Purpose Of Review: Parenteral nutrition is an integral part of the care of infants in the neonatal ICU. However, prolonged use of parenteral nutrition can be associated with adverse outcomes, most notably parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease, now known as intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD). This review highlights pertinent developments in the epidemiology of IFALD as it pertains to neonates and showcases recent advances in the pathophysiology, treatment, and outcomes of neonates with IFALD.

Recent Findings: The role of intravenous lipid emulsions in the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of IFALD remains a target for investigative studies. Recent data continues to support the use of fish-oil based intravenous lipids, but its use is limited due to concerns for essential fatty acid deficiency. Use of soy-based lipids and mixed lipids is not wrought with such concerns as these are often used at greater doses but their use is limited due to higher proinflammatory fatty acid content, increased phytosterols and decreased antioxidants, risk factors for the development of IFALD.

Summary: Hepatic complications may limit the use of parenteral nutrition in the neonatal ICU. However, the pathophysiology of IFALD is continuing to be further elucidated and novel targets are being developed for the treatment of IFALD. As noninvasive disease monitoring strategies continue to be developed, early enteral nutrition ameliorates the risk of IFALD and should be considered when possible.

Improving nutrition practices for postoperative high-risk heart transplant and ventricular assist device implant patients in circulatory compromise: A quality improvement pre- and post-protocol intervention outcome study.

Authors:
Ranna Modir Eric Hadhazy Jeffrey Teuteberg William Hiesinger Zeynep Tulu Charles Hill

Nutr Clin Pract 2022 May 23. Epub 2022 May 23.

Anesthesia - Cardiac, Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford, California, USA.

Background: Patients undergoing heart transplant (HT) and ventricular assist device (VAD) implant may experience intra- and postoperative complications requiring high-dose vasopressor agents and/or mechanical circulatory support. These complications increase the risk of nonocclusive bowel ischemia (NOBI) and inadequate enteral nutrition (EN) delivery, and guidance for this high-risk patient population is limited. To optimize nutrition support practices in this patient population at our institution, we created the High-Risk Nutrition Support Protocol (HRNSP) to improve nutrient delivery and promote safer EN practices in the setting of NOBI risk factors after HT and VAD implant.

Early oral feeding after pancreatoduodenectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Authors:
James M Halle-Smith Rupaly Pande Sarah Powell-Brett Samir Pathak Sanjay Pandanaboyana Andrew M Smith Keith J Roberts

HPB (Oxford) 2022 Apr 26. Epub 2022 Apr 26.

Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Unit, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom; College of Medical and Dental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom.

Background: The effect of early oral feeding (EOF) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) upon perioperative complications and outcomes is unknown, therefore the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of EOF on clinical outcomes after PD, such as postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), delayed gastric emptying (DGE) and length of stay (LOS).

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidance and assimilated evidence from studies reporting outcomes for patients who received EOF after PD compared to enteral tube feeding (EN) or parenteral nutrition (PN).

Results: Four studies reported outcomes after EOF compared to EN/PN after PD and included 553 patients. Read More

High Dose Vitamin D3 Supplementation Is Not Associated With Lower Mortality in Critically Ill Patients: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Control Trials.

Authors:
Zhiwei Gao Jianfeng Xie Cong Li Ling Liu Yi Yang

Front Nutr 2022 4;9:762316. Epub 2022 May 4.

Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Critical Care Medicine, School of Medicine Southeast University, Zhongda Hospital, Nanjing, China.

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a common condition in critically ill patients. A high dose of vitamin D3 can rapidly restore vitamin D levels. The aim of this meta-analysis was to synthesize the results from up-to-date randomized control trials (RCT) and validate the effect of vitamin D3 in critically ill patients. Read More

Oxidative Stability in Lipid Formulations: a Review of the Mechanisms, Drivers, and Inhibitors of Oxidation.

Authors:
Jasmine Musakhanian Jean-David Rodier Masumi Dave

AAPS PharmSciTech 2022 May 20;23(5):151. Epub 2022 May 20.

Gattefossé, Paramus, NJ, USA.

The importance of lipid-based formulations in addressing solubility and ultimately the bioavailability issues of the emerging drug entities is undeniable. Yet, there is scarcity of literature on lipid excipient chemistry and performance, notably in relation to oxidative stability. While not all lipid excipients are prone to oxidation, those with sensitive moieties offer drug delivery solutions that outweigh the manageable oxidative challenges they may present. Read More
