Pica is an eating disorder characterized by an appetite for non-food items. It is most common in children and pregnant women, and can be caused by nutritional deficiencies like iron lack or mental disorders. Common non-food items eaten include ice, sand, paper, and dirt. While some items like ice pose little harm, others like dirt or sand can cause poisoning, damage to organs, or disease. Pica should be prevented to avoid health risks and treated by addressing any underlying causes.

- Dementia is characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. It has stages from mild to severe. Causes include Alzheimer's, strokes, and other degenerative brain diseases.
- Delirium involves acute changes in consciousness, perception, and motor behavior. It has many reversible medical causes and typically resolves within
Conversion disorder
Conversion disorder, also known as functional neurological symptom disorder, is a condition where a person experiences neurological symptoms such as blindness, paralysis, or seizures that cannot be fully explained by medical issues. It occurs when psychological stressors are converted into physical symptoms affecting sensation, movement, or both. People with conversion disorder may experience weakness in the limbs, impaired coordination, or problems with senses like vision or hearing. It is diagnosed through medical history, exams, and tests to rule out other neurological or medical conditions. Treatment involves counseling therapies and sometimes medication to manage anxiety or depression. Prognosis is generally good, especially if the condition is diagnosed early and the patient engages with treatment recommendations.

The Human Life Cycle
Birth to Old Age –
What is the human life cycle?
How does nutrition influence our life cycle?
How have our cultural changes in diet and nutrition influenced our development?
So far we have looked at ways in which human beings vary in their phenotypes. Another way that humans have evolved is in our life cycle. All organisms have a cycle of life and eventually die. In this lecture, we are going to consider how the developmental and maturation cycle for homo sapiens has changed over the course of our evolution. When we were in our human evolution section of this course, we watched as maturation rates slowed as species evolved towards Homo sapiens. We have the longest maturation period of any primate, but when we enter this period and get out of it has been altered.
1
Humans are a generalized species
Homo sapiens are very generalized and flexible, we also call this plastic.
We live, eat, and respond to a number of different environments and circumstances.
As environments have changed, our culture has evolved to make us more adaptive.
Drastic cultural changes over the last several decades will have profound impact on our biology.
For this lecture, think back a bit to how flexible and adaptive we are. We have the ability to adapt to many environments and we have. On top of that, we have altered our cultures quite a bit and this has impacted our evolution.
2
Does our original body and life cycle match our ancestors 300kya ago?
We are a species that evolved in subtropical Africa some time around 300,000 years ago.
Rapid agricultural and cultural changes have caused major divisions between generations; think how different your life is from your grandparents.
We have to consider both biological and cultural influence on how the cycle of life has changed.
Something we have to consider is that humans haven’t been around very long as a species. Since it takes us so long to reproduce, we haven’t been on the planet long enough for us to really have evolved in any major ways. What this means is that technically, most of us are still evolved to live in sub-tropical Africa, in small, kin-based families, who hunt and gather. Yet we live in a rapidly modernizing world. Is this rapid change affecting the way we develop and at the rate we do? Let’s consider some examples by looking at the normal life cycle.

Fetal growth
The image above gives you an idea of the course of development in utero. Notice that within the first couple weeks, your neural tube (thus your nervous system) is already developing.

By 16 days, neural tube has formed…
Most women do not necessarily know that they are pregnant as early as 2 weeks after conception. However, the neural tube and thus the nervous system is already forming. This means that nutrition is an absolutely integral part of daily life. If malnutrition or other nutrition issues affect the child this young, then the nervous system is already being harmed.

1. Heredity, health, nutrition, and environment can impact a child's growth and development. Genetics passed down from parents and a child's overall health and nutrition intake influence how quickly they grow.
2. It is important for children to eat a balanced diet with proteins, carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables to provide energy and support growth. They should also get regular exercise, rest, and stay clean to maintain good health.
3. Diseases and disabilities can slow down growth if they affect parts of the body. Family environment and living conditions also influence a child's development.
Food & Tips
Dairy-free probiotics are probiotic supplements that do not contain milk or other dairy products. They are lactose-free options for the many people around the world who are lactose intolerant or avoid dairy for other reasons. Lactose intolerance causes digestive issues like stomach pain, diarrhea and gas when the lactase enzyme needed to break down the lactose in milk is not present.
PLU codes are 4-5 digit numbers grocery stores use to identify and price produce items at checkout. The International Federation for Produce Standards assigns the codes to standardize produce identification globally.
The top dietary supplements recommended are calcium and vitamin D to support bone and overall health, iodine for thyroid and hormone
Liver disase
The liver plays an important role in the body's metabolic processes and in breaking down food for use. Liver disease can be caused by viruses, bacteria, an unhealthy lifestyle or unhygienic environment and can have hereditary factors. Symptoms of liver disease include yellowish skin, fatigue and a lack of desire to live. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with good nutrition and clean eating and living areas can help prevent liver disease.

TINA_CHILD AND NUTRITION.pptx
- Childhood nutrition involves making sure children eat healthy foods to help them grow and develop normally while preventing issues like obesity and disease. Poor nutrition can negatively impact health, development, and learning.
- Children need a variety of foods from all food groups every day including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, proteins and dairy to get important nutrients. Not getting proper nutrition can increase risks for chronic diseases and health problems later in life.
- Common nutritional issues for children include failure to thrive, food refusal, allergies, and iron-deficiency anemia. It is important to address nutritional deficiencies and encourage balanced eating.
Intro
The document discusses pediatric physical therapy, defining it as focusing on improving motor skills, strength, and development for infants, children, and adolescents. It describes common pediatric diagnoses treated including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and developmental delays. The roles of pediatric PTAs are outlined as assessing abilities, implementing exercises, and using adaptive equipment. The document also notes that a small percentage of PTAs work in school settings and there are no required special certifications for pediatric PTAs.
Functional foods
Functional foods are foods that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition through physiologically active components. They may help prevent or reduce disease risk and promote health. Key examples that help cardiovascular health include soy, oats, tea, nuts, and psyllium. Berries and fish support brain function due to antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. Probiotics and prebiotics maintain a healthy gut and support nutrient absorption. Sports drinks, energy drinks, and enhanced waters are examples of functional beverages, though some have potential adverse effects if consumed in excess. Vitamins A, C, E, lutein and zeaxanthin in foods like carrots, kale and oranges support vision health.
Functional foods
Functional foods are foods that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition through physiologically active components. They may help prevent disease, reduce disease risk, or enhance health. Some examples of functional foods and their benefits include oats, which can help lower cholesterol; berries, which are good for brain function; and fish, which contain omega-3 fatty acids good for heart and brain health. Food sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber and other compounds can also have protective effects on vision, cardiovascular and brain health. Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels through diet and lifestyle is important for overall health.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
