13. Suporte nutricional enteral : um adjuvante terapeutico em cancer de cabeça e pescoço
Malnutrition is very common in hospitalized surgical cancer patient and envolves immune and organic response of the host in all modality of antineoplasic therapy, increasing the morbimortalifcy and septics complications and the permanence of the patient at hospital. The nutritional reserve of the host is necessary for adequate function and for improving the

14. Relative bioavailability in healthy volunteers of ciprofloxacin administered through a nasogastric tube with and without enteral feeding.
The bioavailability of ciprofloxacin after its administration through a nasogastric (NG) feeding tube was studied in six healthy volunteers. Each subject received, on separate occasions, an intact 750-mg ciprofloxacin tablet, a crushed tablet as a suspension through an NG tube, and a crushed tablet as a suspension through an NG tube while receiving enteral f

15. A prospective, randomized trial of early enteral feeding after resection of upper gastrointestinal malignancy.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to determine whether early postoperative enteral feeding with an immune-enhancing formula (IEF) decreases morbidity, mortality, and length of hospital stay in patients with upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancer. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Early enteral feeding with an IEF has been associated with improved outcome in trauma

16. Ciprofloxacin absorption is impaired in patients given enteral feedings orally and via gastrostomy and jejunostomy tubes.
Twenty-six hospitalized patients participated in a randomized crossover study to evaluate the effect of enteral feedings on ciprofloxacin absorption when given orally or via gastrostomy or jejunostomy tubes. Patients in the oral group received an intact 500-mg ciprofloxacin tablet alone or ciprofloxacin plus three oral doses of Sustacal (240 ml given 8 h bef

17. Enteral nutrition during multimodality therapy in upper gastrointestinal cancer patients.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate long-term enteral nutrition support in postoperative cancer patients. BACKGROUND: Multimodality therapy for surgical patients with upper gastrointestinal malignancies may improve survival, but often results in substantial malnutrition, immunosuppression, and morbidity. The benefits of combined inpatient

18. Surgical jejunostomy in aspiration risk patients.
One hundred patients underwent laparotomy for independent jejunal feeding tube placement. Neurologic disease was present in 50%, and obtundation (28) and oropharyngeal dysmotility (25) were the most common indications for enteral feeding. The post-pyloric route was chosen because of aspiration risk in almost all (94%) patients. Postoperative (30-day) mortali

19. Tube gastrostomy. Techniques and complications.
For prolonged gastrointestinal decompression or enteral nutrition, gastrostomies are preferable to nasogastric tubes. To assess the safety of tube gastrostomy, the authors reviewed 424 gastrostomies systematically selected from a total of 3,359 done from 1975 through 1980. Feeding gastrostomies composed 22% of the total; the remaining 78% were done for decom

20. Early enteral feeding in postsurgical cancer patients. Fish oil structured lipid-based polymeric formula versus a standard polymeric formula.
OBJECTIVES: The authors compared the safety, gastrointestinal tolerance, and clinical efficacy of feeding an enteral diet containing a fish oil/medium-chain triglyceride structured lipid (FOSL-HN) versus an isonitrogenous, isocaloric formula (O-HN) in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery for upper gastrointestinal malignancies.

21. Nutrition in neurologically impaired children
Malnutrition, either under- or overnutrition, is a common condition among neurologically impaired children. Energy needs are difficult to define in this heterogeneous population, and there is a lack of information on what normal growth should be in these children. Non-nutritional factors may influence growth, but nutritional factors such as insufficient calo
