Parenteral nutrition (PN) compounding is a complex process that requires knowledge and training to ensure the safety and efficacy of this form of nutrition support therapy. Unfortunately, errors and lack of adherence to safe PN compounding recommendations and sterile compounding requirements have resulted in patient injury and death. These lapses in the safe provision of PN have been the result of various factors, including a lack of understanding of PN compatibility, stability, and sterility requirements, as well as drug product shortages and order entry errors. This review will describe the current challenges with the education and training regarding PN compounding, compatibility and stability of PN admixtures, simultaneous administration of nonnutrient medications with PN admixtures, and specific challenges with special populations such as neonates, pediatrics, and those receiving home care.

Indian J Pediatr
January 2025
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.
Biodiversity of the Bacterial and Fungal Microbiome and Associated Inflammatory Cytokine Profile in Chronic Rhinosinusitis.
Int Forum Allergy Rhinol
January 2025
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.
Rev Paul Pediatr
January 2025
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.
Outcomes for Children With Congenital Heart Disease Undergoing Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: An ACTION Registry Analysis.
J Am Coll Cardiol
December 2024
Division of Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: There are no contemporary reports that highlight the national outcomes for children with congenital heart disease (CHD) undergoing ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation.
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate differences in VAD outcomes for children with CHD to those with non-CHD as well as those with univentricular CHD to those with biventricular CHD.
Methods: Data for CHD and non-CHD patients from the multicenter ACTION (Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network) undergoing VAD implantation from April 2018 to February 2023 were included.
