Significant past medical history included the following: She was adopted from Russia and according the Russian medical documents was born to a mother who suffered from alcohol abuse. She was born prematurely (gestational age not available) at 2000gms, 44cm, with an apgar of 5/6. Furthermore, she had previously been diagnosed with encephalopathy, anemia, fetal alcohol syndrome and rickets. - Since arriving here in the U.S., the adopted mother had her on vitamin supplements for 7 weeks. The mother states that the child began walking at the age of 27 months. She was seen by both orthopaedics and pediatrics and her physical exam was as follows: - She was well below the 5th percentile for both height and weight - There was delayed psycho-motor and speech development - Multiple rachitic deformities of the skeleton to include severe bowing of the tibias bilaterally (45 degrees), pigeon chest (pectus carinatum), thickened/widened wrists bilaterally and a trendelenberg gait on the left side.

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.

Enter "rickets" into a web search engine, and you'll find more than you probably ever wanted to know about it. (Lubenow, like many creationists, claims that Neandertals are normal humans afflicted with diseases such as rickets) Although rickets is certainly an uncommon disease nowadays, these pages demonstrate that rickets is not only well known to the medical profession, but routinely taught to medical students. Many medical textbooks (and veterinary ones; animals get rickets too) have a description of it.

X-ray Rickets is a childhood disorder involving softening and weakening of the bones. It is primarily caused by lack of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate. Osteomalacia in children; Vitamin D deficiency; Renal rickets Vitamin D may be absorbed from food by the intestines or may be produced by the skin when the skin is exposed to sunlight. In its active form, vitamin D acts as a hormone to regulate calcium absorption from the intestine and to regulate levels of calcium and phosphate in the bones. Sunlight is important to skin production of vitamin D, and environmental conditions where sunlight exposure is limited may reduce this source of vitamin D. Lack of vitamin D production by the skin may occur if a person is confined indoors, or works indoors during the daylight hours, or lives in climates with little exposure to sunlight.

    Extractions: Home Attachment Parenting Rickets has been in the news lately, especially in association with breastfeeding. Before digging into those reports, let's cover the basics: The Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics says " Rickets is the term signifying a failure in mineralization of growing bone or osteoid tissue....During the first third of this century, the predominant cause of rickets was nutritional deficiency of vitamin D due either to inadequate direct exposure to ultraviolet rays in sunlight (296-310 nm; these rays do not pass through ordinary window glass) or to inadequate intake of vitamin D, or both. Vitamin D deficiency rickets is rare among infants and children in the industrialized countries. Deficiency may occur in unsupplemented dark-skinned infants or in breast-fed infants of mothers unexposed to sunlight." (p. 184) Vitamin D does not itself deposit into bone, but it's a crucial part of the metabolic pathway that allows new bone cells to take up calcium and so harden ("mineralize"). Cow's milk and infant formula these days are routinely fortified with vitamin D. Previously, cod liver oil was one of the better sources, which accounts for it being given to children. The precursor of vitamin D is naturally available in human skin and automatically converted to vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight, so you can do without the supplement if you're exposed to sunlight see, that stuff about getting out and playing in the fresh air is not just your mother trying to get rid of you.

Greer, MD Section on Breastfeeding and Committee on Nutrition ABSTRACT Rickets in infants attributable to inadequate vitamin D intake and decreased exposure to sunlight continues to be reported in the United States. It is recommended that all infants, including those who are exclusively breastfed, have a minimum intake of 200 IU of vitamin D per day beginning during the first 2 months of life. In addition, it is recommended that an intake of 200 IU of vitamin D per day be continued throughout childhood and adolescence, because adequate sunlight exposure is not easily

One expert argues that it's likely, since nineteenth-century London was, as he puts it, "miserable." Any sunlight capable of piercing the English gloom was almost certainly trapped by industrial smog back then. Sunlight is not the only potential source of rickets-preventing vitamin D, of course. But the Cratchit family's meager diet was hardly healthful enough to prevent a case of the infamous disease that crippled so many nineteenth-century children. Bah, humbug, retort other experts. The Cratchit child clearly had some other crippling disease.

    An excerpt on rickets from the Disney Encyclopedia of Baby and Child Care.  
    http://familyfun.go.com/parenting/child/health/childhealth/dony89enc_rick/
    
    Extractions: This bone disorder is most commonly caused by a nutritional deficiency of vitamin D or an inherited inability to utilize vitamin D, which is essential for skeletal development. It also may be caused by very rare, inherited disorders of metabolism, certain types of liver and kidney disease, and diseases that interfere with the absorption of vitamin D. Since sunlight triggers the conversion of a substance in the skin to vitamin D, lack of sun exposure also can lead to vitamin D deficiency rickets. Premature infants, babies with dark skin, and breast-fed babies whose mothers are poorly nourished or unexposed to sunlight are a particular risk. WHEN SHOULD I SUSPECT THAT MY CHILD HAS RICKETS? Vitamin D deficiency rickets is most common in children between four months and two years of age. If other family members are affected, the inherited forms of the disease may be diagnosed in early infancy, since doctors will be alert to the possibility that it may develop. Otherwise, inherited rickets may not become apparent until the child starts to walk. Symptoms of rickets include restlessness, irritability, trouble sleeping, pelvic pain, muscle weakness and slowed development, such as difficulty in learning to crawl or walk. An infant with rickets may have extremely thin skull bones that get indented with slight pressure and spring back to normal when pressur is removed. Babies over six months old with rickets may have flattened, square skulls, and their fontanels (the soft spots on the head) may remain open longer than normal.
