CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
CHAPTER 1 SEMESTER V PREVENTIVE-PEDIATRICS.pdfSachin Sharma
This content provides an overview of preventive pediatrics. It defines preventive pediatrics as preventing disease and promoting children's physical, mental, and social well-being to achieve positive health. It discusses antenatal, postnatal, and social preventive pediatrics. It also covers various child health programs like immunization, breastfeeding, ICDS, and the roles of organizations like WHO, UNICEF, and nurses in preventive pediatrics.
Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
CHAPTER 1 SEMESTER V - ROLE OF PEADIATRIC NURSE.pdfSachin Sharma
Pediatric nurses play a vital role in the health and well-being of children. Their responsibilities are wide-ranging, and their objectives can be categorized into several key areas:
1. Direct Patient Care:
Objective: Provide comprehensive and compassionate care to infants, children, and adolescents in various healthcare settings (hospitals, clinics, etc.).
This includes tasks like:
Monitoring vital signs and physical condition.
Administering medications and treatments.
Performing procedures as directed by doctors.
Assisting with daily living activities (bathing, feeding).
Providing emotional support and pain management.
2. Health Promotion and Education:
Objective: Promote healthy behaviors and educate children, families, and communities about preventive healthcare.
This includes tasks like:
Administering vaccinations.
Providing education on nutrition, hygiene, and development.
Offering breastfeeding and childbirth support.
Counseling families on safety and injury prevention.
3. Collaboration and Advocacy:
Objective: Collaborate effectively with doctors, social workers, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated care for children.
Objective: Advocate for the rights and best interests of their patients, especially when children cannot speak for themselves.
This includes tasks like:
Communicating effectively with healthcare teams.
Identifying and addressing potential risks to child welfare.
Educating families about their child's condition and treatment options.
4. Professional Development and Research:

By fulfilling these objectives, pediatric nurses play a crucial role in ensuring the optimal health and well-being of children throughout all stages of their development.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

2. NUTRITION THERAPY FOR OBESITY
AND WEIGHT CONTROL
OBESITY is defined as an abnormal increase of fat in the
subcutaneous connective tissue. This means a lot of fat
cells are gathered in the tissue under the skin. Eating
greater amounts of food than the body can use for energy
causes this deposition.
It is also not a merely condition; rather it is a metabolic
disease that accumulates to the extent that health is
impaired.
3. Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat
accumulation that presents a risk to health. A body mass index (BMI)
over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 is obese.
caused by eating too much and moving too little. If you consume high
amounts of energy, particularly fat and sugars, but do not burn off the
energy through exercise and physical activity, much of the surplus
energy will be stored by the body as fat.
4. Prevention of Obesity ;
in adults involves regular physical activity, a decrease in saturated fat
intake, a decrease in sugar consumption, and an increase in fruit and
vegetable consumption. In addition, family and healthcare professional
involvement may help to maintain a healthy weight.
Consume less “bad” fat and more “good” fat
Consume less processed and sugary foods
Eat more servings of vegetables and fruits
Learn how to food budget and meal prep
5. Planning for Weight Loss;
1.Creating a calorie deficit in a nutrient-dense way
All weight loss plans have one thing in common — they get you to
eat fewer calories than you burn
A good weight loss meal plan should follow some universal criteria:
*Limits processed foods and added sugar
*Includes a variety of fruits and vegetables

