What are the differences between total parenteral nutrition and peripheral parenteral nutriton?
TOTAL parenteral nutrition (TPN) provides 100% of the body's nutrient requirements when the patient is unable to tolerate, absorb or accumulate sufficient nutrients by mouth or an enteral route. PARTIAL parenteral nutrition (PPN) provides SOME of the body's nutrient requirements and is an adjunct to other nutrition. TPN must be administered by a central IV route, whereas PPN may be administered by either a central or peripheral IV route.
What are large volume parenteral products?
Large volume parenteral products are packed in containers larger than 100mL. Large volume parenteral products are made of sterile aqueous solutions/emulsions in water. They are particles and pyrogen-free. Some common types of large volume parenteral products include TPN solutions, antibiotics, and infusion fluids.

Which egg has more nutrition a chicken egg or platypus egg?
People don't really eat platypus eggs- so maybe chickens eggs have more nutrition? Also platypus eggs are only about the size of a grape so a chicken egg would probably have more nutrition because it is larger.

Total parenteral nutrition - infants?
Alternative NamesIV fluids - infants; TPN - infants; Intravenous fluids - infants; Hyperalimentation - infantsInformationTotal parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a method of feeding that bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. Fluids are given into a vein to provide most of the necessary nutrients the body needs. The method is used when a person cannot or should not receive feedings or fluids by mouth.Sick or premature newborns may be given TPN before starting other feedings or when they cannot absorb nutrients through the gastrointestinal tract for a long time. TPN delivers a mixture of fluid, electrolytes, calories, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and often fats into an infant's vein. TPN can be lifesaving for very small or very sick babies. It can provide a better level of nutrition than regular intravenous. TPN can provide a better level of nutrition than regular intravenous (IV) feedings, which provide only sugars and salts.The infants requirements for nutrition must be closely monitored. Blood and urine tests help can alert the doctor if any adjustments are needed.HOW IS TPN GIVEN?An IV line is often placed into a vein in the hand, foot, or scalp of the baby. The belly button also has a large vein (umbilical vein) that may be used. Sometimes a longer IV, called a central line or peripherally-inserted central catheter (PICC) line, is used to provide long-term IV feedings. This type of IV can deliver nutrients of higher concentration to larger veins located centrally in a baby's body.WHAT ARE THE RISKS?While TPN is a major benefit for babies who cannot otherwise feed, such feedings can result in blood sugars, fats, or electrolytes that are too low or too high.Problems can develop due to use of the TPN or IV lines. The line may become dislodged or clots may form. A serious infection called sepsis is a possible complication of a central line IV. Infants who receive TPN should be closely monitored by the health care team, since complications can be serious and are not unusual.Prolonged use of TPN may lead to liver problems.ReferencesAmerican Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition - Professional Association.

What can cause a peripheral artery disease?
One of the major causes of peripheral arterial disease in the developed world is diabetes mellitus. This condition, if blood glucose levels are not well controlled, is associated with peripheral arterial disease which characteristically effects the kidneys and the retina of the eye. Damage to the micro-circulation occurs as well as disease of the larger vessels. Such processes lead to damage of the peripheral nerves, leading to anaesthesia (total numbness).Elevated serum levels of LDL-Cholesterol are also associated with damage to the peripheral arteries. Other causes include tobacco smoking.One of the most important causes of Peripheral Artery Disease is said to be Atherosclerosis which mainly occurs when the fatty deposits build up in the walls of your artery and as a result could reduce the blood flow in the body. The least common cause of Peripheral Artery Disease is said to be blood clotting in the arteries, injury to the limbs.
