Influence of different intravenous lipid emulsions on fatty acid status and laboratory and clinical outcomes in adult patients receiving home parenteral nutrition: a systematic review
No full textBackground & aims: Patients who have chronic intestinal failure require home parenteral nutrition (HPN) support. Intravenous lipid emulsions (IVLEs) are a vital part of HPN. The conventional IVLE is based on pure soybean oil, which contains a high concentration of omega-6 fatty acids. Alternative IVLEs are commercially available. These contain various oil blends and have different fatty acid compositions from soybean oil that could provide benefit to patients on HPN. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the effects of different IVLEs in adult patients requiring HPN.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted up to October 2019 using relevant search terms in the Medline, EMBASE and CINAHL databases. Only randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in adults on HPN that compared two or more IVLEs were included. Data were extracted and the Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias was used.
Results: Six articles were identified for inclusion in this systematic review. Studies differed according to sample size, duration and the IVLEs compared. Four studies found no increased risk of adverse effects related to the different IVLEs, whilst one study found a higher frequency of serious adverse events with soybean oil. One study found higher serum α-tocopherol with the blend of soybean oil, medium chain triglycerides, olive oil and fish oil. Inflammatory markers were not affected by different IVLEs in three studies. Differences in liver function tests were minimal, but one study found slight abnormalities in patients receiving soybean oil. IVLEs containing olive oil or fish oil modified the blood fatty acid profile. No studies reported essential fatty acid deficiency.
Conclusions: There may be benefits of using alternative IVLEs to soybean oil-based emulsions in adults requiring HPN, although there is currently insufficient evidence to determine superiority of one formulation over another. More and larger RCTs are required in this area

Samir Amin : intellectuel organique au service de l'emancipation du sud
No full textThis book on Professor Samir Amin retraces his family origins, intellectual itinerary, political struggles as well as his experience in economic policy formulation in Egypt, Mali and many other countries. The fundamentals which shaped Samir Amin's thinking, directed his life-long work and influenced his action spawned from his early discovery in high school of Marxism and Historical Materialism, used as a scientific analysis of the history of human societies. This book also highlights Samir Amin's invaluable contribution to the struggle against capitalism through his indefatigable fight to deconstruct the concepts that are used to disguise the true face of historical capitalism, which is nothing but an unabashed pursuit for accumulation and dispossession of dominated countries and peoples. Through a series of interviews with Samir Amin, the author unravels the poignant and great ideas which have been at the heart of his intellectual and political fight for the last half century. The author also provides a selection of texts which includes an exhaustive bibliography, with all published writings of Samir Amin in French. This rich work is meant for a large readership - students, researchers, teachers, political leaders and citizens who are interested in the phenomenon of globalisation and its impact on the so-called 'under-developed countries
The Institutional Structure of Non-Alignment: An Evaluation of its Successes and Failures
No full textWith the thaw of the cold war and the emergence of detente between the superpowers, it was widely argued that the policy of non-alignment had almost lost its relevance. Behind this belief was the assumption that non-alignment was the outcome of the cold war. However, non alignment did not go into oblivion as predicted by the cold war theory. On the contrary, the Movement was able to adapt itself to the new international conditions of the 1970\u27s and to reemerge bigorously as a major political force in the 1980\u27s. The papers published in this volume tackle these questions from various perspectives. The first two, written by two Indian scholars, provide us with a macroscopic viewpoint of the present international system and its impact on the primary orientations of the Non-Aligned Movement. The papers of Dr. Haroub Othman and Dr. Samir Ahmed review the political and organizational evolution of the Movement. Dr. Galal\u27s and Dr. Singh\u27s papers attempt to describe the security challenges of the Non-Aligned Move cent in the 1980\u27 s and the feasibility of formulating a Non-Aligned Security Doctrine. The next two contributions discuss the political economy of non-alignment. Dr. Selim\u27s paper reviews the emergence of the economic paradigm of non-aligned countries -- the evolution of the Movement of Non-Alignment as to form the main economic pressure group for Third World countries during the 1970\u27s and the basic obstacles which arc likely to influence the economic role of the Movement in Dr Bashai discusses the role of the Movement in North-South the negotiations and the fostering of South-South cooperation. In his second contribution to chis volume, Dr. Samir Ahmed discusses the particular nature of Africa\u27s non-alignment and the basic challenges which confront the continent its endeavor to preserve its non-aligned international status. Finally, Dr. Tadic and Dr. Farajallah succinctly tackle the difficult task of attempting co-identify the general global and structural problems which confront the Nonaligned Movement in the 1980\u27s and the prospects for the future.https://fount.aucegypt.edu/faculty_book_chapters/1881/thumbnail.jp
