Nutritional Considerations for Adolescents
Adolescents undergo rapid physical, hormonal, and cognitive growth, making proper nutrition essential for their development. A well-balanced diet rich in proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals supports muscle growth, bone health, and energy levels. Key nutrients like calcium and vitamin D are crucial for bone development, while iron and folate help in red blood cell production and cognitive function. Inadequate nutrition during adolescence can lead to long-term health issues like stunted growth, obesity, and poor mental health. Encouraging healthy eating habits and limiting processed foods can promote overall well-being during this critical stage.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
