Vitamin c deficiency scurvy
Vitamin C deficiency causes the disease scurvy. Scurvy is characterized by swollen and sore gums and loose teeth. Scurvy can be prevented by consuming citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, as well as other fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C such as broccoli, cabbage and bell peppers. While a balanced diet prevents scurvy, vitamin C supplements can also be taken to ensure adequate vitamin C intake to maintain healthy blood vessels, bones and teeth.
Scurvy; causes, symptoms and treatment
Scurvy is a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency which can lead to bleeding gums, joint pain, and fatigue. It was historically common among sailors on long voyages with limited access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Modern cases are rare where diets include foods like oranges, broccoli and potatoes that are rich in vitamin C. Scurvy symptoms result from a lack of vitamin C needed to produce collagen and support immune function. Treatment involves vitamin C supplementation which can relieve symptoms within 24 hours and result in full recovery within 3 months if the deficiency is addressed.
Scurvey
Scurvy is a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency that results in bruising, bleeding gums, and joint pain. It was common among sailors in the 15th-16th centuries who lacked fresh fruits and vegetables on long voyages. Today it occurs mainly in those with poor diets or eating disorders. Scurvy can be diagnosed based on its symptoms and dietary history, and is treated by taking high doses of vitamin C to replace what is lacking in the body. Without treatment, scurvy will eventually lead to death.
Vit c
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that humans must obtain from their diet. It acts as an antioxidant, helps form collagen, and supports brain and immune health. Deficiency can cause scurvy, with symptoms like bleeding gums, bruising, and fatigue. While rare today, scurvy was historically common among those with limited diets like sailors. The recommended daily intake is 75-90mg for adults, and deficiency is more likely in smokers, alcoholics, and those with poor diets or nutrient absorption issues. High doses from supplements can cause side effects like diarrhea.
Scurvy in children
Scurvy is a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency that results in fragile blood vessels and bones. It was common among sailors until Captain Cook issued citrus fruits to prevent it. James Lind demonstrated that oranges and lemons cured scurvy. Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis and antioxidant functions. Scurvy symptoms include bleeding gums, bone pain, and fractures. Diagnosis involves low vitamin C levels and characteristic bone changes on x-rays like osteopenia and Trümmerfeld zones. Treatment is vitamin C supplementation, with symptoms resolving within days to weeks.
Scurvy
Vitamin C deficiency, also known as scurvy, results from a lack of vitamin C in the diet. Key signs and symptoms include bleeding gums, joint pain, fatigue, and bruising easily. Laboratory tests are usually not required to diagnose scurvy, as the characteristic clinical signs and radiological findings are pathognomonic. On x-ray, areas of provisional calcification appear as dense white lines with rarefaction below, and subperiosteal hemorrhages can cause a "dumbbell-shaped" bone appearance. Untreated scurvy can lead to complications affecting multiple organ systems and even death.
Impact of Vitamin C on Oral Health
It is a brief discussion on the impact of vitamin C on oral health mainly through pictorial representation..Hope you all will like it..
Vitamin c (ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant vitamin that is important for collagen production, iron absorption, and immune function. It can be obtained through foods like citrus fruits, peppers and tomatoes. Dietary recommendations for vitamin C intake vary from 40 mg per day for infants to 75-90 mg for adults. While vitamin C supplements may help prevent the common cold, intake over 2000 mg daily can cause side effects like diarrhea. Deficiency can result in scurvy, but toxicity is rare when intake remains below upper limits.
Vitamin c power point
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that prevents scurvy, a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency. It was discovered in the 17th century that lemon juice could prevent scurvy in sailors. Vitamin C helps form collagen, protects the immune system, aids iron absorption, and facilitates fat and neurotransmitter metabolism. Good dietary sources include citrus fruits, berries, tomatoes, and leafy greens. While deficiency is rare, complete lack of vitamin C causes scurvy. The recommended daily intake is 60 mg but higher doses are considered safe and may provide additional health benefits.
