Q

There are many secondary causes of osteoporosis. Name a few and how they work.

A

Q

What are causes of osteomalacia?

A 
Insufficient Ca absorption (lack of intake, Vit D def) 
Phosphate defieciency (renal losses, poor absorption in GI tract)

Study These Flashcards
A

Enlarged skull, oversized joints, delayed fontanel closures, slow tooth growth, sharp thorax, bowed legs, stunted growth, difficult to walk

22
Q

What is pagets disease?

Study These Flashcards
A

Abnormal bone remodelling- excessive osteoclast-bone activity followed by unorganized osteoblast bone repair

23
Q

What is the pathophysiology of pagets disease?

Study These Flashcards
A

Unclear- genetics? environmental? viral?

24
Q

What are some risk factors for pagets disease?

Study These Flashcards
A

Mild adulthood, northern european, men = women

25
What are manifestations of pagets disease?
"cement lines", bowing of long bones, can be isolated or widespread, large joint osteoarthritis
26
What are SARDS disorders ?
Inflammation of connective tissue disorders
27
What is rheumatoid arthritis?
Autoimmune systemic disorder that is polyarticular (numerous joints)
28
What is the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis?
Peaks at 40-50 in woman >men, uncertain why but may be genetic
29
What is the pathophysiology of RA? Note: Pannus is vascular granulations tissue is formed that is destructive to joint/cartilage
T cell mediated response to trigger (inflam. mediators release, antibodies form against antigens, rheumatoid factor results in 70-80%)-> synovial inflammation and joint destruction-> fluid accumulation-> Neovascularization in synovial membrane (ingrowth of blood vessels)
30
What are articular manifestations in RA?
Symmetrical, polyarticular, pain in joints, swelling, limited joint movement, in the foot there is pain on ball and widening of forefoot, subluxation (displacement), joint instability, swelling and thickening of synovium stretches joint capsule and ligaments (deformities, muscle imbalances, swan neck)
31
What are extra articular manifestations in RA?
Fatigue, weakness, anorexia, weight loss, elevated ESR and C reactive protein b/c of inflammatory process, rheumatoid nodules (tender?, small or large, moveable or not, granulomatous with necrotic core)
32
What is the diagnosis criteria for RA?
4 or more: morning stiffness, 3 or > joints swelling, swelling to wrist or fingers, symmetric joint swelling, rheumatoid nodules, serum rheumatoid factor, radiographic evidence
33
What is systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE)?
Chronic inflammatory disease that affects the entire body, unknown cause, young woman 15-40, familial, genetic, type III hypersensitivity (formation of antibodies and immune complexes which result in immune response)
34
What are common complaints and triggers of SLE (the great imitator)?
arthralgia, myalgia, fever, fatigue, , malaise, loss of cognition temp. UV light, chemicals, foods, infectious agents
35
Name SLE manifestations in each system
Skeletal -arthralgias/arthritis -often in hands, wrist, knees -no articular destruction like other arthritis -avascular necrosis (usually femoral head) contractures, tendon rupture, subluxation Integument -butterfly rash on nose/cheek -fingertip lesions -hair loss, sunlight sensitivity Renal: glomerulonephritis, nephritis Pulmonary: pleuritis, pleural effusion Cardiac: pericarditis, heart block, HT, ischemic heart block CNS: photosensivity, stroke, thrombus, seizures, psychotic symptoms (euphoria, depression, confusion)
36
What is sclerosis/scleroderma?
An autoimmune disease of connective tissue | Widespread thickening of the skin/organ involvement
37
What are the manifestations of sclerosis/scleroderma?
limited(most common), diffuse
38
What is CREST syndrome in relation to limited scleroderma?
``` Calcium deposits on skin Reyna (lack of blood flow) Esophageal dismotility Sclerodactyly (Ca deposits in fingers, thickness) Telangiestasias (spider web venules) ``` fingers, forearms, face HT is common
39
What are manifestations of diffuse scleroderma?
widespread, rapid progressive fibrosis of skin with early movement to organs -stone face, hair loss, telangiestasis, reynaud, arthragia, myalgia, malabsorption, pulmonary fibrosis, malignant HT, pericarditis, heart blocks, myocardial fibrosis
40
What is ankylosing spondylitis?
Chronic inflammatory disease of joints- immune response that destroys joints and fuses adjacent bones late adulthood/early adulthood men>woman
41
What are manifestations of ankylosing spondylitis?
Pain (worse when immobile, persistent or intermittent) Enthesitis (inflammation of juncture of tendon progressive stiffening of spine loss of lumbar lordosis kyphosis , difficulty looking up altered centre of gravity, difficulty with balance heart and lung constricted uveitis (inflammation of uvea) weight loss, fever, fatigue
42
What is Reactive arthritis?
Joint inflammation secondary to post GI GU/HIV/STI infection (1-4 weeks after) Achilles tendon and plantar fascia are common sites
43
A form of reactive arthritis is reiter syndrome triad. What is this?
Arthritis, conjunctivitis, nongonococcal urethritis and cervicitis
44
What are manifestations of reactive arthritis?
asymmetric, lower extremities, enthesitis is common (warm, swollen, tender joints), fever, weight loss
45
What is osteoarthritis ?
Degenerative changes to articular cartilage of joints (loss of cartilage, thickening of subchondal bone, mild synovial inflammation), any synovial joint in the body
46
What are osteoarthritis risk factors? Manifestations?
Genetic, environmental Primary: UKE Secondary: genetic or acquired joint disease Insiduous, pain, stiffness, motion limitations, crepitus, instability and deformity can occur
47
What is gout syndrome?
Elevated serum uric acid Primary: UKE (increase production, decrease elimination or both) Secondary: nucleic acid breakdown, chronic kidney disease
48
What is gout..
precipitation of uric acid crystals in joints cause inflammation - peripheral joints are common - nodules form and enzymes are released and cause cell damage, inflammation, destroyed bone
49
what are triggers of gout?
Excessive exercise, dieting, alcohol, medication, foods
50
What are manifestations of gout?
Abrupt pain, redness, swelling, lasts days to weeks, remission can last months to years, tophi (collection of uric acid where crystals gel together)
