The process of estimating a persons stature from a skeletal remains has a long history in physical anthropology. The correlation between a persons height and the length of their bones, throughout all ages allows the osteologist a better frame from which they can reconstruct an individuals stature, with the use of different skeletal elements. The use of body collections such as the Hamann and Todd collection that house around 2,600 skeletal remains of individual, who died in the 1900’s are…

pitfalls of using CHA in bone graft procedures? CHA is fragile an brittle and it should only be used temporarily 3. What is CHACC and what potentially makes it better than CHA? CHACC is Coralline Hydroxyapatite/calcium carbonate. CHACC is better than CHA because it can keep a porous structure as well s biocompatibility making it a even better player for bone grafts. There are improved biodegradation proprieties that can be suitable for bone remodeling to support natural bone healing process. …

Osteoporosis is a condition where your bones become brittle and bone mass reduces. This disease I'm focusing on is Osteoporosis in female patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammation in the joints that causes destruction and functional disability. In this disease the increase of osteoclast does take place and increases a lot of risks and of course decreases certain physical activity due to bones being fragile. There is a certain medication that they recommend…

osteochondrosis dissecans. There are a wide variety of theories to what exactly causes the development of these lesions but observably osteochondrosis is endochondral tissue that has failed to properly ossify thus creating abnormal cartilage on the bone, often seen in joints. (Kane, 2012) Of the many theories proposed on the topic, special focus should be given to the nutritional implications, effects of various training programs, and the genetic inheritance factor. Nutrition is critical to the…

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…

and types of bones and tissues it contains. The chapter talks about the different groupings of our bones and the function that each group is responsible for. They also explain the bone structure and the way our bones are connected to cartilage that allows different the different kind of movements we make. Finally the chapter closes by discussing the internal processes happening within our bones such as the way our bones grow and develop from the time we are born and also the way our bones can…

an organism. It’s made of the bones inside our body and the tissue that connects them. The function of the skeletal system is to provide support and protection for organs such as the brain, kidneys, and the heart. In addition, the bones with the help of muscle give the body structure for mobility. There’s various diseases that can affect the bones but osteoporosis is one of the most common diseases that affects people in America (Mayo Clinic: Osteoporosis 2014). Bones are tissues that are…

affects the bones, it makes them fragile and easy to break. OI has many different types; type I one being the most common and mildest, and type II is the most severe. The first case of OI was found in a partially mummified infant's skeleton found from ancient Egypt. In 1835, Jean Lobstein made the term for osteogenesis imperfecta and was the first to correctly understand the causes of the disorder. OI can be known as Lobstein disease, brittle-bone disease, blue-sclera syndrome, and fragile-bone…

debilitating if not treated. Bad posture and broken bones are hard to remedy. If your doctor has diagnosed you with the disease, you will want to know what its causes are. Of course, Osteoporosis symptoms and treatments will be at the top of your mind. Keyzofhealth provides a detailed explanation of the disease. What is osteoporosis? Osteoporosis, translated from Greek, means porous bones. The word suggests that people who have the disease have bones which are soft and fragile. Osteoporosis…

Shubin states that, “Tiktaalik has a shoulder, elbow, and wrist composed of the same bones as an upper arm, forearm, and wrist in a human,” showing its connections to the human body. He then moves onto the history of our hands, referring to Sir Richard Owen’s discovery that there was a fundamental design in all vertebrate land animals along with many marine animals. Limbs had a one bone, two bones, and several little bones structure which penguins, bats, seals, whales and even dinosaurs had.…
