Failure to do so results in their immune system producing antibodies which attacks the lining of their bowel causing them to have abdominal pains, constipation/diarrhoea, bloating, difficulty in gaining weight in childhood or maintaining weight in adulthood and anaemia. Because it affects the way their body can absorb nutrients it can also lead to osteoporosis and increase their risk of bowel cancer. Some foods can be bought that are labelled ‘gluten free’ but tend to be more expensive. • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the term used to describe a condition when on inspection of the bowel everything seems normal, but the person suffers with symptoms like abdominal pain, flatulence, bloating and constipation/diarrhoea. The person may want to keep a food diary to help discover which foods make their condition worse and avoid them in the future.
Level 2 Diploma in Health and Social Care * Contribute to the support of infection prevention and control in social care 1.1 Identify how infections are spread. There are many practices that can lead to the spread of infection. Here are a few: not washing hands, sharing personal items such as towels, toothbrushes, etc. , unsafe food practices, not keeping up to date with vaccines, and not covering coughs and sneezes properly. 1.2 Describe how breaking the chain of infection minimizes the spread of infection.
An ACE inhibitor medication inhibits the enzyme that allows this conversion to occur, and therefore, decreases blood pressure. Nursing responsibilities prior to administration: Monitor BP and potassium level (for hyperkalemia). A persistent cough is a common side effect of ACE inhibitors. Angioedema is a rare, but serious side effect. Do not use during pregnancy!
An allergic reaction is the body’s response to something it is sensitive to. The immune system fights the source of the allergy and tries to get rid of what it thinks is a threat. The most common foods that children are allergic to are the following nuts, dairy, eggs, wheat and soya. These can be found in such things as milk, bread and nuts can be hidden in foods so you much check before using to make sure it is nut free. If a child has an allergy then there would be a record of this as the parents or carers would have let them settings know before the child started that they had an allergy.
Food Irradiation and Its Effects on Consumer Health Food irradiation is a process that the food industry uses to reduce harmful, disease causing bacteria and increase the shelf life of foods by destroying decay causing microbes. While this process has been proven to be safe by the Center for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration, public misconception of the process has created doubts as to its safety and effectiveness. Through public awareness and education of this process, many concerns and misbeliefs can be dispelled. Food irradiation is performed using three different technologies, using three different kind of rays: gamma rays, x-rays, and electron beams. The different uses will depend on the food being irradiated as each technology has strengths and weaknesses.
E.g. of antibiotic Penicillin G Damage the cell membrane: causes the cell to take up too much water and lyse by increasing the permeability of the cell membrane. E.g. of antibiotic is Polymyxin B Interfere with protein synthesis: prevents the productions of protein in the invading bacterial cells. E.g.
This will lead to degradation of adenine nucleotides. This, then leads to concomitant hypoglycemia. This can lead to liver damage. The specific substrate acted on by adolase B is F1P (Fructose 1 phosphate). When the aldolase B is not functioning, we cannot process F1P, which causes an accumulation of F1P in the liver.
A food allergy is what occurs when the body’s immune system mistakes a food item for a threat to it and causes the allergic reaction to occur. When an allergic reaction to a food occurs the body produces large amounts of immunoglobulin E or IgE for short. When this antibody is produced it releases chemicals into the body that cause the symptoms of an allergic reaction to attempt to fight the threat. Food allergies differ from food intolerances because of this antibody. Intolerance will cause similar symptoms but does not affect the immune system.
A drug allergy may also occur without your body producing antibody Instead, it might produce other types of antibodies, or have other reactions that do not produce antibodies. Most drug allergies cause minor skin rashes and hives. Serum sickness is a delayed type of drug allergy that occurs a week or more after you are exposed to a medication or vaccine. Common allergy-causing drugs include: Anticonvulsants Insulin (especially animal sources of insulin) Penicillin and related antibiotics Most side effects of drugs are not due to an allergic reaction. For example, aspirin can cause non allergic hives or trigger asthma.
The reason why this happen is some people’s body is will produce antibodies to against the protein in some foods which will trigger reactions and cause hives, swelling around the mouth, diarrhea, vomiting and itchiness. Sometimes it can cause more serious and dangerous reactions such as hard breathing, swelling in throat, dizziness or collapse which can cause the person to death. A report shows that 7 deaths cause by food anaphylaxis was found during
