Scurvy is a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C in the diet. It was historically common among sailors and pirates who went long periods without fresh fruits and vegetables. Symptoms of scurvy include bleeding gums, bruising easily, and fatigue. While almost anyone can develop scurvy by not consuming enough vitamin C, it was especially prevalent in sailors and pirates due to their diets lacking this essential nutrient during long sea voyages before modern refrigeration. May 2nd is recognized as Scurvy Prevention Day to promote consuming citrus fruits and other vitamin C sources to avoid this malady.

Symptoms include spots and bleeding in the skin and gums, pale appearance, depression, and immobilization. Advanced scurvy causes open, infected wounds and tooth loss. Scurvy can be prevented by consuming citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, or other foods containing vitamin C such as berries, peppers, and vegetables. Treatment involves taking vitamin C supplements.
Vitamin c by roomana , munaza and ayesha
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential for human health. It acts as an antioxidant in the body and is necessary for the formation of collagen in bones, cartilage, muscle and blood vessels. A long-term deficiency of vitamin C can lead to a condition called scurvy, with symptoms including bleeding gums, loose teeth, and joint pains. Scurvy can be treated by increasing vitamin C intake through foods like citrus fruits and vegetables.
Deficiency of Vitamin-C _Ascorbic acid_Pediatrics
Vitamin C is water soluble and cannot be stored in the body, so it must be obtained through food sources. It aids wound healing, collagen formation, iron absorption, and acts as an antioxidant. Good food sources include citrus fruits, peppers, broccoli, and spinach. A daily recommended intake is 40-50 mg, though no toxicity occurs up to 120 mg. Deficiency causes scurvy, with symptoms like bleeding gums, bruising, and weakened bones. Treatment involves vitamin C supplementation.

Unit 7 animal nutrition - diet
This document provides information about animal nutrition and balanced diets. It defines what a balanced diet is and lists the seven major types of nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, water, and fiber. It describes the sources and functions of these nutrients and explains that an unbalanced diet can lead to deficiency diseases. Specific nutrient deficiencies that are discussed include vitamin C (scurvy), vitamin D (rickets), vitamin A (night blindness), calcium, and iron (anemia). The document also covers malnutrition conditions like marasmus and kwashiorkor that can result from poor nutrition.
A Short Note on Vitamins
A vitamin is an organic compound required by an organism as a vital nutrient in limited amounts. An organic chemical compound (or related set of compounds) is called a vitamin when it cannot be synthesized in sufficient quantities by an organism, and must be obtained from the diet. Thus, the term is conditional both on the circumstances and on the particular organism.

Vitamin c @ raj
The naming of vitamins began with Funk's isolated concentrate called vitamin B which cured Beri beri disease. Vitamins were then named alphabetically, with vitamin A discovered in 1913-1914, followed by vitamin C, vitamin D which cured rickets, and vitamin E which was important for fertility. The later discovery of a vitamin required for blood clotting led to vitamin K being named for koagulation.

