object: the gold standard for evaluating bone mineral density is dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (dexa).  prior studies have shown poor reliability using analog wrist x-rays in diagnosing osteoporosis. our goal was to investigate if there was improved diagnostic value to visual assessment of digital hand x-rays in osteoporosis screening. we hypothesized that similar to analog counterparts, dig...

In this study we examine whether feelings of inclusion are correlated with identity integration, and if so, what effect this interaction might have on conflict adaptation. Our first hypothesis is that we will find a positive relationship between identity integration (II) and conflict adaptation. Our second hypothesis is that we will see a positive relationship between II and feelings of inclusi...

THE first description of the inclusion bodies of trachoma was made by Halberstaedter and von Prowazek following the examination of Giemsa-stained scrapings from the conjunctivae of baboons which had been inoculated with secretions from trachomatous patients (cf. Julianelle, 1938). Since then Giemsa and its modifications have held prime place as a means of demonstrating these structures and this...

2. Secondary mineral deficiencies are by far the most common of the two. Secondary deficiencies are derived from the consumption of one or more mineral antagonists that interfere with the normal metabolism of another mineral. A simple mineral evaluation of a feedstuff may suggest that adequate trace mineral concentrations are present; however, the presence of a mineral antagonist will decrease ...

Ethiopia is one of the developing countries with a high prevalence micronutrient deficiencies and protein-energy malnutrition. Vitamin A most versatile vitamins roles in various functions such as vision, immune defense, maintenance body linings skin. Fortifying cereals through processing conventional breeding can tackle deficiency. Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP) source food that contains us...
