There is a wide range in the causes and severity of vertebral fractures. They can be the result of low impact activities on bones weakened by osteoporosis or can be very serious injuries arsing from high impact events that can require emergency treatment. Osteoporosis causes more than 8.9 million fractures annually, resulting in an osteoporotic fracture every 3 seconds (International Osteoporosis Foundation, 2016).Osteoporosis can result in fractures occurring from low impact activities such as…
VITAMINS Vitamins are organic compounds that take part in a wide range of metabolic activities. Vitamin deficiencies can cause a variety of health problems. Cats cannot produce some vitamins from precursors (pre-vitamin structures) in the diet. For example, they must get all of the vitamin A and niacin they need directly from the food they eat. Deficiencies in vitamin A can adversely affect the health of the eyes resulting in vision issues. Adult cats deprived of niacin in the diet will lose…
Title: "Long Term Effects of Osteoporosis" The meaning of Osteoporosis is porous bones and it is one condition affecting the bone strength in individuals. It is a condition that results in thinning of bones or excessive loss of bones. With time, the bones in people suffering from osteoporosis become less strong and less dense as well. However, the bone loss frequency in people might vary. Osteoporosis is the leading cause of spine fractures in people resulting in extreme pain and deformity which…
published by national organizations that recommend variable amounts of vitamin D intake.61 The reference values (Dietary Reference Intakes) for vitamin D were established in 1997; however, novel reference values were generated based on higher quality data.40 Significant intake levels of vitamin D are somewhat more complicated and become puzzling for both health care practitioners and casualty peoples . The levels of vitamin D in the body may come from not only synthesis in the skin through UVB…
I was okay with B6, B12, Riboflavin and Niacin. On the second day, the vitamins I was deficient in were D, E, and Choline. I was okay with vitamins A, B6, B12, C, K, Folate, Thiamin, Riboflavin, and Niacin. On either day, I was not in excess with any vitamins. An early sign of a long-term Vitamin A deficiency is night blindness and the consequence of a full-blown…
I chose the topic of osteoporosis because it is a disease that almost every old person face after their bones wears down. Osteoporosis is when your bones do not have enough calcium and due to that the bones become brittle and weak. Old people and postmenopausal have the higher risk of getting this disease due to their bones getting older and weaker. Younger people wouldn’t have this problem if they ate enough calcium. Bones are an important part of your body because half of your body is bones…
the cavity. The sponge absorbs the blood and helps to retain the clot formed. This helps in bone healing and regeneration of bone. In the third Group C of 7 patients autogenous tooth bone graft (AutoBT) was used to fill the cavity. Patient’s third molar tooth is extracted and sent to tooth bank to get it grinded in granule form of 400- 800µm. Sterilization of the material is done. After enucleation and curettage this granular form AutoBT is filled in the cavity and then gingival flap is…
Today I will be talking about the human muscles and skeleton. The human muscles is a very interesting topic because of the ways the muscles control your body is amazing, the skeleton is also good but it’s scary as well because in one move and you can break a bone and it is extremely painful. I hope you enjoy reading my essay and hopefully I am able to provide you with information about your body that you didn’t know about. The human skeleton is a very interesting part of your body. It serves…
Micro-fracture consolidation can be treated with bone remodeling, and the adaptation of skeleton is applied to “calcium homeostasis” and to mechanical use. The bone remodeling involves the bone resorption regarding to osteoclasts and bone formation relating to osteoblasts. Regular bone-related diseases including “bone-metastasized cancers”, Paget’s disease, multiple myeloma, and osteoporosis are caused by the disproportion between the resorption and formation processes. The increased…
The Salter-Harris classification is a radiologic classification system, developed in the 1960s, to describe fractures involving the growth plate in pediatric patients.1 It divides the fractures into five categories based on the extent of damage to the growth plate based on the mnemonic SALTER; type I: Slip or Separation of the growth plate, type II: Above the growth plate, type III: Lower than the growth plate, type IV: Through the growth plate, and type V: Raised epiphysis. Children have open…
