The practice of restricting oral intake during labour has been and remains controversial. Overall, the nutritional needs of labouring women are poorly understood. This literature review reveals that little evidence exists to support the general restriction of oral intake for all labouring women. Education of health professionals and pregnant women regarding intake in labour is required to encou...

A 55-year-old man with atrial fibrillation and cerebral infarction presented one-month history of abdominal pain, watery diarrhea, hematochezia. Abdominal computed tomography showed wall thickening a limited area the jejunum. Although his symptoms improved as result fasting fluid therapy, pain recurred after resumption oral intake. Single-balloon endoscopy revealed multiple round ulcers in jeju...

The aim of the study is to construct a mathematical model kinetics multiple ethanol intake based on kinetic equation zero-order elimination with absorption and irrevocable first-order deficiency, as well its implementation in format computer program. Analytical modeling oral administration performed basis this equation. In course modeling, summation method was developed that allows perform desc...

Dietary fat interacts with receptors in both the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to regulate fat and energy intake. This review discusses recent developments in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the effects of fat, through its digestive products, fatty acids (FAs), on GI function and energy intake, the role of oral and intestinal FA receptors, and the implications t...

AIMS this work aims at demonstrating that multiple systemic conditions, in association with the development of bisphosphonate associated osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), increase the risk of complications and may lead to hospitalization. For this reason the dental approach to patients with multisystem disease should be carefully managed by a team of specialists. CASE REPORT a case of mandibula...

[Purpose] This study was conducted to compare the swallowing function and quality of life (QOL) in stroke patients with dysphagia by oral intake level. [Subjects and Methods] Seventy-nine stroke patients with dysphagia were enrolled. All subjects were evaluated by using the Swallowing Function Test (SFT) and the Swallowing Quality of Life (SWAL-QOL) questionnaire. The subjects were divided into...

In surgery, indications for artificial nutrition comprise prevention and treatment of catabolism and malnutrition. Thus in general, food intake should not be interrupted postoperatively and the re-establishing of oral (e.g. after anastomosis of the colon and rectum, kidney transplantation) or enteral food intake (e.g. after an anastomosis in the upper gastrointestinal tract, liver transplantati...

1. Five healthy volunteers (usual fat intake 103 (SE 9) g/d and energy intake 9855 (SE 937) kJ/d were given on two separate occasions (a) 100 g oral glucose and (b) sufficient intravenous (IV) glucose to obtain similar arterialized plasma glucose levels to those after oral glucose. 2. Subjects increased their fat intake by 68 (SE 9.6)% for 28 d by supplementing their diet with 146 ml double cre...
