Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by reduced bone mass, leading to bone fragility and increased risk of fractures, most commonly in the hip, wrist or spine. After menopause, women are at higher risk for osteoporosis and fractures because menopause causes decreased estrogen production by the ovaries, allowing bone-absorbing osteoclasts to overtake bone-building osteoblasts and resulting in net bone loss.

Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, leading to fragile bones that are prone to fractures. It is diagnosed based on bone mineral density measurements. Risk factors include older age, female sex, smoking, excessive alcohol use, low body weight, vitamin D and calcium deficiency, lack of exercise, and certain medical conditions or medications. Treatment focuses on lifestyle modifications to reduce risk factors as well as pharmacological therapies to prevent bone loss and reduce fracture risk. Common medications include bisphosphonates, calcitonin, estrogen therapy, SERMs, teriparatide, and denosumab.
A case study on osteoporosis
A 42-year-old female patient presented with joint pain, tremors, and tiredness. Examination and tests revealed normal vitals but low bone mineral density. She was diagnosed with osteoporosis based on her symptoms and bone density level below the normal range. Her treatment plan involved injections of sodium hyaluronate and diclofenac to control symptoms of osteoporosis.
2015: Case Studies in Osteoporosis-Kado
Mrs. H, an 82-year old woman, broke her hip after falling. She underwent surgery to repair her intra-trochanteric fracture and was discharged to a rehabilitation facility. The physician started her on alendronate to treat her osteoporosis and prevent future fractures.
Ms. T had declining bone density despite alendronate therapy. She was found to be non-compliant with calcium and vitamin D supplementation and had low vitamin D levels. She was prescribed vitamin D supplementation to address this.
Mrs. M refused bisphosphonate therapy despite vertebral fractures. She was prescribed teriparatid as an alternative to reduce her risk of future fractures.
Osteoporosis
This document discusses osteoporosis and bone health. It begins by noting the impact of osteoporosis on older patients, including increased hospital admissions and length of stay. It then discusses definitions of osteoporosis from WHO and treatment gaps. The document covers bone structure, cells, mineralization, remodeling cycles, and factors influencing bone health like hormones and lifestyle. Diagnostic methods like DXA are summarized. Treatment options focused on prevention of fractures through calcium, vitamin D, bisphosphonates, PTH, and fall prevention are outlined.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and density, leading to porous and brittle bones that are prone to fracture. It is classified as either primary or secondary osteoporosis. Primary osteoporosis includes type I, which usually affects postmenopausal women, and type II, which occurs most commonly in those ages 70-85. Symptoms may include fractures after minor trauma. Diagnosis involves imaging tests to measure bone mineral density. Treatment focuses on controlling bone loss and preventing fractures through exercise, medication, supplements, and lifestyle changes. Nursing care emphasizes safety, mobility, nutrition, pain management, and education.
osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become fragile and more likely to break. It occurs when the body loses more bone than it forms, reducing bone density and bone mass. Key risk factors include a family history of osteoporosis, being Caucasian or Asian, smoking, excessive alcohol use, and low body weight. Diagnosis relies on bone mineral density tests to determine a T-score. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like exercise and nutrition, as well as medications to reduce bone loss and increase bone formation.
Osteoporosis
This document discusses the pathophysiology, epidemiology, presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis. It notes that bone undergoes constant remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Estrogen deficiency accelerates bone loss via increased osteoclast activity. Risk factors include female gender, older age, family history, smoking, low calcium intake, and certain medications. Vertebral fractures often cause back pain and kyphosis. Treatment involves lifestyle modifications, calcium/vitamin D supplementation, and pharmacotherapy like bisphosphonates, denosumab, teriparatide, calcitonin, and SERMs. Medication choice depends on factors like fracture risk, side effect profile, and cost.
case presentation on Osteoporosis
A 75-year-old female patient presented with severe lower back pain and a stooped posture. Diagnostic tests revealed lumbar vertebral collapse and reduced calcium levels. She was diagnosed with osteoporosis based on her symptoms, physical examination findings, and test results. Her treatment plan included calcium and vitamin D supplements to strengthen bones, alendronate to decrease bone resorption, and counseling on lifestyle modifications like daily sunlight exposure and diet changes.

Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis poses a significant disease burden, with over 2 million fractures occurring annually in the United States due to low bone density or previous fractures. Bisphosphonates are the mainstay treatment for osteoporosis, approved in the 1990s, but there is ongoing research into their potential links to rare adverse events like osteonecrosis of the jaw or atypical femoral fractures. While more data is still needed, the overall benefits of bisphosphonates in reducing fracture risk are considered to outweigh the potential risks for most osteoporosis patients. Treatment duration should be individualized based on fracture history and risk level.

OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone structure. It increases the risk of fractures. The World Health Organization defines osteoporosis as a bone density 2.5 standard deviations or more below the mean bone density of healthy young adults. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard test used to diagnose osteoporosis by measuring bone mineral density at sites like the hip and spine. Lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, smoking and alcohol as well as certain medical conditions and medications can impact bone health and increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis, Diagnosis and treatment
This document summarizes osteoporosis, including its diagnosis, treatment, and management. It defines osteoporosis as a bone disease characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD). BMD testing is used to diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk. Lifestyle modifications and medications can help prevent fractures by increasing BMD. Treatment options include antiresorptive drugs that decrease bone resorption, such as bisphosphonates, as well as anabolic drugs that stimulate new bone formation.
A case about Lyme disease
A 41-year-old male has been feeling unsteady on his feet and drunk for several weeks. His symptoms are not improving and he wants to know the cause. Differential diagnoses include multiple sclerosis, cerebellar tumor, and encephalitis, but Lyme disease is suspected. Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. It is most common in geographic areas where ticks are present and risks include outdoor activities and lack of prompt tick removal.
0steoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by decreased bone strength and increased risk of fractures. It most commonly causes breaks in the back, forearm, and hip bones. While there are typically no symptoms until a fracture occurs, bones can weaken enough that minor stress or even spontaneous breaks can happen. Treatment involves regulating cells that form and resorb bone, as well as medications like bisphosphonates, calcitonin, calcium supplements, and parathyroid hormone injections to increase bone density and reduce fracture risk.

Parkinson’s disease and exercise
Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that causes shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with movement coordination. It develops due to the loss of dopamine in the brain. While medications can help increase dopamine levels, exercise is also beneficial for managing Parkinson's disease symptoms and preventing disability. Research shows that regular exercise can improve balance, mobility, and independence for those with Parkinson's by restoring lost functions and keeping muscles strong and flexible. Recommended exercises include stretching, strength training, aerobic exercise, aquatic therapy, and range of motion routines.
Bone Health, Nutrients & Diet
Slide set that accompanied a public lecture on Nutrients and Bone Health held in London September 2011. The lecture focused on the importance of diet and lifestyle in maintaining healthy bone and preventing osteoporosis. Aspects of diagnosis are reviewed and the use of bone markers to indicate bone turnover are discussed in relation to monitoring the response to treatment.

Osteoporosis: Classification, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment & Prevention
In this article, we’ll discuss what osteoporosis is, osteoporosis definition, osteoporosis types, osteoporosis causes, osteoporosis symptoms, osteoporosis medicine, osteoporosis treatment and osteoporosis prevention.
Osteoporosis:
Osteoporosis is a condition of low bone mass and decay of bone tissue prompting bone delicacy and conceivably breaking with numerous preventable and intrinsic danger factors. Osteoporosis influences bones and makes them more defenseless against sudden and unanticipated breaks and breakage. The term osteoporosis is derived from the Greek words osteon (bone) and poros (pore).

Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become brittle and weak, increasing the risk of fractures. It is caused by low bone mineral density due to an imbalance in the bone remodeling process as the body makes less new bone than it breaks down. Risk factors include age, female sex, small body frame, family history, medications, and lack of exercise. It is diagnosed through bone density scans and treated through lifestyle changes like exercise and diet with adequate calcium and vitamin D, as well as prescription medications. Preventing osteoporosis requires building strong bones during childhood and maintaining bone health with exercise and nutrition throughout life.
ANATOMY.pptx
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. It develops when more bone is broken down than replaced. Symptoms may not be noticed until a bone breaks, usually in the hip, spine or wrist. While all people can develop osteoporosis, certain groups like women over 50 and those of Asian or White descent are at higher risk. Bone density tests can diagnose osteoporosis by measuring bone mineral content using low-dose X-rays. Treatment involves medications that slow bone breakdown like bisphosphonates or stimulate new bone formation.

Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become brittle and weak, increasing the risk of fractures. It develops without symptoms until weakened bones cause painful fractures, most often of the hip, wrist, and spine. Osteoporosis is defined by low bone mineral density, measured by a DEXA scan, with a T-score of -2.5 or lower indicating the disease. Risk factors include hormones like estrogen and testosterone, medications, malabsorption, lifestyle habits, and genetics. While often asymptomatic, later stages may cause loss of height, fractures from falls, back pain from spinal fractures, and stooped posture. Management focuses on calcium, vitamin D, exercise, medication to build bone density,
Osteoporosis , causes , last update
Osteoporosis is a chronic disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, leading to fragile bones that are more prone to fractures. It occurs due to an imbalance between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. Key factors that contribute to osteoporosis include estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women, aging, calcium deficiency, use of corticosteroids, and lack of exercise. Preventive measures include maintaining a diet with adequate calcium and vitamin D, engaging in weight-bearing exercise, not smoking, and taking measures to prevent falls in older adults.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become brittle and weak, increasing the risk of fractures. It occurs when the body loses more bone than it forms, reducing bone density. Common symptoms include back pain, loss of height, and fractures of the spine, wrists and hips. Risk factors include age, gender, family history, smoking, excessive alcohol, low calcium intake, and medical conditions or medications that reduce bone density. Diagnosis involves tests like DXA scans to measure bone mineral density. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, medications, and fall prevention to reduce fractures and complications.
03 Cartilage And Bone Connective Tissue
Bones support and protect vital organs, provide muscle attachments, and allow movement. Their study is called osteology. Bones are made of tissues including vascular, nervous, connectile, muscular, cartilage and osseous tissue. They store minerals and allow hematopoiesis. Cartilage helps support structures and provides gliding surfaces at joints. Long bones have a diaphysis and epiphyses and develop through endochondral ossification.

