Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyMarkers of inflammation and coagulation may be modulated by enteral feeding strategy.
Although enteral nutrition (EN) is provided to most mechanically ventilated patients, the effect of specific feeding strategies on circulating markers of coagulation and inflammation is unknown. ⋯ EN strategy in critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure does not significantly modify inflammation and coagulation by day 6, but trophic feeds may have some modest effects in attenuating inflammation and coagulation.

Randomized Controlled TrialHuman leukocyte death after a preoperative infusion of medium/long-chain triglyceride and fish oil parenteral emulsions: a randomized study in gastrointestinal cancer patients.
Parenteral lipid emulsions (LEs) can influence leukocyte functions. The authors investigated the effect of 2 LEs on leukocyte death in surgical patients with gastrointestinal cancer. ⋯ In patients with gastrointestinal cancer, preoperative MCT/LCT infusion was associated with postoperative lymphocyte and neutrophil apoptosis. FO has a protective effect on postoperative lymphocyte apoptosis.
