ABSTRACT
The skin pathologies of nutritional origin either due to alterations in intestinal absorption of some nutrients or genetic predispositions affecting its absorption; nutritional deficiencies may occur by poor development of both home and commercial diets; although at present are not as common for the regulation of food is balanced and demands by control agencies in each country. These conditions are related to some vitamins such as A, D, E and C, essential fatty acids, proteins, and certain minerals such as zinc. Among dermatological diseases and clinical signs include food allergies, dry and oily seborrhea, scaling, follicular plugging, hair loss and dull, dry coat, among others. The aim of this review is closer to the vet to the causes of dermatologic disease of nutritional origin clinical, since alterations of the skin in general are very common in the veterinary clinic for small animals and we need to recognize all the pathologies and treat appropriately
Las patologías de la piel de origen nutricional se deben a ya sea alteraciones en la absorción intestinal de algunos nutrientes o por predisposiciones genéticas que afectan su absorción; se pueden producir deficiencias nutricionales por la mala elaboración de las dietas tanto caseras como comerciales; aunque en la actualidad no son tan comunes por la regulación que se hace de los alimentos balanceados y las exigencias por parte de los entes de control en cada país. Estas patologías están relacionadas con algunas vitaminas como la A, D, E y C, ácidos grasos esenciales, proteínas, y algunos minerales como es el caso del zinc. Entre las patologías dermatológicas y signos clínicos se incluyen: alergias alimentarias, seborrea seca y oleosa, descamación, tapones foliculares, caída de pelo y manto opaco y seco, entre otras. El objetivo de esta revisión es acercar más al clínico veterinario a las causas de enfermedad dermatológica de origen nutricional, ya que las alteraciones de la piel en general son muy comunes en la clínica veterinaria de los pequeños animales y se hace necesario reconocer todas las patologías y tratarlas de forma apropiada.
As patologias da pele de origem nutricional, quer devido a alterações na absorção intestinal de alguns nutrientes ou predisposições genéticas que afetam sua absorção; deficiências nutricionais podem ocorrer por falta de desenvolvimento de casa e dietas comerciais; embora, atualmente, n ão s ão t ão comuns para a regulação da alimentação é balanceada e demandas por serviços de controlo em cada país. Estas condições est ão relacionados com algumas vitaminas tais como A, D, E e C, ácidos gordos essenciais, proteínas, e determinados minerais tais como o zinco. Entre as doenças dermatológicas e sinais clínicos incluem: alergias alimentares, seborréia seca e oleosa, descamação, tamponamento folicular, perda de cabelo e maçante, revestimento seco, entre outros. O objetivo desta revis ão é mais próximo ao veterinário para as causas da doença dermatológica de origem nutricional clínica, uma vez que alterações da pele, em geral, s ão muito comuns na clínica veterinária de pequenos animais e precisamos reconhecer todas as patologias e tratar adequadamente
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: A life threatening systemic anaphylaxis can be caused by a food allergy, and the complete avoidance of all foods containing problematic allergens is the only way to manage food allergies. To prevent unexpected exposure to causative foods, food labeling systems have developed and are used in Korea. This study was conducted to evaluate the consumer's use and satisfaction of food labels, and to make recommendations for improving food labels. METHODS: A total of 962 subjects from 7 university hospitals, 130 adults had adverse food reactions (adult-AFR), 177 parents of children/adolescents that had AFR (parent-AFR), and 655 adults did not have AFR or no family history of AFR (no-AFR), were enrolled. We evaluated the use and satisfaction of food labels using a questionnaire. RESULTS: Only 25.4% of adult-AFR and 49.7% of parent-AFR, read food labels. Over 73% of the subjects were not satisfied with current labeling system, and the information was thought to be difficult to find or read, incorrect or insufficient, and required more information. The major suspected causes of AFR in adults were peach, egg, milk, mackerel, peanut/tree nuts, crab, shrimp and milk, peach, shrimp, pork and peanut/tree nuts in children/adolescent. Among the 12 foods enrolled in Korean allergic food labeling system, from the consumer's aspects, the most important items were egg, milk, peanut, mackerel and pork. CONCLUSION: The consumer's use and satisfaction of allergic food labels was very low. Thus, we need to improve consumer's accessibility and develop an education and information system for food labels.