This document provides an overview of several congenital bone and cartilage diseases including osteogenesis imperfecta, fibrous dysplasia, achondroplasia, and osteopetrosis. Osteogenesis imperfecta, or brittle bone disease, is caused by defective collagen synthesis and results in skeletal fragility. It is classified into several types based on severity. Fibrous dysplasia is a benign bone tumor characterized by proliferation of fibrous tissue replacing normal bone. Achondroplasia is caused by a mutation affecting cartilage maturation and causes dwarfism. Osteopetrosis, or marble bone disease, is defined by increased bone density due to defective osteoclast activity.

Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by porous and brittle bones. It was first coined by Jean Georges Chretien Frederic Martin Lobstein in the 1830s to describe bones with abnormally large holes. Osteoporosis risk is higher in women, especially after menopause, and can be caused by low estrogen levels, family history, small body size, and not getting enough calcium and vitamin D from diet. While often asymptomatic, osteoporosis can lead to fractures, loss of height, and stooped posture. Maintaining adequate calcium and vitamin D intake through diet and regular weight-bearing exercise can help prevent osteoporosis.
Definition & causes of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis, also known as the "silent thief", is a disease where bones become less dense and more prone to fracture. It occurs when the body loses more bone mass than it forms, causing bones to become weak and brittle. Common causes of osteoporosis include low estrogen/testosterone levels after menopause/andropause, lack of calcium and vitamin D, smoking, excess alcohol, sedentary lifestyle, certain medications like corticosteroids, and some medical conditions. The loss of bone density happens slowly and silently, often without symptoms until the first fracture occurs.
Definition&causes
Osteoporosis, also known as the "silent thief", is a disease where bones become less dense and more prone to fracture. It occurs when the body loses more bone than it forms, causing a decrease in bone mass and quality. Key causes of osteoporosis include low estrogen/testosterone levels after menopause/andropause, lack of calcium and vitamin D, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, certain medications like corticosteroids, and excessive alcohol intake. Many people are unaware they have osteoporosis until their first fracture occurs, as bone loss happens silently and progressively.
Experts explained the three leading fracture causes
The document discusses bones, bone fractures, and their causes. It notes that there are 206 bones in the human body that form the skeletal system. Bone fractures can result from falls, trauma, motor vehicle accidents, and health conditions like osteoporosis. Osteoporosis causes weak and brittle bones making fractures more likely. Surgery may be required for severe fractures. The document also mentions the drug Fosamax which is used to treat osteoporosis but can have side effects.

Risk factor of cholera
Poor sanitation and lack of access to clean water increase the risk of cholera as the bacteria can spread more easily. Those with low stomach acid, such as children, elderly, and people taking antacids are also at higher risk as cholera bacteria can survive more easily in a non-acidic environment. Living with an infected individual and consuming undercooked shellfish also significantly increase the likelihood of contracting cholera.
Diagnosis of pneumothorax
A pneumothorax is usually diagnosed through a physical exam and chest x-ray, with additional tests that may include arterial blood gases, chest CT scan, and electrocardiogram. These tests help evaluate respiratory conditions and lung diseases by measuring oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood, checking for air in the pleural space, and assessing for cardiac issues. Abnormal results on x-rays, CT scans, or blood gases can confirm a pneumothorax diagnosis.
Treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Treatment for COPD aims to prevent exacerbations and improve lung function through medications, oxygen therapy, smoking cessation, exercise, nutrition, vaccinations, and pulmonary rehabilitation. Drug therapy includes bronchodilators for mild to severe COPD and inhaled corticosteroids for moderate to very severe COPD. Oxygen therapy and surgery are also treatment options for severe COPD. The goals of treatment are to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

Storyboard on Skin- Innovative Learning (M-pharm) 2nd sem. (Cosmetics)
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.

2nd-generation Antihistaminic Part I.pptx
CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Call Girls In Mumbai +91-7426014248 High Profile Call Girl Mumbai

- 1. CASE4.1 OSTEOPOROSIS/FRACTURES Name: Arwa Al-Onayzan. ID: 215007943. Serial no: 2
- 2. Introduction Bone is the dense, calcified connective tissue it form the major portion of the skeleton. Functions of the bone: Protection. Support. Movement.
- 3. What is osteoporosis? It’s an acquired condition characterized by reduces bone mass, leading to bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. Osteoporosis-related fractures most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine.
- 4. Explain why women run a higher risk for bone fracture after menopause? Menopause Ovaries decreased production of the reproductive hormone estrogen Lack of estrogen Enhance ability of osteoclasts to absorb bone Osteoblasts aren't similarly nourished to rebuild the bone More bone is lost and women can develop osteoporosis which increases the risk of sudden and unexpected fractures.
- 5. Summary Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by reduces bone mass. Menopause is one of the strongest risk factors for developing osteoporosis.
