The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition02:11

The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition

47.1K
Plants have the impressive ability to create their own food through photosynthesis. However, plants often require assistance from organisms in the soil to acquire the nutrients they need to function correctly. Both bacteria and fungi have evolved symbiotic relationships with plants that help the species to thrive in a wide variety of environments.

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

813
Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Organisms exhibit remarkable metabolic diversity, categorized based on how they acquire energy and carbon. These strategies enable survival in various ecological niches and are essential for maintaining energy flow and nutrient cycling within ecosystems.Energy and Carbon SourcesOrganisms are classified as phototrophs or chemotrophs based on energy acquisition. Phototrophs use light as their energy source, while chemotrophs rely on oxidizing chemical compounds. Further differentiation arises...

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

24.0K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

1.3K
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

893
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.
Nasointestinal Feeding
Nasointestinal feeding involves placing a tube...

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Clinical Nutrition
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Cirrhosis frequently leads to malnutrition, affecting liver function and patient prognosis.
  • Metabolic alterations in cirrhosis exacerbate nutritional challenges.
  • Malnutrition in chronic liver disease is often under-recognized but significantly impacts morbidity and mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the prevalence of malnutrition in cirrhosis.
  • To discuss liver metabolic functions and their alterations in cirrhosis.
  • To examine malnutrition screening tools and nutrient deficiencies in chronic liver disease.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of prevalence, metabolic alterations, screening tools, and nutrient deficiencies.
  • Analysis of impact on morbidity and mortality in chronic liver disease.

Main Results:

  • Malnutrition is highly prevalent in chronic liver disease and negatively affects patient outcomes.
  • International guidelines recommend screening and nutrition interventions for all patients.
  • Early identification of high-risk patients through validated tools is crucial.

Conclusions:

  • Routine malnutrition screening is essential for patients with chronic liver disease.
  • Implementing nutrition and exercise interventions can improve outcomes.
  • Addressing nutrient deficiencies is key to managing chronic liver disease complications.
