Outpatient preoperative parenteral nutrition in malnourished surgical patients: A feasibility study (the OPPORTUNITY study)

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Preoperative parenteral nutrition (PN) improves outcomes in malnourished surgical patients. Traditionally, this requires hospital admission, increasing length of stay and costs—challenges worsened by limited hospital bed availability. Outpatient PN may offer a feasible alternative.

A structured multidisciplinary home parenteral nutrition program in a public healthcare system: Implementation model, nursing‐led training protocol, and 11‐year safety outcomes

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is the standard of care for adults with chronic intestinal failure (CIF), but evidence from publicly funded healthcare systems in middle‐income countries is limited. This study describes an 11‐year experience of a structured, nursing‐led HPN program within Brazil's Unified Health System (SUS ...

Successful Treatment of Bacillus cereus Bacteremia in a Patient with Propionic Acidemia

Case Reports in Pediatrics, 2016
Bacillus cereus can cause serious, life-threatening, systemic infections in immunocompromised patients. The ability of microorganism to form biofilm on biomedical devices can be responsible for catheter-related bloodstream infections.

Driving Drugs Deeper: Force‐Driven Microneedle Systems for Active Therapy and Their Road Towards Clinical Implementation

Small, EarlyView.
Force‐driven microneedles are presented as active therapeutic microdevices that overcome the diffusion limits of conventional patches. By integrating gas generation, magnetic actuation, cavitation, or iontophoresis, these systems drive payloads deeper into tissue, enabling faster, more controlled delivery and highlighting key design principles and ...

Clinical profile and outcome of antibiotic lock therapy for bloodstream infections in pediatric hematology/oncology patients in a tertiary care hospital, Karachi, Pakistan

International Journal of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 2019
Background: Intravascular catheters are susceptible to infections, thus requiring catheter removal and leading to increased morbidity and costs. Antibiotic lock therapy (ALT) is a therapeutic technique that is used to salvage the catheter.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Candida utilis catheter-related bloodstream infection

Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2014
Central venous catheter-related fungemia are increasing in the last years, also due to rare fungi. We report the case of a Candida utilis catheter-related bloodstream infection in a patient with metastatic carcinoma of the bladder and a long term totally implanted venous catheter. The diagnosis was done by paired blood cultures and differential time to

Progress Toward a Portable Artificial Lung: A Systematic Review

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Eight portable respiratory assist devices were identified. The CE‐marked MobyBox and the FDA‐approved Breethe OXY‐1 system are in clinical use. Each device is substantially minimized to allow ambulation, but further work is required to address challenges related to anticoagulant management and safe mobilization. Created in BioRender.
