This document discusses failure to thrive in children. It defines failure to thrive as inadequate growth or inability to maintain growth in early childhood. It notes that failure to thrive can be organic or non-organic. Two common organic causes discussed are celiac disease and pyloric stenosis. Celiac disease causes malabsorption due to damage to the small intestine from gluten. Pyloric stenosis causes failure to thrive due to a narrowing of the pylorus which prevents food from exiting the stomach.

Failure to thrive (nidz)
Failure to thrive (FTT) refers to inadequate growth in infants and children. It is defined as weight below the 3rd percentile on a growth chart or a significant drop off from a previously established growth curve. FTT can be organic, resulting from medical causes like prematurity or malnutrition, or inorganic, caused by non-medical factors like poor parenting or neglect. Evaluation involves a thorough history, physical exam, and basic lab tests. Treatment focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying cause while ensuring adequate calorie intake through increased feeding or supplementation. Early diagnosis and intervention are important to prevent long term developmental and health impacts of prolonged malnutrition.
Ftt
FTT describes inadequate growth in children and is diagnosed using growth charts. It affects 5-10% of young children. Causes include inadequate caloric intake, absorption issues, increased needs, or defective utilization. Organic causes stem from medical issues while inorganic are due to caregiver actions. Diagnosis involves history, exam, and tests like bloodwork and growth monitoring. Management focuses on optimal nutrition, supportive environment, education, and follow up to promote catch up growth. Prognosis depends on duration and treatment of the underlying cause.

Failure to thrive
Failure to thrive (FTT) refers to inadequate growth in infants and children. It is defined as weight below the 3rd percentile or a significant decrease from an established growth curve. FTT can be organic, due to medical causes like prematurity or malnutrition, inorganic, due to non-medical causes like neglect or poor parenting, or mixed. Clinical features include low weight and height compared to standards, as well as decreased developmental milestones. Diagnosis involves medical history, physical exam, and tests to identify underlying causes. Management focuses on optimizing nutrition, providing a nurturing environment, parental education, and treating any medical issues contributing to FTT.
Failure To Thrive With Notes
- Failure to thrive is defined as inadequate physical growth diagnosed by observing growth trends on standard growth charts.
- It can be classified as organic (caused by medical issues) or nonorganic (caused by psychosocial factors) and further divided into prenatal or postnatal categories.
- Evaluating a child for failure to thrive involves taking a thorough history including feeding and medical history, performing a physical exam, and ordering basic screening labs tailored to the child's history and exam findings.
- Treatment focuses on increasing caloric intake to promote catch-up growth, addressing any underlying medical issues, modifying feeding behaviors, and involving psychosocial support services if nonorganic causes are suspected.

Protein energy malnutrition
Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is a pathological condition arising from a lack of proteins and calories, most common in infants and young children. It manifests as marasmus, due to calorie deficiency, or kwashiorkor, due to protein deficiency. PEM is a global problem causing childhood mortality and morbidity. Causes include inadequate food intake, infections, and poor hygiene. Treatment involves stabilizing the patient, rebuilding tissues, and preparing for follow-up rehabilitation. Preventive measures encompass promoting breastfeeding, improving family diets, and early diagnosis and treatment of infections.
Failure to Thrive
Failure to thrive (FTT) is defined as a lack of appropriate weight gain or a persistent weight loss from a child's normal growth curve. It can be classified as organic, caused by medical issues, or non-organic, caused by psychosocial factors. A thorough history, physical exam, and lab tests are needed to determine the etiology and develop an appropriate treatment plan focused on nutritional rehabilitation and addressing the underlying cause. Prognosis depends on the etiology, with FTT in the first year generally having a poorer outcome. Prevention efforts include exclusive breastfeeding, parental education, and early detection and intervention.

