Answer to Question 1

It appears to be similar to a fatty liver caused by alcoholic cirrhosis in that the liver cannot metabolize the large amount of fatty acids being presented to it and they end up being deposited in the liver. The low carbohydrate in the diet will result is less insulin being produced and thus less fat synthesis for fat deposit in adipose tissue, which is the purpose for low-carbohydrate diets. Possibly, this is complicating the issue and causing more fatty acids to be released into the blood by adipose tissue.

Answer to Question 2

Steatorrhea: diarrhea with a high concentration of fat in the stools.

Bronchiectasis: dilatation of a bronchus or bronchi, usually secreting large amounts of pus.

Atelectasis: a collapsed or airless condition of the lung; may be caused by obstruction by foreign bodies, mucous plugs or excessive secretions.

Did you know?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