8. NUTRITION THERAPY FOR DIABETES MELLITUS
DIABETES MELLITUS refers to a group of diseases that
affect how the body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is
an important source of energy for the cells that make up
the muscles and tissues. It's also the brain's main source
of fuel. The main cause of diabetes varies by type.
a disorder in which the body does not produce enough or
respond normally to insulin, causing blood sugar (glucose)
levels to be abnormally high. Urination and thirst are
increased, and people may lose weight even if they are not
trying to.
9. Two types of Diabetes;
1) Juvenile Diabetes occurs at any age from birth through
adolescence.It is severe, requires insulin for treatment and it is
difficult to manage.or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic
condition. In this condition, the pancreas makes little or no insulin.
Insulin is a hormone the body uses to allow sugar (glucose) to enter
cells to produce energy
2) Adult type Diabetes occurs primarily among obese people who
become diabetic in middle age. The disease is usually mild, stable
and well-regulated by diet alone or by diet and oral compound.It is
also a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels
are too high. Glucose is your main source of energy. It comes from
the foods you eat. A hormone called insulin helps the glucose get
into your cells to give them energy.
10. What does a diabetes diet involve?
A diabetes diet is based on eating three meals a day at regular times. This
helps you better use the insulin that your body produces or gets through a
medication.
A registered dietitian can help you put together a diet based on your health
goals, tastes and lifestyle. He or she can also talk with you about how to
improve your eating habits, such as choosing portion sizes that suit the
needs for your size and activity level.
11. Recommended foods
Make your calories count with these nutritious foods. Choose healthy
carbohydrates, fiber-rich foods, fish and "good" fats.
Healthy carbohydrates
During digestion, sugars (simple carbohydrates) and starches (complex
carbohydrates) break down into blood glucose. Focus on healthy
carbohydrates, such as:
Fruits
Vegetables
Whole grains
beans and peas
Low-fat dairy products, such as milk and cheese
Avoid less healthy carbohydrates, such as foods or drinks with added fats,
sugars and sodium.
12. Fiber-rich foods
Dietary fiber includes all parts of plant foods that your body can't digest or
absorb. Fiber moderates how your body digests and helps control blood sugar
levels. Foods high in fiber include:
Vegetables,Fruits,Nuts
beans and peas
Whole grains
Heart-healthy fish
Avoid fried fish and fish with high levels of mercury, such as king mackerel
'Good' fats
Foods containing monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can help lower
your cholesterol levels. These include:
Avocados
Nuts
Canola, olive and peanut oils
But don't overdo it, as all fats are high in calories.

16. NUTRITION THERAPY FOR DISEASES OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL
TRACT
The primary functions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract include obtaining and
digesting food, absorbing nutrients and water, and eliminating wastes from the
body as feces. In order to distribute nutrients, prevent nutrient deficits and
malnutrition, repair injured intestinal epithelium, restore normal luminal bacterial
populations, encourage normal GI motility, and maintain healthy immunological
responses, a healthy diet and GI tract are essential (eg, both tolerance and
protection from pathogens). Food quantity, form, feeding frequency, and diet
composition all have a significant impact on GI function and can be used to
help reduce symptoms of GI disease..
17. Nutrient composition
GI tract can be affected by a wide range of nutritional and non-nutritional
disorders, choosing the right diet can help treat most GI conditions more
effectively. For the treatment of GI disorders, a variety of therapeutic diets
are available, including those that are highly digestible, new antigen or
hypoallergenic diets, hydrolyzed (protein) diets, and diets with increased
dietary fiber concentrations. These diets can all be used to treat different
GI issues.
The bland diet is a nutritionally appropriate diet that consists of bland-
tasting, soft-textured, mechanically and chemically non-stimulating foods.
Any diet consumed for an extended period must be nutritionally sufficient.
18. Peptic ulcer is an ulceration in the protective inside layer of the
lower esophagus, stomach, or duodenum.
Peptic ulcer is a lesion of the mucosal lining of the upper
gastrointestinal tract characterized by an
imbalance between aggressive and protective factors of the
mucosa, having H. pylori as the main
etiologic factor. Dietotherapy is important in the prevention and
treatment of this disease.

24. Gastroesophageal reflux disease, hiatal hernia, and esophagitis or heart burn
- GERD, hiatal hernia, and esophagitis occur 1 to 4 hours after a meal when
sphincter pressure drops. This is typically induced by pregnancy, oral
contraceptives, smoking, and chocolates, soft drinks, citrus fruits and juices,
and caffeinated drinks.
Treatment: Reducing intra-abdominal pressure and gastric acid production
Diet Therapy
1. Avoid foods high in fat.
2. Avoid large meals.
3 Limit foods that relax the lower esophageal sphincter.
4. Increase the intake of foods that do not affect the lower esophageal
sphincter pressure.
5. Maintain the ideal body weight.

