The number of shares outstanding will double if a company undertakes a 2-for-1 stock split, or will be halved if it undertakes a 1-for-2 share consolidation.
All except one of these studies found that a feeding tube did not prolong life for patients with advanced dementia. Most patients with feeding tubes do not survive very long. Several studies show that 20â30% of patients who get feeding tubes die within a month and 50â60% die within a year.ne of the therapies the decision maker may need to think about is whether the person with dementia would want a feeding tube. A feeding tube is a tube that goes through the skin and delivers food directly to the stomach.
In the context of progressive terminal illness it can be argued that tube feeding should generally not be done. When the patient dies the ultimate cause of death is the underlying disease, not starvation or dehydration. In the absence of a progressive terminal disease, the feeding tube may be used to prolong life.Since the patient is not dying of another cause, discontinuing the feeding tube would imply a desire to cause the patientâs death. It is in this context that most of the controversy occurs. feeding tube may allow life to be prolonged for decades in an otherwise healthy individual. While food and water are essential to life, there is considerable controversy in the medical literature as to how much artificial nutrition and hydration help at the time of death.