Vitamin c
This document provides information about vitamin C, including its food sources, functions, recommended dietary allowances, deficiency, research, and references. It summarizes that vitamin C is an essential water-soluble vitamin obtained through foods like fruits and vegetables as humans cannot synthesize it themselves. The document outlines vitamin C's roles in collagen synthesis, immune function, and as an antioxidant for protecting against free radical damage. It also details signs of deficiency like scurvy and groups at higher risk like smokers.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that is obtained through foods like fruits, vegetables, and breastmilk. It serves many important functions in the body related to collagen synthesis, iron absorption, immune function, and acting as an antioxidant. Scurvy results from vitamin C deficiency and can cause bleeding gums, bone pain, impaired wound healing and anemia. It is usually seen in infants and children who are exclusively fed boiled milk or formula without vitamin C supplementation. Treatment involves a high dose of vitamin C supplementation as well as including vitamin C rich foods in the diet.
Vitamin C deficiency
Vitamin C plays important roles in the body including in collagen formation, wound healing, and immune function. A deficiency in vitamin C can lead to scurvy, which causes symptoms like bleeding gums, bruising, and poor wound healing. Scurvy develops when vitamin C levels in the body drop below a critical point, which can occur within 1-3 months if dietary intake is lacking. Several groups are at higher risk for vitamin C deficiency, including smokers, pregnant women, and those with digestive disorders that impact absorption. Treatment involves taking supplemental vitamin C orally to restore levels.
Scurvy
- Scurvy is a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency that results from a lack of vitamin C in the diet for several weeks. It impairs collagen formation and causes hemorrhaging in tissues.
- Symptoms include bleeding gums, loose teeth, bruising of the skin, and bone fractures. In infants, scurvy can cause pseudoparalysis and swelling over bones from subperiosteal hemorrhaging.
- Diagnosis is based on low vitamin C blood levels and x-ray findings of bone changes like the white line of Fraenkel. Treatment involves vitamin C supplementation in doses of at least 200mg daily until recovery is complete.
Vitamin c deficiency
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in maintaining connective tissues and acting as an antioxidant. The body needs a daily intake of vitamin C from foods like fruits and vegetables as it does not produce or store vitamin C on its own. Deficiency can lead to issues like bleeding gums and slowed wound healing, while long term deficiency increases risks of health issues like high blood pressure and cancers. Good dietary sources of vitamin C include guava, peppers, citrus fruits, and leafy greens.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C and vitamin B12 are essential water-soluble vitamins. Vitamin C aids in tissue growth and repair, acts as an antioxidant, and supports the immune system. It is found in many fruits and vegetables. A vitamin C deficiency can cause scurvy. Vitamin B12 is important for brain and nervous system function as well as blood cell formation. It supports energy production and cardiovascular health. Good sources are animal products. Deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anemia. Both vitamins have recommended daily intake amounts to support health.
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.
Vitamin C deficiency
Vitamin C deficiency can be caused by low dietary intake or conditions where the body needs more vitamin C than is produced. Signs of deficiency include decreased appetite, growth, immunity and more. Classic scurvy in adults occurs after 45-80 days without vitamin C and involves bleeding gums and impaired wound healing. In children, scurvy is called Moeller-Barlow disease and involves joint pain and bone issues. While most people get enough vitamin C from a normal diet, some propose higher "pharmacologic" doses may help prevent or treat conditions like colds and cancer.

This document provides an overview of rickets presented by Lyudmyla Olexandrivna Rakovska from the Department of Pediatrics at V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. The 10-point plan discusses the definition, etiology, pathogenesis, classification, clinical manifestations, laboratory/radiological findings, differential diagnosis, treatment and prevention of rickets. Key points include that rickets is caused by vitamin D deficiency impairing bone mineralization, especially in children under 2 years old. Symptoms involve soft, deformed bones and skeletal abnormalities. Treatment focuses on vitamin D supplementation through either low daily doses or high single doses.
Rickets & osteomalacia
Rickets and osteomalacia are diseases caused by a lack of calcium and phosphorus that prevents bone mineralization. Rickets occurs in children before growth plate closure, while osteomalacia occurs in adults. The most common causes are vitamin D deficiency from inadequate intake or absorption and phosphate deficiency. Treatment involves replacing the deficient nutrient, usually with vitamin D, calcium, and phosphate supplements. Monitoring treatment involves checking serum and urine calcium levels until they normalize and x-rays show bone healing.