Micro Nutrients and their Deficiency by Dr. Sookun Rajeev Kumar
Micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals are essential for human growth, health and development. Certain vitamins like A, D, C, B vitamins and minerals like iron and zinc must be obtained through diet as humans cannot synthesize them in sufficient amounts. Deficiencies of these micronutrients can lead to various health conditions. For example, vitamin A deficiency causes xerophthalmia and increases risk of infections; iron deficiency leads to anemia; and zinc deficiency is associated with skin lesions and impaired immunity. Diagnosis of deficiencies is based on clinical signs and symptoms as well as laboratory investigations. Treatment involves dietary modifications and supplementation to correct the deficiencies.
Stop smoking with vitamin c
Vitamin C plays an important role in smoking cessation by helping repair damage caused by smoking and reducing harmful effects. It protects blood vessels and prevents oxidative stress. Vitamin C levels are lower in smokers and it can help decrease risk of cancer and heart disease when quitting. Good sources of Vitamin C include citrus fruits, peppers and broccoli.
Bone care
This presentation simplifies the understanding of Bones, different disorders related to bones, its prevention and care. It also explains the Must have diet and must avoid food.
Deficiency disorders
This document discusses ways to boost immunity and maintain good health. It outlines that immunity is the body's ability to fight infections, but this defense can break down leading to illness. Age, malnutrition, lifestyle diseases, and deficiency diseases can impact immunity. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, addressing deficiencies, and preventing infections can help boost immunity. Specific vitamins and minerals discussed include vitamin B12, folic acid, vitamin D, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin K. The document provides information on deficiency symptoms and treatment recommendations for these nutrients. Preventing common infections through vaccines and hygiene is also covered.
Vit d
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is important for bone and muscle health. It is synthesized in the skin upon exposure to sunlight or obtained from dietary sources. The liver and kidneys work to activate vitamin D before it can be used by the body. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to rickets in children and osteomalacia or osteoporosis in adults and is associated with increased risk of various diseases. Treatment of deficiency involves obtaining more vitamin D through diet, supplements, or sunlight exposure.
Lungs (amy t, alexis s, sam m)
This document summarizes information about lung transplantation. It discusses that lungs are located in the chest and function to oxygenate blood and remove carbon dioxide. Over 1,200 lung transplants are performed annually in the US, with a 5-year survival rate of 72-83%. However, over 111,000 people are waiting for lungs and over 6,500 people die each year waiting. Lung transplants are considered for those with end-stage lung disease who have less than 2 years to live. The procedure takes 4-8 hours in specialized hospitals and has a high cost, but can extend life for transplant recipients who must follow medical therapies and lifestyle restrictions long-term.
Heart 1
The heart is located in the center-left portion of the chest and pumps oxygen-rich blood to all cells in the body. The United States performs over 2,000 heart transplants annually, with survival rates of 81% after 1 year and around 68% after 5 years. Heart transplants may be required for severe heart failure or defects that cannot be treated otherwise. Recipients must meet health criteria and take anti-rejection drugs lifelong, while living with cardiac monitoring and dietary restrictions after transplant.
Cornea(1)
The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that transmits and focuses light. About 40,000 cornea transplants are performed in the US each year, with a 90% success rate. Candidates are screened for infections or health risks and may be disqualified for certain conditions. The transplant procedure takes 1-2 hours and costs around $7,500. Post-surgery therapy includes eye drops, pills, and activity restrictions for healing.
Asthma project
Asthma is a chronic inflammation of the airways that affects millions of adults and children in the U.S. It is caused by triggers like dust, pollen, pet hair, or tobacco smoke that bring about symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. While asthma cannot be passed between individuals, chronic coughing may impact transmission of other illnesses. The disease affects the bronchial tubes leading to the lungs and symptoms are often worse in the morning or evening in response to cold air. Preventative inhalers can help control symptoms and attacks to manage the disease, which is lifelong once developed, though its effects can be minimized with proper treatment.

Rabies is caused by a virus transmitted through the saliva or nervous system tissue of an infected animal. It causes flu-like symptoms that can develop into cerebral dysfunctions, anxiety, and delirium. Over 50,000 people in Asia and Africa die from rabies each year. While rabies can be either acute or chronic depending on treatment, prevention focuses on vaccinating pets, removing strays, and avoiding contact with wild animals.
Narc
Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that affects sleep control, making it difficult to stay awake during the day. Its causes are unknown but believed to be genetic and related to low levels of the brain chemical hypocretin. Symptoms include extreme daytime sleepiness with focus problems, loss of muscle tone during wakefulness, and vivid dreams or hallucinations when waking or falling asleep, typically affecting people ages 15-25 or those who don't sleep well at night.

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder caused when both parents carry the sickle cell trait and pass it to their child. The red blood cells take on a sickle shape, which prevents them from properly carrying oxygen throughout the body. Symptoms may appear after four months of age and include attacks of pain, breathing issues, fatigue and more. While there is no cure, new treatments are helping those with sickle cell anemia live longer, into their 50s rather than the previous average of 20-40 years of age. Prevention includes vaccinations, genetic counseling before having children, and living a normal life with proper precautions.

