Chronic joint pain in rheumatoid arthritis may mask that from other causes. Stress fractures, particularly in osteoporotic lower limb bones of such patients, are well described but can still cause diagnostic difficulty. These difficulties were highlighted by a case in which an unusual fracture occurred through a geode in the proximal ulna mimicking an exacerbation of synovitis in the elbow joint.
Restricting the food intake of broiler hens during the rearing phase resulted in a 10% improvement in the rate of lay of hatchable eggs compared with fully fed controls. 2. The restricted hens had longer, heavier oviducts, a faster rate of growth of ovarian follicles and a greater spread of oviposition times throughout the day. 3. It is suggested that these changes may explain the persistence of improved production after compensatory weight gain, even into a second production year.
