Lipid emulsion therapy (LET) is the intravenous administration of lipid solution for parenteral alimentation, especially in preterm infants and adults with debilitating illnesses. It has also been used in attempts of detoxification in suspected cases of drug overdose. Whether this interferes with circulation and/or perfusion is debatable, and it is suggested that it may interfere with coagulation process. The emulsifying agent has been identified microscopically mainly in the lungs of these patients, with rare reports in adults and even more rare ones in the brain; however, although it is rarely reported in other organs, to our knowledge, no reports of gross autopsy findings in the brain are available in the English literature, nor are there reports of pathologic findings after lipid emulsion therapy administration for drug toxicity...

BACKGROUND Chemical burns in the oral cavity, although rare, cause more severe tissue damage than thermal burns, continuing tissue destruction even after removing the causative substance. Prompt identification of the substance, exposure extent, time from injury to treatment, and the injured area are imperative for effective management. This report details severe oral burns in an elderly woman from accidental NaOH ingestion. CASE REPORT A 70-year-old female patient was presented to our hospital approximately 15 h after inadvertent consumption of approximately 20 ml of NaOH (sodium hydroxide) solution...

Malnutrition is a common condition among hospitalized patients and has an important impact on morbidity and mortality. Despite enteral nutrition being the preferred option for patients requiring artificial alimentation, parenteral nutrition (PN) can be required. This article emphasizes the importance of choosing the adequate vascular access based on the chosen PN. Furthermore, it reviews indications, contraindications and complications of PN.

Animal welfare has become the key concept in EU animal protection law and is often used as a slogan in political speeches. It is a complex concept, however, that is often misunderstood. Its politico-scientific origins leave their mark, blurring its ethical purpose. Its implementation is as promising as it is chaotic, as shown by the example of cage farming. A case study of the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) “End the Cage Age” shows that the ethical purpose is both served and undermined by the necessary mobilization of scientific data...

The digital advertising environment influences children’s food choices in a context of over-representation of fatty, sweet and salty products. Restricting this influence proves complex, given the variety and novelty of the marketing techniques used, subject to legal regimes that combine traditional branches of market law with new rules specific to the digital environment. Despite the assertion of children’s rights in relation to the digital environment, minors and their health are not sufficiently protected...

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of an online approach to monitoring food affordability in Ontario using the updated Ontario Nutritious Food Basket (ONFB). Methods: The ONFB was priced online in 12 large multi-chain grocery stores to test intra-/inter-rater reliability using percent agreement and intra-class correlations (ICCs). Then, the ONFB was priced in-store and online in 28 stores to estimate food price differences using paired t-tests and Pearson's correlation for all (n =1708) and matched items (same product/brand and purchase unit) (n = 1134)...

The present study evaluated the effects of sodium butyrate (SB) supplementation on exocrine and endocrine pancreatic development in dairy calves. Fourteen male Holstein calves were alimented with either milk or milk supplemented with SB for 70 days. Pancreases were collected for analysis including staining, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, qRT-PCR, Western blotting, and proteomics. Results indicated increased development in the SB group with increases in organ size, protein levels, and cell growth. There were also exocrine enhancements manifested as higher enzyme activities and gene expressions along with larger zymogen granules...

Tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) performed during total laryngectomy in the primary treatment of laryngeal cancer is the standard method for voice restoration. Following adjuvant radiotherapy, the TEP site can experience complications resulting in a tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) with chronic leakage making oral alimentation unsafe due to aspiration. Here, we describe a technique using chimeric ulnar artery perforator forearm free flaps (UAPFF) in the reconstruction of these complex deformities. Four patients underwent chimeric UAPFF reconstruction of TEP site TEFs following primary TL with TEP and adjuvant radiotherapy...

Peto's paradox and the epidemiologic observation of the average six degrees of tumor prevalence are studied and hypothetically solved. A simple consideration, Petho's paradox challenges our intuitive understanding of cancer risk and prevalence. Our simple consideration is that the more a cell divides, the higher the chance of acquiring cancerous mutations, and so the larger or longer-lived organisms have more cells and undergo more cell divisions over their lifetime, expecting to have a higher risk of developing cancer...

A significant portion of the pediatric population is affected by allergy diseases, which have become a worldwide public health concern. Could maternal diet during pregnancy or breastfeeding influence allergy outcomes in offspring? If this cause-and-effect relationship exists, it will be simpler to design prevention strategies to reduce the incidence of allergic disorders in children, reduce costs to the public health system and to parents, and improve the quality of life of allergic children and their parents...

After a period of intense development in the synthesis pharmaceutical industry, plants are making a comeback in the public focus as remedies or therapeutic adjuvants and in disease prevention and ensuring the wellbeing and equilibrium of the human body. Plants are being recommended more and more in alimentation, in their natural form, or as extracts, supplements or functional aliments. People, in general, are in search of new sources of nutrients and phytochemicals. As a result, scientific research turns to lesser known and used plants, among them being rowanberries, a species of fruit very rich in nutrients and underused due to their bitter astringent taste and a lack of knowledge regarding the beneficial effects of these fruit...
