background: old laying hens are more prone to dietary calcium (ca) and phosphorus (p) deficiencies as  they absorb ca and p less efficiently than younger hens. objectives: in a 2×2 factorial design, the influence of diets with two levels of available phosphorus (ap) and phytase enzyme on the laying performance, egg quality and tibia bone characteristics of laying hens at their late 2nd producti...

conclusions it seems that nasal spray of calcitonin can effectively improve qol of women with lbd and qol changes were not influenced by clinical or para-clinical alteration. mental health domain must be more considered in further studies as a predicting domain for health-related quality of life (hr-qol) changes. background physical activity and mental health could be affected by osteoporosis a...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is a demyelinating disease which can cause many disabilities for the patient. recent data suggests that ms patients have higher risk for osteoporosis. this study was performed to investigate if the osteoporosis prevalence is higher in ms patients and to determine the possible factors affecting bone mineral density (bmd). methods: 51 definite relapsing-remitti...

This study was undertaken to assess the frequency of decreased bone mineral density and its risk factors as well as its impact on the quality of life during childhood among hemophiliac patients. Materials and Methods: Thirty seven children with severe hemophilia A and B, referred to Mofid Children’s Hospital during 2010, were selected. For all patients the joint score, body mass indexes, bone...

conclusions: in the current study, quality of life was correlated with serum calcium level, calcium-phosphate product, and serum pth level, while hospitalization was correlated only with serum phosphorus level. however, quality of life was inversely correlated with hospitalization. background: significant impairment in health-related quality of life (hrqol) among dialysis patients could be part...

an experiment employing a factorial arrangement of three levels (0, 8 and 16%) of canola meal (cm), two levels (0.15 and 0.25%) of nonphytate phosphorus (npp), and two levels (0 and 450 unit/kg; as fed basis) of microbial phytase was conducted using 216 hy-line w36 laying hens from 39 to 47 weeks of age. the birds receiving cm consumed more (p < 0.05) feed than birds receiving corn-soybean meal...
