Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

3.8K
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

3.1K
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...

Current Trends in Nursing II

1.4K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.8K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Hormones and Bone Tissue01:17

Hormones and Bone Tissue

2.8K
The endocrine system produces and secretes hormones, which interact with the skeletal system. These hormones control bone growth, maintain bone once it is formed, and remodel it.
Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Bone remodeling is crucial for skeletal health, but excessive resorption leads to osteoporosis, a condition often asymptomatic until fracture.
  • Osteoporosis diagnosis typically occurs late, highlighting the need for early detection technologies to prevent fractures.
  • Current methods like Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry have limitations, necessitating exploration of novel diagnostic approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey current and emerging technologies for osteoporosis diagnosis.
  • To present a scenario of technological challenges and trends in identifying individuals at high risk for osteoporotic fractures.
  • To inform the development of advanced diagnostic tools for early osteoporosis detection.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and technological assessments for osteoporosis diagnosis.
  • Analysis of methods assessing bone tissue interaction with various energy stimuli.
  • Evaluation of statistical models incorporating clinical risk factors for fracture risk assessment.

Main Results:

  • Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry and Fracture Risk Assessment tool are widely used but have limitations.
  • Emerging technologies are being developed to overcome limitations of current diagnostic methods.
  • A comprehensive overview of applied and novel techniques for osteoporosis diagnosis is presented.

Conclusions:

  • Technological advancements are crucial for improving early osteoporosis detection and fracture prevention.
  • Addressing the limitations of current diagnostic tools is essential for better patient outcomes.
  • The survey provides insights into future trends and challenges in osteoporosis diagnostic technology.
