cleft palate cause?

Back 25

cause= nutritional deficiencies

Front 26

osteoporosis cause?

Front 28

osteitis deformans cause?

Back 28

common; disorganized reabsorption/reformation of bone tissue, viral

Front 29

osteomalacia cause?

Back 29

cause: Vit D deficiency; common in underdeveloped countries

Back 30

painful infection; after penetrating wound, surgery, fracture; pus filled abscesses spinal disorders (eg bone disease, poor posture, weak ligaments) due to trauma
