Knaysi, Georges (Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.). Determination, by spodography, of the intracellular distribution of mineral matter throughout the life history of Bacillus cereus. J. Bacteriol. 82:556-563. 1961.-The intracellular distribution of mineral matter throughout the life history of Bacillus cereus strain C(3) was investigated by microincineration for which the term spodography is s...

BACKGROUND One of the most challenging aspects of a revision knee arthroplasty is the management of bone loss. The OBJECTIVE of the study is to show the capability to augment bone mineral density in areas with bone loss with platelet-derived growth factors. METHODS Randomized, prospective, blinded study in patients who underwent a total knee replacement revision with tibial-damaged metaphysea...

The determinants of bone mineral density (BMD) at multiple sites were examined in a fit college population. Subjects were 755 males (mean age = 18.7 years) entering the United States Military Academy. A questionnaire assessed exercise frequency and milk, caffeine, and alcohol consumption and tobacco use. Academy staff measured height, weight, and fitness. Calcaneal BMD was measured by periphera...

Disturbance of mineral status in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) is one of many complications of this disease. Trace elements analysis in hair is sometime used by clinicians for a diagnosis of mineral status. In the present study concentration of magnesium and other trace elements was determined in serum, erythrocytes, and hair of patients with CRF undergoing hemodialysis (n = 31) and...

OBJECTIVE An experiment was conducted to evaluate dietary supplemental trace mineral source and deletion on mineral content in tissues. METHODS Weanling crossbred pigs (n = 144; 72 barrows and 72 gilts; body weight [BW] = 7.4±1.05 kg) were used. A basal diet was prepared, and trace mineral premix containing either inorganic (ITM) or organic (OTM) trace minerals (Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn) was added ...

Quantification of the Nitrogen (N)-supplying capacity of organic manures provides an important insight into more effective N management practices. The aims of this study were to determine the potential N mineralization of cow manure (CM), poultry manure (PM), urea fertilizer (UF) and the combined use of cow manure + urea fertilizer (CM + UF) for silage maize (Zea mays L.) in a calcareous so...

Large quantities of crop residue and animal manure from agricultural and livestock activities are annually produced worldwide. With proper management, these residues are potentially valuable sources of plant nutrients, mainly N. Recycling such subproducts in sustainably-based agricultural systems can minimise the use of mineral fertilisers, and hence reduce the potential risk of surface and gro...

BACKGROUND To examine bone mineral density in extremely low birth weight infants at discharge and investigate whether serial measurements of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and phosphate can predict bone mineralization. METHODS The individuals were 70 preterm infants. Serum calcium, phosphate, and ALP were measured at weekly intervals during admission in extremely low birth weight infants (m...
