Pellagra: 4 D’s and 8 Points

Pellagra

Pellagra is a disease with a considerable historical background. It was mentioned first in the seventeenth century as occurring in Spain and in 1735 it was described accurately by Gasper Casal. His book was not, however, published until 1762. Figure 1 is a reproduction from this book (Major, 1932). Meanwhile M. Thiery described the disease in the Journal de Medecine, Chirurgiv et Pharmacie (Par...

Pellagra.

Pellagra was first described in the 18th century as an epidemic in the poverty-stricken Spanish countryside by Gaspar Casal. Pellagra did not appear in the United States until the turn of the 20th century. It then ravaged the Southern United States and was not eliminated until the 1940s. This short report will redact the descriptions of pellagra in two early textbooks of dermatology. The first,...

Pellagra

can physican, who has closely studied the disease on the continent of Europe as well as in the West and with a close acquaintance with the scattered literature of the subject. He describes the history and prevalence of t,he disease in Spain, Italy, Egypt and America, and points out that it is at present a much more acute disease in the last mentioned country. A full clinical description of the ...

Hilbert schemes of 8 points

The Hilbert scheme H n of n points in A contains an irreducible component R n which generically represents n distinct points in A. We show that when n is at most 8, the Hilbert scheme H n is reducible if and only if n = 8 and d ≥ 4. In the simplest case of reducibility, the component R 8 ⊂ H 8 is defined by a single explicit equation which serves as a criterion for deciding whether a given idea...
