A technique called digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR), used to measure bone density, can also identify people with a higher risk of hip fracture. Researchers suggest that DXR, similar to other more expensive methods, could potentially be used to identify people at risk for osteoporosis, a...
It has long been known that breast density, or mammographic density, is a strong risk factor for breast cancer, and that estrogen and progestin hormone therapy increases dense breast tissue. Now, a study published in BioMed Central's open access journal Breast Cancer Research has identified...
Violent crime could be reduced significantly if policymakers at the local level limit the number of neighborhood liquor stores and ban the sale of single-serve containers of alcoholic beverages, according to separate studies led by University of California, Riverside researchers. In the first of...
Pamlab L.L.C., announced today the results of a study measuring epidermal nerve fiber density (ENFD) in patients with Diabetic Neuropathy (DN). This study was published in the second quarter 2011 issue of Review in Neurological Diseases. Patients with diabetes tend to have both small and large...
A news study finds that the worse a woman's skin wrinkles are during the first few years of menopause, the lower her bone density is. The results will be presented Monday at The Endocrine Society's 93rd Annual Meeting in Boston. "In postmenopausal women the appearance of the skin may offer a...
Estrogen therapy improves low bone density due to anorexia nervosa in teenage girls with the disease when given as a patch or as a low oral dose that is physiological (close to the form or amount of estrogen the body makes naturally). These results of a new study are being presented Monday at...
sink or float in the oil? If cooking oil has a density of 0.92 and ice has a density of 0.92 will the ice sink or float in the oil?
I'm pretty sure it would halfway be above the oil, and halfway below the oil, but I could be wrong.
Thank youuu(:
i am confused because it is almost as though the density increases going down the groups, but in 2A the density decreases and then increases. I just don't see the 'trend'
and also why does this trend occur?
A University of Melbourne study has revealed that certain breast cancer genetic variants increase mammographic density, confirming the link between mammographic breast density and breast cancer. Professor John Hopper of the University's School of Population Health says women vary greatly in...
How would you measure the density of sugar even though it dissolves in water? I need this for my chemistry class and would appreciate any ideas. Thanks!
...tank, glue or plastic welding? I have been researching what the best method is to fix a crack in a HDPE tank.
Some sources say it can not be glued and that plastic welding is the only answer, I have found several products that claim to work for polyethylene. I wanted to know if anyone has...
