Should pediatric parenteral nutrition be individualized?☆
INTRODUCTION Parenteral nutrition (PN) formulations are commonly individualized, since their standardization seem inadequate for the pediatric population. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional state and the reasons for PN individualization in pediatric patients using PN hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Campinas, São Paulo. METHODS This longitudinal study comprised patients using ...
متن کاملDetermination of Methotrexate in Biological Fluids and a Parenteral Injection Using Terbium-Sensitized Method
A new sensitive, simple and rapid method for determination of methotrexate (MTX) was developed based on quenching effects of MTX on the fluorescence intensity of Tb3+-1,10-phenanthroline complex. The fluorescence intensity was measured with excitation wavelength of 300 nm and emission wavelength of 545 nm and the quenched fluorescence intensity is proportional to the concentration of MTX in Tris...
متن کاملUse of parenteral methotrexate significantly reduces the need for biological therapy.
SIR, We read with interest Bharadwaj et al.’s letter [1] demonstrating encouraging responses to parenteral MTX in a retrospective analysis of 32 patients with RA. We conducted a prospective study to investigate the effectiveness of parenteral MTX in a cohort of patients with RA [2] for whom oral MTX was ineffective or not tolerated. In addition, we assessed whether the change from oral to paren...

متن کاملTorsades de pointes: Should ECG be taken from all patients before surgery? A case report
Torsades de pointes is a rare but potentially lethal arrhythmia which mainly occurs in the setting of a prolonged QT interval. ECG is a reliable tool to detect such abnormalities, routinely taken from all patients over 40 who undergo surgery. We describe the case of a 35-year-old woman with torsades de points arrhythmia after hysterectomy surgery. Most likely, our patients had long QT syndro...