Leprosy is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae, which is usually spread through respiratory droplets. Children are more susceptible than adults. The top three countries with the most reported leprosy cases are India, Brazil, and Burma. Leprosy has an average incubation period of 3-5 years and the primary sign is pale skin lesions with reduced sensation. If diagnosed early, nerve damage and disability can be avoided through treatment with antibiotics such as rifampicin and daspone.
Aids presentation
HIV and AIDS can be transmitted sexually or through blood and from pregnant women to their babies. While anyone can contract HIV, those most at risk are drug users and the sexually active. Since 1977, HIV/AIDS has been a major problem in Africa due to a lack of money for medicine and treatment.

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder caused by a defect in the collagen gene that results in brittle bones that break easily from minor stress or trauma. There are four main types of OI that vary in severity from very mild to lethal in infancy. While there is no cure for OI, treatments focus on increasing bone strength through bisphosphonates and low-impact exercise, as well as surgery to repair broken bones. People with OI must manage their condition for life through precautions to avoid further fractures.
Amanda mcgurk lupus
Lupus is an autoimmune disease with no known cause that predominantly affects women aged 15-44, especially those of African American, Asian, Native American, or Pacific Islander descent. Common symptoms include arthritis, joint pain, fever, fatigue, skin rash, and sensitivity to sunlight. While the signs and symptoms vary per individual, lupus produces antibodies that attack the body's own tissues and can affect the lungs, blood, brain, kidney, heart, and joints. There is no cure for lupus currently, but treatment involves medications like steroids, immunosuppressants, and anti-inflammatories to reduce symptoms, though it can sometimes be fatal depending on the severity of the case.
Yellow fever slide
Yellow fever is caused by a virus transmitted through the bites of infected female mosquitoes, with an incubation period of 3-6 days. Symptoms include headache, fever and muscle aches initially, and potentially progressing to jaundice, liver failure, and black vomit. While most cases are mild, the disease can be fatal for around 3% of infected individuals in the second more severe phase if left untreated.
Bulimia
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging. It can be caused by genetic and environmental factors like role models and social pressures. While anyone can develop it, girls aged 15-24 are most at risk. Bulimia damages the entire body and can lead to organ failure or death if left untreated. Treatment focuses on breaking the binge-purge cycle through therapy and support to address underlying emotional issues.

Black death marley(2)
Bubonic plague is caused by the Yersinia pestis bacterium which is typically transmitted through the bites of infected fleas living on rodents like rats, squirrels, and prairie dogs. Symptoms include fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes, and other flu-like symptoms appearing 1-6 days after exposure. While not usually chronic, one can be reinfected, so prevention focuses on controlling rodent populations to limit flea-borne transmission of the plague bacterium.
African trypanosomiasis
African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is caused by a parasite called Trypanosoma and transmitted by the bite of the tsetse fly. It affects people in rural parts of Africa and causes symptoms like swelling at the bite site, severe fatigue, headaches, joint pain, behavioral changes, and disturbed sleep patterns. While it can cause neurological disorders and death if left untreated, it can be prevented by avoiding tsetse fly habitats or wearing protective clothing, and treated with drugs like Pentamidine, Suramin, and combinations of other drugs.
Shingles
Varicella-zoster virus causes both chickenpox and shingles. Shingles occurs when the virus reactivates after dormancy in the nervous system following chickenpox. It is characterized by a painful rash that typically affects a limited area on one side of the body. Treatment aims to reduce pain and complications through antiviral medication started within 24 hours of symptom onset, along with anti-inflammatory drugs and soothing baths. While shingles itself is usually not fatal, high-risk groups could die if exposed without proper medical care.
Anthrax
Anthrax is caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis. It can infect humans through contact with infected animals or animal products, as well as through inhalation of anthrax spores. There are three main types - cutaneous (skin), inhalation (lungs), and gastrointestinal (digestive system). Symptoms vary depending on type but can include lesions, vomiting, diarrhea, and respiratory issues. Anthrax spores can also be used as a biological weapon. Diagnosis involves cultures and antibody tests while treatment requires long courses of antibiotics.
