22
Q

explain the pathophysio of the paget dz of bone

A

common, localized disorder of bone remodeling cause by inc in both osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity

23
Q

what bone path is associated with mosaic pattern of woven and lamellar bone?

A

paget dz of bone

24
Q

what is the most common site of osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis) and why?

A

femoral head (due to insufficiency of medial circumflex femoral artery)

25
Q

name 7 causes for osteonecrosis

A

ASEPTIC

  1. alcoholism
  2. sickle cell
  3. storage dz (Guacher)
  4. exogenous steroid
  5. pancreatic
  6. trauma
  7. idiopathic
  8. caisson (the bend)
26
Q

what is another name for idiopathic cause of osteonecrosis?

A

Legg Calve Perthes dz

27
Q

phosphorylation of myosin is done by what enzyme and will this lead to contraction or relaxation?

A

myosin light chain kinase, contraction

28
Q

dephosphorylation of myosin is done by what enzyme and what will this lead to?

A

myosin light chain phosphatase, relaxation

29
Q

inc Ca2+ calmodulin complex activates which enzyme?

A

myosin light chain kinase

30
Q

bones of axial and appendicular skeleton and base of skull are considered as what type of bone formation?

A

endochondral ossification

31
Q

what is membranous ossification?

A

bones of calvarium and facial bones

32
Q

woven bone is formed directly without

A

cartilage

33
Q

cartilaginous model of bone is first made by

A

chondrocytes

34
Q

what is the pathophysio of achondroplasia?

A

(gain of function), constitutive activation of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR3) inhibiting chondrocyte proliferation

35
Q

mode of inheritance of achondroplasia?

A

autosomal dominant with full penetrance (homozygosity is lethal)

36
Q

how is Laron syndrome diff from achondroplasia?

A

small genitalia, dec linear growth, everything small due to defective growth hormone receptor

37
Q

treatment drugs for type 2 (senile) osteoporosis?

A

bisphosphonate, PTH analog (teriparatide), SERMs, calcitonin, denosumab

38
Q

what is denosumab?

A

monoclonal antibody against RANKL

39
Q

what bone path is associated with bone filling marrow space leading to pancytopenia and extramedullary hematopoiesis?

A

osteopetrosis (marble bone dz)

40
Q

what is defective in osteopetrosis?

A

failure of normal bone resorption due to defective osteoclast leading to thickened, dense bones that are prone to fracture

41
Q

what mutation is responsible for osteopetrosis?

A

mutations in carbonic anhydrase II impairing the ability of osteoclast to generate acidic environment necessary for bone resorption

42
Q

what renal path will also have impaired carbonic anhydrase?

A

proximal (type2) urine pH

43
Q

what is the treatment for osteopetrosis?

A

bone marrow transplant is curative as osteoclast is from monocytes

44
Q

what path is associated with “bone-in-bone” appearance on x-ray?

A

osteopetrosis

45
Q

what is the diff btw osteoporosis and osteomalacia in terms of bone mineralization?

A

normal bone mineralization in osteoporosis

abnormal bone minerailization in osteomalacia (rickets)

46
Q

4 causes for primary osteoporosis?

A
  1. long term steroid use
  2. anticonvulsant
  3. anticoagulants
  4. thyroid replacement therapy
47
Q

what symptoms/fractures can you get from osteoporosis?

A
  1. vertebral compression fractures associated with acute back pain, loss of height, kyphosis
  2. fractures of femoral neck
  3. fractures of distal radius (Colles fractures)
48
Q

2 bone paths with normal lab values?

A
  1. osteoporosis

2. osteopetrosis

49
Q

what two bone paths will have the opposite lab values (Ca2+, PO43-, PTH, except for ALP)?

A

osteomalacia/rickets and hypervitaminosis

50
Q

2 causes for hypervitaminosis?

A
  1. oversupplementation

2. granulomatous dz (sarcoidosis)

51
Q

explain how the lab values will be diff btw 1’ hyperparathyroidism vs 2’

A

1’: high PTH –> high Ca2+ –> low PO43-, high ALP

2’: high PO43- –> low Ca2+ –> high PTH, high ALP

52
Q

in 2’ hyperparathyroidism, what causes high PO43- conc?

A

usually due to dec PO43- from ESRD

53
Q

in 2’ hyperparathyroidism, what causes low serum Ca2+?

A

due to low activated vit D due to ESRD
