established guidelines to classify gene-disease relationships as Definitive, Strong, Moderate, and Limited based on available scientific and clinical evidence. When the genetic and functional evidence for a gene-disease relationship has conflicting interpretations or contradictory evidence, they can be Disputed or Refuted.
