Similarities:

Osteoporosis, osteomalacia and rickets are the bone deformities.

These are associated with poor bone growth, bone pain, softening and weakening of bones.

These are caused by the deficiency of Vitamin D and calcium.

Differences:

Rickets is a bone deformity condition which affects the bones in children whereas osteoporosis and osteomalacia can be seen in adults.

In oesteoporosis the bones become brittle due to the presence of pores in them but pore formation does not occur in oesteomalacia and rickets.

What is osgood schlatter disease and what does it do
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Osgood Schlatter's Disease is when there is an inflammation between the tibia and the patellar tendon, just below the knee.

It can cause a painful lump under the knee which could need to be operated on to remove.

It affects sporty kids mainly, but it is possible for it to occur in non-sporty kids (such as myself). The disease normally goes away by the time you're 16. It's mostly boys who are affected, but girls are as well.

It makes the knee hurt a lot when a person is doing physical exercise or walking, and stops hurting when a person is resting.

(I literally have it myself)

Should psychologists be asking about group differences (different race, sex, culture, etc.) in intellectual ability? What do you
IgorC [24]
Personally, I think don’t think they should. All of those factors(race, sex, culture) don’t have a big effect on intellectual ability. You can be high on the intellectually ability scale no matter race, sex, or culture.
