Re: The GS Health and Fitness Dictionary!!!

umm could it be that it's cancer of melanocytes - which are cells that produce melanin

Re: The GS Health and Fitness Dictionary!!!

Yes.

Skin cancer is of different types, not just melanoma.

Khumar gave that hint also.

Re: The GS Health and Fitness Dictionary!!!

canadiandesigirl · December 4, 2010, 11:50pm

Re: The GS Health and Fitness Dictionary!!!

yaay! Yes its protein energy malnautrition (PEM) and the bloated belly is due to edema.

Re: The GS Health and Fitness Dictionary!!!

Yes. To Philosophy.
So what would be a related disease Marasmus? Anyone?

Missing Niki and Shak here.

Re: The GS Health and Fitness Dictionary!!!

Yes marasmus is a related disease and it is characterized by energy deficiency. In this case the person looks very weak and anorexic and always under weight and no bloated belly due to edema.
