13. Citrobacter farmeri bacteremia in a child with short-bowel syndrome.
A case of sepsis in a pediatric patient due to the newly described Citrobacter species C. farmeri is described. Factors predisposing this child to infection included short-bowel syndrome requiring total parenteral nutrition.

14. Low-dose recombinant human growth hormone increases body weight and lean body mass in patients with short bowel syndrome.
OBJECTIVE: The authors investigate the effects of low dose recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on body composition and absorptive capacity in patients with short bowel syndrome from Crohn's disease. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Patients with short bowel syndrome usually are malnourished because of malabsorption. The anabolic effects of high doses of rhGH hav

15. Surgical approach to short-bowel syndrome. Experience in a population of 160 patients.
OBJECTIVE: The authors reviewed their experience with short-bowel syndrome to define the surgical approach to this problem in 160 patients. METHODS: Forty-eight adults and 112 children were evaluated over a 15-year period. RESULTS: Seventy-one patients (44%) adapted to resection and took enteral nutrition alone. Forty-four patients (28%) were supported by pa

17. A new treatment for patients with short-bowel syndrome. Growth hormone, glutamine, and a modified diet.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to initially determine if growth hormone or nutrients, given alone or together, could enhance absorption from the remnant small bowel after massive intestinal resection. If clinical improvement were observed, this therapy would then be used to treat patients with the short-bowel syndrome over the long term. SUMMARY BA

18. Incidence of catheter-associated gram-negative bacteremia in children with short bowel syndrome.
Children with catheter-associated bacteremia were evaluated for the type of bacteria recovered and the relationship of the bacteria to the predisposing disease. A previously unrecognized observation was that gram-negative isolates, namely, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella sp., were almost exclusively recovered (11 of 12 isolates [92%]) from children with shor

20. Surgical therapy for necrotizing enterocolitis.
Fifty-one infants were treated surgically for necrotizing enterocolitis utilizing a uniform protocol from July 1980 through July 1983. The indications for surgery were pneumoperitoneum or a paracentesis indicative of bowel infarction. Segmental intestinal resection and exteriorization of the bowel ends through the upper abdominal transverse incision was the

21. Anatomic and physiologic characteristics of transplanted fetal rat intestine.
Avascular segments of fetal rat intestine transplanted to the subcutaneous tissues of host syngeneic rats will become vascularized and grow. This study more fully characterizes this tissue, which we call "neogut," and compares it to normal rat small intestine. Anatomy was studied with light microscopy and scanning and transmission electron microscopy; transp

22. Dietary Sulfur Amino Acid Supplementation Reduces Small Bowel Thiol/Disulfide Redox State and Stimulates Ileal Mucosal Growth after Massive Small Bowel Resection in Rats12
Following massive small bowel resection in animal models, the remnant intestine undergoes a dynamic growth response termed intestinal adaptation. Cell growth and proliferation are intimately linked to cellular and extracellular thiol/disulfide redox states, as determined by glutathione (GSH) and GSH disulfide (GSSG) (the major cellular redox system in tissue

23. Factors predicting a successful outcome after pharmacologic bowel compensation.
OBJECTIVES: The authors determined those factors that predict a successful outcome in patients who receive pharmacologic agents to promote bowel absorption after massive intestinal resection. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Patients with the short bowel syndrome are maintained on long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN) or more frequently considered for intestina

24. Prevalence of Astroviruses in a Children’s Hospital
An enzyme immunoassay for astrovirus was used to screen 357 stool samples from 267 symptomatic inpatients at a tertiary-care children’s hospital. Thirty stool samples from 26 patients contained astrovirus antigen, while rotavirus was found in 34 samples and Clostridium difficile toxin was found in 40. Half of the astrovirus infections were nosocomial. Addi
