inflammation of the air sacs and connective tissues of a localized segment of the lung.

Severity of the problem: Varies with the cause and extent of the inflammation. Some pneumonias are life-threatening, while others are comparatively mild illnesses. Also depends on the general health and immunity of the person.

Contagious? Very few of the pneumonias are truly contagious, in the sense of passing from one person to another. The organisms that cause most are already present in the environment and in other people.

Treatment depends on the cause. General measures include rest; support of breathing, if needed; drinking of much liquid; medications to fight infection, stop cough and open up airways, as needed.

Prevention depends on cause. Many pneumonias that are infectious occur for no apparent reason in a person who has often been exposed to the same organism. Temporary stress, weakness or other change in resistance (which usually cannot be detected) influences the persons getting pneumonia.

Words and word combinations:

Fungal – грибковый; Inhale – вдыхать; Determine-определить; Contagious – заразный, инфекционный; Occur - встречаться, происходить; Frequent - частый

RICKETS (VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY)

Rickets is a chronic nutritional disorder of the young, characterized by changes in the bones. Rickets is characterized by an alteration in the structure and growth of bones, which become enlarged at the extremities and so soft that they bend under the weight of the body. It occurs during the first two-years of life, when growth is rapid. The symptoms develop gradually, and when well advanced the disease is characterized by restlessness and night sweating, delayed dentition, softening of the skull bones, and flabby muscles. Rickets is responsible for bowed legs, knock knees, flat-feet, and saber legs.

НЕ нашли? Не то? Что вы ищете?

Rickets constitute one of the important diseases of infancy on account of its prevalence, its serious complications and sequelae.

Rickets first manifested itself in Europe in the 16th century. The reason is obvious. Populations, particularly in England — a country, never noted for its abundance of sunlight were attracted to city life and with its impoverished diet and bad housing.

Rickets begins to increase in the fall, becomes more marked in the winter, and reaches its peak in March; it then declines steadily, and new cases rarely develop after June. Rickets is most frequent during the second half of the first year of life or the first half of the second year. It often occurs earlier, but is not congenital. Premature infants are notably predisposed to rickets, probably on account of their exceptionally rapid rate of growth.

The earliest symptoms are restlessness, irritability, and head sweating — signs which are suggestive rather than indicative. Soon thereafter, enlargement of the costochondrial junctions (the rachitic rosary) develops. This is a reliable early sign of rickets. The head becomes somewhat square in shape, the fontanel is too widely open, the areas of softness may be felt along the lower part of the occipitoparietal suture.

By the early 20th century, Americans could not get enough of the confection called chewing gum invented by Thomas Adams.

The ancient Greeks chewed mastiche - a chewing gum made from the resin of the mastic tree.

The ancient Mayans chewed chicle* which is the sap* from the sapodilla tree*.

North American Indians chewed the sap from spruce trees and passed the habit along to the settlers.

Early American settlers made a chewing gum from spruce* sap and beeswax.

In 1848 John B. Curtis made and sold the first commercial chewing gum called the State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum. In 1850 Curtis started selling flavored paraffin gums becoming more popular than spruce gums.

On December 28, 1869 William Finley Semple became the first person to patent a chewing gum - U. S patent #98,304.

In 1869 Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna introduced Thomas Adams to chicle.

In 1871 Thomas Adams patented a machine for the manufacture of gum.

In 1880 John Colgan invented a way to make chewing gum taste better for a longer period of time while being chewed.

By 1888 an Adams' chewing gum called Tutti-Frutti became the first chew to be sold in a vending machine. The machines were located in a New York City subway station.

In 1899 Dentyne gum was created by New York druggist Franklin V. Canning.

In 1906 Frank Fleer invented the first bubble gum called Blibber-Blubber gum. However, the bubble blowing chew was never sold.

In 191, Wrigley Doublemint brand was created. William Wrigley, Jr. and Henry Fleer were responsible for adding the popular mint and fruit extracts to a chicle chewing gum.

In 1928 an employee of the Frank H. Fleer Company, Walter Diemer invented the successful pink colored Double Bubble, bubble gum. The very first bubble gum was invented by Frank Henry Fleer in 1906. He called it Blibber-Blubber. Fleer's recipe was later perfected by Walter Diemer who called his product Double Bubble.

Words:

* chicle - чикл (натуральный каучук) , жвачка, жевательная резинка

* sap - сок (растений) ; живица

* саподилла (Anglophile); сапотовое дерево

* ель syn: fir хвойное дерево

In 1905 the first scientist to determine that if special factors (vitamins) were removed from food disease occurred was Englishmen, William Fletcher. Doctor Fletcher was researching the causes of the disease Beriberi when he discovered that eating unpolished rice prevented Beriberi and eating polished rice did not. William Fletcher believed that there were special nutrients contained in the husk of the rice.

In 1906 English biochemist Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins also discovered that certain food factors were important to health. In 1912, Polish scientist Cashmir Funk named the special nutritional parts of food as a "vitamine" after "vita" meaning life and "amine" from compounds found in the thiamine he isolated from rice husks. Vitamine was later shortened to vitamin. Together, Hopkins and Funk formulated the vitamin hypothesis of deficiency disease - that a lack of vitamins could make you sick.

Elmer V. McCollum and M. Davis discovered vitamin A during 1912–1914. In 1913 Yale researchers, Thomas Osborne and Lafayette Mendel discovered that butter contained a fat-soluble nutrient soon known as vitamin A. Vitamin A was first synthesized in 1947.

Casimir Funk discovered B1 in 1912. D. T. Smith, E. G. Hendrick discovered B2 in 1926. Max Tishler and Robert Williams - Inventors of Synthetic Vitamins; Max Tishler invented methods for synthesizing the essential vitamin B2. Lucy Wills discovered Folic acid in 1933. Paul Gyorgy discovered B6 in 1934.

In 1747 Scottish naval surgeon James Lind discovered that an nutrient (now known to be vitamin C) in citrus foods prevented scurvy. It was rediscovered by Norwegians, A. Hoist and T. Froelich in 1912. Vitamin C was the first vitamin to be artificially synthesized in 1935. A process invented by Dr. Tadeusz Reichstein, of the Swiss Institute of Technology in Zurich. In 1922, Edward Mellanby discovered Vitamin D while researching a disease called rickets. In 1922 University of California researchers, Herbert Evans and Katherine Bishop discovered vitamin E in green leafy vegetables.
