1. Vitamin C And Scurvy An article on vitamin C and how this disease occurs including symptoms. http://www.people.virginia.edu/~rjh9u/vitac.html

Vitamin C and Scurvy Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), a reducing agent, is necessary to maintain the enzyme prolyl hydroxylase in an active form, most likely by keeping its iron atom in a reduced state. The precursor molecule to the protein collagen, procollagen, contains an unusual amino acid sequence in that every third amino acid is a glycine and contains a high frequency of two amino acids not found in any other proteins - hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine. These latter two amino acids are converted from proline and lysine, respectively, after the procollagen molecule has been synthesized. The hydroxylation of proline and lysine in procollagen is carried out by the enzyme prolyl hydroxylase using vitamin C as a cofactor. A vitamin C deficiency results in an underhydroxylation of proline and lysine in collagen which results in a lower melting temperature of the resulting collagen fibers which causes a breakdown of the protein collagen needed for connective tissue, bones and dentin, the major portion of teeth. Collagen is a cementing material that binds cells together, and is an essential connective tissue protein in the body. Whenever the body is wounded, collagen glues the separated tissues together to form a scar. A lack of collagen causes the walls of the body's blood capillaries to break down and hemorrhaging occurs in cells throughout the body. When capillaries lose the "glue" that holds them together, symptoms of scurvy appear.

2. A Simple Experiment On Scurvy In 1747 a simple experiment to determine what might be effective as a cure forscurvy was performed. http://www.people.virginia.edu/~rjh9u/scurvy1.html

A Simple Experiment on Scurvy I n 1747 as the HMS Salisbury sailed from England to the Plymouth Colony, the ship's physician, James Lind, performed a simple experiment to determine what might be effective as a cure for scurvy. Scurvy was described as early as 1500 BC in the Ebers papyrus and other descriptions appeared in Greek and Roman writings. It struck the crew of Magellan's around the world journey in 1519-22 and a British report in 1600 indicated that in the previous 20 years some 10,000 mariners had been destroyed by the disease. O n May 20, 1747, Lind divided his 12 ill men into six groups of two each. All 12 shared a common diet for breakfast, lunch and dinner but each group received a different supplement as follows: quart of apple juice daily 25 drops of elixir vitriol (sulfuric acid and aromatics) two spoonfuls of vinegar three times a day concoction of herbs and spices half-pint of sea water daily two oranges and one lemon daily T he two men who ate the oranges and lemon recovered immediately. One was fit for duty in six days and the other was also well in six days and was appointed as nurse to all the others. The two men who drank apple cider improved but were not well enough to work. None of the others showed any improvement. M r. Lind concluded that

3. Scurvy - Screenplay / Scriptwriting Script Writing Tool This screenplay/scriptwriting formatting tool is a simple commandline tool for converting text files into proper script output. http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/scurvy/

s c u r v y What is it? scurvy comes from "screen/script" and "vi/vim" It's a tool that lets you easily write screenplays or scripts in a simple text format, then scurvy will output them in the proper screenplay format. Scurvy can also import some RTF and Final Draft formats, as well as outputting/converting to a variety of formats as well. Finally, I've included some vim syntax files to do coloring of the scurvy input and formal screenplay format.

YM: (confused) An O? Satan: Shh... It'll cost you just a nickel! YM: (confused, annoyed) A nickel? Satan: Shh... Riiight! Dissolve Can create the following output: EXT.

Scurvy Isn't Cool! All About Scurvy What is scurvy? Scurvy, also called vitamin C deficiency, is of the most serious diseases affecting teenagers today. It is caused by a dietary lack of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), a nutrient found in many fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly the citrus fruits. Ascorbic acid is important in the formation of collagen (an element of normal tissues), and any deficiency interferes with normal tissue synthesis. How can I tell if I have scurvy? Scurvy is characterized by swollen and bleeding gums with loosened teeth, soreness and stiffness of the joints and lower extremities, bleeding under the skin and in deep tissues, slow wound healing, and anemia. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should consult a physician immediately you may be suffering from scurvy. Here are pictures of some of the scurvy "warning signs". Gingival Hemorrhage Corkscrew Hair Periungual Hemorrhage So what's so special about this ascorbic acid stuff anyway? When collagen is made, the proline amino acids are changed to hydroxyproline, by a process called post-translational modification. An enzyme called prolyl hydroxylase catalyses this change. This enzyme requires an Fe

Scurvy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Scurvy is a disease that results from insufficient intake of vitamin C and leads to the formation of livid spots on the skin, spongy gums and bleeding from almost all mucous membranes . The spots are most abundant on the thighs and legs, and a person with the ailment looks pale, feels depressed, and is partially immobilized. Scurvy was at one time common among sailors whose ships were out to sea longer than perishable fruits and vegetables could be stored and by soldiers who were similarly separated from these foods for extended periods. Symptoms include: weakness joint pain black-and-blue marks on the skin gum disease spongy gums corkscrew hairs It takes about three months of vitamin C deprivation to begin inducing the symptoms of scurvy. Untreated scurvy is always fatal, but since all that is required for full recovery is the resumption of normal vitamin C intake, death by scurvy is rare in modern times. Scurvy was probably first observed as a disease by Hippocrates . In the 13th century the Crusaders suffered from scurvy frequently, and it has inflicted terrible losses on both besieged and besieger in times of war. Scurvy was one of the limiting factors of marine travel, often killing large numbers of the passengers and crew on long-distance voyages. It even played a significant role in

A spokeswoman for the U.N.-affiliated group said doctors were still not completely clear about the outbreak, but now believe it to be scurvy with a secondary infection. Spokeswoman Loretta Hieber-Girardet in Kabul said WHO is ready to send doctors with supplies of the vitamin to the area, but the region is difficult to access without helicopters, which are in short supply. The lack of access to the region has also hindered identification of the disease. Forty people in Ghowr province have died from the disease, and aid workers have seen symptoms in at least 80 people in a dozen villages. Two staff members of the Action Against Hunger humanitarian group also have shown signs of the disease and are under observation. The group said it wants to evacuate its staff from the area.
