Scurvy as a Cause of Leg Pain and Limp in Pediatric and Adolescent Patients by Christopher J. DeFrancesco, MD, David Kell, BA, Sean Owens, BS, Matt Grady, MD, Naomi Brown, MD

“…Key Concepts: (1) Scurvy, the condition caused by vitamin C deficiency, is not a historical disease, with research suggesting that its incidence in the US is on the rise. (2) Scurvy can result in lower extremity pain and limping among children, who may present for orthopaedic evaluation. (3) An increased index of suspicion for vitamin C deficiency should be maintained for any child with a history of restrictive eating, especially those with a history of autism spectrum disorder. (4) Orthopaedic providers should know the specific MRI and x-ray findings characteristic of vitamin C deficiency. (5) Vitamin C levels can be repleted in weeks with proper supplementation, but children with scurvy due to restrictive eating generally require continued intervention from nutrition and/or feeding specialists.…”

The Effects of Lutein and Zeaxanthin Supplementation on Brain Morphology in Older Adults: A Randomized, Controlled Trial by Catherine M. Mewborn, Cutter A. Lindbergh, B. Randy Hammond, Lisa M. Renzi-Hammond, L. Stephen Miller

“…Structural brain outcomes, focusing on global and frontal-temporal lobe regions, were acquired using both T1-weighted and DTI MRI sequences. We hypothesized that the supplement group would increase, maintain, or show attenuated loss in hypothesized regions-of-interest (ROIs) while the placebo group would show age-related declines in brain structural integrity over the course of the trial. …”
