Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of malnutrition in general medical patients.
TL;DR: Compared with a similar survey among surgical patients, the medical patients were more depleted calorically but had better protein status (arm-muscle circumference, serum albumin) than the non-medical patients, which is likely to be associated with diminished cell-mediated immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infection Control in Intravenous Therapy.
TL;DR: The intravenous infusion has become indispensable in modern medical therapy, but infection, especially infusion-associated septicemia, remains a life-threatening hazard.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved survival from acute renal failure after treatment with intravenous essential L-amino acids and glucose. Results of a prospective, double-blind study.
TL;DR: Analysis of indexes of renal function suggested more rapid recovery from acute renal failure in patients treated with renal-failure fluid, and survival differences were more apparent in higher-risk patients.

Plasma amino acids in patients with hepatic encephalopathy. Effects of amino acid infusions.
Josef E. Fischer,Norman N. Yoshimura,Alfonso Aguirre,J. H. James,M. G. Cummings,R.M. Aybel,F. Deindoerfer +6 more
TL;DR: Amino acid patterns in a group of patients with severe liver disease and hepatic encephalopathy were studied when patients were taking protein restricted diets per os and being infused with two solutions used for total parenteral nutrition as discussed by the authors.

Paresthesias, Weakness, Seizures, and Hypophosphatemia in Patients Receiving Hyperalimentation
TL;DR: One patient died in coma and observation of patients with severe chronic weight loss for weakness, paresthesias, or lowered serum inorganic phosphorus may be of value in early detection of this problem.
