Adult Stem Cells01:33

Adult Stem Cells

33.9K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce more stem cells or progenitor cells that differentiate into mature, specialized cell types. All the cells in the body are generated from stem cells in the early embryo, but small populations of stem cells are also present in many adult tissues including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. These adult stem cells typically produce the various cell types found in that tissue—to replace cells that are damaged or to continuously...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation I: Adult01:21

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation I: Adult

777
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is a life-saving emergency procedure performed when a person's heart has stopped beating or they are no longer breathing. The foundation of CPR is Basic Life Support (BLS), which focuses on the early recognition of cardiac arrest, the immediate start of high-quality chest compressions, and the timely use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).Assessing Responsiveness and Checking the Carotid PulseWhen approaching an unresponsive person, first ensure...

Relationship with Other Adult Family Members and Siblings

201
Other adult family members and siblings play a crucial role in shaping children’s social and emotional development. While parents or primary caregivers are often the central figures in early attachment and socialization, other adults in a child’s life, such as grandparents, aunts, and uncles, can significantly influence developmental outcomes. These influences depend on each adult’s personality and may help compensate when a primary caregiver is emotionally distant or...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

319
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Distinctive Features of Adult Stem Cells vs Cancer Stem Cells01:18

Distinctive Features of Adult Stem Cells vs Cancer Stem Cells

4.5K
A stem cell is an unspecialized cell that can divide without limit as needed and can, under specific conditions, differentiate into specialized cells.
Adult stem cells
Adult stem cells are tissue-specific; hence, they divide to develop the tissue from which they originate. One type of adult stem cell is the epithelial stem cell, which gives rise to the keratinocytes in the multiple layers of epithelial cells in the epidermis of the skin. Adult bone marrow has three distinct types of stem cells:...

Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood03:34

Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood

50.0K
Attachment is a long-standing connection or bond with others. While Attachment Theory was conceived in developmental psychology to describe infant-caregiver bonding, it's been extended into adulthood to include romantic relationships.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) in adults presents with fractures and joint issues, often missed due to low alkaline phosphatase. Early diagnosis is crucial to avoid bone-damaging treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Metabolic Bone Disease

Background:

  • Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare metabolic bone disorder.
  • Adult HPP manifestations include fractures (metatarsal, femoral) and crystal-related arthropathies.
  • Low serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels are a key diagnostic indicator but can be overlooked.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the clinical presentation of hypophosphatasia in adults.
  • To emphasize the diagnostic importance of low ALP levels in this population.
  • To underscore the need for appropriate management to prevent bone resorption.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical cases and diagnostic criteria for adult HPP.
  • Analysis of fracture patterns and joint disease associations.
  • Evaluation of current treatment paradigms and their implications.

Main Results:

  • Fractures, particularly of the metatarsals and femur, are common in adult HPP.
  • Crystal-induced joint diseases can be presenting features of HPP.
  • Suboptimal diagnosis may lead to the prescription of bone-resorbing therapies.

Conclusions:

  • Adult hypophosphatasia requires increased clinical awareness for timely diagnosis.
  • Identifying low ALP is critical for accurate HPP diagnosis in adults.
  • Avoiding bone-resorptive treatments is essential for managing bone fragility in HPP.
