Chronic Hypothermia And Energy Expenditure In A Neurodevelopmentally Disabled Patient: A Case Study, Jane Gervasio, Roland Dickerson, Rex Brown, J. Matthews May 2014

Chronic Hypothermia And Energy Expenditure In A Neurodevelopmentally Disabled Patient: A Case Study, Jane Gervasio, Roland Dickerson, Rex Brown, J. Matthews

Jane M. Gervasio

Hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature of <35°C and results in a decrease in measured resting energy expenditure. A 51-year-old mentally disabled patient experienced chronic hypothermia from neurologic sequelae. Because of her continued weight gain and increased body fat in the presence of presumed hypocaloric nutrition, indirect calorimetry measurements were performed twice in a 3-month period. The resting energy expenditure measurements prompted a reduction of her daily caloric intake to prevent further overfeeding. Hypothermia reduces oxygen consumption and, as a consequence, decreases resting energy expenditure. In patients for whom chronic hypothermia is a problem, nutritional intake must be …


Anabolic Agents: Adjuncts To Nutrition Support, Jane Gervasio May 2014

Anabolic Agents: Adjuncts To Nutrition Support, Jane Gervasio

Jane M. Gervasio

Anabolic agents as adjuncts to nutrition support therapy have been used to improve malnutrition and establish anabolism. Growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor, and anabolic steroids have been studied for their potential to reverse the catabolic process and promote anabolism. This paper reviews several anabolic agents and their possible role in nutrition support therapy.
