Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in pediatric patients.
Published in JPEN. Journal of parenteral and enteral nutrition
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a spectrum of liver disease ranging from simple hepatic steatosis to steatohepatitis, hepatic fibrosis, and cirrhosis. It is highly associated with obesity and insulin resistance, and with the dramatic increase in childhood and adolescent obesity, it has become the most common form of chronic liver disease in the...
Drivers of oxidative stress in acute pancreatitis: the role of nutrition therapy.
Published in JPEN. Journal of parenteral and enteral nutrition
Severe acute pancreatitis is a disease process distinguished by increasing oxidative stress and potential destruction of the pancreatic gland. An initial injury to the acinar cell initiates a sentinel event, which leads to a vicious cycle of inflammation and cell death by either apoptosis or necrosis. Whether the acute inflammation resolves or goes...
Optimal protein and energy nutrition decreases mortality in mechanically ventilated, critically ill patients: a prospect...
Published in JPEN. Journal of parenteral and enteral nutrition
Optimal nutrition for patients in the intensive care unit has been proposed to be the provision of energy as determined by indirect calorimetry and the provision of protein of at least 1.2 g/kg. Prospective observational cohort study in a mixed medical-surgical intensive care unit in an academic hospital. In total, 886 consecutive mechanically vent...
Whey- vs casein-based enteral formula and gastrointestinal function in children with cerebral palsy.
Published in JPEN. Journal of parenteral and enteral nutrition
This pilot study shows that in children who have severe CP with a gastrostomy and fundoplication, GE of the whey-based enteral formula is significantly faster than casein. The acceleration in GE does not alter GOR frequency, and there appears to be no effect of whey vs casein in reducing acid, nonacid, and total reflux episodes. The results indicat...
