Wash yourhands! 3. Put the lotionon as shown by your nurse. 4. Some reminders: - Applygenerously with a clean hand to all healed areas. - Once open areasheal, you can use lotion instead of Silvadene (thermazene )or Vaseline. - Apply severaltimes during the day. - DO NOT LET YOURSKIN DRY OUT! - Use awater-based lotion. The first ingredientlisted should be water. Examplesare: Vaseline Intensive Care, Nivea, Keri, or Eucerin. Crisco shortening is also an inexpensive but very effective skinmoisturizer. You may also use cocoa butter or Vitamin E cream , but these are more expensive. Elta is another moisturizer that the NC Jaycee BurnCenter uses on healed areas. It lookswhite in the jar (or tube), but goes on clear. After washing and drying your healed wound or graft, apply a smallamount to the affected area. Let theElta melt for a minute and then rub it in. Dont worry if the area looks a little dry because Elta is supposed tosoak into your skin and should not be sticky or too greasy. Dont worry if you cant find Elta on the shelf of your drugstore. If it isnt immediatelyavailable, you can ask your pharmacist to order it for you a day or two beforeyou run out. If you do run out, you canuse mineral oil or any of the other lotions or creams mentioned on this website until you can get the Elta. Below is a list of drug stores that currently have Elta onthe shelves. We will continue to updatethis list. Bailey Pharmacy 6311W.

THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 1, Ch. 3, Vitamin Deficiency, Dependency, And Toxicity -- This Publication Is Searchable -- -- The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy Section 1. Nutritional Disorders Chapter 3. Vitamin Deficiency, Dependency, And Toxicity Topics [General] Vitamin A Deficiency Vitamin A Toxicity Vitamin D Deficiency And Dependency Vitamin D Toxicity Vitamin E Deficiency Vitamin E Toxicity Vitamin K Deficiency Vitamin K Toxicity Thiamine Deficiency And Dependency Riboflavin Deficiency Niacin Deficiency Vitamin B 6 Deficiency And Dependency Vitamin B 6 Toxicity Biotin Deficiency And Dependency Pantothenic Acid Deficiency Vitamin C Deficiency Vitamin A Deficiency Vitamin A (retinol) is fat soluble and is found mainly in fish liver oils, liver, egg yolks, butter, and cream. Green leafy and yellow vegetables contain -carotene and other provitamin carotenoids, which are converted to retinal in the mucosal cells of the small intestine. Retinal is reduced to retinol, then esterified. Most of the body's vitamin A is stored in the liver as retinyl palmitate . It is released into the circulation as retinol bound to retinol binding protein and prealbumin (transthyretin). The 11- cis isomer of retinal (vitamin A aldehyde) combines with opsin to form rhodopsin, the prosthetic group of photoreceptor pigments in the retina. In somatic cells, retinol is converted to retinoic acid, which combines with receptors that bind to DNA and regulate gene expression to maintain epithelial tissues and guide differentiation of a variety of other tissues. Biologic equivalents, for diets with different proportions of retinol and -carotene, are as follows: 1 USP U equals 1 IU; 1 IU equals 0.3 µg of retinol; 1 µg of -carotene equals 0.167 µg of retinol. Other provitamin carotenoids are half as active as -carotene. Synthetic vitamin analogs (retinoids) are used increasingly in dermatology. The possible protective role of -carotene, retinol, and retinoids against some epithelial cancers is under investigation. Etiology Primary vitamin A deficiency is usually caused by prolonged dietary deprivation. It is endemic in areas, such as southern and eastern Asia, where rice, devoid of carotene, is the staple. Secondary vitamin A deficiency may be due to inadequate conversion of carotene to vitamin A or to interference with absorption, storage, or transport of vitamin A. Interference with absorption or storage is likely in celiac disease, sprue, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic disease, duodenal bypass, congenital partial obstruction of the jejunum, obstruction of the bile