Nutrition care for the adult post-intestinal transplant patient
Nutr Clin Pract. 2023 Dec 9. doi: 10.1002/ncp.11100. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIntestinal transplantation has emerged as an accepted treatment choice for individuals experiencing irreversible intestinal failure. This treatment is particularly relevant for those who are not candidates or have poor response to autologous gut reconstruction or trophic hormone therapy, and who can no longer be sustained on parenteral nutrition. One of the main goals of transplant is to eliminate the need for parenteral support and its associated complications, while safely restoring complete nutrition autonomy. An intestinal transplant is ...

Amplifying the lived experiences of parenteral nutrition consumers through the thematic analysis of social media posts
CONCLUSIONS: The identified themes provide a broader understanding of contemporary shared lived experiences and concerns relevant to PN consumers and their caregivers. Given the evolving nature of daily stressors, periodic reanalysis may be necessary.PMID:38063263 | DOI:10.1002/ncp.11097 (Source: Nutrition in Clinical Practice)

Explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach to understand how registered dietitians implemented computed tomography skeletal muscle assessments in clinical practice
CONCLUSION: Preliminary results suggest RDs found CT SM assessments positively contributed to their nutrition care practice, particularly in completing nutrition assessments and in planning, advocating for, and implementing nutrition interventions. Use of CT SM assessments in clinical practice requires innovative IT solutions and strategies to support skill development and use in clinical nutrition care.PMID:38047580 | DOI:10.1002/ncp.11093 (Source: Nutrition in Clinical Practice)

Immunosuppression in solid organ-transplant recipients and impact on nutrition support
Nutr Clin Pract. 2023 Nov 29. doi: 10.1002/ncp.11099. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA key component to nutrition support is to consider immunosuppressive agents, the interaction with nutrients, and how the side effects of the medications influence nutrition support. The immunosuppression of the solid organ-transplant recipient involves the individualized titration of multiple therapeutic agents to prevent allorecognition and, thus, rejection of the transplanted organ. Induction immunosuppression includes the agents used at the time of transplant to prevent early rejection. Maintenance immunosuppression typically consists o...

Treatment of refractory shock with vitamin B < sub > 12 < /sub > : A narrative review
Nutr Clin Pract. 2023 Nov 29. doi: 10.1002/ncp.11095. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHigh-dose vitamin B12 is a potential treatment for patients with vasodilatory shock that is refractory to other therapies. Vasodilatory shock is characterized by low blood pressure and low systemic vascular resistance. Nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide, two potential targets of high-dose vitamin B12 given as hydroxocobalamin, facilitate this syndrome. This review explores the relationship between high-dose vitamin B12 and hemodynamic outcomes in adults with vasodilatory shock and provides an update on the literature since a 2019 review on t...
