QUÉ SIGNIFICA SCURVY EN INGLÉS
Escorbuto
El escorbuto es una enfermedad resultante de una deficiencia de vitamina C, que se requiere para la síntesis de colágeno en los seres humanos. El nombre químico para la vitamina C, ácido ascórbico, se deriva del nombre latino del escorbuto, scorbutus, que también proporciona el adjetivo scorbutic. El escorbuto a menudo se presenta inicialmente como síntomas de malestar y letargo, seguido de formación de manchas en la piel, encías esponjosas y sangrado de las membranas mucosas. Los puntos son más abundantes en los muslos y las piernas, y una persona con la dolencia se ve pálida, se siente deprimida y está parcialmente inmovilizada. A medida que avanza el escorbuto, puede haber heridas abiertas y supurantes, pérdida de dientes, ictericia, fiebre, neuropatía y muerte. El escorbuto ya era común entre marineros, piratas y otros que se encontraban a bordo de barcos en el mar durante más tiempo que las frutas y verduras perecederas podían ser almacenadas y por soldados igualmente privados de estos alimentos durante largos períodos. Fue descrita por Hipócrates, y curas a base de hierbas para el escorbuto se han conocido en muchas culturas nativas desde la prehistoria. El escorbuto era uno de los factores limitantes de los viajes marítimos, a menudo matando a un gran número de pasajeros y tripulantes en viajes de larga distancia.
