Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding01:26

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

1.5K
Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

1.0K
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Classifying Matter by Composition

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures. 
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated. 
A mixture is composed of two or...

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route01:18

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route

1.8K
The enteral drug administration involves three primary routes: oral, sublingual, and buccal. Oral ingestion is the most prevalent, safe, economical, and convenient method for drug administration. However, it has certain drawbacks, including limited absorption due to the drug's low water solubility or poor membrane permeability, possible emesis from GI mucosa irritation, destruction of drugs by digestive enzymes or low gastric pH, and irregular absorption along with food or other drugs.

Composite Bodies00:55

Composite Bodies

1.4K
A composite body is a body made up of multiple parts, connected to form a larger, unified object. Each part has its own weight and center of gravity, which must be considered to determine the center of gravity of the composite body. In cases where the density or specific weight is constant, the center of gravity coincides with the centroid.
Composite bodies have widespread applications in mechanical engineering, from automobiles to aircraft to rockets. For example, an automobile wheel comprises...

Composition of Blood01:22

Composition of Blood

12.3K
The blood in our bodies comprises three major components: blood plasma, formed elements, and the extracellular matrix. Blood plasma is a yellowish fluid that constitutes 55% of the total blood volume. It is primarily made up of water and essential substances such as electrolytes and proteins. Blood plasma serves as a medium for transporting blood cells and also contains nutrients, enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and gases.
Formed elements constitute the remaining 45% of the blood volume. These...

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal nutrition
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pediatric critical care

Background:

  • Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe intestinal disease in premature infants.
  • The exact mechanisms underlying NEC remain incompletely understood despite extensive research.
  • Established evidence links mother's own milk and standardized feeding to reduced NEC risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of enteral feeding and composition in preventing and treating NEC.
  • To explore the impact of human milk-based diets on NEC incidence.
  • To examine the effects of specific human milk components on NEC.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on enteral feeding and NEC.
  • Analysis of research on mother's own milk, donor milk, and exclusive human milk diets.
  • Evaluation of studies investigating specific human milk components.

Main Results:

  • Mother's own milk and standardized feeding regimens are associated with decreased NEC risk.
  • Donor human milk and exclusive human milk diets are increasingly studied for NEC prevention.
  • Emerging literature highlights the influence of specific human milk components on NEC incidence.

Conclusions:

  • Enteral feeding strategies, particularly human milk-based options, are crucial for NEC prevention and management.
  • Further research into specific human milk components may offer novel therapeutic approaches for NEC.
  • Optimizing nutrition through tailored feeding regimens is key to reducing NEC in premature infants.
