Nelson, R. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 16. Minimizing systemic infection during complete parenteral alimentation ofsmall infants. A regimen of parenteral alimentation for infants was designed to eliminate as many factors responsible for infection as possible. The most important features of the feeding regimen were as follows. (1) Infants were fed via indwelling silastic cathet...

 Malnutrition is a significant factor in the development of pressure ulcers and many nutritional guidelines for preventing pressure ulcers have been published. However, few clinical investigations have examined the energy required to heal pressure ulcers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between nutritional intake and improvement of pressure ulcers. Total calor...

Several lines of evidence suggest that brain histamine may be involved in the central control of food intake. The effect of histamine on feeding is mediated through three kinds of receptors (H1, H2, and H3). The present study was designed to investigate the effect of intracerebroventricular injection of histamine, promethazine (H1 antagonist) and ranitidine (H2 antagonist) on food intake of fre...

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of fast-food-based hyper-alimentation on liver enzymes and hepatic triglyceride content (HTGC). DESIGN Prospective interventional study with parallel control group. SETTING University Hospital of Linköping, Sweden. PARTICIPANTS 12 healthy men and six healthy women with a mean (SD) age of 26 (6.6) years and a matched control group. INTERVENTION Subjects in t...

Compensatory growth (CG), an accelerated growth phenomenon which occurs following a period of dietary restriction is utilised worldwide in animal production systems as a management practise to lower feed costs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the contribution of jejunal epithelial to CG in cattle through transcriptional profiling following a period of dietary restriction as well as ...

tissue nutrient supply may be synchronized with endogenous physiological rhythms to optimize animal and human health. glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity have endogenous rhythms that are not essentially dependent on food type and eating. human glucose tolerance declines as day comes into night. based on such evolutionary findings, large evening meals must be avoided to reduce risks of vis...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of feeding of  steeped barley grain with lactic acid (la) and citric acid (ca) on dry matter intake, feeding behavior, apparent nutrients digestibility, rumen ph and milk production. eight early lactating holstein cows in the second parities were used in 4×4 latin square change- over design. treatments  consisted of basis diet containing 1) dr...

Hunger strike is a regularly reported problem in prison. Although clinical situations are rarely severe, hospitalisation is often considered. In consequence, it is not only physicians working in prisons, but also hospital medical teams who face challenges related to hunger strike, involving somatic, psychological, legal and human rights aspects. Furthermore, deontological rules must be strictly...
