Questions for Medical Nutrition Therapy: A Case Study Approach 5th ed. Case 8 – Gastroparesis 1. Identify the major physiological controls for gastric emptying. • Contraction and motility are major controls for gastric emptying involving autocrine, paracrine, and neuronal systems. • The interstitial cells of Cajal control the smooth muscle activity and the autonomic nervous system relays the message from input for the smooth muscle. o Neuropeptides, hormones and neurotransmitters affect…

Specific Aims / Statement of Hypotheses Aim 1: To determine the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health related quality of life (HRQoL) in adolescents with and without chronic illnesses. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that ACEs, as a precipitating factor, will decrease the quality of life in adolescents regardless of having a chronic illness or not. However, we suspect that there will be a differential effect between the two groups as we expect the presence of ACEs will exacerbate…