26. NUTRITION THERAPY FOR DISEASES OF THE LIVER,
GALLBLADDER, AND PANCREAS
The liver, pancreas and gallbladder have an irreplaceable role in the
digestion and absorption of nutrients
in the diet. Problems with them, whether acute or chronic, have a
significant impact on the above functions
of the digestive tract (digestion and absorption). The most common
dietary component we have to pay
attention to with different diets and illnesses of these organs is fats. That
is why doctors often recommend
a reduced fat diet for various lengths of time. If a patient is experiencing
digestion or absorption problems
due to diseases of these organs, and has to stick to a low-fat diet, they
can often start to lose weight.
27. FRUTY JUICES
Nutritionally incomplete fat-free hypercaloric nutrition with fruit flavour. It is
especially intended for malnutrition or the risk of it in patients with diseases of
the gallbladder, pancreas or liver. It is suitable as part of a reduced-fat diet or
for those with intolerance of dairy forms of nutritional support. It does not
contain gluten or lactose, so it is suitable for lactose intolerance and coeliac
disease.
Food for special medical purposes.
Nutritional values in packaging (330 ml): energy 495 kcal, protein 14.9 g,
fat 0g, carbohydrates 109 g, of
which sugars 16,8 g
• Recommended daily dosage: 1 – 3 bottles for supplementary nutrition
28. Diet Therapy
1.Protein. The diet should be enriched with foods that are concentrated sources
of protein.
2.Energy. Whenever the protein allowance is increased, the caloric level of the
diet must be sufficient to meet the body’s energy needs.
3.Minerals and Vitamins. Supplements are required only for patients who have
faulty absorption.
4.Moderate Fat. 80-100 g of fat should be provided daily.
5.Hepatitis E produces symptoms similar to hepatitis A although the process can
be fulminant in some patients. A person can get it by drinking water infected with
the virus or through oral-anal contact.
30. Cirrhosis
-Chronic degenerative disease in which the build-up of fibrous
connective tissue replaces the liver cells following fatty
degeneration of long standing.
-Can cause the lover cells to die and form new cells
Treatment
Rest
Supportive care

31. Diet Therapy
1.In severe cirrhosis of the liver, a serious complication of ascites, diets
restricted to 250 mg sodium may be prescribed in an effort to control the
edema.
2.Patients with cirrhosis of the liver are often depleted of protein.
3.It is no longer believed necessary to restrict the amounts of fats in
patients with cirrhosis of the liver.
4.Alcohol is strictly forbidden
Edema is an imbalance in the capillary fluid shift, mechanisms caused

