Background And Objective: International evidence shows that patients treated at non-urban hospitals experience poorer access to key stroke interventions. Evidence whether this results in poorer outcomes is conflicting and generally based on administrative or voluntary registry data. The aim of this study was to use prospective high-quality comprehensive nationwide patient level data to investigate the association between hospital geography and stroke patient outcomes and access to best practice stroke care in New Zealand.

Background & Aims: The term enteral feeding intolerance (FI) is frequently used in clinical practice and the literature, yet there is no standardised definition. FI is often quoted as a reason for failure to meet enteral nutrition (EN) targets but the lack of a consensus definition precludes accurate estimates of prevalence, predictors and clinical outcomes associated with FI. A systematic review was performed of studies in adult critical care patients to evaluate the definitions, relative risk, predictors and clinical outcomes of FI and to propose a uniform definition.

Aim: Critical ill patients experience catabolic stress, which results in a systemic inflammatory response. The inflammatory response is associated with increased complications, including infection, multi-organ dysfunction, increased length of ICU stays, and mortality. l-Carnitine supplementation may play an important role in these patients by regulating inflammatory cell function.
