Bone/Soft tissue Pathology Flashcards
scurvy results from
vitamin C deficiency
impaired collagen formation leads to
poor vessel support, bleeding tendency
inadequate synthesis of osteoid
impaired wound healing
measure of bone turnover (serum marker)
osteocalcin
osteoprotegrin does what
blocks RANK
how long does bone mineralization take
12-15 days
lamellar bone
mature, orderly arrangement of collagen and osteoid
woven bone
immature, disorderly
cortical bone
on the outside
medullary bone
on the inside, softer
compact bone
mostly found in the cortical bone. Or flat bones
circumferential lamellae with haversian. No spaces
cancellous (trabecular) bone
is in the medullary locations.
medullary bone
hematopoeisis
w/ lamellae in between (spicules)
diseases impacting synovium
CVD, Lupus, RA, Lymes disease
dysplasias
abnormalities of bone and cartilage organogenesis
Achondroplasia
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Osteopetrosis
dysostoses
congenital absence of bone, inappropriately fused bone, supernumerary bone
Activating mutation of FGFR3 receptor of the growth plate:
inhibits cartilage proliferation and decreased endochondral ossification.
achondroplasia
with rhizomelic shortening of the arms and legs
achondroplasia
midface hypoplasia results in
causes dental crowding, obstructive apnea, and otitis media
why do 3-7% of achondroplasia patients die within first year of life
because of brainstem compression (central apnea) or obstructive apnea
comorbidities with achondroplasia
- restrictive pulmonary disease with infection and cor pulmonale
- spinal stenosis
- ear infections
sudden death in achondroplasia caused by
brainstem compression
Lack of normal maturation and columnation and the presence of a bony end-plate in the metaphysis
achondroplasia
Abnormality in collagen type genes.
osteogenesis imperfecta
