Damage to...

1. axillary nerve
2. radial nerve
3. musculocutaneous nerve
1. fractured humeral neck or IM infgection, deltoid
2. fracutre of midshaft humerus or improper crutch use, lose extensors
3. upper trunk compression, lose flexors of arm
Thoracic outlet syndrome
cervical rib compresses subclavian artery and inferior trunk affects C8, T1, causes trophy of thena and hypothenar eminance, disareance of radial pulse upon moving head to same side, sensory defect on medial side, calw hand
Steps of skeletal musle contraction
1. action potential opens voltage gated Ca channels leading to NT release
2. postynaptic ligand binding leads to muscle depolarization, travels along T-tubule
3. depolarizaiton of voltage sensitive DHP receptors couple to ryanodine recetro on SR induces change causing rlease of Ca from SR
4. released calcium binds torpnin moving rtropomyosin out of groove on actin filaments
5. releases bound AD and is displaced causing power stroke, A band doesn;t change, H,I and Z shrink
Smooth muscle contraction
AP causes SMC membrane depolarizaiton, opens voltage cgated calcium channels, calcium binds to calmodulin, actvates myosin light-chain kinase, phosphorylates myosin to form cross-bridge and contract, myosic light chain phoshpaytase dephosphorlates leading to relaxation
Paget's disease
increased osteoblast/clast activity, possibly post-viral

elevated alk phos, mosaic bone pattern, more prone to fracturesm can cause osteogenic sarcoma

Ewin's sarcoma- boys under 15, onion skinning, mets early, anaplastic smal blue cell tumor

Chondrosarcoma- adult males, malignant cartilaginous tumor, glistening mass within medullary cavity
RA classic presentation
morning stiffness over 30 mins, improves with use, symmetric, systemic symtpoms

Lambert-Eaton syndrome
autoantibodies to presynaptic Calcium channels, decreased ACh release leading to proximal muscle weakenss

paraneoplastic

improves with muscle use
poylmyositis/dermatomysotis
progressive symmetric proximal muscle weakness, CD8 T-cell induced, positive ANA, anti-Jo-1

dermatomyositis also includes skin lesions (heliotre, increased risk of malignancy)
Scleroderma vs. CREST
Scleroderma is widespread- face Scl-70

CREST- just CREST, anti-centromere antibody
