Delirium is a serious and complex problem facing critically ill patients. This retrospective study aimed to explore the association between prognostic nutrition index (PNI) and delirium in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). This study was based on the Medical Information Mart Intensive Care IV (MIMIC IV) database. Patients over 18 years of age were enrolled. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the association between PNI and delirium...

OBJECTIVE: Identify infants with abnormal suckling behavior from simple non-nutritive suckling devices. BACKGROUND: While it is well known breastfeeding is beneficial to the health of both mothers and infants, breastfeeding ceases in 75 percent of mother-child dyads by 6 months. The current standard of care lacks objective measurements to screen infant suckling abnormalities within the first few days of life, a critical time to establish milk supply and successful breastfeeding practices...

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-threatening condition characterized by rapid liver function deterioration, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach for optimal perioperative care. This comprehensive review focuses on the critical role of the anaesthesiologist throughout the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases, addressing the unique challenges posed by ALF. The article begins with an exploration of ALF, underlining the urgency of timely referral to specialized hepatology centres. Liver transplantation emerges as a life-saving intervention, and the complex decision-making process is discussed, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary team to assess transplantation candidacy based on established prognostic criteria...

BACKGROUND: Leak following surgical repair of traumatic duodenal injuries results in prolonged hospitalization and oftentimes nil per os(NPO) treatment. Parenteral nutrition(PN) has known morbidity; however, duodenal leak(DL) patients often have complex injuries and hospital courses resulting in barriers to enteral nutrition(EN). We hypothesized EN alone would be associated with 1)shorter duration until leak closure and 2)less infectious complications and shorter hospital length of stay(HLOS) compared to PN...

BACKGROUND: The emergence of smartphones has sparked a transformation across multiple fields, with health care being one of the most notable due to the advent of mobile health (mHealth) apps. As mHealth apps have gained popularity, there is a need to understand their energy consumption patterns as an integral part of the evolving landscape of health care technologies. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify the key contributors to elevated energy consumption in mHealth apps and suggest methods for their optimization, addressing a significant void in our comprehension of the energy dynamics at play within mHealth apps...

OBJECTIVES: the prevention of central line-associated bloodstream infections is a critical aspect of care for patients with intestinal failure who are treated with parenteral nutrition. The use of taurolidine in this context is becoming increasingly popular, however there is a lack of standardization in its pediatric application. The objective of this work is to develop a guide to support its prescription. METHODOLOGY: the guide is based on a review of the literature and expert opinions from the Intestinal Failure Group of the SEGHNP...

BACKGROUND: Malrotation and volvulus classically present with bilious vomiting. It is more common earlier in life, but there are other causes of bile-stained vomiting. This leads some clinicians to 'watch and wait'. In the presence of a volvulus, this is potentially a fatal decision. It is not clear from the literature if there is a safe time window in which children can be observed in the hope of avoiding transfers or radiological investigations. AIM: To determine whether time to identification and management of midgut volvulus correlated with morbidity and mortality; and whether there were patterns to transition of care...

BACKGROUND: The increase in prevalence of liver disease globally will lead to a substantial incremental burden on intensive care requirements. While liver transplantation offers a potential life-saving intervention, not all patients are eligible due to limitations such as organ availability, resource constraints, ongoing sepsis or multiple organ failures. Consequently, the focus of critical care of patients with advanced and decompensated cirrhosis turns to liver-centric intensive care protocols, to mitigate the high mortality in such patients...

BACKGROUND: The timeline of the three Pediatric International Nutrition Studies (PINS) coincided with the publication of 2 major guidelines for the timing of parenteral nutrition (PN) and recommended energy and protein delivery dose. OBJECTIVE: The study's main objective was to describe changes in the nutrition delivery practice recorded in PINS 1 and 2 (conducted in 2009 and 2011, pre-exposure epoch) versus PINS 3 (conducted in 2018,post-exposure epoch), in relation to the published practice guidelines...

Body composition assessment plays a pivotal role in understanding health, disease risk, and treatment efficacy. This narrative review explores two primary aspects: imaging techniques, namely ultrasound (US) and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and mobile health apps in telehealth for body composition. Although US is valuable for assessing subcutaneous fat and muscle thickness, DXA accurately quantifies bone mineral content, fat mass, and lean mass. Despite their effectiveness, accessibility and cost remain barriers to widespread adoption...

INTRODUCTION: Lifestyle factors, including inadequate eating patterns, emerge as a critical determinant of chronic disease. Apart from caring for patients, nurses should also take an active role in monitoring and managing their own health. Understanding the intricate relationship between nurses' eating behavior and managing their own health is crucial for fostering a holistic approach to healthcare, therefore our study aimed to evaluate eating behavior and demographic factors influencing chronic disease prevalence in a sample of community nurses from Romania...

BACKGROUND: In Swiss intensive care units (ICUs), nutritional management is hardly or not at all supported or supervised by dietitians. Nutritional management in the ICU is mainly performed by ICU nursing staff and intensive care specialists. In 2022, the role of an advanced practice dietitian (APD) was newly defined, created, and implemented in a Swiss ICU as part of a pilot project. In contrast to other countries, APDs are still scarce in Switzerland. Evaluation of the APD role is essential to further define the position and adapt it to needs...

The field of inherited metabolic diseases (IMD) has initially emerged and developed over decades in pediatric departments. Still, today, about 50% of patients with IMD are adults, and adult metabolic medicine (AMM) is getting more structured at national and international levels. There are several domains in which pediatricians can learn from AMM. First, long-term evolution of IMD patients, especially those treated since childhood, is critical to determine nutritional and neuropsychiatric outcomes in adults so that these outcomes can be better monitored, and patient care adjusted as much as possible from childhood...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Emerging evidence suggests that the gut microbiota and its metabolites regulate neurodevelopment and cognitive functioning via a bi-directional communication system known as the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA). RECENT FINDINGS: The MGBA influences brain development and function via the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, the vagal nerve, immune signaling, bacterial production of neurotransmitters, and microbial metabolites like short-chain fatty acids, tryptophan derivatives, and bile acids...

BACKGROUND: The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score and the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) have emerged as important nutritional indices because they provide an objective assessment based on data. We aimed to investigate how these nutritional indices relate to outcomes in patients with sepsis. METHODS: Data were collected retrospectively at five hospitals for patients aged ≥18 years receiving treatment for sepsis between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2021...
