Caused by the lack of a minute quantity of the chemical thiamin, or vitamin B1 in the diet, beriberi is characterized by weakness and loss of feeling in the feet and legs, then swelling from fluid retention, and finally heart failure. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Beri-beri|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85013323|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Vitamin B1|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85143962|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Beri-beri.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/830724 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Vitamin B1.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1168170 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Geschiedenis (vorm)|0(NL-LeOCL)088143147|2gtt 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCarpenter, Kenneth J.
