The extent of a focal tendon abnormality was intrasubstance in none (0%) of 16 patients with full-thickness tears, one (20%) of five patients with bursal surface partial-thickness tears, two (20%) of 10 patients with articular surface partial-thickness tears, and two (15%) of 13 patients with tendons without tear.
1 Adequate Intake (AI), where no RDA has been established, but the amount established is somewhat less firmly believed to be adequate for everyone in the demographic group.  Tolerable upper intake levels (UL), to caution against excessive intake of nutrients (like vitamin A) that can be harmful in large amounts.
The female dietary intake was RDA-deficient in 60 out of 170 micronutrients or 35.2% of the 10 vitamins and 7 minerals analyzed. Both male and females as a single entity recorded 138 micronutrient deficiencies out of the possible 340 micronutrients analyzed, or 40.5% micronutrient RDA-deficiency from food intake alone.
