1.	Crohn Disease (Crohn's Disease) 09/01/1997 - "Enteral nutrition may now be recommended as the first-line treatment for most children with Crohn's disease. " 04/01/1996 - "CONCLUSION--After successful treatment of active Crohn's disease by exclusive enteral nutrition, supplementary enteral nutrition without restriction of normal diet is associated with prolongation of remission and improved linear growth in children and adolescents." 04/01/1996 - "PATIENTS AND METHODS--Children and adolescents with active Crohn's disease treated successfully with exclusive enteral nutrition were classified retrospectively according to whether they continued supplementary enteral nutrition or not. " 08/15/2009 - "CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with enteral nutrition and TWP in combination are superior to TWP alone for induction of clinical response and remission in adult Crohn's Disease. " 01/01/2007 - "AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: Corticosteroid therapy is more effective than enteral nutrition for inducing remission of active Crohn's disease as was found in previous systematic reviews.

2.	Pancreatitis 01/01/2006 - "CONTEXT: Current best evidence is in favour of early institution of enteral feeding in acute severe pancreatitis with promising results from trials in immunonutrition on other patient groups. " 01/01/2006 - "A randomized controlled trial of enteral versus parenteral feeding in patients with predicted severe acute pancreatitis shows a significant reduction in mortality and in infected pancreatic complications with total enteral nutrition." 12/01/2004 - "Enteral nutrition has no adverse effect compared with parenteral nutrition during the course of acute pancreatitis, and is probably beneficial in regard to outcome." 05/01/1998 - "Enteral nutrition is superior to parenteral nutrition in severe acute pancreatitis: results of a randomized prospective trial." 12/01/1997 - "Enteral nutrition is superior to parenteral nutrition in severe acute pancreatitis: results of a randomized prospective trial."

3.	Critical Illness (Critically Ill) 07/01/1998 - "CONCLUSION: While the administration of enteral IMN to a general, critically ill population did not affect mortality, those patients in whom it was possible to achieve early enteral nutrition with Impact had a significant reduction in the morbidity of their critical illness." 08/01/1995 - "Furthermore, there is increasing evidence, that enteral nutrition provides significant benefits to patients who are critically ill and after major gastrointestinal surgery. " 05/01/1994 - "We demonstrated the safety and efficacy of immediate enteral feeding in patients with major thermal injury, and have found this practice to be applicable to a wide variety of other critically ill patients. " 09/01/2009 - "A new concept of a therapeutic range of energy delivery in the critically ill has emerged implying the need for re-evaluation of energy recommendations and improved delivery of enteral nutrition. " 06/01/2008 - "CONCLUSION: The dual stylet method can be used effectively and safely in critically ill patients as a bedside measure after placement of the spiral distal end nasal-enteral feeding tubes."

4.	Dementia (Dementias) 05/01/2009 - "OBJECTIVES: Despite the evidence that feeding-tube use in persons with advanced dementia is not associated with improved outcomes, there remains striking variation in their use. " 01/01/2009 - "AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: Despite the very large number of patients receiving this intervention, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that enteral tube feeding is beneficial in patients with advanced dementia. " 08/01/2009 - "CONCLUSIONS: There is insufficient evidence to suggest that enteral tube feeding is beneficial in people with advanced dementia. " 01/01/2009 - "Percutaneous gastrostomy feeding tube (PG) may be beneficial in some patients, in others such as advanced dementia or rapidly progressive diseases its value is being questioned. " 02/01/2007 - "Knowledge related to the lack of the effect of tube feeding on survival in NH residents with end-stage dementia was the only knowledge item that improved significantly with the intervention (39% correct pre-intervention and 68% correct post-intervention, P = .04).

Infection 09/01/2000 - "CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that early enteral nutrition after hepatectomy is helpful for preventing septic complications, especially in patients at high risk of infection as evaluated with our new formula." 03/01/2000 - "CONCLUSIONS: Immune-enhancing enteral nutrition resulted in a significant reduction in the mortality rate and infection rate in septic patients admitted to the ICU. " 12/01/1994 - "Although enteral nutrition is frequently more difficult to administer, a growing body of laboratory and clinical research shows a significant reduction in the incidence of secondary infection with its use. " 09/01/2000 - "The review is organized into the following areas of emphasis: infections associated with enteral tube feeding, the stability and contamination of enteral tube feeding, the risk:benefit analysis of enteral tube feeding, and the protective effects of enteral tube feeding." 01/01/2003 - "Enteral feeding and immunonutrition improved postoperative course in reduction of hospital stay, incidence of postoperative complications especially infections.
