Abstract:
• Vitamin deficiency 58• Mineral deficiency 61• Trace element deficiency 62• Vitamin supplementation for infants and young children 64The term ‘micronutrients’ includes two main classes of nutrient substances required in the diet in very small amounts: the essential organic micronutrients (vitamins) and the essential inorganic micronutrients (trace elements). Vitamin and mineral deficiencies may complicate malnutrition arising from underlying disease or inadequate diet. Key features are given below. However, micronutrients have wide-ranging effects, far beyond the simple prevention of deficiency states....

Abstract:
Disorders of bone mineralization cause rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Both remain common in developing countries. Incidence in Western countries had declined since the fortification of foodstuffs, but appears to be increasing again. Calcium and inorganic phosphate are the key precursors for bone mineralization and growth. The commonest aetiology of osteomalacia is vitamin D deficiency, primarily due to low dietary intake and inadequate sun exposure. In the last decade gene mutations have been identified that are responsible for inherited rickets and osteomalacia, particularly those that result in phosphate deficiency, hypophosphatasia, and vitamin D receptor or metabolizing enzyme mutations. Additionally, the pathogenesis of tumour-induced osteomalacia is becoming better understood. Osteomalacia may present as bone pain and tenderness, muscle pain and weakness, and skeletal deformity or fracture. Key investigations include biochemical assessment and plain radiographs. Radioisotope bone scans and bone biopsy may be considered in selected cases. Differential diagnoses include osteoporosis, seronegative arthritides, and localized soft tissue disorders. Treatment, guided by the underlying aetiology, aims to reduce symptoms, fracture risk, bone deformity and sequelae. Vitamin D deficient patients require vitamin D and calcium replacement.

Abstract:
This chapter begins with an explanation of the pathophysiological correlations between the recorded changes and the underlying diagnosis which allow classification into demyelinating and axonal neuropathy. Demyelinating neuropathies are discussed first. The extensive and ever expanding literature in hereditary neuropathies is highlighted. The different variants of the acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy encountered in children are discussed along with the electrodiagnostic criteria for the diagnosis. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is then covered, both in its clinical presentation and electrodiagnosis. Other causes such as MNGIE and Lyme disease are highlighted. In the section on axonal neuropathy, division into hereditary and acquired is made. The diagnosis of sensorimotor hereditary neuropathies is discussed along with primarily sensory neuropathies including ataxia telangiectasia, Friedreich’s ataxia, and abetalipoproteinaemia, finishing with discussion of the hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies. The many different causes of acquired axonal neuropathy are listed and discussed including neoplasia, endocrine disturbances, metabolic conditions, infective agents, autoimmune conditions, mitochondrial disease, drugs, and vitamin deficiency, finishing with critical illness neuromyopathy.
