Human disease L21 - MSK 1 Flashcards
osteoarthritis is characterized by cartilage destruction - true or false
true
joint replacement surgery is a common procedure in OA - true or false
true
which of the following joints is least often affected by OA?
elbow
hip
knee
spine
metacarpophalangeal
elbow
which crystals are deposited in the joints in gout?
pyrate
hydroxyapatite
calcium pryophosphate
urate
sopper sulphate
urate crystals
musculoskeletal disease will have many dental implications on our patients, what may these implications be?
mobility
manual dexterity
potential TMJ disease and poor opening
potential C - spine problems
complex drug regimens
if you have inflammation of the joint, what signs / symptoms would you expect to see?
hot
red
swollen
painful
chronic inflammation of the joints evenetually will result in some form destruction of the joints. the destruction of joints is measured in three ways what are they?
they are measured in
immobility - manual dexterity is lost, or poor range of movements
deformity - of posture
instability - maor concern in the cervical spine in rheumatoid arthritis
what are the two common types of arthritis are?
osteoarthritis
rheumatoid arthritis
which type of arthritis is associated with cartilage destruction
osteoarthritis
which type of arthritis involves the inflammation of the synovial membrane
rheumatoid arthritis
degnerative joint disease is as a result of autoimine disease - true or false
false it is resulted through wear and tear of the joints
osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, what joints does it affect
hands
hips
knees
ankles
spine
where is the biggest joint in our body
knee
osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, what are the associations of osteoarthritis
more common as we age
genetic
obesity - puts more stress on joints esp knee
previously damaged joints or bones
where would you expect to find bouchard’s nodes
Bony bumps on the middle joint of the finger are known as Bouchard’s nodes
where would you find heberden’s nodes
Heberden’s nodes are hard bony lumps in the joints of your fingers. They are typically a symptom of osteoarthritis. The lumps grow on the joint closest to the tip of your finger, called the distal interphalangeal,
what does this x-ray show
advanced osteoarthritis on the left hip joint.
Uric acid is a natural waste product from the digestion of foods that contain purines. Purines are found in high levels in some foods such as:
certain meats
sardines
dried beans
beer
Purines are also formed and broken down in your body.
Normally, your body filters out uric acid through your kidneys and in urine. If you consume too much purine in your diet, or if your body can’t get rid of this by-product fast enough, uric acid can build up in your blood.
A high uric acid level is known as hyperuricemia. This can lead to a disease called what
gout
high uric acid levels is knon as what
hyperuricemina
what condition is this
gout
similar to gout how does pseudogout differ
gout is the accumulation of urate crystals, whilst pseudogout is the accumulation of calcium pyrophosphate crystals .
what is psoriatic arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis is a type of arthritis that affects some people with the skin condition psoriasis. It typically causes affected joints to become swollen, stiff and painful. Like psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis is a long-term condition that can get progressively worse.
