AI Article Synopsis
- Parenteral nutrition (PN) is crucial for many hospitalized patients, but it carries risks of complications and adverse reactions, including hypersensitivity.
- A case study is presented involving an oncology patient who experienced a hypersensitivity reaction after several days of receiving PN, raising concerns about intravenous mixture administration.
- The goal is to analyze the challenges of providing nutrition before surgery and identify the potential causes of the hypersensitivity reaction.
Article Abstract
Parenteral nutrition (PN) is essential in the treatment of many hospitalized patients. However, administration of PN is not without potential complications and patients are exposed to related possible adverse reactions such as hypersensitivity. For that reason and because of the complexity of this treatment, PNs are considered by the ISMP (Institute for Safe Medication Practice) a high risk medication. Following is introduced the case of an oncologic patient with severe malnutrition, who after receiving PN for several days, developed a hypersensitivity reaction that could have being associated with intravenous mixture administration. Our aim is to analize the difficulties related with pre-surgery nutrition and to clarify the main possible causes of the reaction.

Thiamine Deficiency Is Common and Underrecognized in Emergency Department Oncology Patients.
J Clin Med

Department of Emergency Medicine, Henry Ford Health, Detroit, MI 48202, USA.
: Wernicke's encephalopathy can occur in oncology patients independent of alcohol use, likely resulting from poor dietary thiamine intake. High metabolic demands, such as those in acute illnesses seen in the emergency department (ED), can exacerbate thiamine deficiency. In this study, our objective was to assess the incidence of thiamine deficiency in ED oncology patients, which could lead to Wernicke's encephalopathy or other thiamine deficiency disorders if left untreated.

Background: Nutritional support is crucial in critically ill patients to enhance recovery, reduce infections, and improve outcomes. This meta-analysis compared early enteral nutrition (EEN) and early parenteral nutrition (EPN) to evaluate their efficacy in adult critically ill patients.
Methods: A systematic review of 14 studies involving 7618 patients was conducted, including randomized controlled trials, prospective cohorts, and retrospective analyses.
The Gut in Critical Illness.
Curr Gastroenterol Rep
December 2025
Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine, Medical College of Wisconsin, 8701 West Watertown Plank Road, 8th Floor: HUB for Collaborative Medicine, Milwaukee, WI, 53226, USA.
Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this narrative review is to describe the mechanisms for gut dysfunction during critical illness, outline hypotheses of gut-derived inflammation, and identify nutrition and non-nutritional therapies that have direct and indirect effects on preserving both epithelial barrier function and gut microbiota during critical illness.
Recent Findings: Clinical and animal model studies have demonstrated that critical illness pathophysiology and interventions breach epithelial barrier function and convert a normally commensal gut microbiome into a pathobiome. As a result, the gut has been postulated to be the "motor" of critical illness and numerous hypotheses have been put forward to explain how it contributes to systemic inflammation and drives multiple organ failure.
Urinary Acetaminophen Metabolites and Clinical Outcomes in Extremely Premature Infants.

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.
