WHAT DOES BERIBERI MEAN IN SPANISH?

Beriberi

Beriberi is a disease caused by the deficiency of vitamin B1 whose name comes from the Sinhala Beri which means "I can not", emphasizing with this term the marked fatigue that the patients of this deficiency show. The disease mainly affects the nervous and cardiovascular systems, so that the typical clinical picture is presented with anorexia, general malaise, weakness and paresthesias in the legs. It can also present with edema and palpitations. Classically, two presentations are described in adults and one in children or newborns. In adults, a "dry beriberi" is described if neurological symptoms or "wet beriberi" predominate if cardiovascular symptoms predominate. It is usually caused by insufficient diets, unbalanced or kept for too long. It became endemic in some regions highly dependent on rice when its mechanical husking became widespread. It is precisely there where the main deposits of thiamine reside in the rice grain.

Definition of beriberi in the Spanish dictionary

The definition of beriberi in the dictionary is a disease characterized by polyneuritis, general weakness and painful limb stiffness. It is a form of vitamin deficiency caused by the almost exclusive consumption of husked rice.
