and alterations in bone microarchitecture‚ responsible for the exaggerated bone fragility therefore‚ for a high risk of fracture. Biomechanical studies show that bone mineral density (BMD) is the essential factor for bone fragility. Fractures are signs of complications and seriousness of the disease. Currently‚ the diagnosis of the disease can be done before the first fracture with the BMD and examination of risk factors (Kelman &Lane‚ 2005) Pathophysiology Bone is constantly remodeled in response

an increased risk of fracture. In osteoporosis the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced‚ bone microarchitecture is disrupted‚ and the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone is altered. Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) in women as a bone mineral density 2.5 standard deviations below peak bone mass (20-year-old healthy female average) as measured by DXA; the term "established osteoporosis" includes the presence of a fragility fracture.[1] Osteoporosis is

It recognizes as key information to evaluate the capability of formation to create an effective fracture network that conducts the hydrocarbons to each borehole. Thus differentiating brittle from ductile rocks has been the key to unique success in shale gas reservoirs. In the lab scale‚ The Brittle failure is occurred when the ability of the rock to

long period of time. Osteoporosis has no symptoms until a fracture occurs‚ which causes bone pain‚ height loss‚ and abnormal spine curvature. If a fracture is determined to be due to osteoporosis‚ it is considered a pathological fracture‚ which is a break of a diseased or weakened bone without any identifiable trauma or following a minor injury that would not ordinarily break a healthy bone (Manolagas). If diagnosed early‚ the fractures associated with the disease can often be prevented. Unfortunately

Podiatric surgery is the surgery for foot and ankle and one must find expert podiatric physicians and specialists by searching Ankle Surgery Miami A Surgery is considered when one has an unstable ankle that does not respond to nonsurgical treatment. A physical examination along with x-rays will show how unstable the ankle is. There are several types of ankle surgery:

Skeletal survey Answer Choice “E” is the best answer. A spiral femoral shaft fracture in a non-ambulatory child is considered non-accidental injury (NAI)‚ or physical abuse‚ until proven otherwise. The fracture occurs through a torsional force (twisting) applied to the leg. Skeletal survey is necessary to look for other (acute and old) fractures. Other
