Observational study of GLIM standard and SGA in the diagnosis of severe malnutrition in neurosurgery patients / 肠外与肠内营养

Objective:To compare the application of GLIM and SGA in diagnosing malnutrition among severe neurosurgery patients.Methods:According to random sampling,42 patients admitted to the intensive care unit of Department of Neurotrauma in a Grade-A hospital in Guangzhou from January 2023 to April 2023 were screened.The nutritional status was assessed using GLIM standard and SGA scale,respectively.GLIM criteria and SGA scale were compared in the diagnosis of malnutrition.Results:The patients'NRS 2002 score was(3.90±1.10),and the positive rate of nutritional screening risk was 100％(42/42).13 patients were diagnosed as malnutrition by GLIM criteria,with a positive rate of 30.95％.29 cases were diagnosed as malnutrition by SGA,and the positive rate was 69.05％.The Kappa value of GLIM standard and SGA scale for malnutrition was 0.372,and the difference between the two nutritional status assessment tools was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Patients receiving neurocritical surgery had high nutritional risk and had a low incidence of malnutrition under GLIM criteria,while a high incidence of malnutrition under SGA criteria.Moreover,the results of GLIM criteria and SGA were not consistent in the assessment of malnutrition.

Primary malignant airway neoplasms in 4 children / 中华儿科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Primary airway neoplasms are extremely rare in the pediatric age group. This paper reports 4 children with primary airway neoplasms to explore the clinical manifestations, safety and efficacy of bronchoscopic interventions.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The data of pathology, photographic documentation and imaging studies were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Of the 4 reported lesions, 2 were characterized by low-grade (2 with mucoepidermoid carcinoma) and 2 by high grade malignant (spindle cell carcinoma and malignant lymphoma). Onset of clinical manifestations occurred at the ages of 7 months to 7 years. All of them were initially misdiagnosed as bronchitis, asthma or atelectasis. The lesions located in trachea in 2 patients, in left bronchus of 1 patient and in right middle bronchus of 1 case. Atelectases occurred in bilateral bronchus where the lesions obstructed almost the entire lumen at the time of diagnosis. The diagnosis of airway masses depends upon maintaining a high index of suspicion, complemented by imaging and timely diagnostic endoscopy. The lesions were completely removed in 3/4 patients except 1 died during bronchoscopic procedures.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The children with malignant airway neoplasms were presented with cough and wheezing without specific manifestations. Bronchoscopic interventions were effective in the treatment of non-operative cases. General anesthesia is strongly recommended for interventional bronchoscopy.</p>
