Synthesis and Functions of Calcitonin00:51

Synthesis and Functions of Calcitonin

1.9K
Calcitonin, a vital polypeptide hormone, regulates calcium levels within body fluids. It is released by the parafollicular cells, also known as C cells, situated in the follicular epithelium of the thyroid gland. Calcitonin responds to fluctuations in blood calcium levels and the influence of gastrointestinal hormones like gastrin and cholecystokinin.
The exact mechanisms by which calcitonin operates in calcium homeostasis remain elusive, but its significance is evident in several vital...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

973
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...

Connective Tissue Cell Types01:22

Connective Tissue Cell Types

3.2K
Connective tissue develops from the mesoderm of a developing embryo and consists of cells, fibers, and ground substance: a gel-like material containing large complexes of carbohydrates and proteins. Connective tissue was first identified as a separate tissue family in the 18th century, and Johannes Peter Muller coined the term connective tissue.
Fat cells (adipocytes), smooth muscle cells (myoblasts), and bone cells (osteoblasts) are some connective tissue cell types. Some immune system cells...

Hormones and Bone Tissue01:17

Hormones and Bone Tissue

2.7K
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Area of Science:

  • Musculoskeletal imaging
  • Radiology
  • Orthopedics

Context:

  • Calcific tendinitis (TC) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder characterized by calcium crystal deposition in tendons.
  • It often causes severe shoulder pain and restricted movement, with a complicated course in 10-30% of patients.
  • Effective management necessitates accurate diagnosis, prognosis assessment, and complication detection.

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of imaging modalities for diagnosing and managing calcific tendinitis.
  • To correlate imaging findings with disease stages, complications, and differential diagnoses.
  • To highlight the importance of integrating clinical and imaging data for optimal patient care.

Summary:

  • Standard radiological methods like X-ray and ultrasound are essential for initial diagnosis and follow-up of TC.
  • Advanced imaging techniques, including MRI and CT, aid in differential diagnosis and complication detection.
  • Combined assessment of clinical symptoms and imaging findings is crucial for prognosis, therapy planning, and complication identification.

Impact:

  • This review aids clinicians in interpreting imaging findings for calcific tendinitis.
  • It improves diagnostic accuracy and facilitates appropriate treatment strategies.
  • Enhanced understanding of imaging morphology supports better patient outcomes and management of TC.
