Introduction:
We present the case of a severe bicytopenia as a complication of uncontrolled zinc supplementation and consequent copper deficiency in a young female patient. Following rapid diagnosis, discontinuation of zinc intake and initiation of copper supplementation led to a complete regression of the findings in the blood count and bone marrow, which had initially been interpreted as potentially malignant.

Null and Alternative Hypotheses
The null hypothesis, denoted by H0 is a statement of no difference between the variables—they are not related. This can often be considered the status quo. As a result if you cannot accept the null, it requires some action.
The alternative hypothesis, denoted by H1 or Ha, is a claim about the...
