Insights

Children with feeding disorders often have multiple issues, frequently linked to medical conditions like cardiorespiratory or gastrointestinal problems. Early, multidisciplinary evaluation is key for effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Medicine
  • Clinical Nutrition
  • Developmental Pediatrics

Background:

  • Feeding disorders are common in children presenting to tertiary care clinics.
  • Understanding the profile of these children and their associated medical conditions is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the overall profile of children with feeding disorders.
  • To examine the relationships between feeding disorders and underlying medical conditions in an outpatient setting.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records for 143 children attending a feeding clinic.
  • Assessment of feeding disorders (feeding behavior disorder, dysphagia, failure to thrive) and medical conditions by a physiatrist.

Main Results:

  • 65% of children presented with a combination of feeding disorders.
  • Cardiorespiratory disease was linked to sensory food aversion and failure to thrive.
  • Dysphagia correlated with most medical conditions, while feeding behavior disorders were associated with gastrointestinal issues.

Conclusions:

  • Feeding disorders in children are complex and often co-occur with various medical conditions.
  • A multidisciplinary approach is recommended for comprehensive evaluation and treatment.
  • This study provides insights into the intricate profile of pediatric feeding disorders.

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Taste Buds and Receptors01:20

Taste Buds and Receptors

Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Metabolism

In pediatric care, understanding the nuances of hepatic drug metabolism is crucial, as it significantly differs from that of adults. This divergence is primarily due to the developmental stage of drug-metabolizing enzymes, which affects how medications are processed in the body. In neonates, for instance, the activity of Phase I enzymes—critical for the initial breakdown of drugs—is markedly reduced, functioning at just 20–40% of the levels seen in adults. This reduction poses...

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...
