Objective: Parenteral nutrition is an important risk factor for candidemia. In this risk analysis study, the effect of previous antibiotic administration apart from the length of hospital stay, duration of Parenteral nutrition treatment, and Candida score parameters on developing candidemia was evaluated in the non-neutropenic patients receiving Parenteral nutrition treatment.
Methods: In this double center, retrospective, and cross-sectional study, the data of patients who received Parenteral nutrition treatment were collected. Patients with or without candidemia after the initiation of Parenteral nutrition treatment were compared in terms of demographic features, Candida score, length of hospital stay, duration of Parenteral nutrition treatment, and previous use of antibiotics. Then, predictor factors affecting the probability of candidemia during Candida growth time were determined by the Cox regression analysis.
Results: A total of 148 patients (59.5% males) were included and 16 (10.81%) of these had candidemia after initiation of parenteral nutrition treatment. The median (min-max) duration of parenteral nutrition treatment was 11 (4-72) days and the Candida growth time was 13 (7-29) days. Statistically significant differences were found between patients with or without candidemia groups in terms of length of hospital stay (p<0.001), duration of parenteral nutrition treatment (p<0.001), and Candida score (p<0.001). To determine the effect of these variables and antibiotics on candidemia, length of hospital stay [Hazard Ratio 1.030; p=0.021] and piperacillin-tazobactam (Hazard Ratio 5.626; p=0.030) were found significant and independent risk factors on the development of candidemia.
Conclusion: There are some well-known risk factors including length of hospital stay, duration of Parenteral nutrition treatment, and Candida score; the potential impact of piperacillin-tazobactam administration should also be considered since they may be effective on the development of candidemia.

Conservative management of emphysematous esophagitis-a case report.
Mediastinum
July 2024
Department of Radiology, Inje University Sanggye Paik Hospital, Seoul, Korea.
Background: Emphysematous esophagitis is a very rare disease and there are only a few previous reports in the literature. Previously reported cases have resulted in emphysematous esophagitis following anterior cervical procedures or ingestion of hydrogen peroxide (HP). In this report, we describe a case in which a patient with emphysematous esophagitis accompanied by gastritis without the above predisposing factors was treated with conservative treatment.

Department of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310018, China.
Objectives: To assess the effects of ω-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA)-enriched lipid emulsions (SMOFlipid) vs. traditional soybean oil-based lipid emulsions (Intralipid) on the occurrence and severity of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in infants with very low birth weight (VLBW).
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 301 VLBW infants who received either SMOFlipid or Intralipid for a minimum of 14 d were included.

Department of Head and Neck Surgery, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Background: Dysbiosis of the bacterial and fungal microbiome has been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). This study explores the relationship between microbiome and mycobiome biodiversity and type 2 (T2) versus non-type 2 (NT2) inflammation.
Methods: Mucosal tissues from the ethmoid sinus were collected during endoscopic sinus (CRS) and skull base (controls) surgery between January 2020 and July 2021.
Effects of enteral insulin on enteral diet tolerance in premature infants: systematic review.

Fundação Lusíada, Faculdade de Ciências Médicas de Santos, Santos, SP, Brazil.
Objective: The primary objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of enteral insulin supplementation provided to premature newborns on the time to achieve full enteral feeding. Secondary objectives included evaluating the effects on weight gain, the occurrence of adverse events, and mortality.
Data Source: A systematic review of randomized clinical trials was conducted using the databases PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), clinicaltrials.
Critical Care Therapy After Cytoreductive Nephrectomy for Metastatic Kidney Cancer.
Crit Care Med
January 2025
Cancer Prognostics and Health Outcomes Unit, Division of Urology, University of Montréal Health Center, Montréal, QC, Canada.
Objectives: To examine critical care therapy rates after cytoreductive nephrectomy in metastatic kidney cancer patients.
Design, Setting, And Patients: Relying on the National Inpatient Sample (2000-2019), we addressed critical care therapy use (total parenteral nutrition, invasive mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube insertion, and tracheostomy) and in-hospital mortality in surgically treated metastatic kidney cancer patients. Estimated annual percentage changes and multivariable logistic regression models were fitted.
