METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO ESTIMATE NUTRITIONAL NEEDS OF HUMAN AND OTHER PATIENTS AND TO SUPPORT SUCH NUTRITIONAL NEEDS

摘要

Describes systems, techniques, and methods for estimating metabolic conditions or metabolic flows such as body energy state (BES) of a patient. BES provides a deep insight into the patient's nutritional needs, enabling sophisticated blood glucose control of the patient. The present invention provides a system and method for estimating fractional gluconeogenesis. The present invention also provides a system and method for estimating the lactate concentration in the blood of a patient and aiming at a method and a method for estimating the lactate concentration in the patient, . Nutritional supplementation methods and formulations are also presented in the present invention. The present invention is suitable for any type of patient suffering from injuries such as traumatic brain injury, poor health, or any other problem with the metabolic system.
