Question 2

Ling, a young girl from China, is taken to her pediatrician by her parents because she is extremely tired and irritable, and is showing signs of developmental delay. During the examination, the doctor notices that Ling has very brittle nails, has very thin hair, and has a distinct odor to her breath. Knowing that dietary deficiencies are common for people from Ling's village, blood tests are run. What mineral deficiency and disease is she most likely suffering from? What foods would you suggest she incorporate to improve her condition?

C

Answer to Question 2

Ling most likely has a deficiency of selenium and has Keshan Disease. In order to rectify this deficiency, Ling should eat more seafood, liver and other meats if possible, and whole grains, particularly imported from other regions of the world where selenium levels in the soil are high.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
