4-“Hurlers ran around in a daze, they couldn’t see or breathe”. “When you run hard hard you hurl, you’re bent over and can’t breathe, and you take off your lid to see.”

Hurler’s Syndrome – Results in developmental delay, gargolyism (bent over), airway obstruction (can’t breathe), corneal clouding (can’t see) and hepatosplenomegaly. Results to a deficiency in a-L-iduronase, accumulating heparan and dermatan sulfate.
“They are aggressive hunters who see clearly and hit the x with their arrows.”

Hunter’s Disease manifests with aggressive behavior, no corneal clouding, and is X-linked Recessive inherited. It’s due to a lack of iduronate sulfase, and an accumulation of heparan and dermatan sulfate.

4-MC long bone associated with metastatic disease=femur
-MC site for pathologic fx 2^ to metastatic carcinoma is =proximal femur2^ to the fact that the femur is the MC long bone assoc w/ metastatic dz and the stress risers around the proximal femur make it easy to fracture.
-MC site of all bone metastasis=spine however is the most common site of all bone metastasis.
5-MC side effect Doxorubicin=cardiac toxicity, cardiomyopathy
-interacts with DNA by intercalation and inhibition of macromolecular biosynthesis.[34][35] This inhibits the progression of the enzyme topoisomerase II, which relaxes supercoils in DNA for transcription.[36] Doxorubicin stabilizes the topoisomerase II complex after it has broken the DNA chain for replication, preventing the DNA double helix from being resealed and thereby stopping the process of replication.

6-Ifosfamide= major neurological toxicity like encephalopathy. MoI=DNA alkalting agent
Cyclophosphamide =myelosuppression & urotoxicity. methotrexate=neurotoxic seizures
Bleomycin=pulmonary fibrosis.
methotrext= competitively inhibits dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), an enzyme that participates in the tetrahydrofolate synthesis
cis-platnum= crosslinks DNA in several different ways, interfering with cell division by mitosis. The damaged DNA elicits DNA repair mechanisms, which in turn activate apoptosis when repair proves impossible.

1-most common forms are Mechnical Electromyography (spontaneous)-monitor integrity of specific spinal nerve roots, contact alone of a surgical instrument to the nerve root will lead to "burst activity" which carries no clinical significance
more significant injury or traction to a nerve root will lead to "sustained train" activity, which may carry clinical significance
Electrical Electromyography (triggered)-allows detection of a breached pedicle screw

3-Type I collage
4-lag screw + neutralization plate healing is by primary (Haversian)
-1) indirect fracture reduction, as they can tolerate imperfect reduction
2) diaphyseal/metaphyseal fractures in osteoporotic bone;
3) the bridging of severely comminuted fractures to minimize soft tissue damage;
4) the plating of fractures where, due to anatomic constraints, a compression plate may not be placed on the tension side of the fracture.
-Locking plates = the fixed angle to ensure stability of the construct,
conventional plates = the plate/bone friction, as well as fracture end contact to ensure stability
5-Strain < (2%) for primary bone healing to occur, =10-30% for secondary bone healing to occur.
Strain in fractures = dividing the interfragmentary movement by the size of the fracture gap.
Stiffness refers the ability of the construct to resist movement under applied loads.
6-callus is absent but intact blood supply
MoP-internal fixation w/o accurate apposition of fragments
7-strain theory states that for two given fracture segments, the healing interface will possess a force-generated motion potential that is contingent on the stability of the original fixation construct. Mathematically, the strain for any given force is equal to the change in the interface length divided by the original interface length. Therefore, with an unstable construct, the healing gap may undergo excessive motion with resultant increasing strain.
Perren’s strain theory.(With a small fracture gap, any movement will result in a relatively large change in length (i.e. high strain). If this exceeds the strain tolerance of the tissue, healing will not take place. If a larger fracture gap is subject to the same movement, the relative change in length will be smaller (i.e...)
Strain is the deformation of a material (eg, granulation tissue within a gap) when a given force is applied. Normal strain is the change in length (Δ l) in comparison to original length (l)when a given load is applied. Thus, it has no dimensions and is often expressed as a percentage. The amount of deformation that a tissue can tolerate and still function varies greatly. Intact bone has a normal strain tolerance of 2% (before it fractures), whereas granulation tissue has a strain tolerance of 100%. Bony bridging between the distal and proximal callus can only occur when local strain (ie, deformation) is less than the forming woven bone can tolerate. Thus, hard callus will not bridge a fracture gap when the movement between the fracture ends is too great [22]. Nature deals with this problem by expanding the volume of soft callus. This results in a decrease in the local tissue strain to a level that allows bony bridging. This adaptive mechanism is not effective when the fracture gap has been considerably narrowed so that most of the interfragmentary movement occurs at the gap, producing a high-strain environment. Thus, overloading of the fracture with too much interfragmentary movement later in the healing process is not well tolerated [23].

3-Rhabdomyosarcoma
grade (G), grade is a sign of how likely it is the cancer will spread.Differentiation — cancer cells are given a score of 1 to 3, with 1 being assigned when they look similar to normal cells and 3 being used when the cancer cells look very abnormal
Mitotic count — how many cancer cells are seen dividing under the microscope; given a score from 1 to 3 (a lower score means fewer cells were seen dividing)
Tumor necrosis — how much of the tumor is made up of dying tissue; given a score from 0 to 2 (a lower score means there was less dying tissue present).
T Tumor (T)stands for the size of the Tumor.
T1: The sarcoma<5 cm (2 inches)
T1a: The tumor is superficial − near the surface of the body.
T1b: The tumor is deep in the limb or abdomen.
N stands for spread to near by lymph Nodes (small bean-shaped collections of immune system cells found throughout the body that help fight infections and cancers).
M is for Metastasis (spread to distant organs).
stage= the tumor, its grade, lymph nodes, and metastasis is combined by a process called stage grouping. The stage is described by Roman numerals from I to IV and the letters A or B. The stage is useful in selecting treatment, but other factors, such as where the sarcoma is located, also influence treatment planning and outlook.
ex.=Stage IA

T1, N0, M0, G1 or GX: The tumor is not larger than 5 cm (2 inches) across (T1). It has not spread to lymph nodes (N0) or more distant sites (M0). The cancer is grade 1 (or the grade cannot be assessed).
