Rickets is defective mineralization or calcification of bones before epiphyseal closure in immature mammals due to deficiency or impaired metabolism of vitamin D,phosphorus or calcium, potentially leading to fractures and deformity. Rickets is among the most frequent childhood diseases in many developing countries. The predominant cause is a vitamin D deficiency, but lack of adequate calcium in the diet may also lead to rickets (cases of severe diarrhea and vomiting may be the cause of the deficiency). Although it can occur in adults, the majority of cases occur in children suffering from severe malnutrition, usually resulting from famine or starvation during the early stages of childhood.
Osteomalacia is a similar condition occurring in adults, generally due to a deficiency of vitamin D but occurs after epiphyseal closure.
Signs and symptoms of rickets include:

Vitamin D refers to a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for enhancing intestinal absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate, and zinc. In humans, the most important compounds in this group are vitamin D3 (also known as cholecalciferol) and vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). Cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol can be ingested from the diet and from supplements. Very few foods contain vitamin D; synthesis of vitamin D (specifically cholecalciferol) in the skin is the major natural source of the vitamin. Dermal synthesis of vitamin D from cholesterol is dependent on sun exposure (specifically UVB radiation).
Vitamin D from the diet or dermal synthesis from sunlight is biologically inactive; activation requires enzymatic conversion (hydroxylation) in the liver and kidney. Evidence indicates the synthesis of vitamin D from sun exposure is regulated by a negative feedback loop that prevents toxicity, but because of uncertainty about the cancer risk from sunlight, no recommendations are issued by the Institute of Medicine (US), for the amount of sun exposure required to meet vitamin D requirements. Accordingly, the Dietary Reference Intake for vitamin D assumes no synthesis occurs and all of a person's vitamin D is from food intake, although that will rarely occur in practice. As vitamin D is synthesized in adequate amounts by most mammals exposed to sunlight, it is not strictly a vitamin, and may be considered a hormone as its synthesis and activity occur in different locations. Vitamin D has a significant role in calcium homeostasis and metabolism. Its discovery was due to effort to find the dietary substance lacking in rickets (the childhood form of osteomalacia).

Rickets is an entirely preventable disease, but Canadian doctors say the fact that it's still showing up points to a bigger problem. »»» Subscribe to The National to watch more videos here: https://www.youtube.com/user/CBCTheNational?sub_confirmation=1 Voice Your Opinion & Connect With Us Online: The National Updates on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenational The National Updates on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CBCTheNational The National Updates on Google+: https://plus.google.com/+CBCTheNational »»» »»» »»» »»» »»» The National is CBC Television's flagship news program.

This piece is from my landscape class with Peter Hutton. We went on this tacky scenic tour of the Hudson on a bright sunny day, and I discovered this effect by shooting into the sun's reflection on the water. No post-production was used - all of the shots were achieved in-camera by adjusting Aperture, Shutter Speed, Focus and Gain settings on my FX1. Music by Tim Clark
Michael Lamoureux was never an athletic individual and he often struggled with the pain of his disability whenever doing any physical activity. When he was introduced to CrossFit – the sport of fitness – he uncovered a new strength within him that inevitably changed the way he thinks about how his body performs. “Keeping Up” is a short film about the perseverance of one man to defy the limitations of his body.

With 13 countries in attendance and over 120 riders competing it was sure to be a great contest. The level of blading at this years Laced contest was unreal! Some of the worlds most elite riders battled it out in the UK's biggest skatepark to see who would take the number one spot home (and a nice wedge of cash). The UK's very own Nick Lomax didnt disappoint the Rampworx crowd with some serious next level blading, enough to earn the USD pro 1st Place in the Pro contest. 2nd place went to Kaltik Pro rider Steve Swain with 3rd place being picked up by Razors Scott Quinn.

It's so simple to look at every little thing I do wrong
It's so simple to overlook every little thing I do right
I think too much, I feed too much
I'm gone too much, I skate too much
I snore too much, I'm blowin too much
I ate too much, I'm way too much, too stuck up
You're probably right this time
But I don't want to listen
You're probably right this time
But I don't even care
I dream too much, I think too much
I step too much, those things too much
I am too much, I'm pissed too much
I need too much, I kinda want to throw
You're probably right this time
But I don't want to listen
You're probably right this time
But I don't even care
And if it was mine to say, I wouldn't say it
And if it was mine to say, I wouldn't speak
