23
Q

Breast Milk vs Cow Milk

Lactose and Calcium content differences

A

Both are about 88% water:

Human milk:
- 7% CARBOHYDRATE, 1.3% protein, and 4.1% FAT.

Cow milk:
- 4.5% carbohydrate, 3.3% PROTEIN, and 3.9% fat.

Human milk has a very high concentration of lactose compared to cows’ milk

Human milk contains less calcium than cow’s milk, but the calcium in human milk has over twice the bioavailability of the calcium in cow’s milk. (cow milk 4x amount of human milk)

Increasing mom’s calcium intake does NOT increase the amount of calcium in her milk – mom’s milk has the right amount of calcium even if mom does not get enough in her diet.

Cow’s milk contains very little iron, Vit C, Vit D, Vit A

24
Q

How is an allergic reaction to cow milk discovered?

A

Common among infants, and cow’s milk-induced intestinal bleeding as an allergic response is a well recognised cause of rectal bleeding in infancy.
This blood loss can affect the iron nutritional status of the infant and in many cases may lead to anemia.

25
Q

Smokeless Tobacco can what type of Keratosis?

A

Mucosal Keratosis
Leukoplakia

The histological findings of STK though not unique have characteristic findings.
The keratin surface is either parakeratotic or orthokeratotic with spires of chevron parakeratosis imparting a wavy appearance to the keratin surface.
The epithelium is acanthotic and cells in the spinous layer may show vacuolated cytoplasm.
In most STK, no epithelial dysplasia is identified although the basal layer nuclei may be hyperchromatic. The connective tissue can be uninvolved in STK with little to minimal inflammation.

26
Q

Sucrose, Glucose, Fructose

Which is the least cariogenic?

A

Fructose

27

40
Q

BPA

What does it increase?
Where is it found?

A

BPA stands for bisphenol A.
BPA is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and RESINS since the 1960s. BPA is found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins.

BPA is a xenoestrogen, exhibiting ESTROGEN-mimicking, hormone-like properties.

BPA is released from dental resins through salivary enzymatic hydrolysis of BPA derivatives, and BPA is detectable in saliva for up to 3 hours after resin placement.

bis-GMA are less likely to be hydrolyzed to BPA and have less estrogenicity than those containing bisphenol A dimethacrylate bis-DMA

45
Q

Breast-Feeding Lowers the Frequency and Duration of Acute Respiratory Infection and Diarrhea in Infants under Six Months of Age.

Q

SIDS

1-1, 2-3M

Increased Risk?

A

1-1, 2-3M, FORMULA ⬆️, SMOKING ⬆️, BREASTFEEDING ⬇️, PACIFIER ⬇️

Leading cause of death in children between one month and one year of age.

The risk for SIDS peaks between 2 and 3 months of age, and it occurs more often in MALES infants than in females.

Risk ⬆️

  • formula-fed babies have a doubled overall infant death risk, and 4-fold risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
  • Babies born to women who smoked during pregnancy die from SIDS three times more often than babies born to nonsmokers. Smoking when you’re pregnant is a major risk factor for SIDS, and secondhand smoke around your infant also increases the chances of SIDS.
  • Breastfeeding your baby can lower the risk of SIDS by as much as 50%
