25
why is there pain in OP
force of m. on weak bone causes MS pain
26
purpose of weight bearing activity
promotes bone remodelling
27
fx of resorptive agents
dec breakdown, limit osteoclast activity
28
fx of anabolic agents
inc bone building, osteoblasts
29
what do we need to make sure occurs in diet for OP
adeq protein, ca, vit d
30
Osteoarthritis
degen joint disease
31
what breaks down in OA
cart break down of subchondral cart in joints
32
what happens when subchondral cart is broken down in OA
bone on bone lt erosion and inc in friciton
33
where does OA occur first
large, weight bearing joints
34
what type of issue may we confuse OA with?
inflm. IT is NOT an inflm issue although damage -> inflm
35
priarmy OA
related to age
36
secondary OA
inc in young adults, inc joint use leading to damage
37
primary OA et
idipathic rt wear and tear | genetic dispostion
38
what genetic def may occur in primary oa
some genes code for proteins that assist with cart remodelling. pts with OA may not have this gene -> cart is easier to damage and harder to repair
39
secondary oa et
injury, repetitive movement at time of injury | obesity (inc mass on joints -> inc weawr, metb link rt joint)
40
fx of articular cart
smooth, wt bearing, dissipates force evently to bone
41
what cells maintain cart
chondrocytes
42
when does comp and properties of cart change
when chondrocytes are altered (genes?)
43
what is released when chondrocytes are altered
cells rls cytokines (interlukin, TNF)
44
what happens in joitns when chondrocytes rls cytokines
cells begin to rls proteases causing destr of cart/chondrocytes
45
how to chondrocytes change once they are affected by proteases
inability to maintain and heal cart
46
what happens to bone when there is no cart to protect it
beings to scleros (harden) cysts and fissures appear as synovial fluid enter cracks osteophyte formation
47
osteophyte
enlargement and deformation of joints
48
what actions stimulate response from chondrocytes
mechanical injury | destr of joint strs by protease rls/subchondrol bone destr
49
when do osteophyts form
when subchondrol bone is destroyed
50
main features of early disease in OA
narrowing joint spaces and cart breakdown
51
main features of late disease in OA
sev cart loss and osteophyte fomration
52
how does force spread in a normal joint
maximizing contact area by causing joint deformation
53
how does force spread in a joint with OA
no deformation with load -> force spread unevenly so its more conc causing damage
54
initial complaints in mnfts of oa
non localized aching pain
55
late complaints in mnfts of oa
localized pain rt activity and use of joint | weight bearing crepitus
56
what does inc use of joints in oa cause
pain
57
what does dec use of joints in oa cause
dec mobility and stiffening plus inflm
58
dx oa
presentation xray (only with inc damage) labs (to exclude other forms of arthritis
59
tx for oa
pain releif only rehab artificial joints
60
initial tx for oa
mono tx for pain
61
what drugs do we use for inital tx for oa
first choice: tylenol | 2nd choice: cyclognease )COX ex inhibitor
62
fx of cox inhibitior
inhibits the ez that does 2 things 1) enhances inflm 2) forms prostalglandins
63
sev tx for oa
intra articular injection of steroids
64
rhumatoid arthritis incidence
1-2% of adults, 80% is women
65

synovial joints | CT
66
where does ra begin
non weight bearing joints
67
et of ra
complex et hla autoimmunity viral trigger
68
what virus may trigger ra
epstein barr
69
main patho of ra
alt t cell response -> targets synovial joint membs (CT) -> inflm/joint damage
70
what abn abs occur in 75% of pts with ra
rhumatoid factors, RF
71
what causes RF prod in ra
alt b cells cause ab to form rf
72
what type of rxn is ra
type 3 h
73
what happens in type 3 h rxn in ra
Rf forms IC ->deposition of IC in synovial membs -> inflm
74
what happens in RA with repetitive inflm
abn pathologic deform
75
what abn deposit forms in joints in RA
pannus
76
pannus
vascular granulation tissue
77
what does pannus rls
destr ez that targets cart
78
what does pannus contain
inflm cells with inc mediators that damage -> dec joint motility
79
systemic mnfts of ra
neck pain, eye lesions, low grade fever/fatigue, weakness, lymphandenopathy, splenomeglay, ulnar deviation
80
mnfts of ra
``` not restr to joints extra articular / articular mgnt subtle onset am joint pain non articular issues ```
81
what subtle onset occurs with ra
malaise low grade fever gen m. pain inc fatigue with time
82
what may subtle onset of mnfts of ra be rt to
viral triggeR?
83
why does AM joint pain occur in RA
dec utlization of joints over night
84
what non articular issues occur with ra
issues with heart, blood vessels, skin, lung, eyes
85
dx ra
xr, | labs (RF, ana1)
86
tx for ra
limit progression using immune modulatores manage pain eye tx

91
gout
crystal dep in joints -> crystal induced joint disease
92
what is there an inc in blood in gout
uric acid
93
primary gout
most prevelant form metb disrder rt abn or inc form of uric acid affects mostly men
94
secondary gout
build up of uric acid rt azotemia or se of other med -> inc cell turnover and destr
95
what may inc build up of uric acid be rt (secondary gout_
cell destr abn renal fx other - alcohol, chemo pts
96
altered break down of what leads to asymptomatic hyper uricemia rt inability of kindey to cope
purine
97
how are purine and uric acid related
uric acid is a byprod of alt purine breakdown
98
what cell response occurs initially when crystals begin to deposit in synovial joints
wbc influx and complement activation
99
what happens when wbc phagocytize crystals (ingestthem) in gout
wbc necrosis
100
why does ez damage occur in gout
wbc necrosis lt -> rls of lysosomal ez causing ez damage
101
what causes tophi formation in gout
recurrent, cyclic attacks (acute)
102
tophi/tophus
lesion with inc uric acid crystals in joint
103
what happens when tophi form in joint
dec joint mobility rt accum and form of hard mass
104
first stage of gout
asympt hyperuricemia
105
2nd stage gout
pt gets up at night with single, very painful joint rt acute inflm
106
which joints are usually first affected in gout
distal joints, large toe
107
what does second stage gout normally follow
bing drinking beer ing eating (esp protein rich food) excessive exercise
108
why does binge drinking beer potentially result in gout
beer has inc purine content
109
why may eating large means with protein rich food cause gout
protein breaks down into purine
110
why may excessive exercise cause gout
inc damage to proteins rt uric acid rls as prod of protein catabolism
111
why does gout form in distal joints
uric acid has dec solubility in dec temps, so the further blood with inc [uric acid] moves away from the core, the more likely it is this will crystalize
112
why does gout usually form at night
blood remains in distal body parts longer when pt lays still for long amount of time eg night
113
3 stage gout
inflm subsites within a week
114
how long may gout be asymptomatic after 3rd stage gout
mo-yrs
115
what happens in stage 4/5 of gout
freq+recurrent attacks in multi joints -> perm damage
116
dx gout
serum and urine for inc uric acid content (not ideal for only dx. confirm hyperuricemia in joints via xr
117
tx gout (acute attacks)
tx pain and inflm with NSAIDS colchine steroids
118
colchine
targets movement of luekocytes -> joints
119
tx of gout (long term)
dec hyperuricemia by inc uric acid excer no alcohol dec protein diet
120
are tophus permanent
yes
