Multilevel Analysis of the Neovascularization and Integration Process of a Nonvascularized Rectus Fascia Transplantation

Transplantation Direct
Background. Failure to close the abdominal wall after intestinal transplantation (ITx) or multivisceral Tx remains a surgical challenge. An attractive method is the use of nonvascularized rectus fascia (NVRF) in which both layers of the donor abdominal ...

Alpha1-antitrypsin protects the intestine from ischemia-reperfusion injury in a rat intestinal clamping model

Intestinal Failure
Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a significant hurdle when blood flow is restored to ischemic tissue. Alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT), a serine protease inhibitor, has demonstrated strong anti-inflammatory properties, including inhibition ...

Resting energy expenditure is not defined by bowel function among patients with intestinal failure

Clinical Nutrition Open Science
Background & Aims: Resting energy expenditure (REE) is a critical parameter for assessing energy requirements in patients with chronic intestinal failure (CIF). This study aimed to investigate the influence of intestinal functionality, defined by the

Multivisceral Transplantation as curative Treatment for patients with Diffuse Splanchnic Arterial Ischemia: a case report

Intestinal Failure
Background: Criteria for multivisceral transplantation (MVTx) have broadened. However, diffuse splanchnic arterial ischemia secondary to visceral arterial thrombosis has only been described once.

Long-term Outcome After Nonvascularized Rectus Fascia Transplantation in Solid Organ Transplantation: A Global Multicenter IIRTA Survey

Transplantation Direct
Background. Abdominal wall (AW) closure after solid organ transplantation (SOT) is challenging in case of loss of abdominal domain and/or large-for-size grafts. Primary closure is crucial to avoid open abdomen-associated morbidity and mortality.

Modulating the gut microbiota in Crohn’s disease: a pilot study on the impact of a plant-based diet with DNA-based monitoring

Frontiers in Nutrition
IntroductionCrohn’s Disease (CD) is characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation and dysbiosis. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a plant-based diet (PBD) on gut microbiota composition and inflammation in CD patients and assess the ...

Colonic dilation is associated with increased central line associated blood stream infection for patients with intestinal failure

Intestinal Failure
Introduction: Management of intestinal failure involves supplemental nutrition and complication minimization to achieve enteral autonomy. Previous research to identify prognostic factors in IF focused on the small bowel, yet little work has been done to ...

The negative impact on sleep for caregivers of children with intestinal failure on long-term parenteral nutrition

Intestinal Failure
Objectives: Survival rates for children with intestinal failure (IF) have improved with care provided in the home by family caregivers. Our objective was to compare total nocturnal sleep time (TST-N) in caregivers of children with IF on home PN to ...
