Summary
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) can cause rare facial bone issues in renal osteodystrophy (ROD). A conservative surgery effectively treated a patient
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Nephrology
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Background:
- Secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a metabolic disorder from elevated parathyroid hormone.
- Untreated HPT can lead to renal osteodystrophy (ROD), a bone disease in chronic kidney disease patients.
Observation:
- Facial skeletal abnormalities are uncommon in ROD patients.
- A 24-year-old female presented with extensive ROD affecting the palate, maxilla, and mandible, causing significant esthetic and functional problems.
Findings:
- A conservative surgical approach was employed for exuberant osteitis fibrosa lesions.
- Eight years post-treatment, the patient showed no significant bone changes, indicating successful management.
Implications:
- Multidisciplinary therapy is crucial for accurate ROD diagnosis and comprehensive treatment.
- Conservative surgical management offers an effective alternative for managing severe jaw lesions in ROD.

01:24Heat and Free Expansion
2.9K
The work done by a thermodynamic system depends not only on the initial and final states but also on the intermediate states—that is, on the path. Like work, when heat is added to a thermodynamic system, it undergoes a change of state, and the state attained depends on the path from the initial state to the final state. Consider an ideal gas cylinder fitted with a piston. When the cylinder is heated at a constant temperature, the gas molecules absorb energy and expand slowly in a...

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

01:17Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
485
Renal dysfunction significantly impairs the renal clearance of drugs, leading to potential complications in drug therapy. Renal failure, which can be caused by various factors, poses a significant challenge in the elimination of drugs from the body.
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...

The expansion of alcohol in a thermometer is one of many commonly encountered examples of thermal expansion, which is the change in size or volume of a given system as its temperature changes. The most visible example is the expansion of hot air. When air is heated, it expands and becomes less dense than the surrounding air, which then exerts an upward force on the hot air to, for example, make steam and smoke rise, and hot air balloons float. The same behavior happens in all liquids and gases,...

The glomerulus and Bowman's capsule are two essential components of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney. These microscopic structures play a critical role in the process of blood filtration to produce urine.
Glomerulus: Structure and Function
The glomerulus is a tiny, intricate network of capillaries located at the beginning of the nephron. It's enveloped by the Bowman's capsule and receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole, which divides into numerous...