Ricket and osteomalacia
This document discusses rickets and osteomalacia. It defines them as metabolic bone diseases where rickets occurs in growing children and is caused by defective mineralization of bone and cartilage. Osteomalacia occurs in adults and is caused by inadequate or delayed mineralization of new bone. Common causes include vitamin D deficiency, malabsorption, and renal problems. Clinical features include bone pain, deformities, fractures, and muscle weakness. Diagnosis involves lab tests showing low calcium and imaging showing bone abnormalities. Treatment focuses on vitamin D, calcium, and phosphate supplementation.

VITAMIN C ppt.pptx
Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble vitamin that acts as an antioxidant. A deficiency can lead to scurvy, which causes symptoms like sore and bleeding gums. Good dietary sources include citrus fruits, bell peppers, and tomatoes. To treat a deficiency, high doses of vitamin C supplements are needed along with a diet high in fruits and vegetables to meet recommended daily amounts.
Scurvy is a disease resulting from a deficiency o.pdf
Scurvy is a disease resulting from a deficiency of vitamin C, which is required for
the synthesis of collagen in humans. The chemical name for vitamin C, ascorbic acid, is derived
from the Latin name of scurvy, scorbutus, which also provides the adjective scorbutic (\"of,
characterized by or having to do with scurvy\"). Scurvy often presents itself initially as
symptoms of malaise and lethargy, followed by formation of spots on the skin, spongy gums, and
bleeding from the mucous membranes. Spots are most abundant on the thighs and legs, and a
person with the ailment looks pale, feels depressed, and is partially immobilized. As scurvy
advances, there can be open, suppurating wounds, loss of teeth, jaundice, fever, neuropathy and
death. Scurvy was at one time common among sailors, pirates and others aboard ships at sea
longer than perishable fruits and vegetables could be stored (subsisting instead only on cured and
salted meats and dried grains) and by soldiers similarly separated from these foods for extended
periods. It was described by Hippocrates (c. 460 BC–c. 380 BC), and herbal cures for scurvy
have been known in many native cultures since prehistory. Scurvy was one of the limiting factors
of marine travel, often killing large numbers of the passengers and crew on long-distance
voyages. This became a significant issue in Europe from the beginning of the modern era in the
Age of Discovery in the 15th century, continuing to play a significant role through World War I
in the 20th century. Today scurvy is known to be caused by a nutritional deficiency, but until the
isolation of vitamin C and its direct link to scurvy in 1932, numerous theories and treatments
were proposed, often on little or no experimental data. This inconsistency is attributed to the lack
of vitamin C as a distinct concept, the varying vitamin C content of different foods (notably
present in fresh citrus, watercress, and organ meat), and how vitamin C can be destroyed by
exposure to air and copper. Treatment by fresh food, particularly citrus fruit, was periodically
implemented, as it had been since antiquity, but the ultimate cause of scurvy was not known until
1932, and treatment was inconsistent, with many ineffective treatments used into the 20th
century. It was a Scottish surgeon in the British Royal Navy, James Lind who first proved it
could be treated with citrus fruit in experiments he described in his 1753 book, A Treatise of the
Scurvy,[1] though his advice was not implemented by the Royal Navy for several decades. In
infants, scurvy is sometimes referred to as Barlow\'s disease, named after Sir Thomas Barlow,[2]
a British physician who described it.[3] (N.B. Barlow\'s disease may also refer to mitral valve
prolapse.) Other eponyms include Moeller\'s disease and Cheadle\'s disease. Scurvy does not
occur in most animals because they can synthesize their own vitamin C. However, humans and
other higher primates (the simians and tarsiers), guinea pigs, most or all b.
Diseases
Deficiency diseases like night blindness, beriberi, scurvy, rickets, goitre and anaemia are non-communicable diseases that are not passed from person to person. Night blindness is caused by vitamin A deficiency and can be prevented by eating foods like green leafy vegetables and citrus fruits. Beriberi results from not enough vitamin B1 and is found in foods like rice, milk and meat. Scurvy is a vitamin C deficiency that causes bleeding gums and joint swelling, but can be treated with citrus fruits, tomatoes and potatoes.

Jordan dougherty; scurvy
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.

