Elsa is an 11-month-old girl. Her parents have brought her to her pediatrician because they have noticed she seems lethargic and pale. Both parents have noticed that she appears bloated, doesn’t want to eat as much as she has before, and is tired and “cranky all the time.” They suspected she might be suffering from anemia, since she was being fed a low-iron formula, so they had switched to a high-iron formula. The change made no difference in her symptoms. The pediatrician notes that Elsa’s belly appears swollen. Her vital signs show that her temperature is normal and her heart rate is on the low end of the normal range for her age. She has dropped from the 50th percentile in height and weight (at her last check-up) to the 10th percentile in both height and weight. Blood test results: Hemoglobin: 5 g/dl RBC: 4.6x106 cells/ml MCV: 65 WBC: 18,000 cells/microliter Platelet count: 250,000 As Elsa gets older, which of the following choices is NOT a likely complication of her…

Learning Outcome: Obesity and related disorders can be treated non-inva-sively with use of dietary measures such as omega-3 fatty acids. Introduction: Obesity is a serious risk factor for chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases (CVD), type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. While treatment of obesity requires a multi-factorial approach, effective diet and exercise interventions play a large role in reducing disease risk. One approach receiving clinical attention is the use of omega-3 fats. Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids exert a cardio-protective effect resulting in reduced morbidity/mortality. Methods: A randomized case-control study was conducted to assess the effects of dietary omega-3 fats and exercise on CVD markers. Per FDA recom-mendations, participants consumed 1-2 grams of dietary omega-3 fats/day. Blood samples were obtained pre- and post-intervention to determine indicators such as lipids and HBA1C. Additionally, diet history, physical activity, and…

A 6-year-old boy is brought to the physician by his mother because of intermittent upper abdominal pain during the past 5 weeks and a rash for 1 week. Vital signs are normal. Physical examination shows yellow nodules over the extensor surfaces of the upper extremities. There's hepatomegaly and tenderness on palpation of the epigastric region. Serum studies show an increased amylase activity, increased chylomicron concentration, and a markedly increased triglyceride concentration. 3 months after beginning a fat-restricted diet, his serum chylomicron and triglyceride concentration decreased significantly, and the skin lesions resolve. A deficiency of which of the following enzymes is the most likely cause of these findings? a. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase b. HMG-CoA lyase c. HMG-CoA reductase d. Hormone-sensitive lipase e.