Failure to thrive by ulfat aimin
DEFINITION
FTT is defined as attained growth Weight of < 3rd percentile on standard growth chart or Weight for height < 5th percentile on standard growth chart or Weight 20% or more below ideal weight for height. OR
Rate of growth less than 20 g/day from birth to 3 months of age or less than 15 g/day from 3 months to 6 months of age or falloff from previously established growth curve or downward crossing of > 2 major percentiles.
ETIOLOGY
The etiology of FTT has traditionally been divided into organic, inorganic and mixed.
Organic FTT; Is a growth symptom of virtually all serious pediatric physical illnesses, such as gastro esophageal reflux, malabsorption syndrome, cystic fibrosis and congenital heart disease.
Nonorganic FTT; Is a failure of growth without diagnosable organic disease. It is caused by a psychosocial problem between the infant or child and the mother or other primary caregiver.
Mixed FTT; has both organic and nonorganic causes and cannot be described as either alone.
NOTE:-
The standard classification of dividing the causes of FTT as organic and non-organic is probably not very appropriate. Whether the condition is primarily organic or non-organic in origin, all children who fail to thrive suffer the physical and psychological consequences of malnutrition and are at a significant risk for long-term physical and psycho developmental sequelae. Organic diseases are responsible for less than 20% of cases with FTT. The causes of FTT are as;-
1. INADEQUATE CALORIC INTAKE
• Incorrect formula preparation
• Neglect
• Excessive juice consumption
• Poverty
• Behavioral problem affecting eating
• Non-availability of food
• Misperceptions about diet and feeding practices
• Errors in formula reconstitution
• Dysfunctional parent-child interaction, child abuse and neglect
• Behavioral feeding problem
• Mechanical problems with sucking, swallowing and feeding
• Primary neurological diseases
• Chronic systemic disease resulting in anorexia, food refusal and neurological problems
2. INADEQUATE ABSORPTION
• Cystic fibrosis
• Celiac disease
• Vitamin deficiencies
• Hepatic diseases.
3. INCREASED CALORIC REQUIREMENT
• Hyperthyroidism
• Congenital heart disease
• Chronic immunodeficiency
• Chronic respiratory disease
• Neoplasm
• Chronic or recurrent infection
4. EXCESSIVE LOSS OF CALORIES
• Persistent vomiting
• Gastro esophageal reflux disease
• Gastrointestinal obstruction
• Increased intracranial pressure
• Renal losses - renal tubular acidosis
• Diabetes mellitus
• Inborn errors of metabolism

Internationally accepted rights of the child
The document discusses the rights of children and the history of establishing those rights. It outlines that child protection has existed for some time prior to the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child. Ten key rights of children were established in the 1959 Declaration of the Rights of the Child, including the rights to development, social security, healthcare, education, and protection. However, these declarations are not legally binding as countries are not required to abide by them. The document introduces the topic of children's rights and provides background before discussing the ten specific rights established in 1959.
Low birth weight
1) Low birth weight babies are those born weighing less than 2,500 grams. They are at higher risk of neonatal death and infant mortality.
2) Management of low birth weight babies depends on their weight - babies over 1.8kg can be managed at home, those 1.5-1.8kg require hospital care, and babies under 1.5kg need intensive care in the NICU.
3) Kangaroo mother care is a way to care for low birth weight babies that promotes warmth, breastfeeding, infection prevention, and bonding between mother and baby.

Juvenile+Rheumatoid+Arthritis+slides+
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is a general term for arthritis in children. It is characterized by joint inflammation, swelling, and pain. There are different subtypes classified by the number and pattern of involved joints. Treatment has shifted to more aggressive early treatment with medications to prevent long-term joint damage, and may include NSAIDs, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs like methotrexate, biologic medications, and corticosteroids depending on the subtype and severity of symptoms. JRA can cause long-term disabilities but early treatment aims to improve prognosis and prevent complications.
Protein Energy malnutrition
Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) is a condition arising from lack of protein and calories that mostly affects infants and children in developing countries, with India home to the largest number of malnourished children worldwide. PEM is assessed using indicators like weight-for-age, height-for-age, mid-upper arm circumference, and skin fold thickness. Management of PEM focuses on treating hypoglycemia, hypothermia, infections, and other conditions while gradually increasing nutrient intake to support catch-up growth.
Malnutrition
The document outlines a lecture plan on malnutrition (hypotrophy) and protein-energy malnutrition. It begins with definitions of malnutrition and dystrophy. It then discusses the etiology and pathophysiology of malnutrition as well as classifications such as marasmus and kwashiorkor. The clinical manifestations are described including trophic disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, CNS dysfunctions, and immunological disorders. Laboratory tests and treatment/prevention are also mentioned. Globally, malnutrition remains a major health problem, especially in developing countries, and is a primary cause of childhood mortality.
Protein Energy Malnutrition
This document discusses malnutrition and provides definitions and descriptions of different types. It begins by defining malnutrition and protein-energy malnutrition.