58. Nutrition therapy for diseases of the kidney
Kidney is one of the most important
organs in our body that helps purify our
blood and flush out the toxins. A kidney
failure leads to serious problems. In the
initial stages, medication and diet may be
a solution. However, as the condition
worsens, it becomes important to seek
serious medical advice and may involve
taking dialysis or kidney replacement.
59. Lifestyle changes to prevent/control kidney failure
The following lifestyle measures are usually recommended for people with kidney
disease:
● stop smoking if you smoke
● eat a healthy balanced diet
● restrict your salt intake to less than 6g a day – that's around 1 teaspoon
● do regular exercise – aim to do at least 150 minutes a week
● manage your alcohol intake so you drink no more than the recommended limit
of
14 units of alcohol a week
● lose weight if you're overweight or obese
● avoid over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as
ibuprofen, except when advised to by a medical professional – these medicines
can harm your kidneys if you have kidney disease
60. Acute glomerulonephritis
Acute glomerulonephritis may be caused by infections such as strep throat. It may
also be caused by other illnesses, including lupus, Goodpasture's syndrome, Wegener's
disease, and polyarteritis nodosa. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are important
to prevent kidney failure.
Treatment
Treatment depends on what caused the glomerulonephritis and the damage done to
thekidney filters. A mild case may not need any treatment. At other times, your
healthcareprovider may recommend:
● Changes to your diet so that you eat less protein, salt and potassium.
● Corticosteroids such as prednisone.
● Dialysis, which helps clean the blood, remove extra fluid and control blood
61. ● Diuretics (water pills) to reduce swelling.
● Immunosuppressants, if a problem with the immune system causes
glomerulonephritis.
● Medicine to lower your blood pressure, such as angiotensin-
converting enzyme
(ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers.
● Plasmapheresis, a special process that filters protein from the blood.
62. Can I prevent glomerulonephritis?
There is no proven way to prevent glomerulonephritis, though some practices and
proper diet may help such as:
● Eat healthy, unprocessed food.
● Manage high blood pressure with a low salt diet, exercise and medication.
● See a healthcare provider whenever you think you have an infection like strep
throat.
● A person might need to drink less fluids than usual and eat a diet that's low in
protein, salt, and potassium.
63. Nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is a collection of symptoms that indicate kidney damage.
Nephrotic syndrome results from a problem with the kidneys’ filters, called
glomeruli.Glomeruli are tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that remove wastes and excess
fluids from the blood and send them to the bladder as urine.
Treatment
Treating nephrotic syndrome includes addressing the underlying cause as well as
takingsteps to reduce high blood pressure, edema, high cholesterol, and the risks of
infection.Treatment usually includes medications and changes in diet.
Eating, Diet, and Nutrition
Eating, diet, and nutrition have not been shown to play a role in causing or
preventingnephrotic syndrome in adults. For people who have developed nephrotic
syndrome,limiting intake of dietary sodium, often from salt, and fluid may be
recommended to helpreduce edema. A diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may
also be recommended tohelp control hyperlipidemia.

oral fluid replacement with
the client, within multiple
restrictions. Encourage
protein-rich foods and
rescue sodium intake
Educate the client about
smoking cessation
A decreased urine output of less than 400 mL/24
hours may be the first indicator of impending renal
failure, especially in a high-risk client. Accurate
I&O is necessary for determining fluid replacement
needs and reducing the risk of fluid overload.
Tachycardia and hypertension can result from
kidney failure and alterations in the
reninangiotensin system, which helps regulate
long-term blood pressure and blood volume. Daily
body weight is one of the best monitors of fluid
status. A weight gain of more than 0.5 kg/day
suggests fluid Retention Allow the client to choose
from a variety of beverages, including hot, cold,
and frozen options. This may assist to avoid times
of dehydration, eliminates the routine of limited
options, and lessens feelings of deprivation and
thirst.. Restricting salt intake and protein intake
may reduce the amount of protein lost in the urine,
but most clients who are losing large amounts of
protein actually need more protein. For
progressive disease, dietary restrictions of 2g
sodium, 2gpotassium, and 40 to 60g protein a day
help reduce the build-up of wastes and prevent
fluid overload states.. Cessation of smoking is also
paramount in decreasing the aggravation of renal
disease.

