About this work

Description

Dr Andrew Tomkins lectures on malnutrition. He shows how it is common among patients with gastrointestinal disease and can lead to impaired wound healing and a susceptibility to infection. Other effects of malnutrition can lead to an imbalance of electrolytes and trace-elements as well as anaemia, but the main problem is often protein-energy malnutrition. This results from either an inadequate availability or volitional intake of calories. Tomkins shows how the severity of malnutrition can be assessed and how severe malnutrition should be managed by intensive prevention measures in at-risk cases and an elemental diet or parenteral nutrition in already established cases.

Notes

This video is one of around 310 titles, originally broadcast on Channel 7 of the ILEA closed-circuit television network, given to Wellcome Trust from the University of London Audio-Visual Centre shortly after it closed in the late 1980s. Although some of these programmes might now seem rather out-dated, they probably represent the largest and most diversified body of medical video produced in any British university at this time, and give a comprehensive and fascinating view of the state of medical and surgical research and practice in the 1970s and 1980s, thus constituting a contemporary medical-historical archive of great interest. The lectures mostly take place in a small and intimate studio setting and are often face-to-face. The lecturers use a wide variety of resources to illustrate their points, including film clips, slides, graphs, animated diagrams, charts and tables as well as 3-dimensional models and display boards with movable pieces. Some of the lecturers are telegenic while some are clearly less comfortable about being recorded; all are experts in their field and show great enthusiasm to share both the latest research and the historical context of their specialist areas.
