Thus, to confirm the present findings and further examine EN effects on glycemic variability and mortality, we recommend comparing the latest-generation diabetes-specific formula with a standard formula in a multicenter, double-blind trial in a large patient sample.
The aim of our study was to compare, in mechanically ventilated ICU patients with hyperglycemia, the use of three EN formulas: a standard EN formula, a widely used diabetes-specific formula and a new-generation diabetes-specific formula.
Agosti et al. [ 6] conducted a multicenter, randomized controlled trial on 121 very low-birth weight infants, randomized at term-corrected age to receive either a preterm formula or a standard term formula up until 55 weeks of corrected age.
The control formula was a standard, commercially available whey-based infant formula (NAN 1, Nestlé Nutrition, Nestec Ltd., Vevey, Switzerland).
The present study was part of a larger study on the nutritional and metabolic effects of increased protein and energy intakes using a protein and energy enriched formula (PE-formula) compared with a standard infant formula (S-formula).
Formula-fed infants were randomly assigned to receive either (1) formula with high beta-palmitate (HBP, n = 21) or (2) regular formula with a standard vegetable oil mix (LBP, n = 21).
Representing the replacement of one element in a compound by another in the laboratory by the replacement of one symbol by another in a chemical formula became a standard and productive device that was to eventually yield the concept of valency in the 1860s.
The one exception to the formula allows a standard five-axle semi-truck configuration to weigh the maximum legal gross weight.
Their proposed GFR prediction model had at least 10% better accuracy than any of the individual regression formulae or a standard neural network model.