ducts, giardiasis, and cirrhosis. Vitamin A deficiency is common in protein-energy malnutrition (marasmus or kwashiorkor), principally because the diet is deficient but also because vitamin A storage and transport are defective. Symptoms and Signs The severity of the effects of vitamin A deficiency is inversely related to age. Growth retardation is a common sign in children. Inadequate intake or utilization of vitamin A can cause impaired dark adaptation and night blindness; xerosis of the conjunctiva and cornea; xerophthalmia and keratomalacia; keratinization of lung, GI tract, and urinary tract epithelia; increased susceptibility to infections; and sometimes death. Follicular hyperkeratosis of the skin is common. Pathognomonic changes are confined to the eye (see Keratomalacia in Ch. 96). The earliest change, rod dysfunction, can be detected by dark adaptometry, rod scotometry, or electroretinography (these tests require cooperative subjects). Dysfunction of the retina is followed by changes in the structure and function of epithelial cells. Xerosis of the bulbar conjunctiva consists of drying, thickening, wrinkling, and muddy pigmentation; the cornea becomes xerotic, infiltrated, and hazy at an early stage. Keratomalacia rapidly supervenes with liquefaction of part or all of the cornea, leading to rupture, with extrusion of the eye contents and subsequent shrinking of the globe (phthisis bulbi), or to anterior bulging (corneal ectasia and anterior staphyloma) and blindness. Bitot's spots (superficial foamy patches composed of epithelial debris and secretions on the exposed bulbar conjunctiva) occur in advanced deficiency; they are most likely due to vitamin A deficiency when they occur in young children who have other indications of vitamin A deficiency. In severe vitamin A deficiency in children, mortality can be 50% or more. Laboratory Findings and Diagnosis Evidence of vitamin A depletion is unobtainable in the preclinical stage, except for a history of inadequate intake. Plasma retinol levels fall after liver stores are exhausted. The normal range is 20 to 80 µg/dL (0.7 to 2.8 µmol/L); 10 to 19 µg/dL (0.35 to 0.66 µmol/L) is low, and < 10 µg/dL (< 0.35 µmol/L) is deficient. Mean plasma retinol binding protein (RBP) is 47 µg/mL for adult males and 42 µg/mL for adult females. Up to the age of 10 yr, the range is 20 to 30 µg/mL. Plasma levels of vitamin A and RBP fall in deficiency states and in acute infections. Other causes of night blindness (eg, retinitis pigmentosa) must be excluded. Secondary infection may complicate the corneal changes. Trial with therapeutic doses of vitamin A assists in the diagnosis. Prophylaxis Xerophthalmia is the major cause of blindness among young children in most developing countries, where prophylactic doses of 66,000 µg (200,000 IU) of vitamin A palmitate in oil orally once every 3 to 6 mo are advised for all children aged 1 to 4 yr; the dose is halved for those < 1 yr. The diet should include dark green leafy vegetables and yellow fruits, such as mango and papaw. Bread, sugar, and monosodium glutamate are fortified with vitamin A. For secondary deficiency, vitamin A supplements should be given routinely. Infants suspected of being allergic to milk should be given adequate vitamin A in the substitute formula. Treatment The cause should be corrected, and vitamin A should be given in therapeutic doses at once. Oral vitamin A palmitate in oil 20,000 µg (60,000 IU) daily for 2 days and once before discharge from the hospital after 7 to 10 days is usually effective. In the presence of vomiting or malabsorption, water-miscible vitamin A must be given IM (oil preparations are not used IM). Thereafter, 3,200 to 8,000 µg (10,000 to 25,000 IU)/day is given orally in three divided doses as cod liver oil, red palm oil, or another concentrate. Prolonged daily administration of large doses, especially to infants, must be avoided because toxicity may result. During pregnancy and lactation, prophylactic or therapeutic doses should not exceed two times the RDA to avoid possible damage to the fetus. --
