Most animals can synthesize their own vitamin C, but some animals, including primates, guinea pigs and humans, cannot. Vitamin C was first isolated in 1928, and in 1932 it was proved to be the agent which prevents scurvy.

Extractions: Scientific classification Scientific classification refers to how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms. Modern classification has its roots in the system of Carolus Linnaeus, who grouped species according to shared physical characteristics. These groupings have been revised since Linnaeus to improve consistency with the Darwinian principle of common descent. Molecular systematics, which uses Genomic DNA analysis has driven many recent revisions and is likely to continue to do so. Scientific classification belongs to the science of taxonomy or biological systematics. Click the link for more information. Kingdom In biology, a kingdom is the top-level, or nearly the top-level, grouping of organisms in scientific classification. Originally, two kingdoms were distinguished, the Animalia (animals), which typically could move about, and the Plantae (plants), which typically could not. Early authors also had a third kingdom for minerals. Each kingdom was divided into classes, later into phyla for animals and divisions for plants. This simplistic classification has been largely abandoned thanks to new developments, however.

Extractions: Scurvy is a condition caused by a lack of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in the diet. Signs of scurvy include tiredness, muscle weakness, joint and muscle aches, a rash on the legs, and bleeding gums. In the past, scurvy was common among sailors and other people deprived of fresh fruits and vegetables for long periods of time. Description Scurvy is very rare in countries where fresh fruits and vegetables are readily available and where processed foods have vitamin C added. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant vitamin involved in the development of connective tissues, lipid and vitamin metabolism, biosynthesis of neurotransmitters, immune function, and wound healing. It is found in fruits, especially citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruit, and in green leafy vegetables like broccoli and spinach. In adults, it may take several months of vitamin C deficiency before symptoms of scurvy develop. Currently, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for vitamin C is 50-60 mg/day for adults; 35 mg/day for infants; 40-45 mg/day for children 1-14; 70 mg/day during pregnancy ; and 90-95 mg/day during lactation . The body's need for vitamin C increases when a person is under stress , smoking, or taking certain medications.

Other characters Scurvy, a metabolic disease resulting from chronic dietary deficiency of vitamin C or ascorbic acid. In infants scurvy may develop if they are fed pasteurized or boiled milk over a long period of time (heating leads to disruption of the vitamin C molecule). Vitamin deficiency must have existed for 410 months before scurvy develops. Manifestations include failure to thrive, pale skin, petechiae, swollen and ulcerated gums, haematuria, melaena, haematemesis, secondary infections, soft tissue swelling and costochondral tenderness. The skeletal changes result from a depression of normal cellular activity, most markedly in areas of active endochondral bone growth (ends of tubular bones and costochondral junctions). Small excrescences may develop at the metaphysis. On radiographs, the end of an involved tubular bone shows several zones (Table 1) ( Fig.1 Scurvy, Table 1. Radiographic features of scurvy. Transverse metaphyseal line of increased density Transverse metaphyseal line of decreased density ("scurvy" line) Metaphyseal excrescences or beaks Subepiphyseal infractions ("corner" or "angle" sign) Periostitis Epiphyseal shell of increased density with central lucency (Wimberger's sign of scurvy) Similar but less marked alterations may be evident in the ossification centres of the epiphyses of tubular bones and in the carpus and tarsus. Thickening of the provisional zone of calcification produces a radiodense shell around the ossification centre that is accentuated by central rarefaction owing to atrophy of the adjacent spongiosa (

Other characters Scurvy, metabolic disease due to vitamin C deficiency. It is now exceedingly rare and almost never seen below the age of 6 months. Vitamin C has an important role in the synthesis of collagen and manifestations of the disease reflect deficient collagen; thus blood vessels are excessively permeable and rupture easily and the bone shows defective formation and lacks tensile strength. Clinically children with scurvy appear malnourished and irritable with generalized weakness, petechial haemorrhages and bruising, poor wound healing and tender, painful extremities. Radiographs show generalized osteopenia, loss of the normal trabecular pattern and thin cortices ( Fig.1 ). Metaphyses show a characteristic transverse lucent band (Trummerfeld's zone) representing the primary spongiosa and relative increased density of the adjacent zone of provisional calcification (white line of Frankel). Fragility of the zone of provisional calcification may cause irregularity and peripheral metaphyseal spurring (Pelken spur). These changes are most prominent at sites of active endochondral bone growth such as distal femur, proximal and distal tibia/fibula, proximal humerus and distal radius/ulna. The epiphyses tend to be osteopenic with sparing of the rim causing a relatively dense peripheral ring (see Wimbergers sign ). Extensive new bone formation occurs along the shafts of bones in response to subperiosteal haemorrhage.

