RESUMO

The discovery of botulinum toxin A (BTX)'s therapeutic properties has led to studies evaluating its usefulness in multiple medical disorders. Its use in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract has been studied for 30 years. Multiple databases, including PubMed, AccessMedicine, ClinicalKey, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Medline, were used to review research from case series to randomized controlled trials on BTX use in the GI tract. This article reviews the current literature on the efficacy of BTX and the strength of recommendations for or against its use in various disorders, including cricopharyngeal dysphagia, achalasia, nonachalasia motility disorders, gastroparesis, obesity, sphincter of Oddi disorders, chronic anal fissure, chronic idiopathic anal pain, and anismus. The appeal of BTX comes from its simplicity of administration, good safety profile, and reliability in decreasing muscular tone. However, there are several drawbacks that limit its use, including the lack of long-term efficacy and/or limited data in many GI disorders.

RESUMO

There are many misconceptions surrounding the diagnosing and treatment of malnutrition and around feeding people with enteral nutrition (EN). Often the decisions made by clinicians are made from anecdote or guidelines that may be out of date or supported by low-quality evidence. In this article, we will discuss different aspects of diagnosing malnutrition and delve deeper into the science and evidence behind certain recommendations. Our goal is to better equip the reader with the most current data-supported recommendation, such as indications, contraindications, complications of EN, tube and ostomy complications, types and use of specialized enteral formulas, and home management.

RESUMO

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a therapy to nourish patients who cannot tolerate feeding via the gut. Though a life-saving intervention, it does have risks associated. In this article, we aim to dispel myths associated with PN. Practitioners who manage critically ill patients or patients with intestinal failure should be equipped with evidence-based knowledge of PN including the indications, contraindications, feasibility, complications, and long-term management of PN.