66. Acute renal failure (ARF)
Acute renal failure (ARF) - sudden decline of kidney function
Treatment
Treatment for acute kidney failure typically requires a hospital stay. Most people
with acute kidney failure are already hospitalized. Methods of treatment include
dialysis, which is often administered for a few days or weeks before the kidneys
again function on their own, or medication. In severe cases, a kidney transplant
may be necessary. How longyou'll stay in the hospital depends on the reason for
your acute kidney failure and how
quickly your kidneys recover.
In some cases, some may be able to recover at home
67. Lifestyle and home remedies
During your recovery from acute kidney failure, your doctor may recommend a special
diet to help support your kidneys and limit the work they must do. Your doctor may
referyou to a dietitian who can analyze your current diet and suggest ways to make
your dieteasier on your kidneys.
Depending on your situation, your dietitian may recommend that you:
● Choose lower potassium foods. Your dietitian may recommend that you choose
lower potassium foods. High-potassium foods such as bananas,oranges, potatoes,
spinach and tomatoes should be avoided. Examples oflow-potassium foods that you
can consume include apples, cauliflower,peppers, grapes and strawberries.
68. ● Avoid products with added salt. Lower the amount of sodium you eat each
day by avoiding products with added salt, including many convenience foods,
such as frozen dinners, canned soups and fast foods. Other foods with added
salt include salty snack foods, canned vegetables, and processed meats and
cheeses.
● Limit phosphorus. Phosphorus is a mineral found in foods, such as whole-
grain bread, oatmeal, bran cereals, dark-colored colas, nuts and peanut
butter. Too much phosphorus in your blood can weaken your bones and cause
skin itchiness. Your dietitian can give you specific recommendations on
phosphorus and how to limit it in your particular situation.
As your kidneys recover, you may no longer need to eat a special diet given by
your dietitian, although healthy eating remains important.
69. Chronic renal failure (CRF)
* Chronic renal failure (CRF) - decline of kidney function
Treatment
There's no cure for chronic kidney disease (CKD), but treatment can help
relieve the symptoms and stop it getting worse.
Your treatment will depend on the stage of your CKD.
The main treatments are:
● lifestyle changes – to help you stay as healthy as possible
● medicine – to control associated problems, such as high blood pressure
andhigh cholesterol
● dialysis – treatment to replicate some of the kidney's functions, which
maybe necessary in advanced (stage 5) CKD
● kidney transplant – this may also be necessary in advanced (stage 5) CKD
70. Diet
• You may need to make changes to your diet when you have chronic kidney
disease(CKD). These changes may include limiting fluids, eating a low-
protein diet, limiting salt,potassium, phosphorus, and other electrolytes,
and getting enough calories if you arelosing weight.
• You may need to alter your diet more if your kidney disease gets worse, or
if you need dialysis.
Why do we need to follow this diet?
• The purpose of this diet is to keep the levels of electrolytes, minerals, and
fluid in your body balanced when you have CKD or are on dialysis
• People on dialysis need this special diet to limit the buildup of waste
products in thebody. Limiting fluids between dialysis treatments is very
important because most people on dialysis urinate very little. Without
urination, fluid will build up in the body and cause too much fluid in the
heart and lungs.

72. Renal calculi (urolithiasis)
Renal calculi (urolithiasis) also known as kidney stone- are hard
deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys.
Treatment
The treatment for kidney stones is similar in children and adults. You
may be asked todrink a lot of water. Doctors try to let the stone pass
without surgery. You may also getmedication to help make your urine
less acidic. But if it is too large, or if it blocks the flow of urine, or if
there is a sign of infection, it is removed with surgery

74. What is the most important factor to prevent kidney stone formation?
One of the best things you can do to avoid kidney stones is to drink plenty of
water every day. This will help make sure that you urinate frequently to avoid any
build up of calcium or uric acid.Don't underestimate your sweat! Saunas, hot yoga
and heavy exercise may sound goodfor your health, but they also may lead to
kidney stones. Why? Loss of water throughsweating whether due to these
activities or just the heat of summer may lead to lessurine production. The more
you sweat, the less you will urinate, which allowsstone-causing minerals to settle
and deposit in the kidneys and urinary tract.Hydrate with water. Be sure to keep
well hydrated, especially when doing exercise oractivities that cause a lot of
sweating. You should drink 2-3 quarts of liquid or 8-12 cupsper day to produce a
good amount of urine. Speak with a healthcare professional aboutthe right
amount of water that's best for you. Try to avoid sodas (especially those with
high amounts of fructose), sweetened iced tea and grapefruit juice.
75. Kidney stones are solid crystals formed from the salts in
urine. They are sometimes called renal calculi. Kidney
stones can block the flow of urine and cause infection,
kidney damage or even kidney failure.
NUTRITIONAL THERAPHY: Follow a healthy diet plan
that has mostly vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and
low-fat dairy products. Limit sugar-sweetened foods and
drinks, especially those that have high fructose corn syrup.
Limit alcohol because it can increase uric acid levels in the
blood and avoid short term diets for the same reason.

