Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder caused by a defect in the collagen gene that results in brittle bones that break easily from minor stress or trauma. There are four main types of OI that vary in severity from very mild to lethal in infancy. While there is no cure for OI, treatments focus on increasing bone strength through bisphosphonates and low-impact exercise, as well as surgery to repair broken bones. People with OI must manage their condition for life through precautions to avoid further fractures.

Birth defects are abnormalities present at birth that can cause disabilities or death. They range from minor to serious and affect about 150,000 babies born in the US each year. Common birth defects include spina bifida, caused by inadequate folic acid during early pregnancy and clubfoot. Spina bifida occurs when the bones of the spinal column do not fully close, leaving an opening. Early prenatal surgery may help repair some birth defects. Fetal alcohol syndrome, caused by drinking during pregnancy, can result in physical deformities and neurological issues. Cerebral palsy is caused by brain injury before or during birth and results in difficulties with movement and posture. Down syndrome, caused by an extra 21st chromosome, leads to intellectual
1) Modern chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's are increasingly prevalent, costly to treat, and largely preventable through lifestyle changes rather than just medical treatment of symptoms.
2) These "diseases of civilization" have emerged with the agricultural and industrial revolutions and are mismatched with our evolutionary biology due to poor diets and lack of physical activity.
3) While medicine has focused on curing infectious diseases, it has been less effective at preventing chronic diseases and their rising rates through the generations by not emphasizing lifestyle and environmental factors.
This document discusses how family history can provide insight into health risks and discusses strategies for prevention. It addresses how to gather family history information, common conditions that may run in families like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's, and the increased risks associated with having an affected relative. The document emphasizes that knowing family history can help guide screening and encourage lifestyle changes to prevent conditions from repeating in the family history. It provides disease-specific risk statistics and recommendations for different screening and prevention approaches based on one's family history.
There are over 300 causes of dwarfism, with the most common being a spontaneous mutation of the FGFR3 gene. The two main types of skeletal dysplasia that cause dwarfism are short trunk with average limbs, and average trunk with shorter limbs and larger head. People with dwarfism can lead normal, healthy lives through treatments like surgery, nutrition plans, physical therapy and hormone injections depending on the type of dwarfism. The likelihood of having a child with dwarfism depends on factors like the parents' height and whether one or both parents carry a dwarfism gene.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is caused by mutations in genes that produce collagen, the main structural protein in bones and other tissues. There are several types of OI ranging from mild to lethal. Type I is the most common and mildest form. Type II is the most severe and often fatal form. There is no cure for OI but treatments can help manage symptoms and strengthen bones to prevent fractures and deformities. Research is ongoing to develop new treatments but a cure is not expected soon.

Osteoporosis edited-100201092008-phpapp02Faisal Shah
This document discusses osteoporosis, including its causes, risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It describes osteoporosis as a systemic disease characterized by decreased bone strength and increased fracture risk. Key points made include:
- Osteoporosis has no symptoms until a fracture occurs and is known as the "silent epidemic".
- Risk factors include age, gender, family history, smoking, lack of exercise, and low calcium/vitamin D intake.
- Screening is recommended for women over 65 and younger women with risk factors using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans.
- Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like exercise, fall prevention, and calcium
1) Fibro-osseous lesions are a group of pathological changes where normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue with or without calcification. The WHO classifies several types including ossifying fibroma, fibrous dysplasia, and cherubism.
2) Fibrous dysplasia is caused by a mutation in the GNAS1 gene and can be monostotic (one bone) or polyostotic (multiple bones). It is characterized by replacement of bone with fibro-osseous tissue.
3) Radiologically, fibrous dysplasia lesions appear radiolucent, radiopaque, or mixed depending on the site. In the jaws, lesions are often located in
The document discusses various genetic concepts including dominant and recessive alleles, traits being expressed in offspring from the combination of parental alleles, and different types of genetic disorders. It then discusses the concept of designer babies, including how genetic screening can reduce risks of diseases and disabilities in offspring. While designer babies allow for choosing traits, some argue it could lead to eugenics. The document concludes that designer babies may help prevent miscarriages and diseases.

