The role of the nutritional support team in preventing and identifying complications of parenteral and enteral nutrition.

As the technology of parenteral and enteral nutrition advances, a multidisciplinary nutritional support team (NST) can be used to assure quality care. NST functions include developing and using standard protocols and solutions, monitoring patients, and preventing complications. Interventions by NSTs can save money for the hospital as well. Examples from Truman Medical Center (Kansas City, Missouri) illustrate how the NST can perform these functions.

Workforce Policies and their Influence on School-Based Oral Health Programs: A synthesis of four case studies.

Purpose: Childhood caries disproportionately effects children who are poor, live in low-income rural and urban areas, and come from racial and ethnic minority groups. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of public policy related to dental hygienists' level of supervision and policy uptake at the state level on the organization, delivery, and financing of school-based oral health programs (SBOHP).Methods: A multiple case study methodology was used to compare SBOHPs in the states of Missouri and Kansas. Interviews were conducted with an administrator, dental hygienist, and dentist…

Objective Measures of Physical Activity in Rural Communities: Factors Associated With a Valid Wear and Lessons Learned.

BACKGROUND: Compared with urban/suburban counterparts, rural communities experience lower rates of physical activity (PA) and higher rates of chronic disease. Promoting PA is important for disease prevention but requires reliable and valid measurement of PA. However, little is known about effectively collecting objective PA data in rural communities. Using data from a cluster randomized trial (Heartland Moves), which aims to increase PA in rural Missouri, this study explored factors associated with successful objective PA data collection and presents lessons learned. METHODS: Baseline survey …

A series of unusual complications of the presternal peritoneal dialysis catheter.

An ongoing problem for peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients has been complications associated with an indwelling PD catheter. The indwelling catheter has been through many modifications aimed at reducing complications and providing effective delivery of dialysis solution. In this report, we review four cases of rare complications associated with presternal PD catheters and a brief review of the Tenckhoff, Toronto Western Hospital, and Missouri swan-neck abdominal and presternal PD catheters.

Trends in Sexually Transmitted Infections.

Sexually transmitted infections have increased dramatically in the past 10 years. Rates are higher in Missouri than nationally, and higher in the large urban areas, in young adults, racial minority groups, among men having sex with men, and are associated with injection drug and methamphetamine use. Clinicians need to perform an appropriate sexual history and follow guidelines for screening and treatment. There is increasing concern for resistance among gonococcal isolates which limits future treatment options.

Bacterial flora of semen collected from Danish warmblood stallions by artificial vagina.

Semen samples were collected from 21 Danish Warmblood stallions by the Colorado artificial vagina (Colorado AV, 14 samples) or by the Missouri artificial vagina (Missouri AV, 7 samples). The semen was examined bacteriologically by direct plating (DP) on blood agar plates, and by plating of semen swabs stored in Stuart's transport media (TM) at 4 degrees C for 1-4 days. No significant differences were observed between results obtained by DP and cultures of identical TM samples. Of the 21 samples examined, only 1 TM (4.8%) and 2 DP samples (9.5%) were sterile, while the rest yielded a predominan…

Prostate cancer diagnosis.

Prostate cancer is the fourth most common malignancy diagnosed in Missouri. The diagnosis may be clinically suspected based on an elevated serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) and/or digital rectal examination abnormality. Clinical symptoms are usually a manifestation of more advanced disease. The diagnosis is typically established by histopathologic examination of needle biopsy tissue. This article reviews clinical and pathological approaches to prostate cancer diagnosis, with a focus on clinically localized disease and needle biopsy diagnosis.

Iowa stream nitrate and the Gulf of Mexico.

The main objective of this work was to quantify and update the U.S. Midwest agricultural state of Iowa's contribution of nitrate-nitrogen to the Mississippi River stream network against the backdrop of the ongoing problem of Gulf of Mexico hypoxia. To achieve this objective, we used stream nitrate and discharge data collected from 1999 until 2016 at 23 Iowa stream sites near watershed outlets, along with publicly-available data for sites downstream of Iowa on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Our analysis shows that Iowa contributes between 11 and 52% of the long-term nitrate load to the Mi…

Childhood lead exposure and sexually transmitted infections: New evidence.

INTRODUCTION: The adverse health effects of lead exposure in children are well documented and include intellectual and behavioral maladies. Childhood lead exposure has also been linked to impulsive behaviors, which, in turn, are associated with a host of negative health outcomes including an increased risk for sexually transmitted infections (STI). The purpose of this study was to assess the association of lead exposure with STI rates across census tracts in St. Louis City, Missouri. METHODS: Incident cases of gonorrhea and chlamydia (GC) during 2011 were identified from the Missouri Departme…

Angiosarcoma, porphyria cutanea tarda, and probable chloracne in a worker exposed to waste oil contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

A worker developed angiosarcoma, porphyria cutanea tarda, and skin lesions characteristic of mild chloracne. About 10 years earlier he had been employed at a truck terminal in Saint Louis, Missouri, at a time when it was sprayed with waste oil contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). The occurrence of these three rare conditions in a single exposed worker supports the aetiological relation between environmental exposure to TCDD and the subsequent development of soft tissue sarcoma and porphyria cutanea tarda.
