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…

are bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilages, and a joint capsule. All of these parts of the knee are made of collagen, which is fibrous tissue and continues to break down as the body goes through the aging process (Marieb & Hoehn, 2013). Since the knee bears so much weight and does not have much protection from stress and other trauma, this structure is at a higher risk for injuries (Sanville, Nicholson & Driscoll, 1994). Because the knee is so vulnerable, it is…

most cases it streams from having a mutation randomly occur in the FGFR3 gene later in life. FGFR3 protein has many versions, which are found in different areas of the body. Many of these proteins are found in the cells that forms bone. FGFR3 is believed to regulate bone growth. Age can effects the mutation, therefore someone who develops achondroplasia later in life could pass a less severe case to their children. “Achondroplasia means without cartilage formation”(3), and is a Greek word.…

-The Skeletal System 1. Explain how and when bone is remodeled. Include the cells and hormones involved in the process. • Bone remodeling is essentially a lifelong process. The mature bone tissue is removed and replaced the new bone tissue. This promotes healthy bones and can also reshape the bones from injuries like fractures. Osteoblasts secrete new bone tissue while osteoclasts break down the old bone tissues. The body signals the correct amount of growth through parathyroid and growth…

that surrounds and deepens the cavity of the Glenoid. The labrum allows for full range of motion, stability, and cushioning in the shoulder. It is attached to the edge of the shoulder socket and supports the ball of the joint -or the head of the arm bone, known as the humerus- in order to stay in place. When the fibrocartilage of the labrum is torn, it is considered a labral tear. There are three common labral tears; Posterior labral tears, Superior labral tear from anterior to posterior (SLAP…

“What is it?” In response to the question, Henry Morris thoroughly looked over the new discovery of his ten year old son, Jacob Morris. After Henry’s close examination, he set down the object on the wooden table and answered. “It is a buffalo’s jaw bone.” Jacob Morris lived in a quaint log cabin with his pa, Henry, and his ma, Katherine, in eastern Montana. Though not yet admitted into the Union, Montana saw many settlers, who made the treacherous journey across the rugged plains of the…

1. INTRODUCTION OSHA defines musculoskeletal disorders as “Injuries and disorders of the muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage, and spinal disk”. According to OSHA, the MSDs listed as: Carpel tunnel, Rotator cuff syndrome, De Quervain, Trigger finder, tarsal syndrome, Sciatica, Epicondylites, and Tendonitis. Most of the work related MSD’s are developed over time and are caused by the work itself or the working environment of the employees. These are also possible to occur from…

Introduction: In 1951, Miller HM et al, first reported dental autotransplantation or autogenous tooth transplantation (1). Autogenous Tooth Transplant is defined as the transplantation of teeth from one site to another in the same person (2). The recipient site is either immediate extracted tooth socket or a surgically prepared alveolus. When there is an available donor tooth, ATT is a viable treatment option for replacement of a traumatized tooth (3). According to Mejare B et al, Molar…
