A

Fluid Balance

54
Q

occurs when protein deprivation is relatively greater than the reduction in total calories. It is frequently seen in children after weaning at about one year of age, when their diet consists predominantly of carbohydrates. Typical symptoms include stunted growth, edema, skin lesions, depigmented hair, anorexia, enlarged fatty liver, and decreased plasma albumin concentration. Edema results from the lack of adequate plasma proteins (albumin) to maintain the distribution of water between blood and tissues. Edema may mask muscle loss.

A

Kwashiorkor

55
Q

occurs when calorie deprivation is relatively greater than the reduction in protein. It usually occurs in children younger than 1 year of age when breast milk is supplemented with watery gruels of native cereals that are usually deficient in protein and calories. Typical symptoms include arrested growth, extreme muscle wasting (emaciation), weakness, and anemia

A

Marasmus

56
Q

accumulation of insoluble, long, fibrillar protein assemblies consisting of β-pleated sheets caused by abnormal proteolytic cleavage.

A

Amyloidosis

57
Q

amyloid plaque caused by accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ), a peptide containing 40–42 amino acid residues, which are nonbranching fibrils of Beta pleated sheet. These peptides are neurotoxic, and is the central pathogenic event leading to the cognitive impairment characteristic of the disease. A second biologic factor is the accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles inside neurons. A key component of these tangled fibers is an abnormal form of the tau (τ) protein, which in its healthy version helps in the assembly of the microtubular structure. The defective τ, however, appears to block the actions of its normal counterpart.

A

Alzheimer disease

58
Q

has been strongly implicated as the causative agent of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) (group of rare degenerative brain disorders characterized by tiny holes that give the brain a “spongy” appearance) , including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, scrapie in sheep, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle (popularly called “mad cow disease”)
