Q

In osteomyelitis, the infection develops into

an abscess in the bone, which compresses small blood vessels, reduces circulation, and causes bone necrosis. Infections may spread under the periosteum, lifting sections of it from bone sur- face, further reducing circulation to bone. In an attempt to heal, bone may be deposited around this area of necrosis.

Paget’s disease, or osteitis deformans,

A

-men over 40.

overproduction of bone,

particularly in the skull,

vertebrae, and pelvis.

-20% to 30% of cases are genetically based.

57
Q

The excessive bony growth causes the skull to enlarge, which often

A

affects cranial nerves; thus, vision and hearing are affected. Abnormal bone development causes curvatures in the spinal column and deformities in legs.

Another complication: osteogenic sarcoma

58
Q

Paget’s disease is diagnosed by

A

examination, x-rays, bone scan, and bone biopsy

59
Q

Paget’s disease Treatment requires

A

calcitonin and etidronate, which reduces bone resorption, and mithramycin, which decreases calcium.

62
Q

an exaggerated posterior curve of the thoracic spine, sometimes called hunch- back, occurs most commonly in adults and be- comes more noticeable in the elderly . It is most often caused by collapse of vertebrae affected by osteoporosis and by de- generative changes associated with arthritis of the vertebrae. Symptoms include mild back pain, back fatigue, perhaps tenderness, and, in severe cases, difficulty breathing because of compression of the thoracic cage. It can be diag- nosed with physical exam and x-rays. Treat- ment options are few and provide no cures.

A

osteogenic sarcoma

Signs and symptoms include dull localized bone pain that intensifies at night. Masses may be noted and fractures accompany sarcomas. Bone cancer is diagnosed with biopsy. X-rays and CT scans are used to locate and measure tumors. Treatment may involve chemotherapy to reduce tumor size followed by surgical removal

68
Q

88
Q

osteoarthritis tx

A

A combination of rest and mild exer- cise to maintain range of motions, medication, and heat applications is generally prescribed. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications commonly used include aspirin, indomethacin, fenoprofen, and ibuprofen. Steroids such as cortisone are sometimes injected into the joint capsule to relieve pain.

89
Q

, _____affects the joints of the feet, particularly those of the big toe, and sometimes of the hand, fingers, wrist, or knee.

A

gout

–Also called gouty arthritis

-unknown cause

-

It sometimes follows a minor injury or excessive eating or drinking, and there may be no explanation for its occur- rence, but heredity seems to play a role.

90
Q

Gout attacks are related to

A

excess uric acid in blood, which results either from a defect in metabolism of purines

91
Q

The high uric acid level leads to deposits of uric acid crystals in the joints. Uric acid crystals also deposit in the kidneys, stimulating kidney stone formation and irritating the kidney.

A

deposits of uric acid crystals in the joints. Uric acid crystals also deposit in the kidneys, stimulating kidney stone formation and irritating the kidney.

92
Q

The affected joints exhibit typical signs of

A

pain, heat, swelling, and redness . Signs and symptoms may last from days to many weeks.

93
Q

A chronic form of gout also occurs in which a person experiences

A

per- sistent arthritis.

94
Q

Gout can be diagnosed by

A

microscopic exam- ination of aspirated joint fluid, which reveals needle-like urate crystals. High serum level of uric acid is consistent with gout. X-rays of af-

fected joints may initially appear normal until repeated attacks of chronic gout damage the bone and cartilage at joints.

95
Q

Acute gout attacks can be treated with

A

rest, application of hot or cold compresses, anal- gesics, colchicine, and corticosteroids.

96
Q

Chronic gout may be treated with

A

colchicine, which pre- vents acute attacks, and uricosuric agents such as probenecid that promote excretion of uric acid.

97
Q

If diagnosed early and treated properly, the development of chronic gout can be

A

prevented.

A

invading a joint following trauma or surgery.

101
Q

Bursae are

A

fluid-filled sacs located near the joints that cushion and reduce friction on movement.

103
Q

Bursitis is an

A

inflammation of these bursae, and it is a very painful condition.

104
Q

bursae of the shoulder joint are

A

the most fre- quently affected, although bursitis can develop at any joint.

105

Steroids are some- times injected into the joint to reduce the in- flammatory response.

106
Q

A dislocation is a displacement of

A

bones from their normal position in a joint.

  • most common in the shoulder and finger joints
  • The bone must be reset and immobilized to allow healing of torn ligaments and tendons
107
Q

Sprains result from

A

the wrenching or twisting of a joint such as an ankle that injures the ligaments. Blood vessels and surrounding tissues, muscles, tendons, and nerves may also be damaged. Swelling and discoloration due to hemor- rhaging from the ruptured blood vessels occur. A sprain is very painful

108
Q

Strains, also called pulled muscles, result from a tearing of a muscle and/or its tendon from excessive use or stretching.

112
Q

Skeletal muscle function is intimately…

A

114
Q

ncludes sev- eral forms of the disease, all of which are hered- itary. The various forms are transmitted differ- ently and affect different muscles, but all forms result in muscle degeneration, which totally dis- ables the individual.
