Are there any different characteristics regarding Marasmus and Kwashiorkor?
Marasmus is a condition involving both severe protein deficiency and markedly inadequate intake of calories. Kwashiorkor is a condition involving severe protein deficiency, but in the context of sufficient or only mildly deficient intake of carbohydrates and calories, overall.
What are hypoxic episodes?
Hypoxic episodes refer to periods during which there is a deficiency of oxygen in the tissues, leading to inadequate oxygen supply for cellular metabolism. This condition can occur due to various factors, including respiratory issues, high altitudes, or circulatory problems. Symptoms may include fatigue, confusion, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness. Prolonged hypoxia can result in significant harm to organs, particularly the brain and heart.
What are episodes of severe chest pains called?

Is marasmus a serious condition resulting from inadequate intake of protein and energy?
Yes, marasmus is a severe form of malnutrition caused by insufficient intake of both protein and calories. It leads to severe wasting of muscle and fat tissue, stunted growth, and weakened immune system. If left untreated, marasmus can be life-threatening.

Malnourishment can result from inadequate dietary intake, while starvation is the extreme consequence of prolonged inadequate food intake.
What is hypoxia a consequence of?
Hypoxia is a condition characterized by inadequate oxygen supply to tissues and can result from various factors, including high altitudes, respiratory disorders, or impaired circulation. It may also occur due to anemia, carbon monoxide poisoning, or environmental factors like pollution. Inadequate oxygen delivery can lead to cellular dysfunction and, if severe or prolonged, can result in organ damage or failure.
What is conditon that characterized by severe lightning-like pain?
Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition characterized by severe, lightning-like pain in the face. It is caused by irritation or damage to the trigeminal nerve, which is responsible for transmitting sensation from the face to the brain. Episodes of pain can be triggered by activities such as talking, chewing, or even light touch.
What condition has severe muscle pain after a fall?
