Bone Mass Density and Osteomyelitis in Elderly-An Overview
Abstract: Bone mass density (BMD) plays a critical role in skeletal health, particularly in the elderly, where age-related bone loss increases susceptibility to infections such as osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis, a severe bone infection often caused by Staphylococcus aureus, is more prevalent in older adults due to factors such as osteoporosis, impaired immune function, diabetes, and peripheral vascular disease. Reduced BMD weakens bone integrity, making it more vulnerable to fractures and microbial invasion, …

Response of Zea mays to Rhizophagus Intraradices with 50% Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilizer Prevents the Release of N2O From the Soil
Abstract: The healthy growth of Zea mays (maize) requires NH4NO3/PO4--3 fertilizers (ammonium nitrate and phosphates), are applied in unregulated doses, are associated to denitrification, generating greenhouse gases, causing global warming, loss of soil productivity, and pollution of surface water in case of phosphates. An alternative is to decrease and optimize the dose of NH4NO3/PO4--3 by applying arbuscular vesicle fungi (AVF), to optimize, the dose of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, AVF endosymbionts …
