To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists temperatures between 100 kelvins and 1000 kelvins. An order of magnitude is the class of scale or magnitude of any amount, where each class contains values of a fixed ratio to the class preceding it. ... The kelvin (symbol: K) is the SI unit of temperature, and is one of the seven SI base units. ...

Vitamin K (2826 words)
Vitamin K is involved as a cofactor in the posttranslational gamma-carboxylation of glutamic acid residues of certain proteins in the body.
Vitamin K is used to treat anticoagulant-induced prothrombin deficiency caused by warfarin, hypoprothrombinemia secondary to antibiotic therapy and hypoprothrombinemia secondary to vitamin C deficiency from various causes, including malabsorption syndromes.
Vitamin K is indicated in those with vitamin K deficiency, in some cases of hemorrhagic disease of the newborn, in some malabsorption syndromes and in some on long-term total parenteral nutrition.
