Sepsis from TPN is a very real problem. Septicaemia is frequent and can be fatal. There would genuinely be a balanced argument about which was...
It is interesting that the RCP advice on feeding difficulties does not mention any such conditions beyond 'functional problems' which the text...
I get the strong impression that there is a pressure group based in the UK that wants to say that to get TPN and maybe PEG you should have a...
Actually they don't and it isn't in UK hospitals in this century. A member of my family who had a stroke had to listen all night to nurses ten...
Yes, I see your point now. And it is very important - the need is to get across to those who think they know the answers the fact that the...
I don't follow the question quite. What I am saying is that health professionals need to face up to the intolerability being undeniable and...
Thanks @Trish People here with experience are chipping in at appropriate points and that is helping me to get a broader idea. I may put together...

I agree. I don't see PEM as a physiological concept. It is about a temporal pattern of symptoms. I doubt Ramsay's observation of fatiguability has...
The neuroimaging discussion just indicates that the authors do not know how to assess pathological findings in this sort of context. With...
It looks from that study that there some changes but nothing major. If you stop using your hands the skin gets thinner by more than that I suspect...
Yes but FND treatment very likely doesn't work for FND. So it is not a discriminatory test.
I appreciate your efforts Andy. There is something about the way this one ca.e up on the link that looked worrying. I shut it so didn't discover...
So he is a trainee who has been asked by a commercial outfiit, that trawls for peoples names to SPAM, to write a review - or just wants to appear...
