The nutritional status of elderly bed-ridden patients receiving tube feeding.
Long-term enteral feeding by tube has become a frequently used procedure in elderly patients. However, only a few studies dealing with the nutritional assessment of such patients are currently available. This study was designed to clarify this issue. Anthropometric and biochemical variables, energy expenditure and dietary intake were investigated in 44 hospitalized bed-ridden patients with and ...
متن کاملEffect of In Ovo Feeding Egg White Protein, β-Hydroxy-β-Methylbutyrate, and Carbohydrates on Glycogen Status and Neonatal Growth of Turkeys
In ovo feeding (IOF), injecting dietary components into the amnion about 1 d prior to internal pipping, may enhance growth by altering glycogen status. This hypothesis was evaluated with 5 IOF solutions containing protein, β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB), and carbohydrate. Four IOF treatments were arranged as a factorial of 2 levels of egg white protein (EWP; 0 and 18%) and 2 levels of HMB (0 ...
متن کاملClinicopathological analysis of hematological disorders in tube-fed patients with copper deficiency.
OBJECT Anemia and leukopenia caused by copper deficiency are well-documented consequences of long-term total parenteral nutrition. We measured the serum copper levels of bed-ridden patients receiving enteral feeding, and evaluated optical and ultrastructural features of bone marrow before and after copper supplementation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Serum samples were obtained from 15 bed-ridden eld...
متن کاملEffects of combined maternal administration with alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) and β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) on prenatal programming of skeletal properties in the offspring
BACKGROUND Nutritional manipulations during fetal growth may induce long-term metabolic effects in postnatal life. The aim of the study was to test whether combined treatment of pregnant sows with alpha-ketoglutarate and β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate induces additive long-term effects on skeletal system properties in the offspring. METHODS The study was performed on 290 pigs obtained from 24 sow...
متن کاملErgogenic dietary aids for the elderly.
Ergogenic dietary aids might be useful adjunctive therapy to enhance the effects of exercise in the elderly, who lose physical function with age. Many such aids have been tested in athletes and untrained younger persons in laboratory and athletic performance settings, with positive results, although not all studies have demonstrated benefit. Some substances have been tested in the elderly, incl...
