Summary Introduction
To review:
Based on a hypothesis, 12-month research was conducted on children having osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).
Introduction:
Osteogenesis is a genetic disorder and is found in newborn babies also. People or children suffering from OI have their scaffolding weakened and thus, become prone to bone damage. Based on the level of intensity of the disease, any child or adult may be prone to bone fractures ranging from four to five to hundreds of fractures per year. However, this disease can respond to certain drug treatments and the damage/breakage of the bones can be slowed down causing a reduced number of fractures per year.

Osteoporosis is a condition in which the activation of certain signal transduction pathways
causes calcium to be removed from bones, leaving them brittle and more likely to break
under moderate pressure.
Current research suggests that osteoporosis can be initiated under conditions of low cal-
cium intake in order to increase the availability of calcium for other biological roles in the
body.
Which of the following describes the conditions that would be most likely to initiate
osteoporosis?
A
B
с
D
insufficient amounts of calcium to allow the replication of DNA molecules during cell
division
insufficient amounts of calcium to maintain the membrane potential established by the
sodium-potassium pump
insufficient amounts of calcium ions to facilitate efficient transduction of neuronal
signals
insufficient amounts of calcium to be used in the fixation stage of the Krebs cycle in
photosynthesis
Describe the action of two drug therapies used to treat osteoporosis
What are the requirements of bone grafts that are being used for tissue engineering applications? Describe briefly bone grafts that are already applied in the clinic. Imagine that you are not seeding cells on the bone graft prior to implantation, you are demanding cell migration from neighborhood tissues via blood. In this regard, what are the required characteristics of bone grafts to support bone regeneration and vascularization?

- new supplement, "A” has been introduced as a potential intervention to reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women. A randomized controlled trial was conducted to assess the efficacy of “A” compared to a placebo in preventing osteoporotic fractures.In the trial, 800 postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A received "A”, while Group B received a placebo. After two years of supplementation, the occurrence of osteoporotic fractures was recorded. In Group A, 30 women experienced osteoporotic fractures, while in Group B, 10 women had similar events.1. Calculate the relative risk of experiencing an osteoporotic fracture for postmenopausal women in Group A "A” compared to Group B (placebo). Use the provided data: 30 osteoporotic fractures in Group A and 10 in Group B. 2.
