Q

Paget disease of bone

A

imbalance btw osteoclast and osteoblast function, usually seen in late adulthood. osteoclasts begin resorbing bone wildly. eventually, the osteoblasts activate and try to lay down as much bone as possible. then, osteoclasts burnout, and then you just have osteoblasts laying down as much bone as possible in a rush. stages: lytic, mixed, sclerotic (quiescent)
May be a viral process. involves a few bones, not the whole skeleton.
end result: thick, sclerotic bone that fractures easily

2
Q

What cell is regulated by PTH

A

osteoblast. then the osteoblast directs osteoclast resorption

3
Q

histo finding of paget disese

A

mosaic pattern of lamellar bone

4
Q

clinical features and lab features of paget disease

A

bone pain from microfractures, incr. hat size, hearing loss (narrowing the foramen), lion like faces, isolated, elevated alk phos

5
Q

Tx of paget disease

A

calcitonin and bisphosphonate

6
Q

complications of paget disease

A

high output cardiac failure (AV shunts through thick bone). osteosarcoma.

7
Q

Osteomyelitits

A

infectionsof marrow space and bone. usually in kis. usually bacterial from hematogenous spread. seeds metaphysis in kids (from transient bacteremia). epiphysis in adults (from open wounds). remember, epiphysis at top

8
Q

causes of osteomyelitis

A

S. aureus, N gonorrhea, salmonella (sickle cell diseae), pseudomonas (diabetic, IV drug user), pasturella (dog/cat bite), TB

9
Q

Clinical features of osteomyeltis

A

bone pain w/ fever and leukocytosis. lytic focus surround by sclerosis on x ray. Dx by blood culture

10
Q

aseptic necrosis: associated diseases, complications

A

ischemic necrosis of bone and bone marrow from trauma/fracture, steroids, sickle cell (esp. in finger or toe bones), caisson disease (gas emboli preciptate out of the blood).
complications: osteoarthritis, fracture

11
Q

Most common site of aseptic necrosis:

A

femoral head from insufficiency of medial circumflex femoral artery

12
Q

osteomalacia lab findings

A

decr. serum Ca and phosphate, increased alk phos and PTH

13
Q

What are findings associated with hypervitaminosis D

A

incr. Serum Ca and PO4 3-, normal Alk phos, decr. PTH. caused by over-supplementation or granulomatous disease (like sarcoid)
