Introduction Scabies Malnutrition Tuberculosis ... Apgar Score Rickets R ickets is the failure of the proper development of mineralization of the bone. It is a condition commonly seen in children adopted abroad. There can be several causes of rickets but in adopted children the cause is commonly due to nutritional deficiencies. Poor diets lack calcium and vitamin D, both of which are necessary for proper bone growth. S ymptoms of rickets can vary from no obvious symptoms to the more obvious: Teeth can be affected with delayed eruption of baby teeth along with enamel defects, cavities and some affects of the permanent teeth
Muscle tone can be decreased and muscles poorly developed contributing to the delayed motor development.
The head can be box shaped with frontal bossing. The fontanel or soft spot can have delayed closure up to several years.

This lack of calcium can result from inadequate dietary calcium, inadequate exposure to sunshine (needed to make vitamin D), or from not eating enough vitamin D egg yolks and dairy products Rickets can also be caused by conditions that impair absorption of vitamin D and/or calcium, even when these nutrients are consumed in appropriate amounts. Activation of vitamin D in the body requires normal liver and kidney function. Damage to either organ can cause rickets. Some variations of rickets do not respond well to supplementation with vitamin D and calcium. Proper diagnosis must be made by a healthcare professional. Osteomalacia is an adult version of rickets. This condition is treated with vitamin D, sometimes in combination with calcium supplements. Osteomalacia should be diagnosed, and its treatment monitored, by a doctor.

Rickets and Vitamin D Glisson, Francis. A Treatise of the Rickets: Being a Disease Common to Children..... . London: P. Cole, 1651. This book was one of the first pediatric texts published in England, and is one of the earliest instances of collaborative medical research, reporting the observations of Francis Glisson and seven other contributors. Francis Glisson (1597-1677) was a scholar, a scientist, a physician, and a born investigator. His description of rickets was complete; however, he did not recognize the part that diet played. It was not until 1918, that Edward Mellanby, experimenting with dogs, showed that diet was the determining factor, and that cod liver oil could prevent rickets. In chapter 22 of his Treatise of the Rickets , Glisson gave a clear description of infantile scurvy and showed that, though it often accompanied rickets, it was a separate disease entirely.

Welcome ! My name is Lucy Rickets and I am a UK based textile artist producing contemporary embroidered textiles. I graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University in 1991 with a BA (Hons) in textiles with embroidery, and I now make small, unique and colourful embroidered collages which I exhibit and sell. Inspiration My embroideries primarily focus on still life scenes, both interior and exterior. I have a passion for colour and decoration, particularly in the home environment, and the balancing of colour is a central concern in my work. I often use ceramics, flowers, fruit, cloth and other collectable objects to provide me with a rich source of colour, pattern and design. Each of my embroidered pieces is a one-off creation which evolves from my small sketches and paintings. Technique I use commercially dyed cotton fabrics which give me a strong palette of flat colour to work with. In addition to this I quite often hand paint areas to create a more painterly effect. Both appliqué and embroidery techniques feature in my work, and I begin by piecing the central image. Each piece of fabric is carefully cut out, pieced and stitched by either hand or machine. Sometimes this involves a painstaking procedure of cutting tiny petals, leaves or spots which are then applied and stitched into place. The machine embroidery is done using a darning foot and free machining without the feed. I have a very old sewing machine which has no set pattern facilities, so all the machine embroidery you see is created by my own careful control of the fabric under the needle. I keep my hand embroidery simple and use just a handful of stitches to secure and embellish the fabric.

A look at Macrobiotics and Rickets close home Rickets returns with faddy diets
Rickets, once the scourge of Victorian Britain, is back.
According to the latest edition of The Lancet
Macrobiotic diets, for example, are not ideal for young children.
They exclude dairy produce, meat and wheat, all excellent sources of vitamin D and calcium. In the Telegraph Newspaper
Also read: Rickets in infants on macrobiotic diets Causes: Rickets is caused by the failure of osteoid to calcify in the growing person or animal. Failure of osteoid to calcify in the adult is called osteomalacia. Rickets occurs when the metabolites of vitamin D are deficient. Less commonly, dietary deficiency of calcium or phosphorus may produce rickets. Vitamin D (cholecalciferol [vitamin D-3], a steroid compound) is formed in the skin under the stimulus of ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light was the only significant source of vitamin D until early in the twentieth century, when ergosterol (vitamin D-2), which is contained in fish liver oil or as an irradiated plant steroid, was discovered. Ergosterol can be taken orally with good effect. Scroll down to read

