Osteoporosis is a medical condition in 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…

Got milk? Hopefully so because osteoporosis is the most common type of bone disease, affecting over 200 million people worldwide. It involves the loss of bone mass and mineral content which causes the bones to become fragile and brittle. This leads to a higher risk of fractures, or breaks and cracks, than in normal bone. Literally, the word “osteoporosis” translates to “porous bones,” and occurs when excessive bone is lost, inadequate bone is produced, or a combination of both. Living with…

take calcium and vitamin D supplements, because it is much harder for the elderly to exercise, get sunlight, or even to prevent falling. Vitamin D works to increase calcium and phosphate levels, two key ingredients in bone formation, by increasing absorption from the intestines and the kidney. Furthermore, the circulating calcium and phosphate absorbed by the intestine and…

A greater risk for osteoporosis is a prominent health epidemic for postmenopausal women. During menopause, the decline of reproductive hormones such as estrogen decreases strict regulation on osteoclastic activity. Thus, an estrogen deficiency is associated with increased bone resorption caused by increased osteoclastic activity and cellular differentiation. While the gradual cessation during menopause contributes to an increased risk for osteoporosis, other influential factors include a…

Osteosarcoma is a type of cancer that starts in the bones. Osteosarcoma develops in children as well as young adults in areas where bone grows quickly. Types of osteosarcoma can be determined by what shows up on an imaging test. The cancer can be classified as High-grade, Intermediate-grade, and Low-grade. High-grade osteosarcomas are the fastest growing osteosarcoma. When studied under a microscope, many cells dividing into new cells are observed. High-grade most often is seen in children. Some…

Many of the farmers used a farming technique called dry land farming and destroyed the large areas of grassland. This, coupled with an incredible drought and Great…