To monitor renal function. The kidney may
not be able to filter potassium in the blood
in a patient with ARF. This may result in
hyperkalemia or high serum potassium
levels. ARF is reversible. It can be treated
by underlying causes, signs and
symptoms. The kidneys may not be able
to filter potassium in the blood in a patient
with ARF. A low potassium diet can give
the kidneys rest and prevent further
deterioration of renal perfusion and
function. On the other hand, too much
phosphorus can weaken the bones, so a
low phosphorus intake is advised. Too
much salt may lead to fluid retention. Food
charting can help monitor dietary protein
and caloric intake. To enable the patient
to have specialized advice on renal diet

77. NUTRITION THERAPY FOR CANCERS
CANCER is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow
uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer
can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up
of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and multiply
(through a process called cell division) to form new cells as the
body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged,
they die, and new cells take their place.
78. Carcinogenesis
The process by which normal, healthy cells transform into cancer cells is
termed carcinogenesis or oncogenesis. The development of a malignant tumor
in otherwise healthy tissue is the result of a complex series of events beginning
with a single cell that has acquired malignant properties through cellular DNA
damage..
CARCINOGENS
are defined as agents capable of initiating the development of malignant
tumors by inducing cellular genetic changes. The transformation of a normal
cell to a malignant cell is thought to be due to successive and cumulative
exposures to carcinogens and other factors over the course of decades.
79. TYPE OF CANCER
1. CARCINOMA- is cancer that forms in epithelial tissue. Epithelial tissue lines most
of your organs, the internal passageways in your body (like your esophagus),
and your skin. Most cancers affecting your skin, breasts, kidney, liver, lungs,
pancreas, prostate gland, head and neck are carcinomas.
2. SARCOMA- is the general term for a broad group of cancers that begin in the
bones and in the soft (also called connective) tissues (soft tissue sarcoma). Soft
tissue sarcoma forms in the tissues that connect, support and surround other
body structures.
3. LYMPHOMA- types of cancer that begin in the lymphatic system (the various
lymph glands around the body) when abnormal white blood cells grow.
Lymphomas are the sixth most common form of cancer overall (excluding non-
melanoma skin cancer).
80. Nutritional Management
1.Oral Nutrition
a. High-calorie, high-protein beverages may be offered.
b. In case of lactase deficiency, Lactaid® may be given.
2.Tube Feedings
a. Complete products-meal replacements that require digestion and absorption
b. Chemically-defined products – minimal or no digestion; for pancreatic cancer
patients
C. Modular products – used in combination with other tube feeding products to
enhance calorie or protein intake
d. Specialty products – vary in terms of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, and fat
content; for patients with hepatic or renal failure
3. Total Parenteral Nutrition
a. Used when the digestive tract is not functioning
b. Nutrients administered intravascularly

