Question: Are standard equations accurate in assessing resting energy expenditure in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?
Answer: We found that standard equations used to calculate energy expenditure were not valid for patients with ALS. Moreover, the majority of our patients were either overfed or underfed. As underfeeding can cause diaphragm impairment, and overfeeding can increase ventilatory load, indirect calorimetry should be considered in ALS patients to determine optimal caloric requirement.
no

Question: Are wedding rings a significant source of bacterial contamination following surgical scrubbing?

no
