Create a concept map using information from this case study:
M.S., a 72-year-old white woman, comes to your clinic for a complete physical examination. She has not been to a provider for 11 years because “I don't like doctors.” Her only complaint today is “pain in my upper back.”
She describes the pain as sharp and knifelike. The pain began approximately three weeks ago when she was getting out of bed in the morning and hasn't changed. M.S. rates her pain as 6 on a 0- to 10-point pain scale and says the pain decreases to 3 or 4 after taking “a couple of ibuprofen.” She denies recent falls or trauma.
M.S. admits she needs to quit smoking and start exercising but states, “I don't have the energy to exercise, and besides, I've always been thin.” She has smoked one to two packs of cigarettes per day since she was 17 years old. Her last blood work was 11 years ago, and she can't remember the results. She went through menopause at the age of 47 and has never taken hormone replacement…
Name 3 articles on the impact of lameness on dairy cows.
A 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.
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?
Interpret the calculated relative risk & Discuss the implications of this result on the potential effectiveness and safety of "A” in reducing the risk of osteoporotic…

View Available Hint(s)for Part C Select all of the sentences below that correctly describe the role of minerals in healthy bone tissue and osteoporosis risk. Select all that apply. A)Sufficient intakes of magnesium and potassium are associated with increased bone health. B)Regular consumption of calcium during childhood and adolescence is related to lower bone mineral density in older adults. C)The most effective way to prevent loss of bone mass and elasticity is to maintain a high bone mineral density. D)Dramatic weight loss results in less stress placed on the bones, thereby improving bone mineral density. E)Weight-bearing exercise can help prevent osteoporosis and reduce the risk of falls and fractures.arrow_forward
- Distress has several important impacts on homeostasis of calcium, which would include: Group of answer choices Reduced uptake of calcium from the intestines, even if Vitamin D was high Reduced blood flow through the kidneys and thus less ability for PTH to stimulate activation of Vitamin D Reduced blood flow through the skin and thus reduced ability to activate Vitamin D within the skin Reduced ability for PTH to bind to its receptors on osteoclasts, and thus decreased ability to liberate calcium from bones ( explain all question with proper answer and type the answer ) .arrow_forwardOsteoporosis 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 photosynthesisarrow_forwardRisk Factors from MENINGITIS AND TREATMENTS : (Please see example in image attach) *AGE *HEIGHT *GENDER *RACE/ETHNICITYarrow_forward
- Huntington chorea is an inherited disorder, with children of a parent with the disorder having a 50% chance of developing the disease. An individual with the disease usually does not manifest symptoms until he or she is between 30 and 45 years of age. The disease then progresses to death over the next 10 to 15 years. If a child of an affected parent has not developed symptoms by the age of 45, it is not likely that the symptoms will ever develop. Discuss your thinking process when deciding whether you would or would not choose to have the testing to know if you will develop Huntington chorea.arrow_forwardLuis is 85 years old.
