Q

what happens at the cellular level in secondary OA

A

chrondorcytes produce IL-1 that initiates matrix breakdown

prostaglandin derivatives induce release of lytic enzymes that prevent matrix synthesis

A

chronic disorder producing non-suppurative proliferative synovitis - results in destruction of articular cartilage and ankylosis of joints
affects skin, muscles, heart lungs

Q

what is ankylosis of joint spaces in RA

A

Q

what is GOUT and the causes

A

end point of group of disorders producing hyperuricaemia

uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism

21
Q

what are the clinical features of gout

A

acute/chronic arthritis
tophi in various sites - cyrtsallisation of rates within and about joints
gouty nephrophathy

22
Q

what is pyogenic osteomyelitis and its cause

A

systemic illness - bone destruction surrounded by sclerosis - bacterial causes
sheet of neutrophils present

23
Q

what is the risk of pyogenic osteomyelitis

A

haematogenous spread to joints

24
Q

what is osteoporosis

A

increased porosity of skeletal system - reduction in bone mass

25
Q

what are the causes and clinical features of osetoporosis

A

primary - age/menopause
secondary - hyperparathyroidism or T1DM
vertebral fractures, kyphosis scoliosis

26
Q

what is pagets disease of bone

A

dysregulated bone remodelling - excessive bone breakdown and disorganised new bone formation

27
Q

what is osteomalacia and its accuses

A

defects in matrix mineralisation - related to lack vitamin D
decreased bone density (small bones osteopenia )

28
Q

how does hyperparathyroidism affects bones

A

excessive PTH - increase bone reabsorption from skeleton = increases renal tubular reabsorption and retention of calcium = hypercalcaemia

29
Q

what is renal osteodystrophy

A

consequence of chronic renal disease - increased osteoporosis clastic bone resorption

30
Q

what types of tissues are soft tissue

A

tendons, ligaments fascia skin - not bone - mesodermal origin

31
Q 
what are these tumours tissues 
lipoma 
fibroma 
leiomyoma 
haemangioma 
lymphangioma 
neuroma
A 
fat 
fibrous tissue 
skeletal muscle 
blood vessels 
lymphatics 
peripheral nerve
32
Q

what is the most common malignant bone tumour

A

osteosarcoma

33
Q

what are these tumours
osetoma
chondroma
osteochondroma

A

benign bone tumour
benign cartilage tumour
mixed benign bone and cartilage tumour

34
Q

what is the most common site for osteosarcoma and who does it affect more

A

knee

young people

35
Q

what is ewings sarcoma

A

malignant small, round, blue cell tumour

type of bone tumour

36
Q

where to most metastatic bone tumours arise from

A

breast or prostate

37
Q

what is the classification criteria of SLE

A

american college of rheumatology
4 of
malar rash, discord rash, photosensitivity, oral ulcers, renal disorder, immune/neurolgic disorder

38
Q

what are the 4 clinical features of SLE

A

cutaneous - butterfly rash - bridge of nose and cheeks
cardiac - cardiomegaly / endocarditis
CNS - convulsions, hemiplegia
renal - nephrotic syndrome

39
Q

what is systemic sclerosis and the prognosis

A

vessel damage, inflammatory response due to cytokines
osteoarticular involvement
poor prognosis

40
Q

what is crest syndrome associated with and what is it

A

systemic sclerosis

Calincosis - calcium deposits in the skin
raynauds
oesophageal dysmobility
sclerodactyly - thinking og skin on fingers and toes
telangiectasia - spider veins

41
Q

what is polymyalgia rheumatica and what is it associated with

A

stiffening, weakness, aching, pain in neck
associated with giant cell arteritis - affects occipital or facial arteries - headache and scalp pain

immunological mechanism

42
Q

what is myopathy vs myositis

A

muscle disease unrelated to any disorder of innervation or neuromuscular junction

muscle fibres and overlying skin are inflamed and damaged resulting in muscle weakness

43
Q

describe the cause of msucular dystrophy and the features

A

genetic - progressively severe muscle weakness and wasting beginning in childhood

44
Q

what is the most common form of muscular dystrophy

A

deuchenne

45
Q

what is the pathogenesis of malignant hyperthermia

A

inherited disease

fast rise in body temp with severe muscle contraction when the affected person get general anaesthesia

46
Q

what are the complications of malignant hyperthermia

A

rhabdomyolysis and high blood potassium

47
Q

what is rhabdomyolysis and causes

A

destruction of skeletal muscle - myoglobin release into the blood and myoglobinuria = brown urine
caused by trauma, drugs, high temp

48
Q

what are two examples of metabolic myopathies

A

glycogen synthesis and degradation - disorders of mitochondrial metabolism
