OBJECTIVE: The authors set out to determine whether immediate enteral feeding minimizes early postoperative decreases in handgrip and respiratory muscle strength. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Muscle...
Impaired recovery of strength in older patients after major abdominal surgery.
Watters, J M, Clancey, S M, Moulton, S B, Briere, K M, Zhu, J M
OBJECTIVE: This study compared changes in muscle strength after major elective abdominal surgery in young and old patients, and related these changes to body composition and nitrogen balance. SUMMARY...
Combined hormonal infusion simulates the metabolic response to injury.
Bessey, P Q, Watters, J M, Aoki, T T, Wilmore, D W
To investigate the role of hormones as mediators of the metabolic response to injury, nine normal male volunteers received a continuous 74-hour infusion of the three 'stress' hormones: cortisol,...
Effects of age and body composition on the metabolic responses to elective colon resection.
Watters, J M, Redmond, M L, Desai, D, March, R J
Advancing age tends to be accompanied by predictable changes in organ-system function and body composition, as well as an increased prevalence of various diseases. Our knowledge of the metabolic...
