Cutaneous manifestations of nutritional disorders.

Although the frequency of nutritional disorders is diminishing in developed countries, it is imperative that the clinician know the cutaneous clues to diagnoses of these conditions. Settings in which nutritional disorders occur include cogenital or postsurgical alterations in bowel anatomy, chronic wasting states, psychiatric diseases, and metabolic alterations.

[Nutritional disorders in workers and employees of an industrial enterprise in Tselinograd and the incidence of gastroduodenal diseases].

Questioning of 877 subjects was conducted during prophylactic examination of workers at industrial enterprises in Tselinograd. Endoscopy and intragastral pH-metry were used to investigate the stomach and duodenum. Disorders in nutrition were proved more often in those with the disease diagnosed for the first time. The incidence rate of symptoms of diseases of the digestive organs depended on disorders in nutrition regimen, and was directly proportional to them. It has been shown that screening-questionnaire can be used for the study of nutrition factors in industrial workers during prophylactic examination. Gastroduodenal diseases, i.e. chronic gastritis with hyperacidity, and functional gastric diseases are most frequent.

Mechanisms by which nutritional disorders cause reduced bone mass in adults.

Nutritional disorders that cause bone loss in adults include disordered eating behaviors (female athlete triad and anorexia nervosa), gastrointestinal diseases (celiac sprue, inflammatory bowel disease, and other malabsorption syndromes), alcoholism, and hypervitaminosis A. These disorders exert their effects on bone through a number of mechanisms, including estrogen deficiency. Deficiencies of anabolic hormones may also be important, including insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), a nutritionally regulated bone trophic factor. In addition, low weight itself is a risk factor for bone loss and decreased bone formation. Reduced calcium and vitamin D availability, with resultant secondary hyperparathyroidism, is another important mechanism of bone loss in nutritional disorders. This review discusses nutritional causes of reduced bone mass in adults and how nutritional disorders exert deleterious effects on the skeleton.

Nutritional disorders among workers in North China during national turmoil.

Previously undescribed disorders of nutrition of thiamin, niacin and pyridoxin were observed among the poor people of North China during periods of prolonged deprivation. These disorders were often elicited or exacerbated by physical exertion. Thiamin deficiency syndromes included great toe pain, heel pain, temporomandibular joint click, and painful click of the knee. Syndromes of niacin deficiency included pellagral scrotal dermatitis, hypersecretion of ear wax, and night terrors. Episodic nocturnal motor hyperfunction was caused by pyridoxin deficiency. Several cases with cardiovascular diseases were observed in which nutritional debt appeared to occur simultaneously with oxygen debt following severe physical labor. Intramuscular thiamin HCl ameliorated symptoms of impending stroke. Persons with the same symptoms who did not receive thiamin progressed to fatal stroke.

[Nutritional disorders and primary health care. Analysis and strategic approach in the Mauritanian Adrar region].

Disorders of nutrition, prevalent in the Adrar (a region of Mauritania), as registered in the activities of care units in Atar and similar structures, involved in nutritional concerns are first, protein caloric malnutrition, with serious consequences in high infant mortality. Equally hazardous, Vitamin A deficiency results in serious ophthalmological complications (blindness). Anemia is a common problem among pregnant women. There is, moreover, obesity of a socio-cultural nature, whose pathological consequences should not be neglected. Target populations are children for malnutrition and vitamin deficiency, and adult women for obesity and anemia. In any case, it is in the wide-spread awareness of primary health care and community health that the disorders mentioned will be prevented.

[Dynamic indices of the blood lipid spectrum and the body's acetylating capacity in infants in the 1st year of life with chronic nutritional disorders].

The lipid metabolism and acetylating processes were studied in children with chronic nutritional disorders during their treatment. In dystrophic children significant shifts in lipid metabolism were recorded: the levels of chylomicronemia, phospholipids, total lipids decreased, while those of free fatty acids and total cholesterol increased. The coenzyme acetylating processes in the patients with nutritional disorders were also impaired. The management of dystrophic patients was attended by a progressive recovery of the lipid metabolism. The elucidation of the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders in dystrophic children would permit outlining the ways for their dietetic and drug correction.
