Vitamins01:30

Vitamins

1.3K
Vitamins, derived from the Latin word for life, are essential organic substances required in small quantities for optimal growth and overall well-being. Unlike other organic nutrients, vitamins don't act as sources of energy or building materials but rather facilitate these nutrients' utilization by the body. Vitamins are predominantly coenzymes, assisting enzymes in specific chemical actions, like the oxidation of glucose for energy involving B vitamins. Most vitamins are not produced...

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

458
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 Receptors

3.1K
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,...

Bulimia Nervosa01:30

Bulimia Nervosa

264
Bulimia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by a cyclical pattern of binge-and-purge eating pattern. It generally involves an episode of binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise, laxative use, or fasting, to prevent weight gain. Despite often maintaining a normal weight, individuals with bulimia are intensely preoccupied with their body image and harbor an overwhelming fear of gaining weight. This can contribute to the...

Self-Schemas

33.5K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Conditioned Taste Aversion01:14

Conditioned Taste Aversion

273
Conditioned taste aversion, also known as sauce béarnaise syndrome, is a phenomenon in which an individual develops an aversion to a certain food taste following a negative experience, typically illness. This form of aversion is a type of classical conditioning in which the taste of the food (conditioned stimulus, CS) is associated with the experience of illness (unconditioned stimulus, UCS).
A notable characteristic of conditioned taste aversion is that it often requires only a single...

Area of Science:

  • Nutrition Science
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) is rare in developed countries but can occur.
  • It is often associated with special needs children, but can affect typically developing children.

Observation:

  • A nine-year-old boy with severe picky eating habits developed scurvy over several years.
  • He presented with limping and knee pain, initially undiagnosed.
  • His condition worsened to the point of being unable to walk.

Findings:

  • Picky eating in children can lead to nutritional deficiencies like scurvy.
  • Delayed diagnosis of scurvy can result in significant mobility impairment.

Implications:

  • Recognizing scurvy is crucial in children presenting with limping and extreme picky eating.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are vital for preventing severe complications in pediatric scurvy.