A life of a thalassemia patient 1e
A one-year-old child presented with failure to thrive and paleness was diagnosed with thalassemia. The child required regular blood transfusions to treat anemia symptoms from the condition. As the child grew older, she developed complications from iron overload due to the frequent transfusions, including pain in her abdomen. Her parents inquired about stem cell transplantation but a donor could not be found, so she was placed on medication to treat the iron overload and manage the thalassemia long-term through continued hypertransfusion therapy.

The goals of the Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative are to transform maternity facilities through implementing the Ten Steps to support breastfeeding and to end the distribution of free breast milk substitutes. The Ten Steps provide a framework for hospitals and maternity wards to support breastfeeding through practices like immediate skin-to-skin contact, rooming-in, teaching breastfeeding techniques, and not providing pacifiers or bottles. The Initiative aims to improve infant nutrition and health outcomes by promoting and protecting breastfeeding.
Git5 malabsorption syndrome
Malabsorption syndrome results in chronic diarrhea, abdominal distention, and failure to thrive due to impaired digestion and absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. It can be caused by disorders that affect digestion, nutrient breakdown, micelle formation, brush border enzyme activity, or nutrient transport. Evaluation involves laboratory tests of nutritional deficiencies, imaging of the gastrointestinal tract, and biopsy of the small intestine to identify the specific cause and guide treatment, which focuses on correcting nutritional deficiencies and treating the underlying disorder.

FAILURE TO THRIVE.pptx
Failure to thrive in children is defined as weight consistently below the 3rd to 5th percentile for age and sex. It can be caused by medical conditions (organic) or environmental factors (nonorganic) such as neglect or stimulus deprivation. Treatment aims to restore proper nutrition. Failure to thrive is divided into organic, nonorganic, and mixed types. Organic failure to thrive is due to disorders that interfere with nutrition. Nonorganic is due to insufficient calorie intake. Mixed failure to thrive has both organic and nonorganic causes overlapping. Treatment involves identifying and addressing the underlying causes through nutrition, medical care, and social support.
Failure_to_thrive.pdf
Failure to thrive is defined as inadequate weight gain or growth in infants and children. It can be caused by organic/medical factors that impair nutrition, such as malabsorption, or non-organic/psychosocial factors like neglect. Diagnosis involves assessing growth charts, dietary history, physical exam, and lab tests. Treatment focuses on providing adequate nutrition through diet and addressing any underlying medical or psychosocial issues impacting care and growth.
Protein energy malnurition
This document provides information on protein energy malnutrition (PEM), including:
- PEM refers to a range of pathological conditions arising from coincidental lack of proteins and calories, most frequently affecting infants and young children.
- Assessment of nutritional status can be done through dietary, clinical, anthropometric, biochemical, morphological, radiological, and epidemiological evaluations.
- PEM is caused by a combination of inadequate dietary intake and illness/infection, and is a major public health problem in developing countries, contributing to over half of deaths in children under 5 years old.

Failure to thrive
Failure to thrive is defined as sustained weight loss or failure to gain weight resulting in a child's weight falling below normal growth curves. It can be caused by inadequate nutrition intake, increased calorie needs, or issues with absorption. Evaluation involves assessing growth charts, nutrition intake, physical exam for signs of organic disease, and laboratory tests if indicated. Management goals are nutritional rehabilitation, treating any underlying medical causes, and addressing psychosocial factors. The prognosis depends on the etiology, with psychosocial causes having risks of developmental delays and organic causes having variable outcomes based on the specific condition.