This document discusses patterns of inheritance and genetics terminology. It defines key terms like allele, genotype, phenotype, dominant and recessive traits. It explains Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment. It provides examples of monohybrid and dihybrid crosses using Punnett squares. It also discusses exceptions to Mendel's laws like incomplete dominance and codominance. Finally, it covers sex-linked inheritance and examples of X-linked disorders.
Saliva is produced in the salivary glands and is mostly water. It contains electrolytes, mucus, enzymes and antibacterial compounds. Saliva keeps the mouth moist, aids in chewing, tasting and swallowing, and fights germs to prevent bad breath and protect teeth from decay. The amount of saliva produced varies from 2-4 pints per day depending on factors like how much one chews. Too little or too much saliva can be caused by various diseases, medications, or conditions that impact the salivary glands or nervous system. Saliva testing is also used for early drug detection due to its correlation with impairment.

This document discusses airway and facial development, evolution, and how environmental stressors can lead to unintended physiological consequences and compromises. It explores the difference between competencies developed through genetic evolution and design, and compensations developed through environmental influences and stress, which can result in secondary dysfunctions. Specifically, it examines how competent behaviors and functions in children can be replaced by compensatory parafunctions due to environmental factors like mouth breathing, which can ultimately lead to malocclusions and other structural asymmetries if left unaddressed.
This document announces an upcoming webinar titled "Current Topics in Airway Dentistry" hosted by The Airway and Facial Development Collaborative on June 13, 2016 at 9:30 EST. The webinar will be produced by Dr. Mark A. Cruz and Dr. Barry Raphael and will discuss evolution, Darwinian dentistry, competencies, stressors, physiology, and consequences as they relate to airway dentistry.
This document provides a brief history of myofunctional orthodontics, listing important contributors from 1850 to present day. It focuses on two pioneers: Wilhelm Roux, a German anatomist in the late 19th century who first conceptualized "Functional Orthopedics"; and Alfred P. Rogers, an orthodontist in the early 20th century who advocated total-child treatment including muscular exercises to improve posture and breathing. The document presents several of Rogers' publications from 1918-1926 where he emphasized the importance of muscle training and exercises alone in orthodontic treatment.
This document discusses bringing together different approaches to orthodontics that consider airway health, including Rogers MewAngleCrozat, myofunctional orthotropics, fixed appliances, and lightwire/cranial techniques. It advocates for interdisciplinary collaboration between orthodontics and other medical fields like pediatrics, musculo-skeletal medicine, and more to implement airway-conscious treatment protocols, improve diagnostics, and raise awareness of airway health issues. The goal is improved patient outcomes through validated multi-system diagnoses and addressing the epidemiology of airway problems.
The document announces upcoming events on airway orthodontics and a new collaborative medical/dental care model. It provides information on upcoming spreecasts and mini-residency courses on airway assessment, causes of airway dysfunctions, treatment, and practice. It also includes a call for participants in a white flag initiative and invites people to subscribe to updates, provide feedback, and share invitations with others. It closes with a parting quote about evidence-based practice and the need for ongoing curiosity and discourse.
This document discusses orthodontics and airway issues. It mentions that three orthodontists who attended an AARD meeting were curious about airway problems after one mentioned speakers on health and airway journeys. The friend spent two days promoting airway awareness and ALF programs, hoping other practitioners would understand the problems and solutions. The friend suggests crafting a vision for what they hope to achieve.
The document also lists researchers and outlines a research protocol studying the relationship between malocclusions, orofacial dysfunctions, and space conditions in primary and mixed dentition.
This email from a friend discusses a presentation they saw that focused on mandibular advancement for correcting malocclusions. The friend critiques the presentation for overlooking important factors like tongue position and swallowing pattern. They believe the actual problem in the cases was a low resting tongue level caused by issues like tongue tie or bottle feeding rather than mandibular position. Correcting mandibular position without addressing the underlying tongue issues risks open bite recurrence and TMJ problems later in life. The friend argues the study design did not fully consider all impactful information needed to accurately reflect what was occurring.
This document summarizes an episode of "The Airway and Facial Development Collaborative" podcast. The episode features Darick Nordstrom discussing the power of proper facial development.

Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of the physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning objectives:
1. Define an electrocardiogram (ECG) and electrocardiography
2. Describe how dipoles generated by the heart produce the waveforms of the ECG
3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar lead (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG
6. Describe the flow of current around the heart during the cardiac cycle
7. Discuss the placement and polarity of the leads of electrocardiograph
8. Describe the normal electrocardiograms recorded from the limb leads and explain the physiological basis of the different records that are obtained
9. Define mean electrical vector (axis) of the heart and give the normal range
10. Define the mean QRS vector
11. Describe the axes of leads (hexagonal reference system)
12. Comprehend the vectorial analysis of the normal ECG
13. Determine the mean electrical axis of the ventricular QRS and appreciate the mean axis deviation
14. Explain the concepts of current of injury, J point, and their significance

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
