Alterations in appendicular skeletal mass in patients with rheumatoid, psoriatic, and osteoarthropathy
Abstract:
Appendicular bone mass was measured in a series of 50 patients with non-steroid treated rheumatoid arthritis, 20 with polyarticular seronegative psoriatic arthritis, and 30 with osteoarthrosis, and compared with that of 40 controls of similar age and sex. Distal forearm bone mineral content was reduced in patients with rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis and increased in those with osteoarthrosis. The increase in bone mass in patients with osteoarthrosis was confined to those with isolated large joint disease and was not found in those with primary generalised osteoarthrosis.

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...

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...
