  • Curiosity Guide #306 Skeletal System
    Curiosity Guide #306 Skeletal System Accompanies Curious Crew, Season 3, Episode 6 (#306) Calcium-Rich Bones Investigation #6 Description Explore the role of calcium in making strong bones. Materials 6 chicken bones 6 containers Calcium tablets Vinegar Procedure 1: Prepare the bones 1) Boil the bones to remove any meat. 2) Soak the bones in 1 part bleach to ten parts water for five minutes. 3) Let the bones dry. Procedure 2: Investigate 1) Place one chicken bone in each of the 6 glasses. 2) Pour vinegar over each bone. 3) Do not add any calcium to the first container. 4) In the second container, add 300 milligrams of calcium. 5) In the third container, add 600 mg calcium, 1,200 mg in the fourth, 1,800 mg in the fifth, and 2,400 mg in the sixth. 6) Leave the bones for 5 days. 7) Compare the results. 8) Drop a calcium tablet into a cup of vinegar. How does it react? My Results Explanation In addition to calcium, bones also contain phosphorous. However, it is the calcium salts that make bones rigid. Acids such as vinegar can dissolve those calcium salts and leave the bone soft and rubbery. In this experiment, the more calcium that was in the container, the stronger the bones remained. Because the mineral calcium provides rigidity to the bones, it is important to eat calcium rich foods like low fat dairy; green, leafy vegetables like collard greens; beans; and nuts. A person between the ages of 11 and 24 should consume 1,200 milligrams of calcium every day.

It is endemic to West Java, Indonesia, specifically around Mount Gede, Mount Pangaro and south of Sukabumi. The Bleeding Toad’s scientific name, cruentata, is from the Latin word meaning “bleeding” because of the frog’s overall reddish-purple appearance and blood-red and yellow marbling on its back. Geographical range The population declined drastically after the eruption of Mount Galunggung in 1987. It is Knowledge believed that other declining factors may be habitat alteration, loss, and fragmentation. Experts Although the lethal chytrid fungus, responsible for devastating declines (and possible Get Involved extinctions) in amphibian populations globally, has not been recorded in this area, the sudden decline in a creekside population is reminiscent of declines in similar amphibian species due to the presence of this pathogen. Only one individual Bleeding Toad was sighted from 1990 to 2003. Part of the range of Bleeding Toad is located in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. Future conservation actions should include population surveys and possible captive breeding plans. The production of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is made possible through the IUCN Red List Partnership.

Throughout most of its geographical distribution however, it is considered threatened and only two populations are known from Canada. The biology and ecology of S. hermaphrodita are still poorly understood and although few studies have been performed to determine the factors that contribute to the species rarity, it is considered threatened potentially due to the loss of habitat caused by exotic European Common reed (Phragmites australis subsp.

  • Vegetarian and Vegan Diets and Risks of Total and Site-Specific Fractures: Results from the Prospective EPIC-Oxford Study Tammy Y
    Tong et al. BMC Medicine (2020) 18:353 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-020-01815-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Vegetarian and vegan diets and risks of total and site-specific fractures: results from the prospective EPIC-Oxford study Tammy Y. N. Tong1* , Paul N. Appleby1, Miranda E. G. Armstrong2, Georgina K. Fensom1, Anika Knuppel1, Keren Papier1, Aurora Perez-Cornago1, Ruth C. Travis1 and Timothy J. Key1 Abstract Background: There is limited prospective evidence on possible differences in fracture risks between vegetarians, vegans, and non-vegetarians. We aimed to study this in a prospective cohort with a large proportion of non-meat eaters. Methods: In EPIC-Oxford, dietary information was collected at baseline (1993–2001) and at follow-up (≈ 2010). Participants were categorised into four diet groups at both time points (with 29,380 meat eaters, 8037 fish eaters, 15,499 vegetarians, and 1982 vegans at baseline in analyses of total fractures). Outcomes were identified through linkage to hospital records or death certificates until mid-2016. Using multivariable Cox regression, we estimated the risks of total (n = 3941) and site-specific fractures (arm, n = 566; wrist, n = 889; hip, n = 945; leg, n = 366; ankle, n = 520; other main sites, i.e. clavicle, rib, and vertebra, n = 467) by diet group over an average of 17.6 years of follow-up. Results: Compared with meat eaters and after adjustment for socio-economic factors, lifestyle confounders, and body mass index (BMI), the risks of hip fracture were higher in fish eaters (hazard ratio 1.26; 95% CI 1.02–1.54), vegetarians (1.25; 1.04–1.50), and vegans (2.31; 1.66–3.22), equivalent to rate differences of 2.9 (0.6–5.7), 2.9 (0.9–5.2), and 14.9 (7.9–24.5) more cases for every 1000 people over 10 years, respectively.
