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…

There is a wide range in the causes and severity of vertebral fractures. They can be the result of low impact activities on bones weakened by osteoporosis or can be very serious injuries arsing from high impact events that can require emergency treatment. Osteoporosis causes more than 8.9 million fractures annually, resulting in an osteoporotic fracture every 3 seconds (International Osteoporosis Foundation, 2016).Osteoporosis can result in fractures occurring from low impact activities such as…
VITAMINS Vitamins are organic compounds that take part in a wide range of metabolic activities. Vitamin deficiencies can cause a variety of health problems. Cats cannot produce some vitamins from precursors (pre-vitamin structures) in the diet. For example, they must get all of the vitamin A and niacin they need directly from the food they eat.

The levels of vitamin D in the body may come from not only synthesis in the skin through UVB…

the cavity. The sponge absorbs the blood and helps to retain the clot formed. This helps in bone healing and regeneration of bone. In the third Group C of 7 patients autogenous tooth bone graft (AutoBT) was used to fill the cavity. Patient’s third molar tooth is extracted and sent to tooth bank to get it grinded in granule form of 400- 800µm. Sterilization of the material is done. After enucleation and curettage this granular form AutoBT is filled in the cavity and then gingival flap is…
