1

Anemia

A condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells, in hemoglobin, or in total volume.

New cards
2

Nutritional Anemia

anemia caused by dietary deficiency of nutrients that are essential to red blood cell formation

New cards
3

microcytic hypochromic anemia

anemia characterized by small, pale red blood cells that lack adequate hemoglobin to carry oxygen; can be caused by deficiency of iron

New cards
4

megaloblastic anemia

a blood disorder characterized by anemia in which the red blood cells are larger than normal, immature, and nucleated caused by folate deficiency

New cards
5

Pernicious anemia

lack of mature erythrocytes caused by inability to absorb vitamin B12 into the bloodstream

New cards
6

Sideroblastic anemia

Anemia - microcytic, hypochrmocic but with normal hemoglobin level - due to defective protoporphyrin synthesis maybe caused by vitamin B6 deficiency

New cards
7

Hemolytic anemia

Anemia caused by the destruction of red blood cells

New cards
8

Hemorrhagic anemia

anemia caused by excessive bleeding or pooor blood clotting

New cards
9

Vitamin E

Vitamin important for hemolytic anemia management

New cards
10

Calcium, Vitamin k

Vitamin important for hemorrhagic anemia management

New cards
11

Copper-deficiency anemia

Anemia where iron cannot be released due to low ceruloplasmin levels needed for iron mobilization

New cards
12

Alzheimer's disease

Progressive degeneration of the brain that ultimately results in dementia

New cards
13

Dementia

A general time for memory loss and other cognitive loss

New cards
14

Normal diet; consistency may be adjusted according to tolerance

Diet order for alzheimer's

New cards
15

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Neurodegenerative disorder of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brainstem causing muscle weakness and atrophy; aka Lou Gehrig Disease

New cards
16

4 and below

Severity scale rating for ALS in which nutrition support as EN or PN is warranted

New cards
17

6-5

Severity scale of ALS when diet consistency changes

New cards
18

4-3

Severity scale of ALS when TF is done to prevent or lessen wt loss; enhance QoL

New cards
19

2-1

Severity scale of ALS when px can no longer eat orally nor manage their own oral secretion; absent swallowing mechanism so NPO/permanent tube feeding is done

New cards
20

Cerebral palsy

A neurological disorder caused by a non-progressive brain injury or malformation that occurs while the child's brain is under development

New cards
21

Epilepsy

Excessive discharge of electrical impulses, which may cause convulsions and loss of conciousness

New cards
22

Ketogenic diet using MCT oil, modified atkins diet, LGIT (low glycemic Index treatment

Dietary mgt of epilepsy

New cards
23

LGIT (low glycemic index treatment)

The LGIT allows more carbohydrate than the classic, medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) or modified Atkins ketogenic diet therapies. Children can eat 40 grams (g) to 60 g of carbohydrates per day

New cards
24

Modified Atkins Diet

The diet is a "modified" Atkins diet as it allows for less carbohydrates than the traditional Atkins diet (15 to 20 g/day) and more strongly encourages fat intake.

-For Epileptic patients

New cards
25

Seizure

Sudden, transient disturbances in brain function resulting from an abnormal firing of nerve impulses; may or may not be associated with convulsion

New cards
26

Ketogenic diet

Diet that aids in the production of ketones in the body which prevents seizures

New cards
27

3:1

K:AK ratio for adolescents and infants

New cards
28

4:1

K:AK ratio for children

New cards
29

Parkinson's disease (PD)

a chronic, degenerative central nervous disorder in which there is a progressive loss of control over movement, resulting in tremors and a shuffling gait. Decreased dopamine transmission observed.

New cards
30

Dietary protein

Macronutrient avoided at lunch or dinner for PD patients with dyskinesia (tics, involuntary muscle movement) because it can interfere absorption of levodopa

New cards
31

Foods containing l-dopa like fava, broad beans

Food to avoid for px with PD

New cards
32

L-dopa

A drug for Parkinson's disease that contains the precursors to dopamine so that once it is in the brain, it will be converted to dopamine.

New cards
33

myasthenia gravis (MG)

An automimmune disorder of the neuromuscular junction in which the immune system of the body raise a response to acetylcholine receptors. Characterized by excessive weakness and fatigability of the muscle and difficulty in speech

New cards
34

multiple sclerosis

a progressive disease of the nervous system that involves a degeneration of the myelin that surrounds nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord's nerve fibers

New cards
35

Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome

Organic brain syndrome resulting from prolonged heavy alcohol use, involving confusion, unintelligible speech, and loss of motor coordination. It may be caused by a deficiency of thiamine, a vitamin metabolized poorly by heavy drinkers.

New cards
36

Wernicke's Syndrome

Characterized by opthalmoplegia (loss of extraocular movement), ataxia (loss of full control of the bodily movements/drunk gait), and mental confusion

New cards
37

Korsakoff's syndrome

Characterized by disturbance in memor and inability to learn new things

New cards
38

Guillain-Barre Syndrome

autoimmune condition that causes acute inflammation of the peripheral nerves in which myelin sheaths on the axons are destroyed, resulting in decreased nerve impulses, loss of reflex response, and sudden muscle weakness

New cards
39

High kcal, high protein tube feeding

Dietary management for Guillan-Barre syndrome to promote positive nitrogen balance and lessen muscle wasting

New cards
40

Food allergy

an abnormal response to a food that is triggered by the immune system

New cards
41

Food intolerance

a negative reaction to a food or part of food caused by a metabolic problem, such as the inability to digest parts of certain foods or food components

New cards
42

Antigen

A protein that, when introduced in the blood, triggers the production of an antibody

New cards
43

Allergen

a substance that produces an allergic reaction in an individual

New cards
44

Milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts

Common food allergens

New cards
45

G6PD deficiency

Enzyme deficiency which leads fo Low NADPH leading to hemolytic anemia (free radicals) with bite cells and heinz bodies

New cards
46

Phenylethylamine (PEA)

Amine found in trace amounts in the brain, peaks during orgasm, floods pleasure center of the brain with dopamine (also found in chocolate, wine, and aged cheese)

New cards
47

Tyramine

Adrenergic Agonist - Indirect

Releasing agent

Cause norepinephrine release from presynaptic terminals, potentiating effects. Found in fermented food, such as ripe cheese and Chianti. Oxidized by MAO.

Adverse - If patient taking MAOI, can precipitate serious vasopressor episodes.

New cards
48

Histamine

A chemical that is responsible for the symptoms of an allergy

New cards
49

Sulfites

-A food preservative, dough conditioner, antioxidant, antimicrobial and color stabilizer

-Found in wines, dried fruits, vinegars, instant potatoes and dried veggies

New cards
50

Oral food challenge

Diagnostic test used to screen for suspected allergenic foods involvin provision of food (after elmination of allergen) followed by tracking of symptoms

New cards
51

Double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge

Gold standard for confirming diagnosis of food allergen testing. Patient and physician are blinded and food is disguised in gelatin capsule or powder mixed with tolerated food such as apple sauce

New cards
52

Single-blind food challenge

Food challenge where only patient is blinded.

New cards
53

Open food challenge

Food challenge where patient is knowingly provided with suspected food and observed

New cards
54

Elimination diet

A restrictive diet that systematically tests foods that may cause an allergic response by first eliminating them for 1 to 2 weeks and then adding them back, one at a time.

New cards
55

Desensitization therapy

Repeated exposure to stimulus which gradually reduces intense reaction. Provision of small quantities of allergen to reduce allergic response
