C. both are thin

?

A

both thin cortical and trabecular

35
Q

bone mineral density scan will be abnormal in a pt with

A. bulimia

B. Anorexia

?

A

anorexia

pts can develop osteoporosis

36
Q

all the following can cause

hypogonal states

renal insufficiency –> osteodystrophy )( no a-1 hydroxy)

endocrine disorders (hyper PTH) thyrotoxicosis)

GI disorders (celiac and crohns disease both cause def in vit D)

drugs: steroids, antiepileptics (barbs, phenytoin –> inc metabolism fo vit D )

anticoagulants (heparin –> inc osteoclast activity)

PPIs (dec ca reabsorption)

rosiglitazone, plogitazone )dec osteobastic bone formation)

A

osteporosis

37
Q

how do you develop osteoporosis after post menopause

A

over expression of RANK receptors in hypoestrogenic, –> inc bone resorption due to inc osteoclastic actibvity.

38
Q

uncomfortable intercouse, irregular menses, irritability

45 yo female amenorrhea

this describes what

A

climacteric period (pre menopause)

39
Q

on the boards

pt treated with fluoroquinolones for few weeks

hes an athelete and heard a popping after jumping

+ thompson test (no planter flexion of the foot w/ squeezing the calf)

A

achilles tendon rupture

40
Q

child with

thinning of occiptial and parietal bones –> craniotabes (thinning and softening of skull)

delayed closure of fontanelle and bow legs.

protrusion of sternum

short stature

what labs do you expect

A

low ca

low phosphate

mild inc in alk phos

mild inc in secretion of PTH

41
Q

on the boards

elderly pt

w/ malnutrition and living at home w/ no UVR exposure

what would be the best marker of what this pt is deficient in

?

A

osteomalacia

25 hydroxycholecalciferol

42
Q

if you see increase alk phos

what would you check to see if its from live or bone

A

gamma-glutamy transpeptidase

elevated in liver pathology

43

in pagets disease what are the two complications

that can lead to death

A

1. high output heart failure from ateriovenous shunts in vascular boney lesions

inc risk of osteosarcoma

44
Q

radiographic clue for

osteomalacia
