According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin diseases, osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased risk of fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist.1 Geriatric patients are more at risk of developing osteoporosis due to increased age and a decrease…

The bones that are infected are immature and have a weaker bone matrix than normal bones, and tumors grow on the infected area. There are 800 new U.S. cases per year, 400 of which are diagnosed in teenagers. The main symptoms of osteosarcoma include bone pain in a certain area, swelling, bone tissue formation, and limping.…

Research shows that your system needs a specific amount of daily diet for optimal wellbeing.

The surface of Venus was mapped in 1991 by the Magellan expedition, which revealed evidence of extensive volcanic activity on the planet--yet the timing of this volcanic activity remains a mystery. About 80 percent of Venus' surface is covered in volcanic material. Most of the volcanoes are believed to be inactive, yet there is some evidence to suggest more "recently" activity ("recent" in this context meaning within the last 500 million years). There are no lava nor caldera (craters created…

published by national organizations that recommend variable amounts of vitamin D intake.61 The reference values (Dietary Reference Intakes) for vitamin D were established in 1997; however, novel reference values were generated based on higher quality data.40 Significant intake levels of vitamin D are somewhat more complicated and become puzzling for both health care practitioners and casualty peoples . The levels of vitamin D in the body may come from not only synthesis in the skin through UVB…
