(a) What type of arthritis does she have? (b) What is the cause of joint inflammation in this type of arthritis?

She is moderately overweight and smokes half a pack of cigarettes per day. Her mother had severe arthritis that began when she turned 70 years. She is concerned that she may be showing signs of arthritis." Questions 1.What are the symptoms of arthritis? What are some preventive measures Sally can take to slow down joint damage and reduce the effects of arthritis? 2.Because she had her children 30 years ago, both of whom were 10-pound babies, Sally has had high blood pressure and low HDL levels. Are there any other diseases for which she also may be at high risk?arrow_forwardA call to the doctor’s office from an anxious mom reports that her 8-year-old son, Billy, arrives home from school with multiple small bruises (petechiae) and a few larger bruises (ecchymosis) on his arms, legs, and trunk. These bruises were not there when he left for school, and Billy denies being hit or falling. Mom states that he has no significant medical history, and that he is not on any medications. Billy is taken immediately to the emergency room. The mother becomes increasingly anxious as she notices new bruises appearing “in front of her eyes.” Billy also appears tense as he senses some urgency and notices some concern from medical personnel beginning the assessment. Why does unexplained multiple bruising in a child or adult require prompt medical attention? How might you understand the natural concern by medical personnel as to the source of the bruises on Billy’s body? Early assessment of Billy’s vital signs and the child’s welfare indicate that Billy’s condition…arrow_forward

First, though, he wanted her to "pre-hab"-that is, take physical therapy for several weeks-in order to have the knee and leg in the best possible shape before the surgery. She was also instructed to use a more substantial brace. Dr. Leutz described the procedure: either a cadaver tendon OR the middle third of her patellar tendon would be removed and used to replace the ACL, which would be removed. Elaine opted to use her own tendon. Five weeks later, Elaine went in for surgery. She was given a drug used for conscious sedation as well as a general anesthetic. Through the arthroscope the surgeon noted significant injury to both the medial and lateral menisci, which he repaired with sutures and screws. The pieces of the torn ACL were removed. A superficial incision was made in the midline…arrow_forwardWhat is the etiology of rheumatoid arthritisarrow_forward
