TLDR
Nutritional support of patients with spinal cord injuries is recommended and energy expenditure is best determined by indirect calorimetry in these patients because equation estimates of energy expenditure and subsequent caloric need tend to be inaccurate.Abstract:
Standards There is insufficient evidence to support treatment standards. Guidelines There is insufficient evidence to support treatment guidelines. Options Nutritional support of patients with spinal cord injuries is recommended. Energy expenditure is best determined by indirect calorimetry in these patients because equation estimates of energy expenditure and subsequent caloric need tend to be inaccurate.read more

Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary restriction started after spinal cord injury improves functional recovery.
TL;DR: It is reported that "every-other-day fasting" (EODF), a form of dietary restriction, implemented after rat cervical spinal cord injury was neuroprotective, promoted plasticity, and improved behavioral recovery.

Ketogenic diet improves forelimb motor function after spinal cord injury in rodents.

TL;DR: Post-injury KD effectively promotes functional recovery and is neuroprotective after cervical SCI and the data suggest that current clinical nutritional guidelines, which include relatively high carbohydrate contents, should be revisited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy expenditure and protein requirements after traumatic injury
TL;DR: In this paper, the degree of hypermetabolism can be variable, depending on the type of injury, degree of inflammation, body composition, age, and treatment regimens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of acute spinal cord injury.
Deborah M. Stein,Kevin N. Sheth +1 more
TL;DR: Effective management of acute spinal cord injury requires a team skilled in the approach to short- and long-term respiratory management as well as vigilance for common secondary complications including systemic thrombosis, infection, and pain syndromes.

Journal Article
The pilot study.
TL;DR: A randomized controlled experiment is designed to test whether access to affordable day care (in the form of subsidies, for example) would incentivize Saudi mothers to search actively for employment and to remain employed once they are hired.

The favorable effect of early parenteral feeding on survival in head-injured patients
Robert P. Rapp,Byron Young,Diana Twyman,Brack A. Bivins,Dennis Haack,Phillip A. Tibbs,James R. Bean +6 more
TL;DR: The data from this study strongly support the favorable effect of early TPN on survival from head injury, and the basis for the improved survival in the TPN patients appears to be improved nutrition.

The effect of nutritional support on outcome from severe head injury

TL;DR: More calories and protein usually can be administered to acute brain injury patients via the TPN route than by EN feedings via nasogastric or nasoduodenal routes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Benefits of Early Jejunal Hyperalimentation in the Head-Injured Patient
TL;DR: Head-injured patients will tolerate early jejunal hyperalimentation despite the presence of a clinically silent abdomen, and the cost and complications of total parenteral nutrition are avoided.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that stable, rehabilitating spinally injured patients require 23.4 kcal/kg/day, which represents only 45 to 90% of the recommended calories for maintenance as calculated by any of these recognized formulae, based on normal heights, weights, age, and sex, when using either current weight or ideal body weight.
