Abstract
Farber Disease is a debilitating and lethal childhood disease of ceramide accumulation caused by acid ceramidase deficiency. The potent induction of a ligand-gated neutral ceramidase activity promoted by adiponectin may provide sufficient lowering of ceramides to allow for the treatment of Farber Disease. In vitro, adiponectin or adiponectin receptor agonist treatments lowered total ceramide concentrations in human fibroblasts from a patient with Farber Disease. However, adiponectin overexpression in a Farber Disease mouse model did not improve lifespan or immune infiltration. Intriguingly, mice heterozygous for the Farber Disease mutation were more prone to glucose intolerance and insulin resistance when fed a high-fat diet, and adiponectin overexpression protected from these metabolic perturbations. These studies suggest that adiponectin evokes a ceramidase activity that is not reliant on the functional expression of acid ceramidase, but indicates that additional strategies are required to ameliorate outcomes of Farber Disease.

Abstract
We and others have previously shown that genetic association can be used to make causal connections between gene loci and small molecules measured by mass spectrometry in the bloodstream and in tissues. We identified a locus on mouse chromosome 7 where several phospholipids in liver showed strong genetic association to distinct gene loci. In this study, we integrated gene expression data with genetic association data to identify a single gene at the chromosome 7 locus as the driver of the phospholipid phenotypes. The gene encodes α/β-hydrolase domain 2 (Abhd2), one of 23 members of the ABHD gene family. We validated this observation by measuring lipids in a mouse with a whole-body deletion of Abhd2. The Abhd2KO mice had a significant increase in liver levels of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. Unexpectedly, we also found a decrease in two key mitochondrial lipids, cardiolipin and phosphatidylglycerol, in male Abhd2KO mice. These data suggest that Abhd2 plays a role in the synthesis, turnover, or remodeling of liver phospholipids.

Abstract
Diet influences onset, progression, and severity of several chronic diseases, including heart failure, diabetes, steatohepatitis, and a subset of cancers. The prevalence and clinical burden of these obesity-linked diseases has risen over the past two decades. These metabolic disorders are driven by ectopic lipid deposition in tissues not suited for fat storage, leading to lipotoxic disruption of cell function and survival. Sphingolipids such as ceramides are among the most deleterious and bioactive metabolites that accrue, as they participate in selective insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, oxidative stress and apoptosis. This review discusses our current understanding of biochemical pathways controlling ceramide synthesis, production and action; influences of diet on ceramide levels; application of circulating ceramides as clinical biomarkers of metabolic disease; and molecular mechanisms linking ceramides to altered metabolism and survival of cells. Development of nutritional or pharmacological strategies to lower ceramides could have therapeutic value in a wide range of prevalent diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cancer patients often experience poor sleep quality, typically induced by cancer-related treatments, a sedentary lifestyle, and psychological distress, leading to an increased risk of metabolic dysregulation such as obesity and insulin resistance. In this novel 16-week pilot study, we examined the effect of a circuit-based aerobic and resistance exercise intervention on self-reported sleep quality in breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer survivors and explored the association between changes in sleep quality and insulin resistance. METHODS Survivors of breast, prostate or colorectal cancers who were sedentary, overweight or obese (BMI>25.0 kg/m2) were randomized to exercise (n=60) or usual care (n=30). The 16-week intervention included supervised moderate-vigorous aerobic (65-85% of VO2max) and resistance (65-85% of 1-repetition maximum) exercise performed in a circuit, interval fashion three times per week. Patient-reported sleep quality and insulin resistance were assessed at baseline and post-intervention using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Homeostasis Model of Assessment (HOMA-IR), respectively. Mean changes in PSQI score that are negative demonstrate improvements in sleep. Between-group differences were determined using repeated-measures analysis of variance. Associations between changes in PSQI and insulin resistance were computed using Pearson correlations. RESULTS Participants were 63.2±10.8 years old, obese (87%), female (55%), and completed chemotherapy + radiation therapy (75%). Adherence to the intervention was 92% and the retention rate was 100%. Post-intervention, the PSQI global score improved significantly in the exercise group when compared to usual care (mean between-group difference, -2.7; 95% CI, -4.2 to -0.6). Change in PSQI was inversely associated with change in HOMA-IR (r=-0.91; p<0.01) among the exercise group. CONCLUSIONS A circuit, interval-based aerobic and resistance exercise intervention improved patient-reported sleep quality in breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer survivors. Additionally, this exercise-induced improvement in sleep-quality may result in reduced insulin resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with severe long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAODs) experience serious morbidity and mortality despite traditional dietary management including medium-chain triglyceride (MCT)-supplemented, low-fat diets. Triheptanoin is a triglyceride oil that is broken down to acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) and propionyl-CoA, which replenishes deficient tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates. We report the complex medical and nutrition management of triheptanoin therapy initiated emergently for 3 patients with LC-FAOD. METHODS Triheptanoin (Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, Inc, Novato, CA, USA) was administered to 3 patients with LC-FAOD on a compassionate-use basis. Triheptanoin was mixed with non-MCT-containing low-fat formula. Patients were closely followed with regular cardiac and laboratory monitoring. RESULTS Cardiac ejection fraction normalized after triheptanoin initiation. Patients experienced fewer hospitalizations related to metabolic crises while on triheptanoin. Patient 1 has tolerated oral administration without difficulty since birth. Patients 2 and 3 experienced increased diarrhea. Recurrent breakdown of the silicone gastrostomy tube occurred in patient 3, whereas the polyurethane nasogastric tube for patient 2 remained intact. Patient 3 experiences recurrent episodes of elevated creatine kinase levels and muscle weakness associated with illness. Patient 3 had chronically elevated C10-acylcarnitines while on MCT supplementation, which normalized after initiation of triheptanoin and discontinuation of MCT oil. CONCLUSIONS Triheptanoin can ameliorate acute cardiomyopathy and increase survival in patients with severe LC-FAOD. Substituting triheptanoin for traditional MCT-based treatment improves clinical outcomes. MCT oil might be less effective in carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency patients compared with other FAODs and needs further investigation.

