Wednesday Review Is here! πŸ‘€ 🧐 Q: Which disease is related to inadequate food intake in children younger than 18 months old? (A). Phenylketonuria (B). Marasmus (C). Kwashiorkor 😎 Keywords: younger than 18 months old The definitions for the answer choices are as follows: πŸ‘‰ Kwashiorkor: a severe protein deficiency; begins around age two. Symptoms include apathy, failure to grow and gain weight, listlessness, changes in hair color, and edema in abdomen and legs. πŸ‘‰ Phenylketonuria: the liver cannot metabolize essential amino acid phenylamine into nonessential amino acid tyrosine; toxic by-products build up in the body and damage the developing nervous system of infants, causing intellectual disability. πŸ‘‰ Marasmus: an inadequate food intake; most common in children aged 6-18 months from impoverished nations; impairs brain development and learning; mainly causes severe wasting and weakening of muscles; no edema. πŸ‘‰ Addison's Disease: an adrenal insufficiency by the adrenal glands; cortisol and aldosterone insufficiency. 😎 Answer: (B). Marasmus The image illustrates the main differences between Kwashiorkor and Marasmus. Take five seconds to focus on this information as it can help you during the Dental Hygiene Board Exams (NBDHE, NDHCE). The child on the left has β€œswelling” in the abdomen and is around two years of age. The child on the right has NO swelling, is super skinny, and younger than two years of age. πŸ˜‰ Wake Up Memory Technique (WMT) for the dental hygiene boards 🧠 Memory tip: See the two β€œo”s in the word kwashiorkor. The β€œo” represents the swollen belly, and since there are two of them in the word describing the condition, you can remember that kwashiorkor disease affects children around 2 of age. Then it becomes easier to remember marasmus – you don’t see any β€œo” (swollen belly). Those extremely simple memory tricks can make all the difference when you go to your board exams. #studentrdh #success #successandnothingless #bestboardsprepever #number1

Since we use it every day in dentistry, here are tips on when to use each type of local anesthesia! β€’ πŸ”΄2% Lidocaine with 1:100,000 epi Most commonly used anesthesia for intraoral injections, good efficacy. Good for maxillary infiltration, nerve blocks, PDL, etc. Safe for use in pregnancy. β€’ 🟑4% Articaine with 1:100,000 epi Great ability to diffuse which makes it more optimal for mandibular infiltrations. Can be used for IANB although some research suggests the potential for increased risk of paresthesia. β€’ βšͺ3% Mepivacaine Plain Good for injection around an abscess due to its higher pH. Best anesthesia for patients with heart conditions where limited epi is recommended. β€’ πŸ”΅0.5% Bupivacaine w/ 1:200,000 epi Great for use before or after extractions & other surgery to help with post op pain management due to its long duration.