82. NUTRITION THERAPY FOR ACQUIRED IMMUNE
DEFICIENCY SYNDROME (AIDS)
THE DEFINITION OF AIDS
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is the name used to
describe a number of potentially life-threatening infections
and illnesses that happen when your immune system has
been severely damaged by the HIV virus. While AIDS cannot
be transmitted from 1 person to another, the HIV virus can.
83. AN INFECTED PERSON CAN TRANSMIT THE VIRUS THROUGH
FROM:
a. Sexual intercourse
b. Blood transfusion
c. Sharing contaminated needles
d. Mother to child during pregnancy, child birth, or breastfeeding[
It cannot spread by mere kissing, coughing, sneezing and touching.
84. Nutritional Management
1. Dietary Management
a. Energy – 35 to 45 kcal/kg BW
b. Protein – 2 to 2.5 g/kg BW
c. Fats – increase omega-3 sources and decrease saturated fats
in the diet
d. Vitamins and minerals – an increase to be recommended in
case of altered metabolism
2. Alternative Management
a. Common in patients with chronic or terminal illness
b. May range from vitamin and mineral supplementations
85. DOES AIDS PATIENTS HAVE MEAL PLAN?
There’s no specific eating plan for people with HIV, but an overall healthy diet
can help your health a lot.
Follow this simple tips:
1. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. since they are rich in nutrients called
antioxidants that help to maintain a healthy immune system. Five to nine
servings of produce should be consumed every day. Filling half of your plate
with fruits and vegetables at each meal is a simple approach
to achieve this objective. To receive the most vitamins and minerals, eat a
variety of fruits and vegetables.
2. Choose lean proteins. It helps your body create muscle and a strong
immune system. Lean beef, chicken, fish, eggs, beans, and nuts are all good
choices.
If you are underweight or have advanced HIV, you might need to eat more
protein. The ideal dosage for you can be determined with the advice of your
doctor.
86. 3. Choose whole grains. Like gas in a car, carbs give your body energy.That makes
whole-grain carbs, like brown rice and whole wheat bread, high-end fuel.
They're packed with energy-boosting B vitamins and fiber. And when you eat plenty
of fiber, that can lower your chances of getting fat deposits called lipodystrophy, a
potential side effect of HIV.
4. Limit your sugar and salt. Whether because of the virus or the treatment drugs
you’re taking, HIV raises your chances of getting heart disease. Too much sugar and
salt can harm your ticker. So
aim to get less than 10% of your calories each day from foods and drinks with added
sugar. You should also have no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day.
5. Have healthy fatsin moderation. Fat provides energy, but it’s also high in calories.
If you’re not trying to gain weight, limit how much of it you eat. Heart-healthy
choices include nuts, vegetable oils, and avocado.
87. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic, potentially
life-threatening condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV). By damaging your immune system, HIV interferes with your
body's ability to fight infection and disease
NUTRITION THERAPY: For all AIDS patients who experience
unexplained weight loss, calorie counts should be obtained, and
appetite stimulants and oral supplements are also appropriate.
88. ROLE OF NUTRITION ON SOFT AND HARD DENTAL TISSUES
Maintenance of Healthy Periodontal Tissues
After birth, nutritional quality affects tissue synthesis as nutrients work to maintain and
repair periodontal tissues when essential.
Healthy oral tissue is the best protection against microbe invasion. Some nutrients
influence the process of maintaining and repairing periodontal structures more than
others. Some have a singular benefit while others offer multiple advantages. Their joint
effort affects soft and hard periodontal tissues, host susceptibility, immune response,
and wound healing.
In a human being's lifetime, optimal oral health depends on adequate quantities of
vitamins A, B-complex, C, D, and E; proteins; calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium;
iron; zine; copper and some lipids, such as omega-3 fatty acids
89. •Lipids perform a key role in one's general health status (energy, obesity, diabetes, and
hypertension) and have slight implications for the control of one's oral health status.
Lipids include triglycerides, phospholipids, sterols, and lipoproteins. Fat provides a
protective layer on teeth and prevents biofilm adherence. Some fatty acids have
antibacterial properties. Low levels of omega-3 fatty acids correlate with a risk for
periodontitis. Clinicians should observe caution in recommending fat intake, as excess
is implicated in several chronic diseases.
• Protein is responsible for repair and maintenance of body tissues. Amino acids repair
tissues and form antibodies to help resist infection. Protein deficiencies can influence
the synthesis of new tissue, as key amino acids are important for maintenance and
healing. Unacceptable amounts of protein in the diet increases vulnerability to
infection, slows wound healing, and causes deterioration of periodontal connective
tissues. Excess protein can decrease calcium retention and influence bone health.
People with plant-based diets need to pay special consideration to acquiring sufficient
