Infusion of Total Parenteral Nutrition via the Umbilical Artery

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1991
The administration of total parenteral nutrition through umbilical artery catheters in 48 neonates (birth weight 1.7 ± 0.58 kg) was compared with administration via central venous catheters in 26 infants (birth weight 2.05 ± 0.89 kg). There was no significant difference in the amount of calories delivered (72 ± 12 us 78 ± 18 cal/kg/day) or in the mean ...

Octreotide as an adjunct to home parenteral nutrition in the management of permanent end-jejunostomy syndrome.

JPEN - Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1994
Intravenous fluid requirements for patients with permanent end-jejunostomy syndrome often exceeds 3 L/d, making rehabilitation difficult. The effect of the somatostatin analogue, octreotide (100 micrograms TID, subcutaneously) in reducing requirements ...

A New Swivel Model for Parenteral and Enteral Infusion in Rats

Journal of Surgical Research, 2005
In experimentation with rats submitted to enteral and parenteral infusions for medium to long periods it is necessary to use swivels. With the objective of developing a new biocompatible, safe, efficient, and low cost swivel, the medical and engineering teams of the University of São Paulo joined forces.After defining the characteristics and criteria ...

PROTRACTED PARENTERAL DRUG INFUSION IN AMBULATORY SUBJECTS USING AN IMPLANTABLE INFUSION PUMP

ASAIO Journal, 1977
This study demonstrates the feasibility of ambulatory heparin therapy and its potential for successful treatment of refractory thromboembolic disease. The proven capability of the implantable infusion pump to provide long-term heparin infusion in ambulatory subjects suggests that it may have application in the delivery of other parenteral drugs as well.

Growth hormone and pulmonary disease. Metabolic effects in patients receiving parenteral nutrition.

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1990
Six severely malnourished patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were maintained for 3 days with infusions of 5% dextrose in water followed by 12 days of eucaloric total parenteral nutrition. On days 8 through 11, they received 30 micrograms/

Tracing sources of infection associated with parenteral infusions

1978
Since 1969, the Department of Clinical Microbiology, St Thomas’ Hospital, London, has recorded the clinical progress of all patients with bacteraemia. Our experience has included most of the described variants of infusion-related sepsis, and it is our purpose now to give an account of infusion-related bacteraemia in one hospital.

Amino acid-induced hypercalciuria in patients on total parenteral nutrition.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1983
Ingestion of protein is known to increase urinary calcium excretion. By studying the effect of intravenous amino acid infusion on calcium excretion, the variables of diets and intestinal absorption are avoided. Five patients on total parenteral nutrition

Parenteral Arginine Infusion in Humans: Nutrient Substrate or Pharmacologic Agent?

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1992
When given as a dietary supplement, arginine enhances lymphocyte mitogenesis and improves nitrogen balance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate arginine's ability to mediate these same effects when given as the sole nitrogen source with minimum additional calories.

Glutamine-enriched total parenteral nutrition enhances plasma glutathione in the resting state.

Journal of Surgical Research, 1996
Glutathione (GSH) is the major intracellular antioxidant and is essential to normal cell function and replication. Cysteine and other thiol compounds have been considered rate-limiting for GSH biosynthesis, but recent studies have demonstrated that ...

Neutrophil functions during total parenteral nutrition and Intralipid infusion

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1982
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) has been associated with an increased incidence of infection. To assess the hypothesis that TPN, and in particular one of its constituents, the rat emulsion Intralipid, might impair host defense, we investigated in vitro migration, bactericidal functions, and chemiluminescence of the neutrophil granulocyte in four ...
