Q

C shaped

+ where does it insert and originate
+ what actions can it do

**Think about mneomics used

A

biceps brachii

ORIGIN
- make a letter C using ur hand
- thumb is short

short head originates at APEX of coracoid process

long head runs through the bicipital groove, does a medial turn, and originates at supraglenoid tubercule

INSERT
- make a C at flexor elbow

**inserts at radial tuberousity and bicipital aponeurosis **

ACTIONS
- connects over 2 joints
1. shoulder flexion
2. elbow flexion
3. suprination (since it is connected to the radial tuberousity)

63
Q

- annorexia
- malabsorption/ nutrition
- primary hyperparahyperthyrodism
- thyrotoxicosis
- primary hypergonadism (testosterone important for bone health)
- RA (osteoclasts activated & chronic inflammatory state –> bone erosion)
- secondary hyperPTH –> CKD

LIFESTYLE
- smoking
- alchol
- prolonger parenteral nutriton
- low body weght

DRUGS
- chronic steroid therapy
- excessive thyroid therapy
- anticoagulation (since vit K is important in osteoperosis)
- anticonvulsant (acts with vit D)

0-20: moderate risk
> 20: high risk

69
Q

fragility fracture vs traumatic fracture

A

fragility fracture: patient falls from a height LESS than their own height

traumatic fracture: patient falls from a height MORE than their own height/ blunt injury

if it is a fragility fracture… need to do a MBD

70
Q

T score of bone mineral density test

A

-1 is considered normal
-1 to -1.5: osteopenic
-2 to -1.5: osteoperosis
Fracture: patient has osteoperosis until proven otherwise

71
Q

what is fracture reduction in terms of efficacy

A
72
Q

what are the 3 reasons to do a BMD

  1. patient wants to know bone strength
  2. monitor treatment response (patient compliance/ non adherence)
  3. patient satisfaction (improve adherence)
73
Q

what happens in osteomalacia?

**HOW TO DECREASE

A

inadequate mineralisation of bone

osteomalacia
= low vitamin D and low calcium
= increase PTH
= increase osteoclast activity

74
Q

why is ALP high?

A

increased osteoblast activity
= more bone resorption
= high ALP

75
Q

(if their kidneys are not good)

A

subcutaneous denosumab

77
Q

what happens when there is low vit D

A

low vit D
= cannot absorb calcium in GIT
= low Ca2+
= hypocalcemia (will persist if there is a decrease in the

78
Q

what are some of the signs of hypocalcemia

A
79
Q

when giving potent oral bisphosphonate, check…
