The effect of dietary calcium supplementation on bone mineral content was studied in 40 postmenopausal women with Colles' fracture. The participants were divided into two groups which were given either placebo or 1 g of calcium per day. The bone mineral content of the femur was determined before and after 1 year of medication. Women with Colles' fracture were found to have the same mineral content in the femur as age-matched controls without fractures. Calcium supplementation had no significant effect on the bone mineral content.

is a medicinal plant native to East Asia with its diverse therapeutic potentials. In particular, the antioxidant effect of this plant is well known, but there has been little research on the antioxidant effect according to different habitats or ages. In this study, we evaluated the proximate composition, mineral, saponin, rutin, total phenolic and flavonoid contents, and antioxidant activities of leaf extracts of plants cultivated from two different regions (New Zealand and Jeju Island, Korea) and of the same age (2-year-old plants).

Magnesium phosphate grains, minor accessory minerals found on the primitive meteorite Yamato 980115 (Y 980115), were investigated by Raman microspectroscopy. All magnesium phosphate grains found in the present study can be assigned to farringtonite, dehydrated magnesium phosphate Mg(PO)-I. Since the Mg(PO)-I is generally formed via the irreversible thermal transition from the polymorphs of Mg(PO)-II and -III at above 750-800 degree Celsius, we can infer that the parent body of the Y 980115 meteorites experienced thermal alteration with such a high temperature.

Department of Chemical Engineering and Interdisciplinary Research Center for Hydrogen Technologies and Carbon Management (IRC-HTCM), King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, 31261, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

Transition metal carbides, known as MXenes, particularly TiCT, have been extensively explored as promising materials for electrochemical reactions. However, transition metal carbonitride MXenes with high nitrogen content for electrochemical reactions are rarely reported. In this work, transition metal carbonitride MXenes incorporated with Pt-based electrocatalysts, ranging from single atoms to sub-nanometer dimensions, are explored for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).
