Article Synopsis
- LCIG is a treatment for advanced Parkinson's disease, often starting with a nasojejunal tube (NJT) test phase, but some centers have initiated treatment directly with a PEG-J tube.
- A study compared these two methods in 33 advanced PD patients, evaluating treatment discontinuations, adverse events, and hospital stay length.
- Results showed no significant differences in complications or discontinuations between the two methods, but direct initiation with PEG-J reduced hospital stays significantly.

Article Synopsis
- - A 72-year-old male with a history of advanced tongue cancer was found to have a large left adrenal mass during follow-up, which raised suspicion for metastasis.
- - After surgical removal, the mass was diagnosed as poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), despite no primary liver tumor being identified during further investigations.
- - The case highlights the importance of considering adrenal metastasis in cancer patients, as it can lead to the unexpected discovery of another underlying malignancy, such as HCC, especially in the context of liver cirrhosis.
Objectives: Children maintain growth and development by ingesting adequate calories and nutrients, typically achieved via oral intake of food and liquids. When unable to eat and drink orally, they need temporary or permanent enteral nutritional support via nasogastric, nasoduodenal, gastrostomy, or jejunostomy tubes. The objectives of this retrospective study are to describe lessons learned from operating a weaning program at ALYN Hospital for over a decade, the characteristics of the patient population (gender, age, medical condition, and type of tube feeding and hospitalization), and which of these characteristics correlate with successful weaning.
