Nature and Nurture01:10

Nature and Nurture

22.3K
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...

The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition

47.3K
Plants have the impressive ability to create their own food through photosynthesis. However, plants often require assistance from organisms in the soil to acquire the nutrients they need to function correctly. Both bacteria and fungi have evolved symbiotic relationships with plants that help the species to thrive in a wide variety of environments.

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,...

Microbial Nutrition

Organisms exhibit remarkable metabolic diversity, categorized based on how they acquire energy and carbon. These strategies enable survival in various ecological niches and are essential for maintaining energy flow and nutrient cycling within ecosystems.Energy and Carbon SourcesOrganisms are classified as phototrophs or chemotrophs based on energy acquisition. Phototrophs use light as their energy source, while chemotrophs rely on oxidizing chemical compounds. Further differentiation arises...

What is Natural Selection?01:32

What is Natural Selection?

128.8K
Natural selection is an evolutionary process in which individuals with survival-promoting traits reproduce at higher rates. These favorable traits become more common within a population or species. Naturally selected traits initially arise via random genetic mutations. In order for selection to occur, there must be variation within a population, the trait controlling the variation must be heritable, and there must be an evolutionary advantage for variation in the trait.

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition02:35

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

24.2K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Nutritional Science
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Rickets is a bone mineralization disorder affecting growing bones.
  • Nutritional rickets remains a significant global health issue.
  • Vitamin D deficiency is a primary cause, but calcium and genetic factors can also contribute.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the classical form of nutritional rickets, specifically vitamin D deficiency rickets.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of epidemiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on vitamin D deficiency rickets.
  • Synthesis of current knowledge on the disease's various aspects.

Main Results:

  • Vitamin D deficiency is central to nutritional rickets pathogenesis.
  • Multiple factors including calcium and genetics can influence rickets development.
  • The review consolidates information on clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management.

Conclusions:

  • Nutritional rickets, particularly vitamin D deficiency rickets, requires ongoing attention.
  • Understanding epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical features is crucial for effective prevention and treatment.
