Association between mixed oil lipid emulsions and all-cause infections relative to soybean oil lipid emulsions in hospitalized adults: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Intravenous lipid emulsions are a key component of parenteral nutrition, and their fatty acid compositions may influence immune responses and clinical outcomes.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2020 to December 2022 compared clinical outcomes of hospitalized non-critical care patients receiving parenteral nutrition with either mixed oil or soybean oil lipid emulsions for at least 48 h. The primary outcome was a composite of the presence of pneumonia, urinary tract infection, or an intra-abdominal collection diagnosed within 14 days of initiating parenteral nutrition.

Comparative clinical outcomes of home parenteral nutrition in adults with gastrointestinal or gynecologic cancers versus non-cancer patients: a prospective cohort study using propensity score matching from the Canadian HPN registry.

Background: Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is indicated for patients with intestinal failure, but its use in cancer patients requires careful consideration due to the unique challenges and complexities involved.

Methods: This prospective cohort study analyzed data from cancer patients receiving HPN, recorded in the Canadian HPN Registry from 2003 to 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: those with gastrointestinal or gynecologic cancer and a propensity score-matched cohort of non-cancer patients.

The Impact of a Prolonged Multivitamin Shortage on Home Parenteral Nutrition Patients: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study with Case Reports of Wernicke's Encephalopathy.

: Shortages in parenteral nutrition (PN) micronutrient components can lead to deficiencies in patients heavily relying on home PN (HPN) to meet nutritional requirements. Despite monitoring, this can cause severe and even life-threatening conditions if intravenous (IV) micronutrients are not available for a prolonged period. : We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the effect of an IV multivitamin shortage that occurred between December 2022 and July 2023.

An Umbrella Review of Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses of Randomized Controlled Trials Investigating the Effect of Curcumin Supplementation on Lipid Profiles.

Context: Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and curcumin may help improve lipid metabolism.

Objective: This umbrella review and updated meta-analysis assessed the effects of curcumin supplementation on lipid profiles.

Data Sources: Electronic databases (Medline, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google Scholar) were searched through March 31, 2023, without language restrictions.

Not Just a Banana: The Extent of Fruit Cross-Reactivity and Reaction Severity in Adults with Banana Allergy.

This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of cross-reactivity and co-allergy to other plant foods among adult patients with IgE-mediated banana allergy in Thailand. A structured questionnaire was used to assess clinical reactivity, and cross-reactivity diagnoses were based on reactions occurring within 2 years of banana allergy onset, within 3 h of intake, and confirmed by allergists. Among the 133 participants, the most commonly associated plant foods with clinical reactions were kiwi (83.

Postprandial hypoglycemia after ileocolic interposition and Billroth-II gastrojejunostomy: A case report.

Postprandial reactive hypoglycemia, or late dumping syndrome, is a common but underrecognized complication from bypass surgery. We report an unusual case of postprandial reactive hypoglycemia in a patient with a severe esophageal stricture from corrosive agent ingestion who underwent ileocolic interposition and an antecolic Billroth-II gastrojejunostomy. A 22-year-old male patient with a one-year history of corrosive ingestion was referred to the hospital for a surgical correction of severe esophageal stricture.

The effect of curcumin supplementation on weight loss and anthropometric indices: an umbrella review and updated meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Curcumin supplementation may promote weight loss and ameliorate obesity-related complications through its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties.

Objective: An umbrella review and updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to evaluate the effect of curcumin supplementation on anthropometric indices.

Methods: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMAs) of RCTs were identified from electronic databases (Medline, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google Scholar) up to 31 March, 2022, without language restriction.

Adult IgE-mediated food allergy is on the rise: A review of phenotypes, pathophysiologic mechanisms, diagnosis, and advances in management.

The prevalence of adult food allergies is increasing worldwide. Many aspects of food allergy in adulthood are different from childhood. We review the current evidence on adult food allergy regarding the global prevalence, adult phenotypes, cofactors, diagnostic methods, and management.

Tropical Oil Consumption and Cardiovascular Disease: An Umbrella Review of Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses.

The health effects of saturated fat, particularly tropical oil, on cardiovascular disease are unclear. We investigated the effect of tropical oil (palm and coconut oils), lard, and other common vegetable oils (soybean and rice bran oils) that are widely used in tropical and Asian countries on lipid profiles. We performed an umbrella review of meta-analyses and systematic reviews.
