The results are presented of the mathematical program "Artificial Feeding" that has been developed for the evaluation of the nutrition status and effectiveness of parenteral and enteral tube nutrition. On the basis of the combination of anthropometric, biochemical and immunological parameters the program makes possible a dynamic follow-up of the patient's nutrition status, calculation of nitrogen, electrolyte and water balances, and determination of the requirements in energy and protein preparations for artificial feeding.

Health policy to address disease-related malnutrition: a scoping review.
BMJ Nutr Prev Health
December 2024
Department of Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Background: Health policies promote optimal care, yet policies that address disease-related malnutrition (DRM) are lacking. The purpose of this study was to conduct a scoping review to identify literature on existing and planned policy to address DRM in children or adults and explore the settings, contexts and actors of DRM policy.
Methods: A search strategy comprising DRM and policy keywords was applied to eight databases on 24 February 2023.
Enteral Nutrition Practices and Complications in ICU Settings: A Cross-Sectional Study of Healthcare Professionals' Perspectives in Saudi Arabia.

Clinical Nutrition Department, College of Applied Medical Sciences, Taibah University, Madinah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Background: Enteral Nutrition (EN) is the preferred method for providing nutritional support in intensive care units (ICUs) compared to parenteral nutrition (PN) due to its physiological advantages, safety profile, and cost-effectiveness compared to parenteral nutrition (PN). However, evidence suggests that EN might be associated with some complications. In this study, we aimed to identify the most common EN complications, as reported by healthcare professionals (HCPs) working in adult and paediatric ICUs (PICUs) in Saudi Arabia.

Department of Nutrition, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte-Justine Research Center, Université de Montréal, Montréal, Québec, Canada.
Background: When exposed to ambient light, parenteral nutrition (PN) contamination with peroxides almost doubles, which increases oxidative stress in preterm infants, contributing to the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) recommends complete PN photoprotection to reduce peroxide contamination and optimize its integrity but acknowledges the challenges of its implementation. In this study, a novel photoprotection procedure was tested for its effectiveness in reducing peroxide load and limiting ascorbic acid degradation, and for its feasibility and effectiveness in reducing urinary peroxide levels in preterm infants.

Background: Antimicrobial lock therapy is recommended for preventing and treating catheter-related bloodstream infections, but different solutions have uncertain efficacy.
Methods: Two locks, 1.35% taurolidine and 4% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), were tested on Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S.
Clinical value of quantitative echocardiographic features in preterm infants with necrotizing enterocolitis.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Neonatology, Children's Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, China.
This study investigated the correlation between quantitative echocardiographic characteristics within 3 days of birth and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and its severity in preterm infants. A retrospective study was conducted on 168 preterm infants with a gestational age of < 34 weeks. Patients were categorized into NEC and non-NEC groups.
