OBJECTIVES To review and synthesize published literature on the efficacy of multivitamin/mineral supplements and certain single nutrient supplements in the primary prevention of chronic disease in the general adult population, and on the safety of multivitamin/mineral supplements and certain single nutrient supplements, likely to be included in multivitamin/mineral supplements, in the general p...

This study purposed to investigate the relationship between physical activity level and bone mineral density (BMD) in the elderly of Amirkola in northern Iran. This cross-sectional study was part of a proposal to assess the situation of the elderly in Amirkola (AHAP) (Amirkola Health and Ageing Project) conducted on 1113 elderly individuals (616 males and 497 females) in Amirkola city. Physic...

As more data are accumulated it becomes increasingly evident that great variations exist in the mineral content of different samples of the same foodstuff. Only when a large number of samples from different parts of the country have been analyzed will it be possible to approximate the probable mineral content of our diet. With the data now available it is difficult to draw any safe conclusion a...

The aim of this study is to show the artificial neural network (ANN) on classification of mineral based on color values of pixels. Twenty two images were taken from the thin sections using a digital camera mounted on the microscope and transmitted to a computer. Images, under both plane-polarized and cross-polarized light, contain maximum intensity. To select training and test data, 5-fold-cros...

purpose: given that weight and body mass index (bmi) are considered as modifiable factors in osteoporosis, the present study aimed to examine the relationship of weight and bmi with bone mineral density (bmd) and bone mineral content (bmc) at the femur and lumbar vertebrae in perimenopausal women. methods: in this descriptive-correlational study, we measured the bone density of the femur and lu...

Pseudomonas chlororaphis strain L19, isolated from stone coal soil, has the ability to perform bioleaching to release vanadium ions from mineral ore. Here, we report the draft genome sequence and annotation of the vanadium-leaching bacterium Pseudomonas chlororaphis L19. These data provide information for understanding the genomic properties and mineral bioleaching mechanisms of strain L19.
