patho final Flashcards
what is immediate response to MSK injury
generalized inflammation
vascular, chemical and cellular events that prepare for repair
what is preclinical disability? how would it present?
progressive and detectable but unrecognizable decline in physical function
increased time to complete a task / decrease in frequency in which a task is performed
what causes fibrinogen clots
vasoconstriction
what is margination
when WBCs move to the periphery of the vessel
what is diapedesis
allowance of WBC to squeeze through the blood vessel wall
what is chemotaxis
WBC being guided to the site of injury beyond the blood vessel walls
what is the inflammatory response in steps
fibrinogen clots
margination
diapedesis
chemotaxis
phagocytosis
what is sarcopenia
age related loss in muscle mass, strength and endurance
how to treat sarcopenia
high resistance training exercise
functional measures or specific weights rather than MMT
what can lead to decreased flexibility in aging populations
a build up of fibrinogen/collagen in joints due to lack of motion
what cells provide proprioception
mechanoreceptors
strength training in older adults
program of 1-2x weekly
improved neuromuscular performance
ACSM recommendation for strength training in aging pop
up to 15 reps performed a minimum of twice per week
generally = 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps for 8-10 major muscle groups
ACSM recommendation for cardiovascular health in aging pop
> 85+ = 2x/week with intensity of 40-60% of HRR for more than 20 min
what chemicals make up bone
calcium and phosphate
- mixed with water forming hydroxyapatite
% of bone composition
20% - trabecular
80% - cortical
what is the % comp of cortical bone and trabecular bone is calcified
80-90 = cortical
15-25 = trabecular
what does BMD represent
mineral content of bone in grams/square cm
what % of bone loss on an x-ray is significant
30% must occur before the abnormalities can be seen
what standard dev are associated with osteoperosis or penia
perosis - >2.5 SD below normal peak bone mass
penia - 1-2.5 SD
modifiable risk factors for osteoperosis
calcium intake
smoking / drinking
low body weight (<127)
exercise
caffeine / soda
what medications can cause osteoperosis
corticosteroids
loop diuretic
immunosuppressants
anticonvulsants
what diseases are associated with osteoperosis
hyperparathyroidism
cushings disease
anorexia nervosa
female athlete triat
hyperthyroidism
injuries related to osteoperosis
hip / spine fractures
radius / femur
ribs
vertebral bodies
treatment of osteoperosis
weight bearing exercises
aerobics / yoga / pilates
what to avoid if diagnosed with osteoperosis
vertebral osteo - anything with a major component of spinal flexion, side bending, or rotation
things that are nonweightbearing
what is osteomalacia?
lack of mineralization of new bone matrix results in a softening of bone without loss of the present bone matrix
what are the two main causes of osteomalacia
insufficient intestinal calcium absorption
increased renal phosphorus losses
what is an osteoid
bone that has not matured/calcified
what is milkman syndrome
moderately severe form of osteomalacia
How is bone remodeling affected with Paget disease?
increased bone resorption and excessive, unorganized new bone formation caused by activated osteoclasts
diagnostic s/s of milkman syndrome
looser zones that occur due to healing of multiple microstress fractures causing aching, fatigue, weight loss
what is the result of paget’s disease in the bone
Bone resorption is so rapid that osteoblastic activity cannot keep up, and fibrous tissue replaces the bone.
Bone is enlarged/weak with chaotic woven pattern
what neuro complications can be seen with paget’s disease
headache, radicular, osteoarthritic, muscular or other skeletal pain
hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo
how will bone look in those with paget’s disease
fuzzy / like a cotton ball
what enzyme is used to diagnose paget’s disease
alkaline phosphate is over produced in paget disease
what are avoided in paget disease
jogging, running, jumping or anything promoting bone growth
what bacteria is associated to exogenous osteomyelitis
staphylococcus aureus
what region of the body is osteomyelitis more common in adults vs children
adults - lumbar spine
children - metaphyseal areas of long bones
symptoms of myelitis in adults
back pain
radiculopathy / myelopathy
symptoms of myelitis in children
high fever, intense pain, local manifestations
primary cause of prosthetic failure
implant infection
routes of infection in prosthetic joints
hematogeneous - 30%
contiguous - 70%
3 categories of prosthetic joint infections and time of onset
early - develops <3 mo after surgery
delayed - 3 to 24 mo after surgery
late - > 24 months after surgery
diskitis symptoms in adults
spinal pain and severe radiation of pain into LE
diskitis symptoms in children
back pain / refusal to walk
pain with hip extension
s/s of septic arthritis
infection s/s - temp, swelling, redness infection
most common sites of septic arthitis
adults - knee or hip
children - ankle or elbow
treatment of septic arthritis
medical emergency
admission to hospital with specific IV
3 forms of myositis
dermatomyositis
polymyositis
inclusion body myositis
symptoms of myositis
dropfoot/tripping
weak grip
difficulty swallowing
muscle atrophy
weakness
treatment of dermatomyostitis
immunosuppressive therapy / corticosteroids
treatment of polymyostitis
immunosuppressive therapy / corticosteroids
treatment of inclusion body myostitis

common causes of hand infections
60% trauma
25% human bites
15% animal bites
s/s of hand infections
