Background: The emerging field of chrononutrition investigates the effects of the timing of nutritional intake on human physiology and disease pathology. It remains largely unknown when patients receiving home nutrition support routinely administer home parenteral nutrition (HPN) and/or home enteral nutrition (HEN).
Methods: The present descriptive study included data collected from a patient-oriented survey designed to assess the timing of infusions and sleep habits of patients receiving HPN and HEN in the United States.
Results: A total of 100 patients were included. Patients had a mean age of 44.1 years and 81% were female. Among 73 patients supported with HPN and 27 patients supported with HEN, 86% and 44% reported overnight infusions, respectively. The median start and end times of overnight infusions were 2100 (interquartile range [IQR] = 1900-2200) and 0800 (IQR = 0700-1000), respectively, for HPN and 2000 (IQR = 1845-2137) and 0845 (IQR = 0723-1000), respectively, for HEN. Overnight infusions started 2.0 h (IQR = 1.1-3.0) and 2.0 h (IQR = 0.6-3.3) before bedtime for HPN and HEN, respectively, and stopped 12.9 min (IQR = -21.3 to 29.1) and 30.0 min (IQR = -17.1 to 79.3) after wake time for HPN and HEN, respectively. Sleep disruption because of nutrition support or urination was most common among patients receiving infusions overnight compared with those receiving infusions continuously or during the daytime.
Conclusions: Our survey study focusing on a novel and medically relevant dimension of nutrition found that most HPN-dependent and HEN-dependent patients receive infusions overnight while asleep. Our findings suggest that overnight infusions coinciding with sleep may result in sleep and circadian disruption.

Successful analgesic treatment with continuous sacral epidural ethanol injection therapy for anal pain caused by multiple metastases of malignant pheochromocytoma.
JA Clin Rep

Division of Operation Room, Nagoya University Hospital, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan.
Background: Anal and perineum pain caused by malignant tumor invasion is often difficult to control with opioids. Continuous sacral epidural ethanol injection therapy is less likely to cause bladder and rectal disturbances, making it a suitable treatment option for patients with preserved voiding function.
Case Presentation: A 45-year-old woman with multiple metastases of malignant pheochromocytoma suffered severe anal pain that worsened, especially when sitting, and was unresponsive to opioid rescue therapy.
Continuous glucose monitoring in adults with short bowel syndrome receiving overnight infusions of home parenteral nutrition.

Background/objectives: Consumers of home parenteral nutrition (HPN) are susceptible to dysglycemia. The aim was to characterize 24-h glucose profiles of HPN consumers using continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and to identify factors that influence glucose.
Subjects/methods: Glucose profiles of 20 adults with short bowel syndrome (SBS) without diabetes were assessed using the Freestyle Libre Pro CGM.

Glycerol kinase deficiency (GKD) is an X-linked recessive disorder due to () gene mutations resulting in hyperglycerolermia, hyperglyceroluria, and "pseudohypertriglyceridemia." In vivo glycerol metabolism has not been assessed in GKD. A 62-year-old man with suspected GKD and his extended family underwent whole exome sequencing and fasting blood work with two modes of lipid measurements: (1) standard lipase-based methodology and (2) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has led to a paradigm shift in the management of pregnant women with type 1 diabetes (T1D), with improved glycaemic control, less hypoglycaemia and fewer pregnancy complications. Data on CGM use in pregnant women with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are limited. A large randomized controlled trial (RCT) on CGM use in people with T2D in pregnancy is ongoing.
