Sharon Irving, CRNP, MSN, PhD, PNP starting off the afternoon nutrition lecture with why we call it NUTRITION THERAPY. #SCCM2023 #ICUNutrition 
Lots of metabolic changes in critical illness that prevent adequate prevention on nutrition. #SCCM2023 #ICUNutrition
Irving: depriving the gut of EN causes problems. Failing to maintain gut mucosa and microbiome causes shifts in homeostasis. #SCCM2023 #ICUNutrition
What are the goals of Medical Nutrition Therapy? Preventing #malnutrition. Since most trauma pts are young & healthy, we have a big opportunity to prevent malnutrition in this population. #SCCM2023 #ICUNutrition
Slide summary from my presentation at #COP27 about the Unique Role of Nutrient-Dense Animal Proteins for Sustainable Food Security. (thread) #meat #livestock #foodsystems #nutrition #climatechange #malnutrition #hiddenhunger #foodsecurity

3/29. Then @DLodry of @LossDamageYouth shares the powerful story of his lived experience of Non-Economic #LossAndDamage in #Cameroon called "The Tears Of A Village River And Its Population" which tells how climate-intensified #Drought can lead to a loss of #Culture and #Identity.

#Kwashiorkor is distinguished by swelling (or edema) & enlarged liver with too much fat.
It happens when your child consumes enough calories, but with insufficient #protein.
We see this in areas of famine or poor food supply as has been reported in some areas due to lockdown.2️⃣

#Marasmus is total energy deficiency in all forms, including proteins. You see mainly muscle wasting & loss of skin fat.
It can occur in anyone with severe malnutrition but usually in children.
Body weight is reduced to less than 62% of the normal (expected) for age. 3️⃣
