A single urban center experience with adult pedestrians struck by motor vehicles.

Background: Pedestrian-vehicle crashes are a significant problem in public health. Understanding contributing factors within a specific community helps recognize and target key intervention points.

A pilot study to explore the safety of perioperative postpyloric enteral nutrition.

Background: The practice of holding enteral nutrition (EN) 8 hours prior to surgery is common. We hypothesized that it was safe to continue postpyloric EN, and we developed an institutional practice pattern to investigate our hypothesis.

Methods: Our pilot study included intubated patients in the surgical intensive care unit at Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital who received EN via a nasojejunal (NJ) feeding tube and underwent 1 or more surgical procedures.

Continuous 5-fluorouracil infusion in advanced gastric carcinoma.

Fourteen patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma were treated with continuous 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) infusion, 300 mg/m2/day, through an indwelling central venous catheter; 13 were evaluable for response. The results were as follows; Partial remission was seen in 4 of 13 patients (31%), stable disease in 5 of 13 patients (38%), and progressive disease in 4 of 13 patients (31%). The median duration of response was 19 weeks (range, 10-41), and the median survival for all patients from initiation of infusion was 27 weeks (range, 9-54).
