The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of early enteral nutrition (EEN) on T helper lymphocytes and the subpopulations ratios of surgical septic patients.We performed a retrospective study including 107 eligible patients from February 2014 to December 2015. Patients were divided into EEN, delayed enteral nutrition (DEN), or total parenteral nutrition (TPN) group according to the duration before enteral feeding. Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg lymphocyte percentages were collected on days 3, 7, and 14 after admission. The disease severity and clinical outcome variables were also recorded.The Th1, Th17 percentages, and Th1/Th2, Th17/Treg ratios of EEN group were significantly lower than those of DEN or TPN group on the 14th day after admission (P < .05). Compared with TPN, DEN might have a tendency to decrease the Th1 and Th17 percentages. EEN could improve the disease severity and clinical outcomes of septic patients, however, no difference on 28-day mortality was found between EEN and DEN group.EEN could improve the dysregulation of Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg ratios during early stage of sepsis. Compared with DEN, EEN could improve the disease severity and clinical outcomes, but not decrease the 28-day mortality of surgical septic patients.

Purpose Of Review: Nutition has long been of importance in the care of Huntington's disease (HD). The purpose of this review is to summarize recent research relevant to HD nutrition, and to describe some emerging theoretical approaches to research in this area.
Recent Findings: Clinical studies have identified swallowing problems and fear of choking as major impediments to maintaining nutritional status with HD.

Background: Enteral nutrition is beneficial for improving the clinical outcomes of intensive care unit patients. However, enteral nutrition intolerance is a common complication in intensive care unit patients undergoing enteral nutrition.
Aims: We aimed to assess the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions in preventing enteral nutrition intolerance in intensive care unit patients and to identify the optimal non-pharmacological interventions.
Carbohydrate and wound healing in critically ill burn patients: A retrospective cohort study.

US Army Institute of Surgical Research, JBSA Ft Sam Houston, TX, US.
Two randomized controlled trials conducted in acutely burned patients found clinical benefits with higher carbohydrate (60-65% of total energy), lower fat (12-15%) nutrition, to include faster wound healing, fewer wound infections, decreased hospital stay, and less pneumonia. The primary purpose of this study was to assess whether our change in practice to a higher proportion of carbohydrates (60%) with 25% of energy from protein, and 15% of energy from fat was associated with improved wound healing rates. Secondary outcomes evaluated included invasive fungal wound infections, ischemic bowel, sepsis, and mortality.

Purpose Of Review: The objective of this review is to examine the available evidence concerning feeding interruptions before extubation and other medical procedures in ICUs. We will analyze the physiological mechanisms involved, the potential risks associated with feeding interruptions, as well as the results of recent clinical studies. Additionally, we will explore current practices and recommendations from major professional societies, as well as recent innovations aimed at minimizing feeding interruptions.

Background: Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is an established dietary therapy for Crohn's disease but its role in ulcerative colitis remains unclear.
Aims: To investigate the efficacy of EEN in adults with active ulcerative colitis and compare variations in treatment protocols, safety, tolerability and adherence.
Methods: We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Emcare, CINAHL, Web of Science and trial registries for articles published from inception until July 21, 2024.
