Summary: This article highlights the importance of home parenteral and enteral nutrition in clinical nutrition and the development of these therapies to support patients. It emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to understand all aspects of HPEN in order to provide safe, effective, and cost-effective support to patients.

Summary: Retrospective studies show that parenteral nutrition during the first week after birth, providing calories, proteins, and lipids, is associated with improved neurodevelopment. However, an enhanced parenteral nutrition protocol in the early stage did not lead to improved neurodevelopmental outcomes. Instead, higher enteral caloric and protein intake in the first week after birth were associated with improved processing speed.

Summary: This study evaluated the use, complications, and nutrition delivery associated with parenteral nutrition (PN) in adult critically ill patients, especially when used early and as the initial route. The results showed that early PN administration was safe and provided adequate nutrition delivery. Additional enteral nutrition (EN), when possible, may optimize protein requirements for patients who received initial PN.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with the need for parenteral nutrition (PN) after starting enteral nutrition (EN) therapy, as well as the complications related to EN. The study found that patients who needed PN were more likely to experience gastrointestinal complications, and higher SOFA score and nutrition-related laboratory parameters were associated with an increased risk for the need of PN.

Summary: The initial nutritional delivery policy and route of nutrition delivery may have an impact on the clinical outcomes of patients with sepsis. Higher protein intake during the first week of sepsis onset is associated with lower in-hospital mortality, while higher energy intake is associated with lower 30-day mortality. Additionally, in patients with a high modified nutrition risk in the critically ill score, enteral feeding with supplemental parenteral nutrition is superior to other routes of nutrition delivery and is associated with lower mortality.

Summary: This study demonstrated the clinical benefits of enteral nutrition (EN) and parenteral nutrition and hydration (PNH) for patients with advanced cancer, showing significantly lower risk of mortality in both EN and PNH groups compared to the control group. Moreover, it was found that managing symptoms to improve oral intake is essential before initiating PNH, as EN was superior to PNH in terms of survival outcomes.

Summary: Supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN) plus enteral nutrition (EN) can reduce the risk of infection in critically ill patients, but it has no significant effect on all-cause mortality.

Summary: This study explores the clinical nursing effect of parenteral nutrition combined with enteral nutrition support in neurosurgery. The results show that the PN+EN group has better nutritional and immune status, lower incidence of adverse events, and shorter average ICU treatment time and hospital stay.

Summary: SAP patients are at high nutritional risk, and early enteral nutrition can significantly reduce mortality and infectious complications by protecting gut barrier function. The role of parenteral nutrition is limited to cases where EN is not feasible or contraindicated.

Summary: The serum concentration of free choline in extremely preterm infants decreases in the first week after birth, then gradually increases over the next 90 days without reaching the initial levels. There is a negative correlation between a high intake of parenteral fluids and serum-free choline levels.

Summary: The study analyzed enteral nutritional support and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients in Brazil, finding that patients who maintained a prone body position had lower intake of calories and protein, and there was an association between inadequacies in protein and energy supply with mortality.

Summary: This study investigated the associations between nutritional status, nutrition support type, and clinical outcomes in adults with multiple myeloma post stem cell transplantation. The results showed that participants who received parenteral nutrition had shorter platelet engraftment time but longer hospital stay, and inadequate energy intake for >= 7 days did not impact clinical outcomes.

Summary: By analyzing the nutrition practices of very preterm infants during the transition phase, it was found that increasing the total protein intake during this phase can reduce the incidence of postnatal growth failure.

Summary: Persistent withdrawal occlusion is a catheter malfunction characterized by the inability to withdraw blood through the device. We found that using ultrasound for assessment is an accurate and safe method to determine if a catheter can be used for chemotherapy in the absence of blood return.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the success rate and complications of using ultrasound-guided axillary vein puncture for cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) implantation, as well as compare the complication rates between ultrasound-guided technique and conventional techniques. The study found that ultrasound-guided venipuncture had a high success rate and lower incidence of both early and late complications compared to conventional techniques.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of SBS etiology and other factors on the achievement of enteral autonomy following autologous gastrointestinal reconstructive (AGIR) surgery. The results showed that AGIR procedures significantly increased small bowel length, and the percentage of expected small bowel length and the etiology of SBS are likely predictors of surgical outcomes.

Summary: To promote a human rights-based approach in the field of clinical nutrition, the International Working Group for Patient's Right to Nutritional Care launched the International Declaration on the Human Right to Nutritional Care in Vienna. This non-legally binding document sets a shared vision and five principles for actions that would promote access to nutritional care. Implementation programs should be based on international normative frameworks such as the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Rome Declaration, and the Working Plan of the Decade of Action on Nutrition.

Summary: Muscle wasting is a hallmark of critical illness, and patients in the intensive care unit can develop this condition due to increased protein breakdown, decreased protein synthesis, or both. Factors such as chronic inflammation, cytokine imbalance, insulin resistance, hypermetabolism, and malnutrition contribute to muscle wasting. In addition, muscle wasting is a harmful consequence of complications associated with deteriorated renal function in chronic kidney disease patients.
