Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a genetic disorder that causes extremely brittle bones. This disease can cause bones to break, people can have hundreds of fractures throughout their lifetime due to Osteogenesis Imperfecta. Most of Osteogenesis Imperfecta cases are caused by a dominant genetic mutation which would be types 1-4. Types 5 -8 are inherited by a recessive mutation. Although in some rare occasions is could be a new genetic mutation. The term “Osteogenesis Imperfecta” was originated by W.…

Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, or Stone Man’s Disease, is a disorder in which muscle tissue and connective tissue, such as tendons and ligaments, are replaced by bone outside the skeleton when the tissue is wounded. When the extra bone grows over the necessary bone, precise movements are restrained, such as bending the elbow, and rotating the neck. FOP is an inherited disease that progresses over time, hence “Progressiva,” and never gets better. For this disease, there is no cure, only…

diagnostic medical sonography, diagnostic x-ray, and bone densitometry. Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disease affecting the quantity and structure of collagen that is normally found in connective tissues, bones, and the sclera, or white portion of eyes. It is estimated that this condition affects 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20,000 births (Antoniazzi, Mottes, Fraschini, Brunelli, & Tato, 2000). The abnormalities of the collagen produce fragile bones that are susceptible to breaking, even with…

There are a number of sources of ankle pain: sprains (which themselves come in two varieties inversion and eversion, whether the foot is twisted inward or outward, respectively, resulting in the excessive stretching of the ligament opposite to the direction of the twist), tendonitis of the Achilles tendon, rupture of the Achilles tendon, osteoarthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, broken ankle and stress fractures immediately come to mind. In the case of ankle…

Introduction Finger fractures are breaks in any of the bones of the fingers. What are the causes? Traumatic injury is the main cause of finger fractures. These can include: Injuries while playing sports. Workplace injuries. Falls. What increases the risk? Activities that can increase your risk of finger fractures include: Sports. Workplace activities that involve machinery. A condition called osteoporosis, which can make your bones less dense and cause them to fracture more easily. What are the…

regulation. The adult human skeletal system consists of 206 bones, as well as a network of tendons, ligaments and cartilage that connects them. The skeletal system performs vital functions — support, movement, protection, blood cell production, calcium storage and endocrine regulation — that enable us to survive. Muscles connect to your skeleton and they contract and move the skeleton along. Your skeletal system is made up of cartilage and calcified bone that work together. They help the process…

If one were to look at the skeletal structure of a whale one could see a bone structure that would fit a less aquatic mammal with there being clear kneebones in sight and also leg bones built units every devolvement these bones may have lost their effectiveness but the whale genome still is programmed to produce these bones the same comparison can be made with humans as well if one would look at a human that has been agitated for 4 weeks there is a clear tail but said tail is lost during later…

Web silks from spiders may hold the key on how to repair human bones, according to the researchers at the University of California San Diego and the University of Texas. The study also discovered a specific gene that may initiate biomineralization in human stem cells. Initiating biomineralization can activate bone formation which leads to bone regeneration or osteoregeneration. Biomineralization is a biological process which allows an organism to produce minerals. These minerals are often used…

Alissa Stevens MED 2047 Osteoporosis Instructor Michelle Earixson-Lamonthe 3/12/2015 VNFT031 Osteoporosis is the cause of more than 8.9 million fractures annually, which results in an osteoporotic fracture every 3 seconds worldwide (Johnell, 2006). Making Osteoporosis a severe musculoskeletal disease. We will cover any the expected findings, signs and symptoms that you will find upon your assessment. It will also cover the routes of treatments, medications and preventive measures…
