Background: The time of enteral nutrition (EN) administration on patients with sepsis is controversial. The study was to explore the effect of early enteral nutrition (EEN) on the prognosis of patients with sepsis.
Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of the acute gastrointestinal injury grade study. The patients were divided into two groups from the time of EN administration: EEN group (n=85): EN within 24 hours; Control group (N=78): EN after 24 hours. The key observation was the length of ICU stay, and length of hospital stay, and 28- and 60-day mortality.
Results: Of 676 patients, 163 were included. There are no significant between-group differences in the characteristics at baseline. The overall mortality rate at 28 days in the EEN group was 28.2% vs. 43.6% in the control group (P=0.041). The mortality rate at 60 days in the EEN group was 36.5% vs. 52.6% in the control group (P=0.039). In a subgroup analysis of patients who whether used vasoactive drugs: the EEN group was found to be significantly associated with 60-day mortality (P=0.039). The ICU stay length in the EEN group was longer than in the control group {11 [8-22] vs. 10 [6-16]; P=0.022}. Also, the length of the hospital stay was longer than in the Control group {23 [14-53] vs. 18 [10-39]; P=0.023}. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that EEN, using vasoactive drugs, Acute kidney injury (AKI), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score, and the global acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) grade were significantly (P<0.05) associated with 60-day mortality. In a multivariate analysis including these variables, EEN (HR1.68, 95% CI: 1.02-2.62; P=0.040, global AGI grade (HR2.28, 95% CI: 1.30-4.00; P=0.004), and APACHE II score (HR 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.07; P=0.021) were independently associated with 60-day mortality.
Conclusions: EEN within 24 hours can improve the survival of patients with sepsis, and that is an independent prognostic factor.

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.
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.

January 2025
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.
Background: A substantial proportion of patients within regular Mental Health Services have a mild intellectual disability (MID) or borderline intellectual functioning (BIF). Previous research has shown that psychiatrists are ambivalent about their own knowledge and skills in providing care to these patients.
Aim: To gain insight into factors that play a role in how psychiatrists experience the provision of care to patients with MID/BIF and comorbid psychiatric disorders.
