I am attaching two photos of Skyler Yang who has endure scratches on both sides of his face; one scratch is right below his right eye and the other is nearby his nose on the left side of his face. He received these scratches after he had spent the day with his mother. Specifically with this email, I want to address my concerns regarding my children's safety. Although these injuries may seem minor, I am concern that it could have resulted in more seriousness if the scratch would have made…

It's pretty common to break a bone or two through out life. Usually when you break a bone you have to get a cast put around the broken bone to put it back into place, and sometimes surgery is necessary to fix the break. No I have never had a broken bone, though I have had a sprained ankle before. If someone gets a nose bleed that means…

of discipline and determination that I now consider one of my proudest achievements. Those eight weeks provide insight into my character that surprise even me. The words were “Non-displaced talus fracture”. Please let me explain the significance of those words. First, and foremost, a talus fracture is a serious injury to a weight-bearing bone.

Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is the gradual process in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue. They become less dense as tissue is lost and become weak and more prone to fractures. This may be due to a variety of factors and usually occurs during old age. Women are more susceptible to the development of osteoporosis. Women are more susceptible to developing osteoporosis, women are four times more likely to develop osteoporosis in their lifetime. Causes: Low oestrogen in…

Research Paper: Osteogenesis Imperfecta What is Osteogenesis Imperfecta? Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a genetic brittle bone disorder. The disorder is characterized by bones that easily break, due to little or no apparent cause. A classification system of several different types of Osteogenesis Imperfecta is used to diagnose just how severely a person with Osteogenesis Imperfecta is affected. The severity of Osteogenesis Imperfecta varies from case to case, even among cases of the same type of OI…

and not match the other bone pair. A common surgery procedure is called reduction to move the bone back in place, screws or wires may be placed to secure the area. After, a cast will hold the bone in the correct place while it heals just like most fractures. Physical therapy should be assigned by a pediatrician after healing to strengthen the bone. Most often if the injury was properly treated, there will be not long term complications but if so then special treatment is in order. If the bone…

Osteoporosis medications may help strengthen bones affected by fibrous dysplasia. This can…

Osteoporosis One disease of the bones that affects over 1 million Australians is osteoporosis. This bone-thinning disease greatly increases the risk of fractures and occurs when the “…ratio of bone formation to bone break- down…” becomes out of balance, triggering osteoblast activity to slow down (Whitney, Rady Rolfes, Crow, Cameron-smith & Walsh, 2014, p. 199). Affected bones rapidly lose important minerals, such as calcium, rendering them ineffective in replacing these important minerals…
