Meat supplies high-quality protein and various nutrients, some of which are not always easily ...

INTRODUCTION: Non-thyroidal illness (NTI), which occurs with fasting and in response to illness, is characterized by thyroid hormone inactivation with low triiodothyronine (T3) and high reverse T3 (rT3), followed by suppressed thyrotropin (TSH). Withholding supplemental parenteral nutrition early in pediatric critical illness (late-PN), thus accepting low/no macronutrient intake up to day 8 in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), ...
