Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity01:26

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity

1.6K
An antigen is any substance the immune system identifies as foreign and potentially harmful to the body, prompting an immune response. Antigens have two functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity. Immunogenicity is the ability of an antigen to stimulate a specific immune response. At the same time, reactivity describes the antigen's ability to react with the cells and antibodies produced in response to it.

Bone Structure01:55

Bone Structure

51.9K
Within the skeletal system, the structure of a bone, or osseous tissue, can be exemplified in a long bone, like the femur, where there are two types of osseous tissue: cortical and cancellous.

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

40.5K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Compact Bone01:27

Compact Bone

16.8K
Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...

Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

5.5K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

The Hyoid Bone01:12

The Hyoid Bone

5.3K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rare Diseases
  • Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Gorham disease is a rare, progressive osteolysis disorder.
  • The etiology and optimal management of Gorham disease remain unclear.
  • This condition is characterized by the vanishing of bones.

Observation:

  • A case study of Gorham disease in a 25-year-old male is presented.
  • The disease involvement was specifically in the maxillofacial region.
  • Emphasis is placed on the diagnostic aspects of this rare condition.

Findings:

  • The case underscores the diagnostic complexities of Gorham disease.
  • Understanding the etiology is crucial for managing this progressive osteolysis.
  • Maxillofacial involvement presents unique clinical challenges.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the limited understanding of Gorham disease etiology.
  • Improved diagnostic strategies are needed for early and accurate identification.
  • Further research may elucidate effective management for Gorham disease, particularly in craniofacial cases.
