A new definition of intestinal failure is of reduced intestinal absorption so that macronutrient and/or water and electrolyte supplements are needed to maintain health or growth. Severe intestinal failure is when parenteral nutrition and/or fluid are needed and mild intestinal failure is when oral supplements or dietary modification suffice. Treatment aims to reduce the severity of intestinal failure. In the peri-operative period avoiding the administration of excessive amounts of intravenous saline (9 g NaCl/l) may prevent a prolonged ileus. Patients with intermittent bowel obstruction may be managed with a liquid or low-residue diet. Patients with a distal bowel enterocutaneous fistula may be managed with an enteral feed absorbed by the proximal small bowel while no oral intake may be needed for a proximal bowel enterocutaneous fistula. Patients undergoing high-dose chemotherapy can usually tolerate jejunal feeding. Rotating antibiotic courses may reduce small bowel bacterial overgrowth in patients with chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction. Restricting oral hypotonic fluids, sipping a glucose-saline solution (Na concentration of 90-120 mmol/l) and taking anti-diarrhoeal or anti-secretory drugs, reduces the high output from a jejunostomy. This treatment allows most patients with a jejunostomy and > 1 m functioning jejunum remaining to manage without parenteral support. Patients with a short bowel and a colon should consume a diet high in polysaccharides, as these compounds are fermented in the colon, and low in oxalate, as 25% of the oxalate will develop as calcium oxalate renal stones. Growth factors normally produced by the colon (e.g. glucagon-like peptide-2) to induce structural jejunal adaptation have been given in high doses to patients with a jejunostomy and do marginally increase the daily energy absorption. 相似文献

Marketing may have contributed to malpractice litigation by elevating public expectations. If all of the four basic functions of marketing--intelligence, strategy, operations, and communications--are applied well, then marketing may have a significant impact on malpractice risks and costs. 相似文献

Elaborated Intrusion theory (EI theory; Kavanagh, Andrade, & May, 2005) posits two main cognitive components in craving: associative processes that lead to intrusive thoughts about the craved substance or activity, and elaborative processes supporting mental imagery of the substance or activity. We used a novel visuospatial task to test the hypothesis that visual imagery plays a key role in craving. Experiment 1 showed that spending 10 min constructing shapes from modeling clay (plasticine) reduced participants' craving for chocolate compared with spending 10 min 'letting your mind wander'. Increasing the load on verbal working memory using a mental arithmetic task (counting backwards by threes) did not reduce craving further. Experiment 2 compared effects on craving of a simpler verbal task (counting by ones) and clay modeling. Clay modeling reduced overall craving strength and strength of craving imagery, and reduced the frequency of thoughts about chocolate. The results are consistent with EI theory, showing that craving is reduced by loading the visuospatial sketchpad of working memory but not by loading the phonological loop. Clay modeling might be a useful self-help tool to help manage craving for chocolate, snacks and other foods. 相似文献

Background: Medical emergency team (MET) responses have been implemented to reduce inpatient mortality, but data on their efficacy are sparse and there have been no reports to date from US hospitals. Objectives: To determine how the incidence and outcomes of cardiac arrests have changed following increased use of MET. Methods: Objective criteria for MET activation were created and disseminated as part of a crisis management program, after which there was a rapid and sustained increase in the use of MET. A retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes was performed to compare the incidence and mortality of cardiopulmonary arrest before and after the increased use of MET. Results: A retrospective analysis of 3269 MET responses and 1220 cardiopulmonary arrests over 6.8 years showed an increase in MET responses from 13.7 to 25.8 per 1000 admissions (p<0.0001) after instituting objective activation criteria. There was a coincident 17% decrease in the incidence of cardiopulmonary arrests from 6.5 to 5.4 per 1000 admissions (p = 0.016). The proportion of fatal arrests was similar before and after the increase in use of MET. Conclusions: Increased use of MET may be associated with fewer cardiopulmonary arrests. 相似文献

Fly screens that prevented influx of flies in 20 broiler houses during the summer of 2006 in Denmark caused a decrease in Campylobacter spp.-positive flocks from 51.4% in control houses to 15.4% in case houses. A proportional reduction in the incidence of chicken-borne campylobacteriosis can be expected by comprehensive intervention against flies in broiler production houses. 相似文献

