Possible biotin deficiency in adults receiving long-term total parenteral nutrition.
Two adult patients receiving total parenteral nutrition on a long-term home basis presented with severe loss of hair. Both patients had extensive gut resection, consumed no biotin orally and received no biotin parenterally. Supplementation with Berroca-C, one ampule containing 200 micrograms biotin per day resulted in gradual regrowth of healthy hair. The patients now receive a parenteral solut...
متن کاملIntestinal failure and long-term parenteral nutrition in children.
Infants and children with intestinal failure such as that seen in short bowel syndrome will require parenteral feeding, some of them in the long-term. Complications of long-term feeding include those associated with central venous catheter use and liver failure associated with parenteral nutrition. Careful monitoring and supportive care from experts in the paediatric nutrition support team are ...
متن کاملOxidative Stress in Children on Long-Term Parenteral Nutrition
Background: The immaturity of glutathione metabolism is believed to explain the oxidative stress observed in premature neonates on total parenteral nutrition [TPN]. Animal studies report that peroxides contaminating TPN induce the low glutathione levels as a consequence of the inhibition of the generation of substrates for its synthesis. We hypothesize that older children receiving long-term TP...
متن کاملWarfarin therapy in children who require long-term total parenteral nutrition.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether warfarin can be safely administered to children who require long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN), for the purpose of preventing central venous access device (CVAD)-related thrombosis. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted of 8 children with short-gut syndrome or small intestinal anomalies. All patients received oral anticoagulant therapy (warfar...
متن کاملAdipose-tissue fatty acid composition in recipients of long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
Adipose-tissue fatty acid composition was studied in nine patients requiring long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The patients received 17 +/- 8% of total energy as soybean-oil emulsion (Intralipid) and 66 +/- 8% as glucose. Despite low intake of 9c-16:1, 11c-18:1, and 13c-18:1, adipose-tissue concentrations of these monounsaturated fatty acids were higher in the TPN patients than in fre...
