Burkitt's Disease

     Diagnosing Addison’s disease is most accurately done with biochemical laboratory tests which consist of an injection of ACTH then monitoring the ACTH output in a patient’s urine and/or the levels of ACTH in the patient’s blood to see how the person’s body reacts to the injection. Physicians can also detect Addison’s disease by an insulin-induced hypoglycemia test, which monitors how the adrenal glands, the pituitary glands, and the hypothalamus respond to stress. In this test the patient’s levels of blood glucose and cortisol are measured over an hour and a half following an injection of fast acting insulin. Physicians may also use test such as x-rays of the adrenal glands to check for calcium deposits that may indicate TB. Physicians my also use different imaging tools such as a CT scan to compare the size and shape of the patient’s pituitary gland.

Infants start out with bowlegs because of their folded position while in their mother's womb. The legs begin to straighten once the child starts to walk when they about 12 to 18 months. By age 3, the child becomes knock-kneed. When the child stands, the knees touch but the ankles are apart.

Knock knees can also develop as a result of a medical problem or disease, for example: Injury of the shinbone which mean only one leg will be knock- kneed, Osteomyelitis which is a bone infection, Overweight, and Rickets is a disease caused by a lack of vitamin D.

Leukemia most common treatments are: Chemotherapy, Radiation therapy, and Bone marrow transplantation, and then there is also Biological therapy.
