Protective Care: Mothering a Child Dependent on Parenteral Nutrition
… dependence of these infants and children is parenteral nutrition. Parenteral nutrition, also called total parenteral nutrition (TPN), supplies life-sustaining nutrients through a central venous catheter and requires the use of machinery to pump this fluid directly into the bloodstream. Due to …

Physician compliance with registered dietitian recommendations in total parenteral nutrition patients
… dietitian (RD) recommendations for total parenteral nutrition (TPN) patients and its effect on patient length of hospital stay, days of TPN administration, body weights, albumin and prealburnin levels, and mortality rates. Closed medical charts, from a 350-bed acute care hospital, were …

Comparison of Intravenous Lipid Emulsions in Parenteral Nutrition: A Pilot Study
… and recommended for use in adults receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). Research shows that SMOF lipid infusion is safe for use in post-operative and critically ill patients. Improved patient outcomes are linked to SMOF lipid use over traditional soybean oil lipid emulsions. Objective: The …

Experiences of adult patients living with home parenteral nutrition: a grounded theory study. A qualitative research into the experiences of home parenteral nutrition: discovery of patients’ perspectives.
… (IF) develop problems of malabsorption and malnutrition associated with short bowel syndrome (SBS). Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) became available to treat these patients since the 1970s. There is a paucity of qualitative research on patients’ experiences in the UK. The study aim was to …

Evaluation of nutritional needs in total parenteral nutrition based on non-protein calories versus total calories
… when calculating the energy provided by total parenteral nutrition (TPN) has been debated. Both methods are found in clinical practice. An attempt was made to study 52 patients for seven days, randomized to receive their total energy expenditure from TPN calculated for total calories (TC) or …

A comparison of oral feeding and total parenteral nutrition in infants of very low birth mass
… at best, approximate. With the advent of Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) and the availability of relatively safe solutions of fats and amino-acids for intravenous use, interest has been stimulated in the optimal nutrient and caloric requirements of the growing infant.

Nutritional status of adult patients with Crohn's disease receiving total parenteral nutrition in the home vs. in the hospital
… number of patients who are receiving home total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is increasing. This phenomenon is a result of rising hospital costs and legislation which encourages shorter hospital stays. Previous research has not demonstrated thoroughly change in nutritional status associated with …

Orally Administered IGF -I Combined With Partial Enteral Nutrition Alters Intestinal Morphology and Disaccharidase Activity During Parenteral Nutrition in Neonatal Piglets
Our final study investigated the mechanism(s) by which IGF-I up-regulates LPH activity. The three treatment groups were: 100% TPN, 20% PEN with or without 1.0 mg/kg IGF-I. IGF-I increased LPH activity and LPH activity per unit mature LPH ∼2-fold over PEN alone, but did not affect LPH mRNA or …

The effect of butyrate-supplemented total parenteral nutrition on muc2 mRNA and goblet cell chemotypes in a short bowel syndrome neonatal piglet model
… complications of short bowel syndrome (SBS) and parenteral nutrition (PN). Although mucins help prevent intestinal bacteria translocation, total mucin production has been shown to decrease during PN infusion. Butyrate administration may be a mucin fortifying strategy as it has been shown to …

Aspects of nutrition, metabolism and growth of the low birth weight infant
… administered alone or as a component of total parenteral nutrition was satisfactory for full term infants but produced significant hypernatraemia in infants of <34 weeks gestation during their first few days of life. This hypernatraemia was prevented by the substitution of a solution of lower …

Route of Nutrient Administration Alters Intestinal Immune Cell Composition in Neonatal Piglets
… and are supported totally or partially on parenteral nutrition for several days to weeks postpartum. The use of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is frequently associated with a myriad of complications, primarily due to the lack of enteral stimulation. In neonates, TPN reduces …

Nutrition Support and Newborn Screening in the NICU Population: Is There a Link?
… studied the possible relationship between nutrition and newborn screening in this population. Objective: It is suspected that NICU infants who receive PN are more likely to have abnormal newborn screening results than infants who receive EN. An understanding of the role of nutrition will …
