BACKGROUND
To determine the extent and effects of increased metabolic demand represented by Pseudomonas colonization on body composition and resting energy expenditure in children with cystic fibrosis (CF).
METHODS
The study comprised 18 stable children with CF, of whom 10 (6 male/4 female) were
OBJECTIVE
To compare the changes in resting energy expenditure (REE) to concomitant changes in clinical status and pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients during treatment for acute pulmonary exacerbation. To determine if weight loss during exacerbation in CF is related to decreased
Basal energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry in 12 cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Values were compared to those observed in 12 cirrhotic patients without hepatocellular carcinoma but with similar nutrition status. Energy expenditure was also predicted in each
A 47-year-old male with morbid obesity and progressive pulmonary fibrosis was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with worsening hypoxia and nocturnal ventilator dependence. Due to a significant oxygen requirement, the patient could only safely remain in an acute care setting. Unfortunately,