Hypertriglyceridemia is a common lipid disorder associated to different, highly prevalent metabolic derangements like diabetes mellitus, the metabolic syndrome and obesity. The choice of treatment depends on the underlying pathogenesis and the consequences for atherosclerosis or pancreatitis. A family history, physical examination and analysis of the lipid profile including measurement of apolipoprotein B or non-HDL-C are necessary to establish the underlying primary or secondary cause. Due to physiological diurnal variations of triglycerides (TG), the time of measurement (fasting or postprandial) should be taken into account when evaluating TG values. Increased awareness arises concerning the impact of postprandial hypertriglyceridemia on the development of atherosclerosis. Hypertriglyceridemia is strongly associated to postprandial hyperlipidemia, remnant accumulation, increased small dense LDL concentrations, low HDL-C, increased oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, leukocyte activation and insulin resistance. All these factors are strongly linked to the development of atherosclerosis. Treatment should be aimed at reducing the secretion of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, increasing intravascular lipolysis and reducing the number of circulating remnants. The main intervention is a change of lifestyle with decreased alcohol consumption, increased physical activity, dietary changes and, if applicable, adaptation of used medication. Fibrates, fish oil and nicotinic acid are the first choice of treatment in sporadic and familial hypertriglyceridemia to reduce the risk of pancreatitis, whereas high dose statins, sometimes in combination with fibrates, nicotinic acid, or fish oil capsules, are indicated for familial combined hyperlipidemia. Statins are necessary to reach low LDL-C concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and statin dosage should be increased when hypertriglyceridemia is present to reach secondary treatment targets for apolipoprotein B or non-HDL-C. Finally, family screening is mandatory to detect familial lipid disorders for early intervention in other family members. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: We assessed whether any household dust reduction intervention has the effect of increasing or decreasing the development or severity of atopic disease. DATA SOURCES: Electronic searches on household intervention and atopic disease were conducted in January 2007 in EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. No date or language restriction was placed on the literature search. DATA EXTRACTION: We included randomized controlled trials comparing asthma outcomes in a household intervention group with either placebo intervention or no intervention. DATA SYNTHESIS: Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Eight recruited antenatally and measured development of atopic disease. Six recruited known atopic individuals and measured disease status change. Meta-analyses on the prevention studies found that the interventions made no difference to the onset of wheeze but made a significant reduction in physician-diagnosed asthma. Meta-analysis of lung function outcomes indicated no improvement due to the interventions but found a reduction in symptom days. Qualitatively, health care was used less in those receiving interventions. However, in one study that compared intervention, placebo, and control arms, the reduction in heath care use was similar in the placebo and intervention arms. CONCLUSIONS: This review suggests that there is not sufficient evidence to suggest implementing hygiene measures in an attempt to improve outcomes in existing atopic disease, but interventions from birth in those at high risk of atopy are useful in preventing diagnosed asthma but not parental-reported wheeze. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is a serious complication for home parenteral nutrition (HPN) patients. To reduce the incidence of infection in frequently infected HPN patients, prophylactic ethanol lock therapy (ELT) was initiated. METHODS: Nine patients were selected as candidates for ELT because of their history of recurrent CRBSI. Diagnosis of CRBSI was determined by symptoms correlating with positive peripheral and access device blood cultures. Medical-grade ethyl alcohol 25%-70% was instilled into the central venous access device and allowed to dwell for 2-4 hours. The incidence of CRBSI and catheter changes was compared before and after initiation of ELT. RESULTS: Nine patients experienced 81 CRBSIs (8.3 per 1,000 catheter-days) before starting ELT vs 9 infections (2.7 per 1,000 catheter-days: relative risk [RR], 0.325; confidence interval [CI] 95%, 0.17-0.64) after ELT. Catheter changes were also reduced from 69 (7.0 per 1000 days) before ELT to 1 (0.3 per 1,000 days: RR, 0.043; CI 95%, 0.01-0.25) after ELT. No significant adverse effects were noted, although some patients complained of transient dizziness and nausea. CONCLUSIONS: ELT shows promise in reducing the incidence of CRBSI in the frequently infected HPN population. Further studies are warranted. 相似文献