F.T.T.pptx for medical records paediatric patients
This document defines failure to thrive (FTT) as weight below normal for an infant's age and sex, not including prematurity or genetic factors. It provides typical growth rates for infant weight, length, and head circumference. Potential causes of FTT include inadequate intake, absorption issues, increased metabolic demands, and defective utilization. Causes are classified as inadequate intake, absorption/increased losses, or increased requirements/defective utilization. Evaluation involves growth charts, physical exam, and lab/diagnostic tests to identify underlying issues like malnutrition, gastrointestinal problems, infection, or endocrine/metabolic disorders.

Approach to a child with failure to thrive
This document provides information on the approach to a child with failure to thrive. It defines failure to thrive as inadequate calorie intake resulting in weight for height below the 2nd standard deviation. Potential causes of failure to thrive include inadequate food intake, malabsorption, and increased metabolic demands. Inadequate intake can be due to problems with ordering, preparing, or taking in enough food. Malabsorption may result from conditions like cystic fibrosis or celiac disease. Increased metabolic demands occur in infections, genetic syndromes, and other chronic diseases. A thorough history, physical exam, and diagnostic workup considering biological, psychosocial, nutritional, and medical factors is needed to identify the underlying cause.

Eating disorder : Classification and tratment
This document discusses various eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, rumination disorder, pica, and avoidant/restricting food intake disorder. It covers risk factors, diagnostic criteria, medical complications, and treatment approaches for each disorder. Treatment involves multidisciplinary teams including medical, nutritional, and psychological support. Diagnosis involves tools like the Eating Disorder Inventory and prioritizes weight restoration, psychological interventions, and long-term maintenance.
Feeding disorder of infancy or early childhood 1
Feeding disorders of infancy and early childhood involve persistent failure to eat adequately or gain weight over at least one month. They feature maladaptive eating behaviors between caregiver and infant, such as food refusal, selectivity, avoidance or delayed self-feeding. Most cases have onset within the first year and respond well to interventions targeting the caregiver-infant interaction and feeding environment, though about 70% of persistent cases continue into childhood. Differential diagnosis requires ruling out underlying medical conditions, and treatment is individualized but often focuses on optimizing engagement during feeding.

Vitiligo
This document discusses the case of a 23-year-old male patient with white patches on his fingers and elbows. After taking the patient's history and conducting a physical exam, vitiligo was diagnosed. Vitiligo is defined as a disorder where white patches appear on the skin when melanin production stops. It has no known cause but may be related to genetic and immune factors. Vitiligo can be non-segmental, affecting large areas symmetrically, or segmental, appearing in one region. Treatments aim to reduce color contrast and include sunscreens, cosmetics, phototherapy, and depigmentation medications.
Breast swelling
This document provides information on breast swelling including:
- Definitions of breast swelling and a short anatomy of the breast.
- Differential diagnoses of breast swelling including physiological causes like puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause, and contraceptives. Pathological causes include fibroadenoma, fibroadenosis, mastitis, fat necrosis and more.
- Clinical evaluations for breast swelling including history, physical examinations, and investigations like mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsies and blood tests.
- Management of breast swelling depends on the underlying cause and may include observation, medications, surgery, radiation or chemotherapy.
Yellow Baby
This document discusses jaundice in newborns. It provides information on diagnosing and treating neonatal jaundice based on the age of the infant. The differential diagnosis would differ depending on whether the infant was 1, 3, or 10 days old. For a 1 day old, early causes like Rh incompatibility or infections would be considered. For a 3 day old, physiological or breast milk jaundice would be more common. For a 10 day old, causes like biliary atresia or hepatitis would be more likely. Treatment options discussed include phototherapy, exchange transfusions, or intravenous immunoglobulin depending on bilirubin levels and the infant's age and condition.
Pulmonary embolism
Maryam AL-Qahtani presented on pulmonary embolism. The key investigations for a PE patient are a D-dimer test, CT pulmonary angiography, isotope lung scanning, and leg ultrasound. For treatment, anticoagulants like heparin, low molecular weight heparins (LMWH), and warfarin are given as prophylaxis or therapy. The types of heparin are unfractionated heparin and LMWH, which differs in molecular weight, activity against coagulation factors, side effects, and half-life. Physicians consider effectiveness, safety and cost when deciding which type of heparin to use.

