Q

Differentiate ligament, tendon, and joints

A

Joints (Bone to bone): where bones meet; acts as a hinge which helps body part move somothly

Ligaments (bone to bone): hold the bones together at the joints; stabilize joints

Tendons (bone to muscle): connect muscles to bones, allowing movement.

27
Q

How is uric acid relevant to developing gout?

A

When the body breaks down certain foods, it creates a waste product called uric acid. This uric acid is normally flushed out of your body through pee. If the body makes too much uric acid, or it can’t get rid of enough of it, this can lead to uric acid building up in your blood. In gout, high levels of uric acid lead to the formation of urate crystals in the joints, causing inflammation and pain.

OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA (OI) is sometimes referred to as (1). It is quite a serious and rather rare (2) or (3) disease which can range from (4)

A
  1. brittle bone disease
  2. heritable
  3. congenital
  4. mild to severe
41

43
Q

CHONDROMALACIA PATELLAE is most commonly found in —

A

adolescents

44
Q

How is CHONDROMALACIA PATELLAE developed?

A

When the cartilage under the kneecap ad femur softens or deteriorates, leading to pain and discomfort in the knee joint.

45
Q

Softening and weakening of the bones

A

OSTEOMALACIA

46

vit D deficiency

47
Q

In children, OSTEOMALACIA is known as —

A

Most commonly seen in middle aged and elderly adults

52
Q

Varus vs Valgus

A

Varus: Distal part of a limb is angled inward, towards the midline of the body (distal part: more medial)

  2. lumbar region
  3. swayback posture
59

60
Q

(PHARMACEUTICAL FOR OSTEOPOROSIS) TWO BASIC CATEGORIES

A
  1. ANTIRESORPTIVE DRUGS
  2. ANABOLICS
61
Q

How does ANTIRESORPTIVE DRUGS work?

A

Work by slowing the resorption of the breaking down part of the remodeling cycle

62
Q

Examples of ANTIRESORPTIVE DRUGS

A

Bisphosphonates (alendronate,
ibandronate),
Calcitonin,
Estrogen/estrogen-progestin,
etc.

63
Q

How does ANABOLICS work?

A

Work by stimulating the formation part of the remodeling process. More bone is formed than is taken away.

64
Q

Antiresorptive drugs vs Anabolics

A

Antiresorptives: Slows down resorption of bone tissue; prevents bone loss

Anabolics: Stimulates formation of bone tissue; forms strogner and denser bones

65
Q

PHARMACEUTICAL FOR ARTHRITIS)

A

1.NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS
2. ANALGESICS
3.CORTICOSTEROIDS
4.DISEASE MODIFYING ANTI-RHEUMATIC DRUGS (DMARDs)

66
Q

NSAIDS vs Analgesics

A

NSAIDS: More on inflammatory response

Analgesics: More on pain relief

67
Q

Blocks enzymes that produces inflammation and pain

A

NSAIDs

68
Q

Examples of NSAIDs

A

a) Advil (ibuprofen)
b. Aleve (naproxen)

69
Q

Blocks pain signals in the brain

A

Analgesics

70
Q

Example of Analgesic

A

Acetaminophen

71
Q

Slow acting medications that work behind the scenes to slow down progression of rheumatoid arthritis and reduce the risk of permanent joint damage
