Abstract:
Pregnant patients with osteogenesis imperfecta type I are at increased risk of obstetric and hemorrhagic complications. Early multidisciplinary planning and anesthesiology involvement are essential. Severe postpartum hemorrhage may result from uterine atony and tissue fragility, requiring prompt uterotonic therapy, surgical intervention, blood products transfusion, and individualized analgesic management to optimize maternal outcomes.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

01:29Bone Disorders
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...