Osgood-Schlatter disease
This document discusses a case of a 13-year-old footballer presenting with pain in both knees. Upon examination, a hard bony protrusion was felt at the tibial tuberosity in both legs. The tibial tuberosity provides attachment for the patellar ligament and is a common site for Osgood-Schlatter disease. This condition occurs in young athletes and involves inflammation of the tibial tuberosity. The diagnosis can be made clinically and confirmed with x-rays. Treatment is typically conservative with RICE therapy, medications, and physical therapy. The patient's symptoms are consistent with Osgood-Schlatter disease and conservative care is indicated.
trauma and bleeding (hemorrhagic shock)
This document discusses the body's compensatory mechanisms in response to hemorrhagic shock. In the early, compensated stage of shock, the body attempts to maintain blood pressure and perfusion through mechanisms like increased sympathetic nervous system stimulation, activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis, and baroreceptor reflexes. The patient described has a urinary output of 20ml/hr, which is within the normal range of 30-50ml/hr, indicating the body is still able to adequately perfuse the kidneys. Later stages of decompensated and irreversible shock occur if compensation is insufficient to maintain circulation.
pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia in HIV
A 30-year-old man presented with a 3-week history of fever and dyspnea on exertion. He was a former smoker and had unprotected sex with multiple partners. On examination, he had a respiratory rate of 36, fast but regular heart rate, and oxygen saturation of 91% on room air. He reported chest pain and difficulty swallowing. Given his symptoms and risk factors, Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia was suspected. As an opportunistic infection, it posed an infectious risk to those with compromised immunity. Standard precautions including isolation were recommended until diagnosis was confirmed or ruled out. Treatment would involve 21 days of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole with cortic
Atherosclerosis
1) This document discusses risk factors for atherosclerosis and their role in the pathogenesis of the disease. It identifies both controllable factors like hypertension, smoking, obesity, and uncontrollable factors like age, sex, and family history.
2) The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis involves four main stages: chronic endothelial injury, accumulation of lipoproteins in the arteries, resultant inflammation and release of factors, and smooth muscle cell proliferation that narrows arteries.
3) Clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis can include leg pain with exercise, absent pulses, bruits over arteries, dry skin, and coldness in affected limbs. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help regulate controllable risk factors.

A 22-year-old man was brought to the emergency room after blacking out and falling at a coffee shop at 2am. On arrival, he smelled of alcohol and only responded to strong pain. He was wheezing with shallow, slow breathing and his left lung had minimal movement. Tests found low oxygen and high carbon dioxide levels in his blood. Examination revealed several fractured ribs on his left side. The man's condition and symptoms were likely due to alcohol intoxication leading to his fall, resulting in fractured ribs and a punctured lung causing shortness of breath.

Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.
2nd-generation Antihistaminic Part I.pptx
CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) Cosmetics
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

- 4. • Growth failure is due to an acute or chronic disorder that interferes with nutrient intake, absorption, metabolism, or excretion or that increases energy requirements. Organic FFT • Up to 80% of children with growth failure do not have an apparent organic disorder; growth failure occurs because of environmental neglect (e.g. lack of food), stimulus deprivation, or both. Non- organic FFT What are causes of failure to thrive?

Editor's Notes
- Normally, the body's immune system is designed to protect it from foreign invaders. When people with celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system forms antibodies to gluten which then attack the intestinal lining. This causes inflammation in the intestines and damages the villi, the hair-like structures on the lining of the small intestine. Nutrients from food are normally absorbed by the villi. If the villi are damaged, the person cannot absorb nutrients properly and ends up malnourished, no matter how much he or she eats
- Marked hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the 2 (circular and longitudinal) muscular layers of the pylorus occurs, leading to narrowing of the gastric antrum. The pyloric canal becomes lengthened, and the whole pylorus becomes thickened. The mucosa is usually edematous and thickened. In advanced cases, the stomach becomes markedly dilated in response to near-complete obstruction.
