A study of the blood in rickets
… blood in thirty cases of active, uncomplicated rickets in children between the ages of 13 months and three years. One case of a child aged 6.5 years I have included because I felt justified in classing it as a case of pure active rickets. The majority of these cases were under the care of the …

Rickets with special reference to modern views on the etiology and treatment
The theories as to the Cause of Rickets which have most vogue are:- The Vitamin Theory, The Domestication Theory, and Eric Pritchard’s Acidosis Theory, all of which one can follow in one’s work as probable causes. The results of Rickets are still painfully obvious, but there is no doubt that Child …

An Investigotion of the Prevalence of Rickets among Subadults from the Romon Necropolis of lsola Sacra (1st to 3rd centuries AD), Italy
<p>The earliest written reference to rickets comes from Soranus of Ephesus, a Roman medical writer of the early second century AD who describes a high number of children in Rome suffering from rochitic deformities. The current study utilizes two independent forms of evidence, skeletal and historic, …

Hypophosphatemic Rickets: A Targeted Literature Review to Characterize the Multiple Causes of Phosphate Wasting Disorders and Identify Potential Disease Biomarkers
<p>Hypophosphatemic rickets is a rare, renal phosphate wasting disorder that presents various skeletal deformities. Although there are specific clinical presentations and biochemical findings used to identify hypophosphatemic rickets, there are various underlying renal phosphate wasting disorders …

Aspects of nutrition, metabolism and growth of the low birth weight infant
… correlation between the radiological features of rickets and plasma alkaline phosphatase activity which therefore may be used to screen for and monitor rickets in preterm infants. Routine dietary calcium supplementation reduced the incidence and severity of rickets in such infants. Hepatic …

Clinical Diagnosis, Genetic Background and Treatment of Vitamin-D Resistant Hypophosphatemic Ricket
… (XLH) is the most common heritable form of rickets. It involves loss-of-function mutations in the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene, which give rise to the increase of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Excess FGF23 reduces renal phosphate reabsorption, hence …

… with skeletal evidence of childhood stress (LEH, rickets, residual rickets) who were suitable for isotopic analysis. Radiographic analysis of the dental pulp chamber was also performed on these individuals to identify childhood vitamin D deficiency. A total of 20 adults (20/157) and 22 non-adults …

Obstetric practice and cephalopelvic disproportion in Glasgow between 1840 and 1900
… these cases involved women who had suffered from rickets as a child, and had a deformed pelvis as a result. During this period the number of children affected by rickets appeared to increase, and as a consequence more cases of disproportion were encountered towards the end of the century. …

Studies on the Role of Vitamin D in the Mineralization of Bone: A Vitamin D-dependent Serum Protein That Stimulates the Incorporation of 45 Calcium by Bone Cells in Vitro
Research in the 1920's established that rickets, a bone disease in which newly synthesized osteoid matrix does not calcify, was caused by a dietary deficiency in the fat-soluble vitamin D. These investigators concluded that vitamin D was necessary for the normal mineralization of bone. After 50 …

Déploiement et évaluation d’une offre de test de dépistage néonatal pour le rachitisme vitamino-dépendant de type 1A
Vitamin D-Dependent Rickets Type 1A (VDDR1A) is an autosomal recessive inherited disease caused by variants in the CYP27B1 gene, which is required for vitamin D activation. Although rare worldwide, the prevalence is 1 in 2916 births in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean (SLSJ), Haute-Côte-Nord (HCN) and …

The life course of Vitamin D: the risk of deficiency in British Archaeological Populations
… archaeological populations. The assessment for rickets and osteomalacia within three populations that span from the 10th to 19th century in England was conducted and the results were integrated with the bio-cultural variables specific to each population. The purpose of this was to identify the …
