N: 1. – nutritional (adj): From noun “nutrition” (1550s, “act or process by which organisms absorb their proper food into their systems and build it into living tissue,” from Old French nutrition (14c.) and directly from Latin nutritionem -nominative nutritio), and suffix “-al” (suffix forming adjectives from nouns or other adjectives, “of, like, related to, pertaining to,” Middle English –al, –el, from French or directly from Latin –alis).
– edema (n): also oedema, “excessive accumulation of serum in tissue spaces or a body cavity,” c. 1400, idema, “a swelling filled with phlegmatic humors,” from medical Latin, from Greek oidēma (genitive oidēmatos) “a swelling tumor,” from oidein “to swell,” from oidos “tumor, swelling,” from PIE *oid- “to swell,” source also of Latin aemidus “swelling;” Armenian aitumn “a swelling,” aytnum “to swell;” Old Norse eista “testicle,” Old High German eittar “pus,” Old English attor “poison” (that which makes the body swell), and the first element in Oedipus.
2. A form of swelling caused by insufficient protein intake resulting in hypoproteinemia and low plasma oncotic pressure.
3. Nutritional edema is apparently another type of edema in which the mechanism of its production is related to the low level of plasma proteins, similar to that of nephrosis and plasmapheresis. In nutritional edema, however, the lowered plasma proteins are brought about by a deficiency in protein in diet. Denton and Kohman produced edema in a large proportion of rats fed largely on carrots. This work was confirmed by Frisch, Mendel and Peters, who in addition showed that the plasma proteins were low in their rats. Recently Shelburne and Egloff succeeded in producing edema in a dog fed on a low protein diet. We add the following preliminary report of a study on the nitrogen balance, plasma proteins and extent of edema in 2 cases of nutritional edema under the influence of different dietary regimes.
