Gastrostomy can have both a preventive and curative effect for patients particularly exposed to food inhaling, especially the heavy casualties with loss of initial consciousness and prolonged intubation or tracheotomy. In these patients stopping the forcible feeding led to frequent mishaps and to recurrent pulmonary complications. Gastrostomy prevents them while enabling the seriously injured patients to receive 2.500 calories daily. These cases showed the different circumstances where gastrostomy done rapidly under L. A. and with assisted ventilation gave good results.

In this study, we investigated the effect of severe dysphagia on the overall survival of patients who underwent PEG. A cohort of patients who underwent PEG between April 2016 and April 2021 was retrospectively analyzed. The Hyodo-Komagane score was used to evaluate swallowing via endoscopy.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to enhance early diagnosis of candidemia in ICU patients by identifying risk factors and developing a new scoring system, known as the Cerrahpaşa score.
- A retrospective analysis of 100 ICU patients revealed key risk factors such as sepsis and prolonged antibiotic use, while a prospective evaluation of 75 patients established a cutoff score of ≥4 points as indicative of increased candidemia risk.
- The research concluded that the Cerrahpaşa score, combined with a real-time PCR assay, could improve the early detection and management of candidemia in critically ill patients.

Background: Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tube insertion, a routine procedure for long-term enteral nutrition, serves as a crucial intervention for patients who are incapable of tolerating oral intake or meeting adequate nutritional requirements. PEG tube placement carries complications like bleeding and infection. Impact of PEG tubes on the 30-day and long-term mortality in HIV patients is unknown.

The Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (RBWH) Swallowing and Nutrition Management Guidelines for Patients with Head and Neck Cancer were developed to enable evidence-based decision-making by the Head and Neck Multidisciplinary Team (H&N MDT) regarding enteral nutrition support options. The purpose of this study was to revalidate these guidelines in a cohort of patients receiving helical intensity-modulated radiotherapy (H-IMRT) compared to a historical cohort who received primarily 3D-conformal radiotherapy. Eligible patients attending the RBWH H&N MDT between 2013 and 2014 (n = 315) were assessed by the guidelines, with high-risk patients being recommended proactive gastrostomy tube placement.

Our aim is to determine the rate of unexpected malrotation identified on routine preoperative upper gastrointestinal (UGI) contrast study in infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) prior to gastrostomy tube (GT) placement and quantify any associated delay in care. We performed a retrospective review of infants with CHD who underwent GT placement following initial cardiac surgery at a single center between 2016 and 2021. Patients were identified in the electronic medical record.