Rickets
Rickets is a childhood bone disease caused by severe and prolonged vitamin D deficiency. This leads to softening and weakening of bones as the body is unable to absorb sufficient calcium and phosphorus from food. Symptoms include bowed legs, muscle weakness, and bone pain or fractures. Rickets is treated by giving vitamin D and calcium supplements to restore healthy bone mineralization. Prevention focuses on adequate vitamin D through sunlight exposure, diet, or supplements, especially for those at higher risk like infants.
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.
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.

Common Nutritional Problem.pdf
This document discusses common nutritional problems and deficiencies. It begins by defining nutritional problems as conditions caused by a lack of essential nutrients. The most prevalent deficiencies globally are iron, iodine, vitamin A, and vitamin B. Symptoms of deficiencies vary but can include fatigue, skin issues, neurological problems, and increased disease susceptibility. The document also categorizes nutrients and provides details on deficiency symptoms for specific vitamins and minerals.
vitamin D PPT.pdf
Vitamin D is important for bone health and the absorption of calcium. It is obtained through sunlight exposure, dietary sources like salmon and mushrooms, and supplements. Vitamin D is absorbed in the small intestine and transported to the liver where it is converted to its storage form. A deficiency can lead to rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults. Maintaining adequate vitamin D levels is important for bone and overall health.

Diagnoses may involve barium swallow, endoscopy, or acid perfusion tests. Treatment involves dietary changes, medications like antacids or proton pump inhibitors, and lifestyle modifications. Peptic ulcers are breaks in the stomach or duodenal mucosa and are associated with protein meals, alcohol, smoking, NSAIDs, and H. pylori infection. Gastric cancer
Osteoporosis2
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by thinning of the bones and loss of bone density. It is caused by deficiencies in estrogen and vitamin D and can be diagnosed through energy x-ray absorptiometry. Symptoms include backaches, neck pain, height loss, and hunched posture. Prevention involves lifestyle changes like exercise and nutrition, while treatment consists of antiresorptive and anabolic agents.
Kwashiorkor2
Kwashiorkor is a form of childhood malnutrition caused by a lack of protein in the diet. It is characterized by swelling of the feet and skin changes. Additional symptoms include fatigue, hair changes, increased infections, irritability, diarrhea, and loss of muscle mass. Kwashiorkor is most common in areas affected by famine, limited food supply, or low education about nutrition. Treatment involves reintroducing calories and protein to correct the nutritional deficiencies, while prevention focuses on ensuring access to a diet with sufficient protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
meniere's disease (Vertigo) and labyrinthitis
This document discusses Meniere's disease and labyrinthitis. Meniere's disease is caused by abnormal fluid balance in the inner ear and causes fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear. Labyrinthitis is an inflammation of the inner ear that can be caused by viral or bacterial infections and causes sudden vertigo, nausea, vomiting, and possible hearing loss or tinnitus. Both conditions are treated medically or surgically, with options including low sodium diets, medications to reduce vertigo and nausea, or procedures to drain fluid from the inner ear or decrease vestibular function.
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that mainly affects movement. It is characterized by three main symptoms - tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia. The cause is largely unknown but may be genetic, environmental, or related to head trauma. Diagnosis involves evaluating a patient's history and symptoms. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms through dopamine replacement therapy or other drugs, and sometimes surgery like deep brain stimulation for advanced cases.
Myasthenia gravis
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by varying degrees of weakness in voluntary muscles. It primarily affects the muscles responsible for eye movement and facial expression as well as swallowing. While it mainly impacts women aged 20-40 and men aged 60-70, it can occur at any age. Symptoms range from drooping eyelids to difficulty speaking and generalized weakness. Myasthenic crisis is a medical emergency defined by severe exacerbation of symptoms that can impact breathing. Treatment focuses on immunosuppression through corticosteroids or IVIG as well as symptomatic relief using anticholinesterase medications.
Alziemer’s disease & dementia
Alzheimer's disease is a chronic, progressive brain disorder that causes loss of memory and cognitive abilities. It is the most common form of dementia. Changes in the brain include accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles that disrupt communication between neurons. Symptoms start with short-term memory loss and progress to include problems with language, visual processing, motor skills, reasoning, and personality changes. Diagnosis involves ruling out other conditions through tests like CT or MRI scans and neuropsychological evaluations. Currently, cholinesterase inhibitors are the only approved treatment for cognitive symptoms, while antipsychotics may help behavioral issues.
