Test 2 Diseases Flashcards
metabolic bone disease where bone becomes brittle, porous and vulnerable
osteoporosis
acute or chronic infection of bone forming tissue
osteomyelitis
chronic inflammatory process of joints and bones that results in degeneration of joint cartilage and bones
osteoarthritis
chronic systemic inflammatory disease affecting the synovial membranes of multiple joints
rheumatoid arthritis
chronic disorder of uric acid metabolism
gout/gout arthitis
chronic progressive neuromuscular disease that increasing produces sporadic weakness and exhaustion of skeletal muscles
myasthenia gravis
chronic inflammatory connective tissues disorder
systemic lupus erythmatosus
chronic condition characterized by pain in muscles, ligaments, and tendons
fibromyalgia
who is targeted for osteoporosis
post menopausal women over age 50
what causes osteomyelitis
staphylococcus aureus

children, specifically boys
who is most likely to get osteoarthritis
women after 55, mostly at 70
who is more likely to have rheumatoid arthritis
women
who is more likely to have gout
men around age 30 more than women with menopause
who is more likely to get myasthenia gravis
women 20-40
who is more likely to get systemic lupus erythmatosus
women 15-45(8x more)
who is more likely to get fibromyalgia
women by 80 percent
how to diagnose osteoporosis
DEXA
blood test for mineral content
how to diagnose osteomyelitis
-blood culture for microorganisms
-x-rays ,bone scan, MRI
-bone biopsy
-physical exam
how to diagnose osteoarthritis
-physical exam and thorough medical history
-x-rays(bone scan and MRI)
how to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis
-rheumatoid factor blood test
-ESR, CBC
-synovial fluid analysis
-x-ray
how to diagnose gout
urinalysis(reveals hyperuremia)
-ESR
-x-rays and physical exam
-identify urate crystals in joint fluid
how to diagnose myasthenia gravis
-neurological exam
-electromyography
-MRI or CT scan
how to diagnose systemic lupus erythmatosus
-CBC, ESR
