The two critical needs in treatment to treat osteosarcoma is to prevent relapse into osteosarcoma and better treatments after surgery. Current treatments in osteosarcoma involve surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, the chances of cancer relapses are extremely high. Thus, we need more efficient post-surgery treatments to prevent relapsing of a much stronger cancer. Several new drugs for chemotherapy are being tested to provide better results but none of the drug alone has shown…

the site of attachment of major muscle tendons to bone and are subjected primarily to tensile forces. (Physeal Injuries) Apophyses contribute to bone shape but not to longitudinal growth. (Physeal Injuries) Longitudinal growth, which occurs during childhood and adolescence, occurs at the growth plates where cartilage proliferates in the epiphyseal and metaphyseal areas of long bones, before undergoing mineralization to form primary bones. (Normal Bone) The growth plate is located between the…

The adult human skeletal system consists of 206 bones, in which are held together by a network of ligaments, tendons and cartilage that connect them together. Besides movement the skeleton also provides protection to vital organs such as our brain, our heart, lungs and abdominal organs. Although our skeleton provides us with such protection it is still prone to injury, wear and tear, infections, tumors and other conditions that can damage bone and become life threatening.…

Clinical Presentation of Paget's disease of bone Symptoms of Paget's disease Paget's disease often has no symptoms and many people don't know they have the condition. The most common symptom is bone pain, but may include joint pain and signs of a nerve being compressed or damaged. Bone pain Bone pain caused by Paget's disease has been described as a constant, dull pain deep within the affected part of the body. The pain is usually worse at night when the patients are lying down. The affected…

the bone that is located at the ends of every long bone, near the epiphysis. It’s made of cartilage and it is where the length of the bone increases. Growth plate injuries only are relevant to young ages because when an adolescent's bone stops growing the growth plate hardens and becomes part of the bone itself. When a growth plate it damaged before ossifying, it may cause problems in the child’s growth of that specific bone. Growth plate injuries can happen the same way as any other bone…

following:-  Bones of the skeleton  Muscles  Cartilage  Tendons  Ligaments  Joints  Connective tissue binding to the body’s organs If you break the system down into its separate parts you can gain a deeper understanding of how they create a joint working system within the body. For example, the Skeletal…

Throwing a Bone: 2001 There are some powerful scenes that precede the bone throw in Kubrik’s masterpiece, 2001. A man-ape learns to use a bone casually. The man-ape uses other bones to clobber things—this is intercut with images of huge animals falling--and suggests the man ape realizes a bone can be a hunting tool. During an intertribal intimidation fest, a bone is used to intimidate and then to kill a man-ape from an enemy tribe. The users of bone win the battle. As the winning tribe revel…

any traumatic injury. Bones provide framework that supports and keeps the body from collapsing. It is the major supporting structure of the body. The bone is classified by their shape or structure as cortical bones are dense and compact and cancellous is spongy. Cortical bones are dense and rigid bones. Its functions are to provide support and stability of the body and to bare body weight. Cancellous bones are also called spongy bones due to its shapes and it is a weak bone. It is found at the…

each individual the basic shape, structure and support. Without the skeletal system the body would just be a blob. It is the foundation for movement because the muscles lie within the surface of the bones. The human skeletal system is a major factor of the body’s mechanism. It’s much more than just the bones and structure, it entails the formation of blood and protection of organs. For example the ribs protect all the vital organs located on the axial region of the body. Overall, the major…
