those with higher proportions of cancellous bone like the vertebrae and femoral neck
54
osteopenia
is the decline of bone density and is considered a midpoint to osteoporosis

duchenne MD
most common MD and is inherited as an X-linked recessive gene
77
pathophysiology of all MDs
a deficit of dystrophin causes skeletal muscle to gradually be replaced with fibrous tissue, causing muscle function to be lost

respiratory or cardiac failure
83
primary fibromyalgia
is a group of syndromes characterized by pain and stiffness affecting muscles, tendons, and surrounding soft tissues
84
cause of primary fibromyalgia
not fully understood but central nervous system transmission is altered, resulting in increased soft tissue sensitivity to substance P, a neurotransmitter involved in pain
85
signs of primary fibromyalgia
muscle aching, fatigue, sleep disturbances, depression, and IBS; men also have jaw pain and headaches
86
myositis
refers to inflammation and damage of the muscles caused by secondary conditions
87
types of myositis
polymyositis, dermatomyositis, juvenile myositis (these are autoimmune diseases), inclusion body myositis, and toxic myositis
88
primary vs secondary OA
primary is associated with aging and obesity and secondary with abuse or injury
89
how does OA develop?
damage of the articular cartilage becomes rough due to breakdown, causing the release of enzymes which accelerate this degeneration; cysts and osteophytes develop and may narrow the cavity and break off
90
how does RA first appear?
symmetrical involvement of the small joints
91
how does RA develop?
due to an abnormal immune response (autoimmune), often viral, causing synovitis which results in the production of antibody rheumatoid factor which defends against immunoglobulin G
92
exacerbations of RA
inflammation of the synovium reoccurs and granulation tissue called pannus forms over the articular cartilage, releasing destructive enzymes; cartilage erodes and nutritional supply is limited; in time, the granulation tissue will be replaced by fibrous tissue, and ankylosis may develop
93
ankylosis
refers to joint fixation
94
changes around the joint in RA
muscles atrophy, tendons and ligaments stretch, spasms may occur, alignment of the joint shifts, and contractures and subluxation develop
95
systemic effects of RA
nodules on the extensor surfaces, pleura, heart, or eyes may form; fatigue, malaise, fever, anorexia, and iron-deficiency anemia (doesn't respond to treatment) may also develop
96
criteria for diagnosis of RA
swelling of 3 joints for a minimum of six weeks
97
celecoxib
inhibits prostaglandin production during inflammation and is used to treat RA; however is associated with increased risk of MIs and strokes
98
JRA vs RA
JRA is more acute, with more systemic effects, and affects larger joints; RF and nodules are absent; antinuclear antibodies may be present as well
99
systemic signs of JRA
rash, fever, lymphadenopathy, uveitis, and hepatomegaly
100
infectious arthritis
aka septic arthritis; is caused by a bacterium and usually develops in a single joint, causing redness, swelling, pain, decreased ROM, and purulent exudate
101
causative organism for infectious arthritis
gonococcus or staphylococcus
102
psoriatic arthritis
is an autoimmune disorder that is accompanied by psoriasis; can appear in many different forms, ex. symmetric or asymmetric
103
signs of psoriatic arthritis
swollen tender joints, painful muscles and tendons, scaly skin patches and scalp, nail pitting, and eye pain
104
gout
results from deposits of uric acid and urate crystals in the joint cavity that cause an acute inflammatory response; usually affects a single joint and causes pain, redness, and swelling
105
tophus
is a large, hard nodule of urate crystals in soft tissue or bone, causing a local inflammatory response
106
common locations for tophus
burase, extensor surfaces of the forearm, and the ear
107

is a progressive autoimmune inflammatory disorder affecting the sacroiliac joints, intervertebral spaces, and costovertebral joints of the axial skeleton, characterized by remissions and exacerbations
108
cause of ankylosing spondylitis
is an autoimmune disorder with a genetic basis and the HLA-B27 antigen
109
pathophysiology of ankylosing spondylitis
inflammation of the joints leads to fibrosis and calcification, resulting in fixation of the joint that begins at the sacroiliac joints and progresses up the spine; kyphosis and osteoporosis develop, as well as impaired lung expansion
110
signs of ankylosing spondylitis
lower back pain and stiffness that is similar to sciatic pain; as calcification develops, the spine becomes more rigid; systemic signs and uveitis also may develop
111
bursitis
inflammation of the bursae often a result of repetitive motions like throwing a baseball
112

plays a role in energy storage and is released by damaged muscles
115
still disease
is present in JRA and includes systemic effects like rash, fever, lymphadenopathy, and hepatomegaly
