    phase "lacking cartilage development." Cartilage is hard and durable but is also a flexible tissue that makes up most of the bone structure during the early stages of development. Nonetheless, in achondroplasia there is no problem with developing cartilage, but instead the problem comes in converting it to bone, a development known as ossification, predominantly in the longer bones of the arms, such as the humerus, ulna and radius, and legs, which include the femur, tibia and fibula. Achondroplasia is

    meaning porous bone from the Greek language, is bone disease that gradually and steadily wears down bone tissue and its living cells. This wearing down will eventually cause the cells of bone tissue to degrade and die, leaving their “scaffolding” to be the only things only bone together. Without living cells to take up a home in this scaffolding, minor injuries such as falls, bumping into objects, and pressure that would normally be completely and would not pose any threat to bone tissue suddenly

    Osteoporosis, also known as porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue which leads to bone fragility and an increased risks of the hip, spine, and wrist. Both men and women are affected by this (although it affects women more) but it can be prevented and treated. In the United States, more than 40 million people either already have osteoporosis or at a high risk because of low bone mass. Sir Astley Paston Cooper was a famous English physician

    disease is very painful and quite common in people when they grow old, so therefore it is important to know every aspect from beginning to end. In the joints there are bones, and around the bones there is cartilage and synovial fluid. Cartilage is the a smooth covering that helps the bone move without rubbing bone to bone or bone to joint (2008, schueler). The primary factor here is cartilage. When there is no cartilage it causes intense

    and osteochondroma in mice Abstract Introduction Bones are dynamic tissues that undergo a constant cycle of fracturing, resorbing, and remodeling. Bone mass is reflected by the coupled balance of osteoblasts, which produce bone matrix proteins and osteoclasts, which degrade bone (Miyamoto, 2003). This opposite and complementary activity between these two lineages of cells maintains the homeostasis of bone resorption and formation during bone remodeling. Dysregulation of this process is a major

    and hypertension. This paper is going to focus on osteoporosis a disease that can initially weaken the human body without any indications. Osteoporosis according to WHO is a skeletal disease that is characterized by low bone mass and bone tissue deterioration, which results in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture (Walker, 2010). Although this disease was thought to have

    where bone tissue deteriorates resulting in reduced bone mineral density (BMD). This can lead to bone fragility and an increased risk of fractures (1). This disease is a growing concern in today’s society, particularly in women over 50 years of age (2). It is predicted that the number of cases of osteoporosis will continue to increase due to an aging population (3). Nutritional intake is a major contributor to the disease. In particular, a lack of dietary calcium, a nutrient critical to bone development

    The most compelling statements told a story of proven efficacy. That story starts with the benefit of strengthening and protecting bones from fracture with data to make the benefit seem real and achievable. Then, many women add a little bit of science to explain how Prolia works. This also makes the benefit more robust. Importantly, one shot every six months pushes the benefit to new heights because women imagine overcoming the hassles associated with oral therapies.  Non-Prolia users are further

These functions are essential to the mobility and strength of the adult population in order to preserve their quality of life. The two main age-related changes that are seen in this system pertain to the bones and soft tissues. Bone is the fundamental part

    height. Stooped posture. Bone loss. What do they all have in common? Osteoporosis. Most people do not think much about their bones or their skeleton for the most part when they injure something/bone. In fact, most of them are probably not aware of the fact that as we continue to age, it is not just our immune system or body functions that decreases with age but also our bones. In our youth, bones may seem strong, healthy and rock hard, but in reality they are not. The bones in the human body are living
