Barriers and facilitators to the national scale-up of a preterm standardised parenteral nutrition system: A mixed-methods evaluation. [PDF]

JPGN Rep
Abstract Objective Standardising parenteral nutrition (PN) care for preterm infants is recommended to enhance safety, outcomes and efficiency, however implementation at scale remains challenging. In 2021, Ireland scaled‐up a standardised parenteral nutrition (SPN) system comprising SPN formulations and dosing protocol.

Reinforcement of Dextran Methacrylate-Based Hydrogel, Semi-IPN, and IPN with Multivalent Crosslinkers

Gels
The need for new biomaterials to meet the needs of advanced healthcare therapies is constantly increasing. Polysaccharide-based matrices are considered extremely promising because of their biocompatibility and soft structure; however, their use is limited by their poor mechanical properties.

The similarity between microbiota of gut and pancreatic necrotic drainage fluid in infected pancreatic necrosis and its potential diagnostic value: a prospective observational cohort study [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Background Infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is a major determinant of mortality in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). Although gut bacterial translocation has been proposed as a key mechanism, direct evidence based on paired profiling of gut and ...

Development of leftover rice/gelatin interpenetrating polymer network films for food packaging

Green Processing and Synthesis, 2021
Waste biomass can be used as a raw material for food packaging. Different concentrations of gelatin (GEL) were introduced into the leftover rice (LR) system to form an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) for improving the properties of the films.
