According to Centers for Disease, physical effects is the most immediate effects. It included things such as wounds, injuries, nutrition, and hydration issues. These are the short-term effects, but injuries such as broken bone are the long-term effects. As people aging, their bones become weak and they cannot walk like they used to, therefore, it is easier…

Osteogenesis Imperfect is also known as the, “Brittle Bone Disease”. This is an extremely rare disease with less than twenty thousand cases a year. As of today there is no known available cure, but there are treatments available to lessen the symptoms of the disease. This is a chronic illness that can last up to a few months, to lasting a person’s entire lifetime. This is a disease that causes extreme fragility in the bones of a normal person. This could make a person’s life extremely difficult…

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) or the stone man syndrome is a disorder in which the muscle tissue and connective tissue such as tendons and ligaments are gradually replaced by bone. The extra skeletal bone formation causes the person loss of mobility as the joint become affected. Overtime the person affected with FOP has difficulty difficulties breathing, speaking, and eating. Due to their eating problem they may experience malnutrition. Signs and symptoms of FOP can be observed as…

that affects a person, plant or animal. One disease in particular that affects at least 25,000 people every year in the United States is osteogenesis imperfecta. Osteogenesis imperfecta, or more commonly known as “brittle bone disease” is a rare genetic disorder characterized by bones that break easily generally from little or no apparent cause. Although some cases of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) are not as severe as others it still remains a disease that has unfortunately been conflicted upon…

cells, and white blood cells, and platelet. In addition, the bones of the skeletal system also store the body’s main supply of calcium. Osteoporosis is a condition that causes the bones to weaken and become fragile due to a lack of calcium in the bones. This condition may lead to a fracture. These fractures happen most commonly in the hip, wrist, or spine. This occurs when the creation of new bone doesn’t keep up with the depletion of old bone. There are typically no symptoms that appear in…

of every two Americans are diagnosed with periodontal disease (“Periodontology,” 2012). Osteoporosis is a systemic disease involving loss of bone…

oxytocin’s impact on bone restoration in maternal skeletons, it has been discovered that the same concept is not limited to pregnant women. Research has led scientists to believe that there is a wide range of uses for the oxytocin hormone with their role being heavily relied on by the aid of bone metabolism in osteoporosis. Osteoporosis results in a decrease of bone metabolism from a decrease in bone density and bone mass. Numerous studies have suggested that a link between oxytocin and bone…

which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue. All bones in your body can be affected by this disease but there are a few bones that break more easy. The bones of the spine, hip, and wrist are most likely to break. Hip fractures can be especially dangerous in elderly people because of how long it takes to heal and on top of that, they can not move while they are in the healing process which can lead to blood clots. Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance in new bone…

Strength training gives you stronger bones, helps controlling your weight, helps your endurance, and helps you concentrate. Strength training causes your bone density to be higher, and you have a chance less likely to develop osteoporosis. The more you strength train the more muscle you gain, which makes you burn calories faster and easier. As you become stronger, then you will not easily fatigue. Building muscle can help you as you age. Strength training helps your body from things like back…

Pathophysiology of Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a condition of skeletal fragility due to progressive loss of bone mass. Losing bone is a normal part of the ageing process, but some people lose bone density much faster than normal. This can lead to osteoporosis and an increased risk of fractures. It occurs in elderly people of both sexes but is most pronounced in postmenopausal women, they lose bone rapidly in the first few years after the menopause (when monthly periods stop and the ovaries stop…
