The present study applied fast-track surgery (FTS) concepts and exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) to a rat model of heterotopic intestinal transplantation (HIT). A total of 96 pairs of Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly distributed into three groups, as follows: i) The conventional group (group 1); ii) the FTS group (group 2); and iii) the FTS with EEN group (EEN group). FTS alterations to the HIT protocol were as follows: i) The use of sevoflurane as an anesthetic; ii) alterations to the order of the procedure and iii) a modified suturing technique. In addition, the EEN group rats underwent an early EEN gavage. The operation time, success rate, recovery state and morphological characteristics of the grafts were compared among the groups. The average operative time was significantly decreased in the group 2 and EEN group rats (137.44±16.03 and 139.67±15.25 min, respectively), as compared with the group 1 rats (169.36±13.72 min; P<0.05). In addition, the percentage of rats surviving >14 days was significantly increased in the group 2 (87.5%) and EEN group (90.6%) rats, as compared with the group 1 rats (68.7%; P<0.05). Furthermore, the villi of graft in EEN group appeared longer, and exhibited narrower interspaces. The ischemia-reperfusion injury and mononuclear cell infiltration were attenuated at postoperative day 7. The results of the present study suggested that the application of FTS concepts and EEN gavage to HIT may accelerate recovery and ameliorate graft damage following surgery.

[Pharmacotherapeutic treatment in an adolescent with bipolar disorders].
Tijdschr Psychiatr
January 2025
Bipolar disorder (BD) frequently occurs in children and adolescents, but pharmacological treatment in this group presents significant challenges. Clinicians often struggle to find appropriate treatment guidelines due to the primary focus of current guidelines on adults, leaving specific recommendations for the acute and maintenance treatment of BD in children and adolescents either insufficient or entirely absent. This gap is partly due to the lack of targeted studies in this age group, leading practitioners to rely on clinical experience and studies conducted in adults.

Early Enteral Nutrition May Improve Survival in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock.

Emergency Department, Kaifeng Central Hospital, Kaifeng, China.
International guidelines recommend early enteral nutrition (EEN) for critically ill patients. However, evidence supporting the optimal timing of EN in patients diagnosed with cardiogenic shock (CS) is lacking. As such, this study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and safety of EEN versus delayed EN in patients diagnosed with CS.

Some older patients with suspected malignancy are not automatically eligible for a standard care process due to frailty or limited treatment wishes. For this group we recommend a personalized approach in which frailty is identified and the patient's wishes are central. To achieve appropriate care, cooperation and timely consultation between primary care or elderly care with a geriatric and/or oncological specialist from secondary care is important.

Background: As a result of a common misunderstanding of the concepts of generalization, discrimination and prejudice, their methodological significance for a scientific psychiatry gets out of sight.
Aim: An attempt to rehabilitate these concepts METHOD: An explorative consideration based on actual trends in society and mental health care RESULTS: Examples are given of the one-sided framing of these concepts in society and psychiatric practice as well as of their positive contribution to a better understanding of psychiatric problems, to better diagnostics and, as a result, psychiatry as a scientific discipline.
Conclusion: It remains necessary to take a critical look at one’s own bias in the form of generalization, discrimination and prejudices.
