This study tested whether adding omega-3 fatty acids to intravenous (IV) nutrition could reduce oxidative stress in 20 adults with intestinal failure, a condition where the gut cannot absorb enough nutrients. Participants received either standard IV nutrition or IV nutrition with…

This study tested whether ultrasound can accurately locate epidural catheters in 66 adults undergoing open abdominal surgery. Participants had their catheter placement checked with both ultrasound and epidurography (an X-ray method). The goal was to see if ultrasound could serve …
