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 conducted a Bayesian network meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of different nutritional interventions for patients with liver cirrhosis, and found that EN + intestinal probiotics appeared to be the most effective strategy.

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: 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: 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 evaluated the medical staff resources in Polish HPN units, finding disparities in the allocation of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and dietitians across different units, highlighting the need to address the shortage of healthcare professionals during the pandemic.

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: Enteral nutrition combined with parenteral nutrition intervention has a positive effect on the clinical prognosis of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), reducing the risk of lung infection and improving long-term quality of life score.

Summary: Parenteral nutrition is a life-saving intervention for patients who cannot receive oral or enteral nutrition. It consists of essential components such as carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, vitamins, and electrolytes. Parenteral nutrition should be provided through a central line to prevent complications. However, peripheral administration is possible in some cases. Monitoring and early management are crucial to prevent complications associated with parenteral nutrition therapy.

Summary: Metabolomic differences were observed between premature infants on Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) and those on enteral feeds, with higher concentrations of essential amino acids, lipids, and vitamins in infants on enteral feeds. This suggests the nutritional benefit of an enteral feeding regimen for growth and development.

Summary: Intestinal failure (IF) results from a reduction in gut mass, leading to inadequate digestion and absorption. Most cases are caused by intrinsic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, while a few arise from other sources. Improved diagnostic and therapeutic tools have increased prevalence and life expectancy of IF, expanding knowledge on the pathophysiological mechanisms.

Summary: The study shows that episodes of ENI in critically ill patients are frequent and prolonged, often leading to underfeeding. The proportion of underfeeding is higher on trial days with ENI, with lower caloric and protein intake.
