Nutritional deficiencies in children can cause significant health problems. Protein deficiencies like marasmus and kwashiorkor result in wasting and edema. Vitamin deficiencies such as vitamins A, D, B1, B2 and niacin can cause conditions like rickets, beriberi, and pellagra. Children are especially vulnerable due to their high nutritional needs for growth. Proper nutrition is essential for normal development and long-term health.
This document discusses diet and nutrition considerations in pediatrics. It defines nutrition and provides an overview of macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Balanced nutrition includes adequate intake of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. Nutritional needs vary based on age, from prenatal counseling and infant nutrition supporting growth, to addressing issues like malnutrition, obesity, and early childhood caries. Diet can impact oral health, as cariogenic foods promote decay while anticariogenic foods may prevent it.
1. The document provides an overview of nutrition, including the history of nutrition science, roles of nutrition in health, and common nutritional problems in India.
2. Key topics covered include protein-energy malnutrition and related conditions like marasmus and kwashiorkor, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, obesity, and the National Nutrition Policy of India.
3. Common nutritional deficiencies discussed are anemia, goiter, xerophthalmia, and effects of fluoride and lathyrus consumption.
The document discusses nutrition and its relationship to periodontal health. It defines key terms, classifies foods and nutrients, and describes the functions and effects of macronutrients, micronutrients, and minerals on periodontal health. Specific deficiencies are shown to increase risks of periodontal diseases by impacting collagen formation, wound healing, immune response and more.
This document defines malnutrition and identifies its types and preventative measures. Malnutrition is poor nutrition resulting from an insufficient or imbalanced diet, poor digestion, or inability to absorb foods. It affects infants, children, the elderly, disabled, and ill. There are two main types: undernutrition and overnutrition. Undernutrition includes protein-energy malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies like iron deficiency anemia, rickets, and vitamin A deficiency. Overnutrition refers to excessive caloric intake leading to obesity. The document identifies at-risk groups and signs of various deficiencies. It emphasizes preventative measures like nutrition education, food fortification, and supplementation programs.
Malnutrition is poor nutrition due to an insufficient, poorly balanced diet, faulty digestion or poor utilization of foods. (This can result in the inability to absorb foods).
Malnutrition is not only insufficient intake of nutrients. It can occur when an individual is getting excessive nutrients as well.
Nutrition is very important for a growing child as it not only effects the general health but also the oral health, which are ultimately interrelated. This presentation will help you to understand Nutrition as a Pediatric Dentist.

- Various nutrition-related terms like nutrients, malnutrition, undernutrition, and imbalanced nutrition are defined.
- Major nutritional problems in India like protein-energy malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies are discussed.
Nutrition is the selection and ingestion of foods to be assimilated by the body. A healthy diet can avoid many health issues. In 1747, Dr. James Lind performed the first scientific nutrition experiment, discovering that sailors given limes were cured of scurvy where others given other substances were not, though he did not know it was due to vitamin C. Various essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fats have been discovered and their roles in the body's processes have been elucidated from the 1930s to present.

Minerals and vitamins play an important role in pregnancy outcomes. Deficiencies in iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, vitamins A, B-complex, folate, B12, C, D and E can negatively impact fetal growth and development. The document reviewed studies on the effects of supplementing with individual minerals and vitamins as well as multiple micronutrients during pregnancy. While certain supplements like folic acid and iron were found to improve outcomes, the roles of other vitamins are still unclear and some like vitamin E may increase health risks.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
