Questions and Verified Answers 100%
Correct (Grade A)- Wilkes
Epicondylopathy - correct answer inflammation of a tendon where it attaches to a
bone, such as tennis elbow or golfer's elbow
Muscular dystrophy - correct answer group of genetic diseases characterized by
progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles
Rhabdomyolysis - correct answer rapid breakdown of muscle that causes the release
of intracellular contents into the extracellular space and bloodstream. Muscle pain,
weakness, dark urine. Ck levels are 5 to 10 times upper limit or normal. Renal failure
likely when it reaches 15,000
Osteomalacia - correct answer inadequate or delayed mineralization of osteoid,
resulting in soft bones. Remodeling cycle proceeds through osteoid formation but
,calcification does not occur. Pain, bone fx, vertebral collapse, bone malformation.
Results from vitamin d deficiency
Osteosarcoma - correct answer most common malignant bone tumor, characterized
by tumors containing osteoid produced by anaplastic stromal cells. Located in
metaphysis of long bones.
Paget disease - correct answer chronic accelerated remodeling of spongy bone and
deposition of disorganized bone, often affecting vertebrae, skull, sacrum, sternum,
pelvis, and femur. Enlarges and softens affected bones.
Osteomyelitis - correct answer bone infection often caused by staphylococcus aureus,
characterized by fever, malaise, anorexia, weight loss, and pain
Osteoporosis - correct answer condition characterized by poorly mineralized bone and
increased risk of fractures.
, Degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis) - correct answer condition characterized by
the progressive degeneration of joint cartilage
Rheumatoid arthritis - correct answer inflammatory autoimmune joint disease
characterized by systemic autoimmune damage to connective tissue, primarily in the
joints. Inflammation, fever, fatigue, weakness, anorexia, weight loss, generalized
aching, stiffness in the mornings for up to an hour.
Fibromyalgia - correct answer chronic widespread diffuse joint and muscle pain,
fatigue, and tender joints. Absence of inflammation, fatigue, nonrestorative sleep,
anxiety, depression, increased sensitivity to touch.
Gout - correct answer inflammatory response to excessive quantities of uric acid,
leading to the formation of monosodium urate crystals in joints. Increased serum urate
concentration, renal disease involving glomerular, tubular, and interstitial tissues, and
blood vessels. Renal stones, tophi (stone-like deposits). Severe pain especially at
night, red and tender.
