  • Trace element removal during in vitro and in vivo continuous haemodialysis 
    Btaiche, Imad F.; Churchwell, Mariann D.; Pasko, Deborah A.; Jain, Jinesh C.; Mueller, Bruce A. (2016-10-06)
    Background. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) increasingly is being used to treat critically ill patients with renal disease. CRRT removes waste products but also nutrients. Our understanding of trace element ...
  • Effects of lipid administration on liver apoptotic signals in a mouse model of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) 
    Btaiche, Imad; Tazuke, Yuko; Drongowski, Robert A.; Coran, Arnold G.; Teitelbaum, Daniel H. (2016-10-06)
    Lipids are an important component of total parenteral nutrition (TPN), contributing the largest caloric load per volume of solution and providing essential fatty acids necessary for survival. However, lipids are known to ...
  • Critical Illness, Gastrointestinal Complications, and Medication Therapy during Enteral Feeding in Critically Ill Adult Patients 
    Btaiche, Imad F.; Chan, Lingtak-Neander; Pleva, Melissa; Kraft, Micheal D. (2016-10-06)
    Critically ill patients who are subjected to high stress or with severe injury can rapidly break down their body protein and energy stores. Unless adequate nutrition is provided, malnutrition and protein wasting may occur, ...
  • Amino Acid Requirements in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Kidney Injury Treated with Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy 
    Btaiche, Imad F.; Mohammad, Rima A.; Alaniz, Cesar; Muller, Bruce A. (2016-10-06)
    Acute kidney injury in critically ill patients is often a complication of an underlying condition such as organ failure, sepsis, or drug therapy. In these patients, stress-induced hypercatabolism results in loss of body ...
  • Metabolic and nutritional aspects of acute renal failure in critically Ill patients requiring continuous renal replacement therapy 
    Wooley, Jennifer A.; Btaiche, Imad F.; Good, Kelley L. (2016-10-06)
    Acute renal failure (ARF) is rarely an isolated process but is often a complication of underlying conditions such as sepsis, trauma, and multiple-organ failure in critically ill patients. As such, concomitant clinical ...
  • Parenteral nutrition-associated liver complications in children 
    Btaiche, Imad F.; Khalidi, Nabil (2016-10-06)
    Parenteral nutrition is a life-saving therapy for patients with intestinal failure. It may be associated with transient elevations of liver enzyme concentrations, which return to normal after parenteral nutrition is ...
