The main goal of Crohn’s disease (CD) treatment at present is to induce and maintain remission for as long as possible, and several approaches have been used as induction and maintenance therapies. There are no reports that have compared the effects on midand long-term prognosis among the induction and maintenance therapies, especially between infliximab, a chimeric antibody to tumor necrosis f...

INTRODUCTION Patients who have sustained traumatic brain injury (TBI) have increased nutritional requirements yet are often unable to eat normally, and adequate nutritional therapy is needed to optimise recovery. The aim of the current scoping review was to describe the existing evidence for improved outcomes with optimal nutrition therapy in adult patients with moderate to severe TBI, and to i...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Current practices and available resources for nutrition therapy in paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) in the Asia Pacific-Middle East region are expected to differ from western countries. Existing guidelines for nutrition management in critically ill children may not be directly applicable in this region. This paper outlines consensus statements developed by the A...

Malnutrition is an unfavorable background for the course and outcome of viral diseases, including COVID-19. In accordance with international recommendations, timely correction nutritional status using oral, tube enteral parenteral nutrition a necessary mandatory method concomitant therapy An analytical review results studies on clinical use pharmacological nutrients (glutamine; vitamins A, C, D...

OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of early introduction of enteral nutrition therapy in reducing morbidity and mortality in pediatric intensive care unit. METHODS Search in the literature of the last 10 years, in English and the target population of individuals aged 1 month to 18 years admitted to pediatric intensive care units in the databases PubMed, Lilacs and Embase using the keywords: Criti...

Nutritional therapy cannot only improve nutritional status but also reduce bowel inflammation in Crohn disease (CD). The benefits of preoperative nutritional therapy on outcomes of surgery for CD have been demonstrated. However, the ideal end-points of preoperative nutrition in CD remain elusive. We conducted this study to figure out whether improvement of malnutrition or reduction of inflammat...

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and prediabetes have a major global impact through high disease prevalence, significant downstream pathophysiologic effects, and enormous financial liabilities. To mitigate this disease burden, interventions of proven effectiveness must be used. Evidence shows that nutrition therapy improves glycemic control and reduces the risks of diabetes and its complications. Accordin...

Recent advances in nutrition therapy of the patient undergoing elective surgery have focused on greater utilization of the gut, feeding closer to the time of surgery, avoiding extensive bowel preparations or use of nasogastric tubes and drains, and measures to promote and maintain intestinal motility. Failure to have protocols in place for delivery of enteral nutrition (EN) through the perioper...

Nutrition has been an important part of medical management in patients with chronic kidney disease for more than a century. Since the 1970s, due to technological advances in renal replacement therapy (RRT) such as dialysis and transplantation, the importance of nutrition intervention in non-dialysis stages has diminished. In addition, it appears that there is a lack of high-level evidence to su...

19 INTRODUCTION P ancreatitis is caused by activation of pancreatic digestive enzymes within the pancreas leading to pain and inflammation (1). The inflammatory response to pancreatitis is similar to that of sepsis and can precipitate systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). SIRS can lead to multiple system organ failure, sepsis, hypermetabolism, hypercatabolism, and increased mortality ...
