Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

4.8K
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...

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling01:31

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

3.5K
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

1.5K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

186
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...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

613
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

39.5K
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.

This summary is machine-generated.

Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) may involve inflammation, not just metabolic factors. This suggests new research avenues for earlier detection and management of bone formation.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Orthopedics
  • Pathophysiology

Background:

  • Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) is typically viewed as a metabolic condition.
  • DISH involves new bone formation primarily at entheseal sites.
  • Enthesitis in DISH shares similarities with spondyloarthritis (SpA), an inflammatory disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review non-metabolic mechanisms, specifically inflammation, in DISH pathogenesis.
  • To explore how inflammation may contribute to new bone formation in DISH.
  • To stimulate research into both metabolic and inflammatory pathways in DISH.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on pathogenic mechanisms of DISH.
  • Analysis of imaging studies comparing DISH and SpA.
  • Discussion of potential inflammatory pathways in DISH.

Main Results:

  • Evidence suggests inflammation may play a role in DISH, alongside metabolic factors.
  • Local inflammation, primary or secondary, could drive new bone formation in DISH.
  • Imaging studies reveal similarities between DISH and SpA enthesitis.

Conclusions:

  • Inflammation is a potential contributor to new bone formation in DISH.
  • A dual metabolic and inflammatory hypothesis for DISH is proposed.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate DISH mechanisms for improved management.
