Introduction The spine column is one of the most frequent sites for bone metastases that occur in patients with developed cancer, especially prostate, lung and breast. Intolerable pain is the major symptoms that appear with bone metastasis and severe pain reduces quality of life [1-4]. Treatment of spinal metastases is a multidisciplinary approach involving conventional external beam radiotherapy, surgery, narcotics, bisphosphonates, percutaneous vertebral body augmentation, systemic radionuclides

posteriorly at upwards to 50 degrees (raredisease.org). The arms of the human skeleton can be abducted or adducted contingent upon the position the arm is in when the muscles are ossified. The joints will become locked, most commonly the mandible (jaw bone) and coxal joint, as well as the joints of the elbow, knee, and ankle (iofpa.org). As the skeletal muscles ossify, the skeleton can take numerous shapes and malformations, which they are contingent upon what position the body part is in when the muscle

Eversion ankle sprains are uncommon ankle sprains of the medial(inside) side of your foot. Eversion sprains represent about 5-10% of all ankle sprains. Sprains to the ankle or caused by stretching or tearing of ligaments in your ankle. Eversion sprains are caused when the ankle is forced to go beyond ligamentous and muscular control and applying a large amount of stress on your deltoid ligament. The Deltoid Ligament is a fan shaped ligament on the medial(inside) side of the ankle. It is inferior(below)

Discuss the shadows around the patella: A Tangential View of the knee provides the clinician information for interpretation of the patellofemoral joint integrity. There is joint space narrowing between the patellae and femoral condyles more significant in the lateral aspect of the joint with the left more involved than the right, indicative of degenerative changes occurring in the patellofemoral joint. This therapist is a novice at interpretation, though the shadows around the superioanterior aspect

The human body tissues fall into four major radiodensities; air which appears black, fat which appears gray/black, water which appears gray, and bone which appears white (McKinnis, 2014; Smith, n.d.). Air has the least radiodensity of all body structures, therefore is the most radiolucent on a radiograph (McKinnis, 2014; Lowe, n.d.; Stokell, n.d.). The lucency of air provides contrast to allow visualization of various structures, such as the heart and great vessels outlined against the air-filled

Statistics say that an estimated twenty seven million people age twenty-five and older have osteoarthritis? Arthritis is one of the oldest diseases. There is evidence that it has been in this world since the beginning of civilization. “It is an established fact that the dinosaurs suffered from arthritis and there is ample proof to show that our earliest ancestors also suffered from chronic aches and pains”(RSS). In 4500 BC, arthritis was discovered in humans. It was first discovered in a mummy,

Wrist Pain Wrist pain may be caused by many things.

body. Long ago it has been established that Vitamin D is important for healthy bones, this is because Vitamin D enables the absorption of vital minerals. These minerals include Calcium and Phosphate both can only be useful to bones when the needed amount of Vitamin D is present in the body to absorb it. The elements create strong bones and protect against disorders such as osteomalacia, which is the softening of bones. This vitamin is also needed for your immune system to function properly, since

The interrelated factors of the female athlete triad are energy availability, menstrual function, and bone mineral density each of which develops along a continuum. Each factor may progress to a point where it is a clinical condition such as an eating disorder. The three factors may be present together and have developed in sequence, low energy availability due to low energy (caloric) intake and high energy expenditure leads to amenorrhea that leads to osteoporosis, although each of these conditions
