Effect of some fatty acid methyl esters on gastrointestinal carcinogenesis by N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine in rats.

Methyl linoleate hydroperoxide (MLHP) and native methyl linoleate (ML) were tested for carcinogenicity toward the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in male specific-pathogen-free outbred Wistar rats. N-Methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) was given in the drinking water in a dose of 20 mg/liter when cocarcinogenic properties of the test substances were to be tested. MLHP and ML were fed by stomach tube and had no effect as complete carcinogens. Given concomitantly with MNNG, ML did not enhance carcinogenesis. MLHP in conjunction with MNNG was the only treatment which, as treatment with MNNG in a dose of 83 mg/liter, led to an increase of GI cancers in animals that died before day 354. Cumulative results after a maximum of 612 days showed a distribution of GI cancers in favor of the glandular stomach only after MLHP was given with MNNG.

Clinical review: non-antibiotic strategies for preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Prevention of nosocomial pneumonia (NP) is the most important step towards reducing hospitalisation costs. The non-antibiotic prevention strategies include measures related to the correct care of the artificial airway, strategies related directly to the maintenance of the mechanical ventilator and the equipment, strategies focused in the gastrointestinal tract, and strategies related to the position of the intubated patients. While simple methods should be part of routine practice, the use of more invasive and expensive preventive measures should be used only in patients who are at high risk of NP. The appropriate use of these techniques can reduce the incidence of NP in intensive care unit patients.
