Sacrosidase Study

767 Words4 Pages

The objective is to characterize the dietary intakes of patients treated with sacrosidase for SID and determine relationships between type of carbohydrates, sacrosidase dose, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Forty-nine English-speaking patients treated with sacrosidase for > 3 months were recruited to participate in this 30-day observation study. Dietary energy and nutrient intakes reported during 24-hour diet recall interviews, frequency and severity of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, and Sacrosidase dose.

Energy intakes averaged 1,562.5+411.5 kcal/day in children, 1,964.7+823.6 kcal/day in adolescents, and 1,952.6+546.5 kcal/day in adults. Macronutrient composition averaged 44% carbohydrate, 39% fat, and 17% protein. Average carbohydrate composition …show more content…

It is conceivable that foods rich in potassium would be restricted by patients treated for SID due to their high starch or sucrose content. In addition to potassium, intakes of calcium, magnesium, and folate were also insufficient. It is likely that participants with lactose intolerance or those experiencing continued diarrhea were avoiding diary products, which may account for the insufficient intake of calcium.

Weakness: Some of the study’s limitations include a small sample size particularly when divided by life stage group. It is unclear whether the findings would differ in the case that participants were stratified by genetic diversity because current evidence has not confirmed that genetic diversity in SID produces phenotypic differences in intestinal function or gastrointestinal symptoms.

    When the patient is sent home, the goal is to prevent readmission to the hospital due to complications of SCD. Sammy’s poor decisions leading up to this ER admission and past medical history should be discussed in detail with the patient. The nurse should also address possible triggers of a sickle cell crisis with the patient. (Reddin et al., 2011). In Sammy’s case, discarding lunches and drinks at school significantly contributed to being dehydrated making this one of his triggers.

    Additionally, calcium and iron just barley met the DRI. I eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, therefore increasing the amounts of minerals that intake each day. 2. Deficiencies in potassium include “elevation of blood pressure, an increase in salt sensitivity, muscle weakness, kidney stone increase, increased burn turnover, and glucose intolerance”(Pinna 246). As for calcium deficiency, symptoms include “stunted growth in children”(Pinna246), which is unlikely to impact me since I am an adult, and bone loss.

    This is important to remember down the road because instead of waiting uncomfortably, you or your patient could remember the symptoms and suggest to your doctor that you think it might be inflammatory bowel disease. This would save time and discomfort. I was also informed during the discussion how hygiene can have an impact on Crohn’s disease because it will affect the immune system. A fact that I found interesting is that inflammatory bowel disease can be caused by hereditary through your genes, but also because of your smoking status. This is just another reason why people should not smoke.

    The importance of preventing and managing chronic diseases, which include renal failure and cardiovascular diseases, along with their risk factors are emphasized by the Department of Chronic Disease and Health Promotion of the World Health Organization (Desroches, Lapointe, Ratté, Gravel, Légaré, & Turcotte, 2013). However, there is evidence in literature showing a gap of knowledge in the kinds of educational interventions being considered as most effective in compliance to dietary regimen. The study by Desroches et al., 2013 states that there are limitations to their study including that being a short duration, low quality and adherence measures varied widely (Desroches et al., 2013) Hence, these limitations assisted in the generation of research questions, which are: 1) Which educational interventions being used show reliability in compliance or adherence to dietary regimen; 2) What are the detrimental factors contributing to low compliance to dietary regimen among patients with ESRD and CHF; and 3) Can a study performed in a longer length of time produce a higher rate of compliance to dietary regimen among patients with ESRD and

    As such, it is important to ask the patients what alternative methods they are utilizing in order to properly advise them against harmful practices, though, as Juckett (2013) states, many folk and herbal treatments are harmless and can be safely accommodated. Other beliefs include that abdominal pain may be attributed to food stuck in the intestine and that a child’s failure to thrive may be caused by a hex given to the child due to an envious glance. Again, though most therapies and responses to illness and disease are not harmless, lead salts and mercury compounds may be given for food stuck in the intestine and teething. These therapies are not advised to be used (Juckett, 2013). As with illness and disease, Hispanic culture responds to death in its own

Many healthcare agencies and associations are struggling to come up with strategies that are easy to implement regarding cultural competence. In the world of nursing, the realization of the need for nurses to have a profound understanding and respect for their patient’s life but also for their race and cultural values to make their patient a person and not a room number is improving but not fast enough. In order for nurses to provide the best care for their patient, they must be sensitive to all aspects of that patient’s life which include the
