OBJECTIVE To compare measured resting energy expenditure to resting energy expenditure predicted from eight published prediction equations in a sample of patients with pancreatic cancer. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Ambulatory patients of a tertiary private hospital. PARTICIPANTS Eight patients with pancreatic cancer (5 males, 3 females; age: 62.0+/- 5.2 years; BMI: 24.4+/- 3.2 k...

Theories of nationalism emphasise its standardising effects. Ernest Gellner compared the pre-nationalist world to a painting by Kokoschka (a colour extravaganza) and as one Modigliani (calm, monochrome surfaces), while Benedict Anderson showed how standardisation language through medium printing was condition for shared national identities. In this article, homogenisation remains concern, but e...

Introduction. Aim of this study was to compare the resting energy expenditure (REE) measured by the Douglas bag method with the REE estimated with the FitMate method, the Harris-Benedict equation, and the Müller et al. equation for individuals with BMI < 18.5 kg/m(2) in a severe group of underweight patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). Methods. 15 subjects with AN participated in the study. The...

The painting with St. Thomas Becket, Stephen and Nicholas of Bari that decorates one the lunettes in so-called lower church at Sacro Speco Subiaco is an enigma from art-historical point view, for two reasons. First, on iconographical level, lunette interrupts flow story Benedict’s life unfolding systematically all walls church. Second, formal fresco clearly presents more archaic features than s...

The search for a theoretical peg on which to hang this paper led me, inevitably, to Homi Bhabha. Yet when I pulled out Nation and Narration in quest of an apt quote to use as an epigraph, the best I could come up with was actually a passage from Benedict Anderson, whom Bhabha himself quotes in his introduction. Anderson, through Bhabha, states: “What I am proposing is that Nationalism has to be...

BACKGROUND Accurate determination of caloric requirements is essential to avoid feeding-associated complications in critically ill patients. METHODS In critically ill cancer patients we compared the measured and estimated resting energy expenditures. All patients admitted to the oncology intensive care unit between March 2004 and July 2005 were considered for inclusion. For those patients enr...
