Answer to Question 1

 Meal content/size: large meals with high fat, protein, and fiber content decreases the rate of gastric emptying by their stimulatory effects on hormonal secretions
 Hormones/Neuropeptides:
- Gastrin: protein, peptides, amino acids, coffee, alcohol, gastric distention and vagal stimulation will stimulate its release, which will cause an increase in gastric acid secretion and gastric motility, while decreasing gastric emptying.
- Secretin: acid in the duodenum will result in its secretion and its inhibitory effects on gastric emptying
- Cholecystokinin: fat in the duodenum (and protein to a lesser extent) will result in its secretion and cause its inhibitory effects on gastric emptying.
- Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide will inhibit gastric emptying and motility during interdigestive states and is stimulated by serum glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids
 Vagal Stimulation/Enteric Nervous System: Parasympathetic activity indirectly effects gastric motility via the enteric nervous system. This will result in the tonic contractions needed to propel and break up food particles to move towards the pyloric sphincter in sizes no larger than 2 mm.

Answer to Question 2

 The limitations of standard height and weight measurement tools in CP patients include:
- Limb contractures
- Scoliosis
- Muscle spasms
- Inability to stand
 For children less than 2 yrs of age, recumbent length can be obtained on a length board
 Stature is used for individuals from 2 to 20 yrs of age. CP patients may require use of alternative methods to estimate height such as:
-
- Knee height
-
- Arm span
- Tibia length
- Upper-arm length
 Specialized scales using handrails or ones that can be used with a wheelchair may be needed for CP patients. Some other types of available scales include: chair, bucket, and bed scales.
 Otherwise, a parent or caregiver may be needed to hold the child while obtaining the weight and then have their weight subtracted from that value.
 Other anthropometric measurements of utility:
- Head circumference for those of < 2 yrs of age
- Triceps skinfolds may be useful as an indicator of malnutrition in CP patients, applying a cut-off value of < 10th percentile. .
- Bioelectrical impedance (though no validated equations are available for CP patients to determine LBM)

Did you know?

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. As of yet, there is no cure. Everyone is at risk, and there may be no warning signs. It is six to eight times more common in African Americans than in whites. The best and most effective way to detect glaucoma is to receive a dilated eye examination.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.

Did you know?

Most fungi that pathogenically affect humans live in soil. If a person is not healthy, has an open wound, or is immunocompromised, a fungal infection can be very aggressive.

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Eating carrots will improve your eyesight. Carrots are high in vitamin A (retinol), which is essential for good vision. It can also be found in milk, cheese, egg yolks, and liver.