Scurvy is now most frequently seen in in older,malnourished adults. Scurvy was a serious problem in the past, when fresh fruitsand vegetables were not available during the winter in many parts of the world.It was especially common among sailors in the days when only nonperishable foods could be stocked aboard ship. More than half the crew of Vasco da Gama died fromscurvy on his first trip (1497-99) around the Cape of Good Hope. In 1747 the Scottish naval surgeon James Lind treated scurvy-ridden sailors with lemons and oranges and obtained dramatic cures. In 1795 the British navy began to distribute regular rations of lime juice during long sea voyages (hence the name limeys for British sailors), a measure that was largely successful in preventing scurvy. It was probably the first disease to be definitely associated with a dietary deficiency. Baudin, Nicholas

Extractions: "Bown certainly has an effective way of rolling out the clues, details and developments and he does so with research that's simply exhaustive. I used to be fascinated with the black death and that whole "bring-out-your-dead" era but man, I needed a dozen books to get as well rounded a history as Bown provides here (bonus points for Bown's documenting real-life characters; there's a humanity to the drama). I also got a compelling story that mixes medical drama with the romanticism of "Titanic" and its seafaring era."

Extractions: One malady that killed sailors by the score was caused not by what was in the food but by what was not. Scurvy, caused by a lack of Vitamin C, was the great killer of mariners on long oceanic voyages. During his voyage to India in 1497-98, Vasco da Gama lost two-thirds of his men to scurvy. Two hundred and fifty years later, Commodore Anson lost over half of his nearly two thousand men during a four-year voyage. Mariners recognized that scurvy was somehow linked to their diet, but they did not understand how. Was it a lack of fresh meat? Fresh vegetables? Why did some foods help, while others did not?

Extractions: SCURVY Infantile Scurvy (Scurvy Rickets, Barlows disease), a disease of childhood due to a morbid condition of the blood and tissues from defects of diet, was first observed in England in 1876 by Sir T. Smith, and later fully investigated by Sir Thomas Barlow. The chief symptoms are great and progressive anaemia, mental apathy, spongy gums, haemorrhages into various structures, particularly under the periosteum and muscles, with suggestive thickenirigs round the shafts of the long bones, producing a state of pseudoparalysis.

Extractions: Home A Short History of Scury I think it's particularly amazing that the information on the cure of scurvy was available a long time before it was acted upon. Hippocrates described Scurvy: bleeding gums, hemorrhaging and death, as early as the 5th c. BC. During the Crusades the disease became widespread. In 1250 it forced the retreat and capture of St. Louis with all his knights. It didn't become a major problem, however, until the age of exploration. Long sea voyages lacking in fresh food led to vitamin C deficiency. There is a legend that during one of Christopher Columbus's voyages some Portuguese sailors had scurvy and wanted to be dropped off at one of the nearby islands and die there rather then dying on board and being fed to the fish. While the men were on the island they ate some of the island's fresh fruits and plants and to their amazement began to recover. When Columbus's ships passed by several months later, the pilot was surprised to see the men waving from land alive and healthy. The island was named Curacao, meaning Cure. During Jacques Cartier's second voyage (1535-36), he used two indian interpreter-guides to pilot him up the St. Lawrence River to Stadacona (the site of modern Quebec). Wintering in Stadacona, 25 members of his crew died from scurvy before the indians taught them to drink a brew of white cedar which saved the rest.

It is characterized by progressive bodily weakness, spongy and inflamed gums, loose teeth, swollen and tender joints, and a tendency toward ecchymosis, or absorption by the tissues of blood from ruptured blood vessels. Anemia often occurs as a direct result of such hemorrhage. Lack of vitamin C in the diet prevents the formation of connective tissues that hold the body's structures together, such as tendons, ligaments, bone, dentin, and cartilage. The disease may appear in adults after about six months of complete lack of vitamin C.

The modern-day fatty acid imbalance of the American diet is a nutritional deficiency disease that will go down in history as one of the worst (most costly) known to man.
