The relationship between enteral nutrition, energy metabolism and gut homeostasis during the course of critical illness.
Nutrition has an indirect effect on the gastrointestinal function of the host and thereby on health, mainly by influencing the composition and activity of the human gut microbiota. The aim of this PhD project was to investigate the effect of nutrition as a factor affecting the intestinal …

Effect of an external visual cue on delivery of enteral nutrition in a university trauma/surgical/burn intensive care unit
Background: Enteral nutrition in the critically ill patient is interrupted for myriad reasons some of which include withholding for operations, diagnostic tests, high residuals, feeding tube displacements and routine care. We sought to determine if use of an external visual cue by nursing increases …

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 …