amounts of protein in their diets. Vitamin C is present in large amounts in neutrophils,
so when protein intake is insufficient, this can also reduce the availability of vitamin C.
90. • Vitamin A in adequate amounts helps sustain immune function and the integrity of sulcular epithelium,
assists with bone remodeling, and keeps the salivary glands working efficiently. An early sign of this
vitamin deficiency is a decrease in the rate of epithelial cell differentiation. Deficiencies throughout life
may cause salivary glandatrophy, hyperkeratinization of some oral structures, compromised periodontal
tissue healing, or carotene coloration. Excess vitamin A can result in increased catabolism of collagen and
bone.
• Vitamin D in constant amounts is important throughout life since calcified tissues remodel. Vitamin D is
vital to general health because it controls the presence of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in blood
plasma. The danger of vitamin D deficiency increases with age, lack of exposure to sunlight, and poor
eating habits. Osteomalacia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, lamina dura and cementum loss, and an even
bigger risk of developing some cancers can be the result of such deficiency. Excessive vitamin D can cause
irreversible kidney and cardiovascular tissue damage. Vitamin D and calcium levels have been linked to
periodontal problems due to their role in bone homeostasis, including attachment and bone and tooth
loss. However, it is possible for depleted bone structures to reconstruct with vitamin D supplementation.
• Vitamin E is a group of 10 lipid-soluble compounds that include tocopherols and tocotrienols. Vitamin E
functions as an antioxidant and protects red blood cells. Insufficient vitamin E is rare but can manifest as
hemolytic anemia. Excess amounts of vitamin E in the body can create a vitamin K deficiency, obstruction
with anticoagulant drugs, and bleeding problems.
91. •Vitamin K functions as a cofactor (enzyme partner) for the synthesis of prothrombin. Prothrombin is essential
for blood clotting and is produced by some intestinal bacteria. Deficiencies are caused by conditions that
decrease fat absorption or by antimicrobial medications that alter intestinal flora. Symptoms include delayed
bleeding and clotting time. High doses of vitamin K interfere with anticoagulants, which could result in
hemorrhage.
• Vitamin B-complex is a group of coenzymes. These coenzymes work together to sustain healthy oral tissues
by forming new cells and preserving the immune system. The risk of a vitamin B-complex deficiency increases
with age, ingestion of certain medications (phenytoin and methotrexate), eating disorders, addictions, and in
vegans, such deficiency can result in increased oral tissue sensitivity, burning mouth syndrome, loss of taste,
angular cheilosis, pernicious anemia, gingivitis, and frequent oral lesions..
•Vitamin C assists with collagen and connective tissue formation. It aids with blood vessel integrity,
phagocytosis, and wound healing. It is also a strong antioxidant that facilitates calcium and iron absorption and
protects vitamins A and E. Low levels of vitamin C produce an increased intracellular permeability of blood
vessels and the sulcular epithelium, allowing microbial penetration into deeper structures. The first symptom of
vitamin C deficiency is often exhibited as gingivitis. Enlarged, magenta, hemorrhagic gingiva along with a
widened periodontal ligament is the result. Low levels of vitamin C increase the risk of developing periodontal
disease. Insufficient vitamin C intake combined with smoking can result in grave consequence on periodontal
tissues. Smokers have greater metabolic turnover rate for vitamin C. Excessive vitamin C in the diet can obstruct
anticoagulants.
92. • Calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in the diet can affect absorption and
create aggressive bone resorption It also increases the risk of tooth mobility,
premature tooth loss, and hemorrhage. Reduced dietary intake of calcium results in
more severe periodontal disease and low dietary intake is a risk factor for
periodontal disease. Hypercalcemia, excess magnesium, and excess phosphorus are
almost unknown.
• Iron can lead to angular cheilosis, pallor, burning mouth syndrome, glossitis, and
atrophy or denudation of the filiform papillae, and candidiasis as a result of lowered
immune function. Excessive iron is rare, as most individuals regulate the absorption
of iron well.
93. • Zinc is an essential mineral needed for wound healing and new tissue
healing. Zinc works along with iron and copper for wound healing.
Malnourished individuals run the risk of having low zinc levels. Zinc levels
are naturally suppressed during infection. Zinc deficiencies quickly
weaken immunity and reduce antibody activity. Even a modest
insufficiency of zinc can lead to increased opportunistic infections.
Immune status is closely linked to zinc status--an important mineral to
control periodontal disease. Zinc toxicity is uncommon.
• Copper is an important mineral, involved in both collagen and elastin
formation and regeneration. A copper deficiency causes considerable
decrease in the tensile strength of collagen. This produces bone lesions,
malformed joints, bone fragility, and vascular lesions.
