Transcript: Functional Medicine Case Presentation Organ Systems Interaction The interconnectedness of organ systems within the body impacts overall health and well-being. Evaluating the function and interaction of various systems helps in identifying underlying health issues and developing targeted interventions for optimal health outcomes. The GO TO IT Model The GO TO IT Model in Functional Medicine serves as a structured framework for evaluating and treating patients. It encompasses various aspects including genetics, environment, lifestyle, and more to provide a comprehensive and personalized approach to healthcare. Genetics: Key Factor in Health Utilizing the GO TO IT Model Genetic predispositions play a crucial role in determining an individual's susceptibility to certain diseases and conditions. Understanding genetic profiles enables tailored treatment plans and personalized healthcare strategies. Understanding the GO TO IT Framework The GO TO IT Model stands for Genetics, Organ systems, Toxins, Optimizers, Inflammatory contributors, and Targeted treatments. This framework allows healthcare practitioners to systematically assess and address the key factors influencing an individual's health and wellness. Integrative Therapies and Interventions Combining various integrative therapies and interventions, such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and mindfulness practices, can enhance the holistic approach to patient care in Functional Medicine. Integrative modalities address the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of health for comprehensive wellness outcomes. Follow-Up and Monitoring Process Outcomes and Future Directions Establishing a structured follow-up and monitoring process allows healthcare providers to track the progress of treatment plans, make necessary adjustments, and ensure patient compliance. Regular follow-ups help in evaluating the effectiveness of interventions and maintaining patient engagement for sustained health improvements. Tailoring Treatment to Individual Needs Evaluating patient response, progress, and long-term health management strategies are crucial aspects of Functional Medicine practice. By assessing outcomes and planning future directions, healthcare providers can continuously improve patient care and enhance overall well-being. Patient Response and Progress Personalizing treatment approaches in Functional Medicine involves considering the patient's genetic predispositions, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences. By addressing specific health needs and optimizing wellness strategies, healthcare providers can enhance the effectiveness of interventions and promote long-term health benefits. Treatment Plan and Implementation Monitoring and analyzing the patient's response to treatment interventions help in determining the effectiveness of the approach. Assessing progress towards health goals enables healthcare providers to make informed decisions, adjust treatment strategies, and ensure optimal outcomes for the patient. Long-Term Health Management Strategies Developing a tailored treatment plan based on the individual's unique health profile and needs is essential in Functional Medicine. Implementing integrative therapies, lifestyle modifications, and targeted interventions ensure a comprehensive approach to improving patient outcomes and overall well-being. Developing sustainable health management strategies involves creating personalized plans that focus on preventive care, lifestyle modifications, and ongoing support. By emphasizing long-term wellness maintenance, healthcare practitioners empower patients to take control of their health and prevent future health issues. Symptom Analysis using GO TO IT Model Diagnostic Approach Importance of Individualized Treatment Applying the GO TO IT framework allows for a systematic evaluation of the patient's symptoms from a multifaceted perspective. By considering genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, healthcare providers can determine the root causes of symptoms and develop personalized treatment plans. Case Study Presentation Utilizing advanced diagnostic tools and tests, healthcare professionals can pinpoint specific health markers and abnormalities to aid in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. The diagnostic approach in Functional Medicine focuses on identifying underlying imbalances and dysfunctions to create targeted interventions for optimal patient outcomes. Individualized treatment in Functional Medicine ensures that interventions are personalized to meet the specific needs of each patient, considering factors like genetics, lifestyle, and environment. This personalized approach leads to more targeted and successful health outcomes. Patient Background and History Presenting a comprehensive case study allows for a practical application of the GO TO IT model in a real-life context. Analyzing patient background, symptoms, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies showcases the effectiveness of Functional

Transcript: personal data 0856200 Family History Refrences Radiographic Findings The 3 children with documented donor osteoblast engraftment had a median 7.5-cm increase in body length (range, 6.5-8.0 cm) 6 months after transplantation compared with 1.25 cm (range, 1.0-1.5 cm) for age-matched control patients. These patients gained 21.0 to 65.3 g total body bone mineral content by 3 months after treatment or 45% to 77% of their baseline values. With extended follow-up, the patients' growth rates either slowed or reached a plateau phase. Bone mineral content continued to increase at a rate similar to that for weight-matched healthy children, even as growth rates declined. These results suggest that BMT from HLA-compatible donors may benefit children with severe OI.

The report describes clinical responses of the first children to undergo allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for severe osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder characterized by defective type I collagen, osteopenia, bone fragility, severe bony deformities, and growth retardation. Five children with severe OI were enrolled in a study of BMT from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)–compatible sibling donors. Linear growth, bone mineralization, and fracture rate were taken as measures of treatment response. The 3 children with documented donor osteoblast engraftment had a median 7.5-cm increase in body length (range, 6.5-8.0 cm) 6 months after transplantation compared with 1.25 cm (range, 1.0-1.5 cm) for age-matched control patients.

It is frequently caused by defect in the gene that produces type 1 collagen, an important building block of bone. There are many different defects that can affect this gene. The severity of OI depends on the specific gene defect. OI is an autosomal dominant disease. That means if you have one copy of the gene, you will have the disease. Most cases of OI are inherited from a parent, although some cases are the result of new genetic mutations. A person with OI has a 50% chance of
