Summary: A double-blind, placebo-controlled study on geriatric patients undergoing home enteral nutrition (HEN) showed that Proxian(R) probiotic supplement did not significantly reduce infection incidence or modulate inflammation, but demonstrated potential in safety and ease of administration.

Summary: Enteral nutrition causes dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota and an imbalance in some intestinal metabolites in patients in a persistent vegetative state, and intervention with probiotics does not improve dysbiosis.

Summary: The results of the study indicate that probiotics supplementation in severe stroke patients with nasal feeding is effective in improving clinical outcomes, such as increasing Glasgow Coma Scale score, reducing infection events and rate of intestinal flora dysbiosis, as well as shortening the time to reach target nutrition.

Summary: Multimodal therapy (LGJ, enteral nutrition, and chemotherapy) can improve oral intake, nutritional indices, quality of life, and survival in patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction. It safely induces high conversion surgery rate with R0 resection achieved, leading to a better prognosis.

Summary: The study revealed a high incidence of diarrhea in ICU patients, with 73.8% affected. Independent predictors of diarrhea included enteral nutrition, antibiotic usage, and suppositories. Diarrhea may prompt changes in patient care.

Summary: This study found that the most common cause of post-feeding diarrhea is medication associated, with CDAD accounting for less than 10% of diarrhea causes but impacting clinical outcomes and requiring proper identification and treatment. Patients with baseline albumin <3 g/dL and underlying cerebrovascular disease were more likely to develop diarrhea, emphasizing the importance of identifying risk factors for post-feeding diarrhea.

Summary: According to a meta-analysis, fiber supplements help lessen post-feeding diarrhea in hospitalized patients receiving enteral nutrition. However, not all fiber types produced successful outcomes. Diarrhea was significantly reduced by partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG) and mixed soluble/insoluble fiber.

Summary: The study found that preoperative EN therapy is beneficial in shortening postoperative flatus passage days in gastric cancer patients with GOO, especially in those who undergo non-radical surgery. Preoperative PN therapy for up to 3 days may accelerate postoperative flatus passage, but longer PN therapy does not speed up gastrointestinal function recovery.

Summary: Nutritional rehabilitation with naso-gastric feeding (NGF) is crucial for weight restoration in hospitalized anorexia nervosa (AN) patients. Patients treated with NGF have a lower BMI on admission and discharge, longer hospital stay, and a longer time to relapse compared to patients without NGF. Early NGF intervention is associated with a shorter length of hospitalization and facilitates faster recovery.

Summary: Children with cancer are at high risk for nutritional problems, but the importance of nutrition in their treatment is underestimated. This review explores the impact of nutrition on treatment outcomes and the need for a standardized approach to nutritional care in pediatric cancer patients.

Summary: Perinatal depression, a common mood disorder in pregnant and postpartum women, is associated with changes in hormones and gut microbiota. Nutrition and dietary interventions have been shown to alleviate maternal depression, and probiotics have the potential to modulate the development of perinatal mood disorders through regulating microbiota. However, more human evidence is needed.

Summary: This article reviews the evidence on risk factors and protective factors for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants, and summarizes preventive, risk, and predictive factors. The findings suggest that adequate knowledge of preventable or modifiable risk factors, as well as factors that can predict NEC, can help reduce the incidence of NEC in premature infants.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the characteristics of gut microbiota changes in patients with Enteral Nutrition-related Diarrhea (END). The results showed that END patients had lower bacterial richness and diversity compared to patients without END. Additionally, END caused significant changes in bacterial composition.

Summary: This study aimed to update and evaluate the effects of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 on necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), late-onset sepsis (LOS), and time to full feeds (TFF) in preterm infants. The results showed that LR DSM 17938 may reduce the incidence of NEC and LOS in preterm infants, and shorten TFF. However, the existing evidence was of very low certainty and further research is needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: Enteral immunonutrition did not show significant differences compared to enteral nutrition in surgical wound infection, infectious complications, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, CD8+ level, CD4+ level, CD4+/CD8+, lymphocyte, and transferrin, but had significantly higher levels of proalbumin, IgM, and IgG.
