The age group and the gender of the individuals found by the archeologists in Ethiopia. The examination of the bones suggested that the remains represented four types of individuals. Two of the skeletons had bone densities that are less than those of the other two skeletons. The skeletons with the lower bone mass also had broader pelvic bones. Within the two groups defined by the bone mass, smaller skeletons had bones with evidence of epiphyseal plates. On the other hand, larger bones had only a thin line where the epiphyseal plates should be. Introduction: Epiphyseal plate is a group of the cartilage present between the secondary and primary ossification centers. The epiphyseal plate is responsible for the growth of the length of a bone. Pelvic bone provides the support to the vertebral column and protects the visceral organs. The primary function of the hip bone is to provide the movement to the lower limbs.

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth. Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
