Osteosarcoma is the second most common primary bone tumor arising from mesenchymal cells. It most often affects people between 12-25 years old. Evaluation involves imaging like x-rays and MRI to determine tumor extent and biopsy for diagnosis. Treatment is typically neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection with wide margins and reconstruction. Prognosis has improved with current multimodal treatment approaches.
RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY OF ARTERIAL SUPPLY OF BRAINMohammad Naufal
1. The arterial supply of the brain comes from the internal carotid arteries and vertebral arteries, which form the circle of Willis at the base of the brain.
2. The main branches of the vertebral arteries include the posterior inferior cerebellar artery and posterior spinal arteries. The vertebral arteries join to form the basilar artery.
3. The internal carotid artery gives off branches that include the anterior cerebral artery, middle cerebral artery, and anterior choroidal artery. These arteries supply different regions of the brain.
4. The circle of Willis is formed by the anterior and posterior cerebral arteries connecting the left and right internal carotid and basilar arteries, allowing for collateral blood flow in case of arterial occlusion.

It also covers current, developing and potential clinical indications for MSK US in evaluating conditions like effusions, synovitis, tendon tears, and bone abnormalities. Finally, it discusses tendon anatomy in detail, describing the histological structure and features of supporting versus sliding tendons, as well as myotendinous and osteotendinous junctions.
Rickets is the softening and weakening of bones in children, usually because of an extreme and prolonged vitamin D deficiency. Rare inherited problems also can cause rickets.
Vitamin D helps your child's body absorb calcium and phosphorus from food. Not enough vitamin D makes it difficult to maintain proper calcium and phosphorus levels in bones, which can cause rickets.
Adding vitamin D or calcium to the diet generally corrects the bone problems associated with rickets. When rickets is due to another underlying medical problem, your child may need additional medications or other treatment. Some skeletal deformities caused by rickets may require corrective surgery.
Rare inherited disorders related to low levels of phosphorus, the other mineral component in bone, may require other medications.

This document discusses the etiology and diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. It lists various etiological factors including mechanical obstruction, alcohol, hypertriglyceridemia, genetic mutations, drugs, infections, and trauma. It describes the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis based on abdominal symptoms, lipase or amylase levels, and imaging findings. It also discusses local complications like acute peripancreatic fluid collection, pancreatic pseudocyst, acute necrotic collection, and walled-off necrosis. Organ failure is defined using the Modified Marshall Scoring System.
The document discusses key concepts in metabolism including:
- Metabolism extracts energy from fuels like carbohydrates and fats through catabolism and uses this energy to synthesize complex molecules through anabolism.
- Coupled reactions allow thermodynamically unfavorable reactions to proceed by making the overall free energy change negative.
- ATP is the universal energy currency in biological systems, and its hydrolysis drives metabolism by shifting reaction equilibria.
The document discusses different carbon fixation pathways in plants. C4 plants fix carbon dioxide in mesophyll cells before it is transported to bundle sheath cells, concentrating CO2 around Rubisco and reducing photorespiration. This allows higher photosynthesis rates with lower transpiration. C4 plants evolved in hot, dry climates. Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants fix CO2 at night and store it as malate, releasing CO2 for photosynthesis during the day, reducing water loss. CAM metabolism is inducible and some plants like ice plant switch to CAM in response to salt or drought stress.
The document discusses photosynthesis in C3 and C4 plants. It shows that willow and maize plants will both survive under a sealed cover individually, but only the willow survives when the two are combined, due to the maize plant using oxygen during photosynthesis. It then examines the differences in carbon fixation pathways between C3 and C4 plants, including their A-Ci curves and leaf anatomy, showing C4 plants have adaptations that allow them to more efficiently fix carbon in hot, dry environments. The document depicts the pathways that allow C4 plants like maize to concentrate CO2 around rubisco through compartmentalization between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells.
The rate of photosynthesis is often lower than expected for several reasons: 1) Dark respiration occurs during the day which reduces net photosynthesis, 2) Not all wavelengths of light are absorbed efficiently by leaves, and 3) Factors like photorespiration and suboptimal conditions can limit carbon fixation and respire photosynthates. Leaf anatomy, physiology, and environmental conditions can prevent photosynthesis from reaching its maximum potential.