Abstract
The neurodevelopmental outcome of hypoplastic left heart syndrome in infants remains unclear. All 11 survivors of staged surgical repair of hypoplastic left heart syndrome received standardized neurodevelopmental assessments at one regional children's hospital. Seven children (64%) had major developmental disabilities. Quality-of-life outcomes must be considered when management options for children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome are evaluated.

Abstract
Nutritional needs and management of critically ill infants and children are complex and fundamentally different from adults. In addition to common physiologic issues of nutrition during acute illnesses, infants and children have nutritional needs related to growth and development of the whole child as well as individual organ systems. Critical care nurses play a key role in assuring that both physiologic and developmental needs related to nutrition are met, to prevent long-term complications.

Abstract
Liquid ventilation is, by all initial considerations, an unconventional concept. Decades of research, however, have found that by using perfluorocarbons, which are capable of holding high concentrations of critical gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, gas exchange optimal enough to support life is possible with no known toxic effects. The earliest method of liquid ventilation, tidal liquid breathing, involved infusion and active removal of tidal volumes of perfluorocarbons by a liquid ventilator for gas exchange. Recently, a new method of partial liquid breathing, called perfluorocarbon-associated gas exchange, makes the process of liquid ventilation simpler by using conventional gas ventilators. Current research is showing great promise in the use of liquid ventilation for patients with pulmonary pathology. Critical care nurses should become knowledgeable of this new mode of ventilation and be prepared to meet the special needs of this unique population.

Abstract
Congenital cardiac defects and the clinical symptoms they exhibit are affected intimately by the relation they have with pulmonary circulation. Cardiac lesions that increase pulmonary blood flow often occur clinically with signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure, including hepatomegaly, tachycardia, diaphoresis, and feeding difficulties. However, in the neonatal period, pulmonary vascular resistance often remains elevated, decreasing the pulmonary blood flow and, therefore, severity of symptoms. Cardiac lesions that reduce pulmonary blood flow often manifest early in life with clinical signs and symptoms of cyanosis, tachypnea, and acidosis. Finally, cardiac lesions that result in isolated pulmonary blood flow manifest immediately in the neonatal period, with profound cyanosis and acidosis. In all three groups of cardiac anomalies, critical care nurses play a key role in the control of pulmonary vascular resistance and blood flow by collaborating in therapies designed to increase, decrease, or promote mixing to reduce morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Congenital heart disease is often associated with a clinical picture of failure to thrive from unique nutritional issues. Poor weight gain, less than expected linear growth, and variances in normal development are commonly seen both in infancy and throughout childhood when defects are unrepaired. Major factors associated with disturbances in growth and development as well as a review of current therapeutic interventions are explored in this article.

Abstract
Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is an extremely rare phenomenon, with only 249 cases in the English literature over the past 30 years. Obstruction of the popliteal artery caused by abnormal anatomic development results in diminished blood supply to the extremity. Unlike more common vascular problems, this syndrome often produces claudication and symptoms of arterial insufficiency in young, healthy, even athletic individuals with no other apparent vascular risk factors. Accurate assessment and monitoring are critical in identifying this syndrome, minimizing complications, and preventing long-term adverse effects on activities of daily living.

Abstract
1. Reported patient perceptions of seclusion revealed many negative feelings. The quest for the human element, dignity, to understand and to be understood, and to be reassured was a theme throughout. 2. Whatever nurses can do before or during the seclusion process that results in more positive perceptions by patients helps promote more comfortable feelings and more appropriate behavior. Frequent reviews of seclusion policies and procedures are important. 3. Debriefing may be one of the most important ways that staff can help the patient in diminishing the emotional impact of seclusion. It provides an opportunity to clarify the rationale for the seclusion, offer mutual feedback, and promote the patient's self-esteem.

Abstract
An estimated 100,000 "crack babies" are born each year in the United States. Because in addition to a variety of other congenital anomalies, neonatal cardiac defects have recently been linked to maternal cocaine use, the critical care nurse needs to conduct a detailed cardiac status assessment on all cocaine-exposed infants.
