Rickets Thesis

Branch Rickey a pioneer in the sport of baseball, taking it to where no owner of any baseball club even thought to go. Rickey was the first baseball executive to successfully, or even try to sign a black man to a major league contract. In 1946, Rickey signed on Jackie Roosevelt Robinson from the Kansas City Monarchs, a negro league team, to the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Triple A baseball team, smashing the racial barrier present in baseball for the last five decades. Rickey is a significant figure in American history because he is the first person to integrate a Major League Baseball roster.

Many of you have heard about Ricky Williams, as he infamously gave up a promising career to smoke pot. This is not another Ricky Williams, but someone who believes so strongly that marijuana should be allowed in the NFL it led to his retirement. Eugene Monroe: at 28 years old he played his last down in the NFL. After speaking out about the corrupt NFL drug policy Monroe was cut from the Baltimore Ravens. After constant use of opiates to treat his pain, he tried the Earth’s natural medicine: marijuana. He came to a conclusion that marijuana worked just as well as the chemical opiates, if not better. Although his decision to speak out about it may have cost him a lot of money and a promising career, he doesn’t regret becoming standing up for

Red Rodney was a famous trumpeter and bandleader in the 20th century. He was born in Philadelphia on the 27th of September 1927 and was known as a child prodigy when he was young (Voce, 2011). At the beginning, Red Rodney taught himself the trumpet and later he went to a school named “Jules E. Masterbaum Vocational” in his hometown Philadelphia to study trumpet (Schwab, 2010). Red started playing with Jerry World Orchestra only at the age of 15 and then he also played with Benny Goodman, Jimmy Dorsey and Gene Krupa (Chesky Records, n.d.).

In search of April Raintree by Beatrice Culleton Mosionier is an excellent book and explains how we can lose our identity in life. April's denial and eventual acceptance of being a Metis is one example of how Beatrice depicts on how we search for ourselves. There are many ways that we can end up losing our identity. For many people the number one way is an addiction that forces us to make changes that we would not necessarily make . As for Cheryl she would most certainly fall into that category, even though early on in her life you could see that she had so much to offer, and displayed a very high intelligence.

There is no doubt that slavery affected many lives of across the country. However, little is known that the harsh practices of slave trade occurred right in the middle of our nations capital. After reading the articles by Ricks and Goodheart, I have broadened by knowledge on just how extreme slavery was in Washington D.C. Throughout these articles, the authors discuss the seriousness level of slavery and the extremes individuals would go through in order to escape. Washington D.C. was conveniently located in the middle of the border between the north and south, which led escape efforts to be fostered in this area even though it was the capital.

During the Holocaust there were many death camps, but do you know exactly what happened to the people in those camps? Understanding what the Treblinka camp was like, where it was, the amount of people that died, and if there were any revolts may give us a better insight of the camp itself.

In the mid sixteenth century Rickets, a bone deforming disease was first described by F. Glisson in children who started to migrate to city centers due to industrial revolution1. The implication of exposure to the sunlight in the prevention and cure of this disease was first recognized by Sniadecki in 1822 2. Later these observations were extended by Palm in 1890 who concluded that rickets in children was due to the lack of sun exposure and promoted the systemic use of sun baths to prevent rickets3.

“Vitamin D is essential for strong bones it helps the body to use the Calcium from the diet”, (Dunkin, M. 2014). Rickets has been originally partnered with vitamin D deficiency and more recently it has been found that vitamin D helps with a myriad of conditions in the body. (Web Md 2014)

The fractures were consistent with failure of the bones to handle the load of falling or accidents, and they can be “distinguished from fractures seen in non-accidental trauma.” Therefore, in this study Vitamin D did not pose as a major cause of the fractures in infants or toddlers. The data researched and presented in the Pediatric Radiology Journal states, “that there is not any comparable information that poor mineralization in infants results in easier fracturing.” However, lack of or reduced bone mineralization can result in fracturing of bones in elderly people and older children. Nonetheless, Rickets is not a major contributing cause of fractures in young infants and toddlers. Although, it is still beneficial to consume appropriate amounts of Vitamin D, Calcium, and phosphorous in daily diets for an overall nutritional health regardless the age of the individual and the results of studies regarding “load bearing

Scurvy is less likely differential diagnosis that may be associated with the signs and symptoms of this patient. Scurvy is associated with a state of dietary deficiency of vitamin C. Although it is uncommon, it still occurs and can affect children who have chronic dietary vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin C is relevant for the triple-helix formation of collagen; a vitamin C deficiency results in impaired collagen synthesis, which typically typical manifest by poor wound healing that is noted in collagen tissues and in organs such as skin, cartilage, dentine, osteoid, and capillary blood vessels (McCance & Huether, 2014). Pathologic changes in affected children are associated with bone changes during periods of rapid bone growth. The bony

The growth and development of the human skeleton requires an adequate supply of many different nutritional factors. Classical nutrient deficiencies are associated with stunting (e.g. energy, protein, Zn), rickets (e.g. vitamin D) and other bone abnormalities. In recent years there has been interest in the role nutrition may play in bone growth at intakes above those required to prevent classical deficiencies, particularly in relation to optimizing peak bone mass and minimizing osteoporosis risk. There is evidence to suggest that peak bone mass and later fracture risk are influenced by the pattern of growth in childhood and by nutritional exposures in utero, in infancy and during childhood and adolescence. Of the individual nutrients, particular attention has been paid to Ca, vitamin D, protein and P. There has also been interest in several food groups, particularly dairy products, fruit and vegetables and foods contributing to acid–base balance. However, it is not possible at the present time to define dietary reference values using bone health as a criterion, and the question of what type of diet constitutes the best support for optimal bone growth and development remains open. As to the 17 month old male toddler that is brought in by the parents, is noticed crawling around on the floor while parents are preparing a snack of Dorito chips and bottle of juice substitute and the weight in the chart starts 32lbs.
