BACKGROUND Preparations from anthroposophical medicine (AM) are clinically used to treat inflammatory disorders. We wanted to investigate effects of a selection of AM medications for parenteral use in cell-based systems in vitro. METHODS Colchicum officinale tuber D3, Mandragora D3, Rosmarinus officinale 5% and Bryophyllum 5% were selected for the experiments. Induction of apoptosis and necro...

Abstract Aim Many neonatal surgical patients require intravenous (IV) access for >1 week. Technical, organisational, and cultural factors reduced placement of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs). Most babies requiring parenteral nutrition/central medications undergo venous line under general anaesthetic (GA). Repeated bedside cannulation causes distress to parents, with workl...

Central venous catheters (CVCs) are an intravenous catheter is placed with one end in a wide vessel and the other exteriorized via skin or implanted beneath for therapeutic administration. It used administration of parenteral fluid nutrition delivering medications. The delivery medication made easier use CVC, it also could be to introduce resuscitation nutritional fluids into veins high blood f...

BACKGROUND Recent trials have questioned the benefit of early parenteral nutrition in adults. The effect of early parenteral nutrition on clinical outcomes in critically ill children is unclear. METHODS We conducted a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial involving 1440 critically ill children to investigate whether withholding parenteral nutrition for 1 week (i.e., providing late parente...

Although the use of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) has been increasing in recent years, few studies have been performed on both its costs and its effectiveness or benefits. This paper provides a general review of the methods of cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis, summarizes briefly the existing cost-analysis studies of TPN, and outlines the authors' proposed study design for their e...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of total parenteral nutrition and octreotide on pediatric patients with chylous ascites post-operative. METHODS Four patients were diagnosed with chylous ascites from Nov 2009 to Nov 2012. Total parenteral nutrition and octreotide was administered to 2 patients, while the other two only received fasting and total parenteral nutrition. All patients had persisten...

Introduction: Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) improves quality of life, allowing patients to receive nutrition at home and providing a social and labor integration to these patients. Objective: To assess the direct costs of HPN in adult population in Spain. Methods: A literature review of the records of HPN in Spain, carry out by NADYA-SENPE Group (years 2007-2014), was performed. The analysis...

A microcomputer program has been designed to provide comprehensive assistance to the clinician in prescribing parenteral nutrition in children of all ages. It is implemented on a fully portable, independent machine that can be taken to the bedside anywhere in the hospital. The user is guided through a standardised prescribing process based on a well tried protocol and taking into account the pa...

In 1279 very premature or very low birthweight infants the use and duration of treatment with total parenteral nutrition were associated with short gestational age and low birth weight. Infants treated with total parenteral nutrition had a higher risk of sepsis usually caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis or Staphylococcus aureus.

Objective: The objective of present research work is formulation and evaluation parenteral in-situ forming biodegradable implant for controlled release levothyroxine sodium. Material Method: study used N-Methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) triacetin as solvents PLGA a polymer to manufacture two polymeric drug delivery systems, (ISFI) micro particles (ISM). Other tests, such sterility, percent entrapment c...
