Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

322
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification01:24

Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification

7.7K
Bone formation, or ossification, begins around the sixth to seventh week of embryonic development. Most bones develop from a cartilaginous template through the process of endochondral ossification. Cartilage formation begins when clusters of mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes. These chondrocytes proliferate rapidly and secrete an extracellular matrix that becomes encased in a membrane called the perichondrium. The resulting cartilage model provides a template that resembles the...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age

3.2K
The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue

3.9K
Chondrocytes form a temporary cartilaginous model by dividing and secreting a thick gel-like extracellular matrix. Once the chondrocytes undergo programmed cell death, osteoblasts enter the site of the cartilaginous model. The process of replacing the temporary cartilaginous model with bone in an ordered manner is called endochondral ossification. In endochondral ossification, not all of the cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Some cartilage that performs a protective and supportive function...

Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: Bone Repair

4.6K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints01:17

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints

3.5K
As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but flexible type of connective tissue. Unlike synovial joints, these types of joints lack a joint cavity and involve bones joined together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Juvenile intervertebral disc calcification can cause disc herniation but usually resolves with conservative treatment. Recognizing this rare condition avoids unnecessary tests and surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Spinal Imaging

Background:

  • Juvenile intervertebral disc calcification (JIDC) is a rare, self-limiting condition.
  • Disc herniation in children is uncommon and requires careful diagnosis.
  • Conservative management is often the primary approach for pediatric spinal conditions.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric cases of disc herniation associated with JIDC were identified.
  • Imaging findings revealed calcification within the intervertebral discs.
  • Clinical presentation included symptoms consistent with disc herniation.

Findings:

  • The presented cases highlight the association between JIDC and disc herniation.
  • Conservative treatment led to resolution in these cases.
  • Literature review confirms JIDC as a rare but recognized entity.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of JIDC associated disc herniation can prevent unnecessary investigations.
  • Avoidance of invasive procedures like surgery is possible with correct identification.
  • This entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric disc herniation.
