Chapter 26 - Bones, Joints, and Soft Tissue Tumors (just pathoma) Flashcards
achondroplasia is an impairment of what?
cartilage proliferation in growth plate
what is the mutation in achondroplasia? is it AD or AR?
activating mutation in fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) - overexpression inhibits growth; AD
mutations in achondroplasia occur sporadic/genetic? what factor is this associated with?
sporadic mutations associated with increased paternal age
clinical features of achondroplasia?
short extremities with normal-sized and chest (no problem with intramembranous bone formation); its due to poor endochondral bon formation
congenital defect of bone resporption resulting in structurally weak bone; AD or AR?
osteogenesis imperfecta; AD
what is the defect in osteogenesis imperfecta
defect in collagen type I synthesis
clinical features of osteogenesis imperfecta (3)
lots of fractures without bruising, blue sclera, hearing loss
why are the sclera blue in osteogenesis imperfecta
thinned cleral collagen reveals underlynig choroidal veins
abnormally thick heavy bone with an inherited defect in bone resorption
osteopetrosis
what cells have a defect in ostopetrosis; a mutation in what promotes this disease
poor ostoclast function; carbonic anhydrase II mutation leads to the loss of the acidic environment required for bone resoption
clinical features of osteopetrosis (5)
bone fractures (even though its so thick!), anemias/throbocytopenia/leukopenia (knocks out medullary areas), vision/hearing loss (compressed CN), hydrocephalus (foramen magnum), renal tubular acidosis - w/ the CAII prob
treatment for osteopetrosis
bone marrow transplant (osteoclasts derived from monocytes)
defect mineralization of osteoid (2 diseases)
ostomalacia and rickets
where does osteoid come from, and what does it turn into
osteoblasts produce osteoid which then mineralizes with Ca2+ and phosphate to form bone
low levels of _______, which normally is obtained from _____, results in rickets and osteomalacia
vitamin D, sunlight and diet
how does vitamin D turn into its active form, what enzymes are involved
25-hydroxylation by the liver then 1alpha-hydroxylation by the proximal tubule of the kidney
how does the active form of vitamin D increase calcium and phosphate levels? (its role in 3 organs)
intestine: increases absoption, kidney = increases reabsorption, bone = increases reabsorption
how can you get a vitamin D deficiency (5)
low sun exposure, poor diet, malabsorption, liver failure, renal failure
rickets occurs in what age group, when does it present
children, less than 1 year of age
clinical features of rickets
pigeon-breast deformity, frontal bossing (osteoid in skull), rachitic rosary (osteoid in costochondral junction), bowing of legs (older than 1)
what age are patients with osteomalacia
adults
laboratory vales in osteomalacia; serum calcium, serum phosphate, PTH, and alkaline phosphatase
decreased calcium, decreased phosphate, increased PTH, and increased alkaline phosphatase
osteomalacia results in what clinical symptom
increased risk for fracture in weight bearing areas
reduced trabelcular bone mass with porous bone
osteoporosis
what is the risk based on with osteporosis
peak bone mass
when is the peak bone mass achieved, and what factors contribute to it (3)
at 30, genetics - vitamin D receptors you get from parents, diet, and exercise
when does peak bone mass start to decline, and what factors are involved
after age 30, lack of weight-bearing exercise, poor diet, a decrease in estrogen like menopause
most common forms of osteoporosis
senile and postmenopausal
what bones are affected in osteoporosis
weight-bearing areas, like vertebrae, hip, distal radius
how is bone density measured
DEXA scan
what are the laboratory values in osteoporosis: serum calcium, serum phosphate, PTH, alkaline phosphatase
normal lab values! helps differentiate it from osteomalacia
treatment for osteoporosis
exercise, vitD, calcium, bisphosphonates (apoptosis of osteoclasts)
what medication is contraindicated with osteoporosis
glucocorticoids! they worsen osteoporosis
paget disease of the bone involves an imbalance between these 2 things:______; it also has an ______ etiology
ostoclast and osteoblast function with an unknown etiology
age of paget disease of bone
late adulthood, 60 years
what bones does paget disease of bone occur in
localized with one or more bones, does not involve entire skeleton
stages of paget disease of bone (3)
(1) osteoclastic, (2) mixed osteoblastic-osteoclastic, (3) osteoblastic
biopsy in paget disease of bone reveals:
mosaic pattern of lamellar bone, puzzle-piece, cement lines
clinical features of paget disease of bone
bone pain (microfractures), increasing hat size, hearing loss, lion face
what lab value is elevated with paget disease of bone
alkaline phophatase
most common cause of isolate elevated alkaline phosphatase in patients greaer than 40 years old
paget disease of bone
treatment for paget disease of bone (2)
calcitonin, bisphosphonates
complications seen with paget disease of bone
high-output cardiac failure (AV shunts form in bone after remodeling), and osteosarcoma
infection of marrow and bone
osteomyelitis
what age group does osteomyelitis usually present in?
children
cause of osteomyletis
bacterial arises from hematogenous spread
difference between seeding of bone in kids and adults with osteomyelitis
transient bacteremia seed metaphysis in children and open-wound bacteremia seeds epiphysis in adults
causitive agents of osteomyelitis, whats the most common, and what groups of people are seen with the other causitive agents
staph aureus (most common), n.gonorrhoeae (sexually active), salmonella (w/ sickle cell), pseudomonas (diabetics, IV drug abusers), pasteurella (with cat/dog scratches), mycobacterium tuerculosis (involves vertebrae seen with Pott disease)
clinical features of osteomyelitis
bone pain
what does bone of osteomyelitis look like on xray
lytic focus surrounded by sclerosis
ischemic necrosis of bone and bone marrow
avascular/aseptic necrosis
causes of avascular/asceptic necrosis, which is most common
trauma, fracture (most common), steroids, sickle cell anemia, caisson disease (gas emboli like N2 that can precipitate in the bone)
