QUE SIGNIFIE SCURVY EN ANGLAIS
Scorbut
Le scorbut est une maladie résultant d'une carence en vitamine C, qui est nécessaire pour la synthèse du collagène chez l'homme. Le nom chimique de la vitamine C, l'acide ascorbique, est dérivé du nom latin du scorbut, scorbutus, qui fournit également l'adjectif scorbutique. Le scorbut se présente souvent comme des symptômes de malaise et de léthargie, suivis de la formation de taches sur la peau, des gencives spongifères et des saignements des muqueuses. Les points sont les plus abondants sur les cuisses et les jambes, et une personne atteinte de la maladie semble pâle, se sent dépressive et est partiellement immobilisée. Au fur et à mesure que le scorbut avance, il peut y avoir des plaies ouvertes, suppurantes, des dents, une jaunisse, une fièvre, une neuropathie et la mort. Le scorbut était à la fois commun chez les marins, les pirates et d'autres à bord des navires en mer plus longtemps que les fruits et les légumes périssables pouvaient être stockés et par des soldats également privés de ces aliments pendant de longues périodes. Il a été décrit par Hippocrate, et les guérisons à base de plantes pour le scorbut ont été connues dans de nombreuses cultures indigènes depuis la préhistoire. Le scorbut a été l'un des facteurs limitant les déplacements maritimes, ce qui a souvent entraîné la mort d'un grand nombre de passagers et d'équipage sur des voyages à longue distance.
