ASPEN Podcasts

This podcast discusses an abstract presented at ASPEN21 looking at the risk of refeeding syndrome in home start PN patients using the ASPEN Refeeding Consensus Recommendations (NCP 2020, Vol 35, Issue 2, pp. 178-195). With the identification of 94% of the home start PN population at risk of refeeding syndrome, the authors discuss how they implemented the consensus recommendations across their home PN patients, going beyond the home start PN population.

This Spotlight honors Jack Pasquale, MD, FASPEN, medical director of clinical nutrition services at NY Presbyterian Queens and Fresh Meadows Queens, and Associate professor at St. George’s University of Medicine. He also has a private practice. After taking two nutrition electives — one taught by Dr. Maurice Shils, the other by Drs. Bruce Bistrian and George Blackburn — Dr Pasquale’s interest in nutrition was sealed. He had a nutrition fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania where he met Drs. Stanley Dudrick and Jonathon Rhoads. He says he knows more about medicine through nutrition because nutrition does not have an organ; it’s nutrition and the heart, nutrition and the brain, etc. Dr. Pasquale shares his thoughts on how the field of nutrition has changed and how ASPEN helps him keep up with the changes.

This podcast discusses a retrospective study that evaluated the role that a multidisciplinary Nutrition Support Team may have in reducing PN ordering errors and decreasing the number of days patients experience electrolyte abnormalities during the duration of PN therapy. The study authors conclude that when PN errors are appropriately identified and corrected, potential harm can be prevented from reaching the patient, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.

This podcast discusses two adult patient cases with mixed oil ILE refractory Intestinal Failure Associated Liver Disease (IFALD). IFALD which has been associated with soy-based ILE, has seen some improvement with the use of mixed oil ILEs. The 2 patients discussed in this podcast did not improve with mixed oil ILE but saw significant improvement of IFALD with the use of fish oil ILE. The use of fish oil ILE in adult PN patients, is off label, with very few cases reported in the literature.

This Spotlight honors Shirley Paski, MD, MS, FRCP(C), director of small bowel diseases and nutrition at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA. Dr. Paski, who completed her residency in Canada, shares some of the differences between Canadian and US healthcare. She has built nutrition programs with multidisciplinary teams at the VA hospital at the University of Washington and at Cedars-Sinai. Most of her current research projects are collaborative, related to short bowel syndrome. She strives to provide patients with comprehensive care and services. One of the challenges she faces in running an interdisciplinary nutrition support team is negotiating with administration regarding reimbursement.

This podcasts discusses a retrospective study looking at the impact of using Fish Oil (FO)-ILE on parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC).

All patients benefitted with a decrease in the direct bilirubin while on the FO-ILE. The podcast discusses the different patient cases and the authors interpretation of the impact of the FO-ILE.