Case Thirty Two - Rickets
Click on Images for Enlarged View Clinical History: 15-month-old, who has not begun to walk. Findings: Films reveal widening and fraying of the metaphysis and physis in the radius, ulna, distal femurs and proximal fibula. Diagnosis: Rickets. Discussion: Rickets is a disorder of bone mineralization in which osteoblastic activity and production of bone matrix continue but matrix mineralization is delayed. The most important physiologic basis of rickets is a deficiency of extracellular phosphate, with or without an associated deficiency of calcium. Etiology of rickets can be divided into two main categories: 1. Diminished/ineffective production of active Vit D. This includes
decreased oral intake of Vit D, limited sunlight, liver disease or Vit D malabsorption. 2. Renal abnormalities, which includes Fanconi Syndrome and renal tubular acidosis.
Treatment includes Vit D replacement. References:

Case Two - Rickets
Click on Images for Enlarged View Clinical History: A 5 year-old male presents with pain and swelling of the left lower extremity. Evaluate for fracture. Findings: Diffuse osteopenia is evident. There is widening of the growth plate. The femoral and tibial metaphysis are frayed and cupped. Diagnosis: Rickets Discussion: Rickets is described as a group of diseases demonstrating similar pathologic, radiologic, and histologic abnormalities. Pathologically, it results from an interruption in the orderly development and mineralization of the growth plate, so changes are more obvious in regions of most active growth, i.e. the costrochondral junction of the ribs, the distal femur, proximal humerus, both ends of the tibia and distal radius and ulna. This results in widening of the growth plate and zone of provisional calcification which becomes irregular. Disorganization and "fraying" with widening and cupping of the metaphyis. The deformities caused by rickets exhibit different patterns depending on the child's age when the disease develops. In infants, craniotabes is a manifestation. During infancy and childhood, long bone abnormalities predominate with bowing deformities. Later on scoliosis, basilar invagination, and triradiate configuration of the pelvis may be seen.

Vitamin D, Rickets and the Breastfed Baby
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SCHAUMBURG, IL ( May 1, 1995) - Recent headlines in New Jersey, New York and Seattle have reported a few cases of rickets among Ethiopian and African-American Muslim children who were reportedly breastfed. Rickets, which can cause bone deformities and other health problems, is caused by a lack of vitamin D which prohibits the body from properly utilizing calcium. Primarily at risk for the disease are dark-skinned infants who are always heavily clothed or live where there is little sunshine. Babies of mothers who have low vitamin D stores may also be at risk. Research suggests that people of color, especially religious or cultural groups who wear enveloping clothing should expose their babies' uncovered cheeks to sunlight for just 20 minutes a day to get the needed vitamin D. In cases where this is not possible or the mother is not getting adequate vitamin D, doctors may prescribe a vitamin D supplement for the baby. According to La Leche League International, the world's recognized authority on breastfeeding, rickets has rarely been found in fully breastfed infants. This is true even in northern climates where there is less exposure to sunlight, which activates the formation of vitamin D. Research has shown that human milk contains adequate vitamin D for at least the first 6 months of life.

General Discussion
Vitamin-D Deficiency Rickets, a disorder that becomes apparent during infancy or childhood, is characterized by insufficient amounts of vitamin D in the body. The vitamin deficiency may be caused by poor nutrition, a lack of exposure to the sun, or malabsorption syndromes in which the intestines do not adequately absorb nutrients from foods. Vitamin D is needed for the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body, which, in turn affects how calcium is deposited in the bones. Major symptoms of Vitamin-D Deficiency Rickets include bone disease, restlessness, and slow growth. This disorder is rare in the United States but is not uncommon in certain areas of the world.

HEART FAILURE LEPROSY MALARIA ... treatment continued...
TREATMENT for RICKETS DIET and SUNLIGHT (vitamin D) The connexion between abundance of sunlight and an absence of rickets was made by Theodor Palm, an English medical missionary, in the 19th century, whilst in the East - but his epidemiological findings were ignored(1). Use of cod liver oil had been known in Northern Europe since the 18th century and had been given prominence in the treatment of rickets in 1861 by Trousseau, a physician in Paris, in his textbook on clinical medicine. The link between diet and rickets was made by Jean Baptiste Dumas, a French chemist, who, in 1871, published details of his observations made of starving infants during the time that Paris was under seige from the Prussians. Dumas described the disasterous consequences of feeding these infants on artificial milk, prepared by emulsifying fat in a saturated solution(2). In 1880, Nicholas Lunin, in his doctorate thesis cited his experiments with mice, maintained on artificial diets. Mice reciving sodium carbonate lived for 12 to 30 days, whilst those not given this, lived for 12 to 21 days. Lunin found that "artificial milk did not improve survival of the mice" - but with no mention of the results observed by Dumas in children fed on this diet. Lunin found the mice thrived on powdered milk. Twenty five years later, Prof C A Pekelharing of the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, published a paper in Dutch in 1905, describing his experiments which showed that mice could be kept healthy on an artificial diet to which a small amount of whey had been added - he had been preceded by Dumas over 30 years earlier, who had used emulsified fat in solution in his clinical application(2).
