Is it possible for new disease develop from an old one?
Yes, it is called evolution.
What is pagets disease?
From MedicineNet.com: " Paget's disease is a chronic bone condition characterized by disorder of the normal bone remodeling process. Normal bone has a synchronized relationship of mechanisms that act to lay down new bone and take up old bone. This relationship (referred to as remodeling) is essential for maintaining the normal calcium levels in our blood. In bone affected by Paget's disease, the bone remodeling is disturbed and not synchronized. As a result, the bone that is formed is abnormal, enlarged, not as dense, brittle, and prone to breakage (fracture). Paget's disease affects older bone of adults. It's estimated that 1% of adults in the U.S. have Paget's disease. There is an extremely rare form of Paget's disease in children, referred to as juvenile Paget's disease. Paget's disease is also known as osteitis deformans." See related links below for the rest of the article.
The continued erosion and replacement of bone tissue is called?
The continued erosion and replacement of bone tissue is called bone remodeling. This process is balanced by osteoclasts breaking down old bone and osteoblasts forming new bone. It is essential for maintaining bone health and strength.
When did Garrett hamm die?
At age 28 from a rare bone disease called plastic anemia.
What is the risk for osteoporosis for a 50 year old woman?
If you have a family history of osteoporosis, osteopenia (mild bone loss but not considered osteoporosis), or any other bone related disease, you have a mild chance of developing bone loss. After early adulthood, being a woman, and reaching menopause all greatly increase your odds of developing this disease.
Will a three year old horse develop more bone?
Absolutely! A horse is not finished maturing until they are over four and a half years.
What causes bone disease?
Aids.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:Degenerative Bone Disease:Saying the Degenerative Bone Disease IS Osteoporosis is a misnomer, and NOT entirely correct. It would be better to say that Osteoporosis is one of the most common causes of degenerative bone disease; but DBD can be the result of several disorders/diseases that affects the bones. In addition to Osteoporosis, which can cause serious fractures; there are other diseases/disorders that can lead to bone degeneration, even cartilage loss - Vitamin D deficiency; chronic Kidney disease and Renal disease; Parathyroid disease; sever calcium deficiency; bone injuries; Spinal Spondylosis; Menopause; medications (some prescriptions can harm the bones); Jaw DBD either or both the mandible or maxilla (the following jaw disorders/disease can progress into DBD, Periodontal disease, cancer, tooth extractions spreading infection to the bone, an abbess infection spreading to the bone, jaw deformities, Osteonecrosis, and injury…); Obesity (can cause poor bone health which can lead to DBD); Paget 's disease (can lead to DBD, even bone cancer)… Bones are made up of healthy living cells which break down old bone tissues, thereby building new marrow and bone cells (Osteoclasts and Osteoblasts). When these cells can NO longer do the job that they are meant to do the bones can break down and weaken.Degenerative Bone Disease (DBD) is often confused with Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD):Degenerative bone disease not only causes damage to the bone, it can involve the joint. If the joint is involved, it can also cause deterioration to a joint's cartilage. Cartilage damage with DBD is secondary to its bone damage, because it is a disease of the bone that is primary. It is DBDs effect upon the bone that adds to the destruction of the cartilage. Once the cartilage is gone, it allows the two ends of the bone joint to rub together, thereby adding more corrosion of the weakened bone. The damage caused to the bone can become much more extensive once the cartilage of the joint is gone.Below are two types of Degenerative Joint Disease:Osteoarthritis - (This can add to DBD, but it is NOT the cause of it; it is Degenerative Joint Disease - DJD.)Rheumatoid Arthritis- (As with Osteoarthritis, this is degenerative joint disease - in overdrive! It causes serious inflammation in the joint and the surrounding tissues; this is what causes the extensive damage that is seen with this disease. RA causes serious deformities to the joint its connecting bone, as the bone and cartilage erodes. Rheumatoid Arthritis can add to DBD; it is NOT the cause it.)
What refers to the two step process to which bone tissue is recycled?
Bone remodeling refers to the two-step process in which bone tissue is constantly broken down and rebuilt by specialized cells called osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Osteoclasts break down old or damaged bone tissue in a process called resorption, while osteoblasts build new bone tissue in a process called formation.
What accomplishes bone resorption?
Bone resorption is accomplished by specialized cells called osteoclasts. These cells are responsible for breaking down and removing old or damaged bone tissue, allowing for new bone formation and remodeling. The process of bone resorption helps regulate calcium levels in the body and is essential for maintaining bone health.
How do you catch cardiovascular disease?
You do not catch a cardiovascular disease, due to the fact that heart diseases are not contagious. A person is born with a cardiovascular disease in their family, and are therefore more likely to have one later in life, or develop one due to bad physical maintenance, such as unhealthy eating, and lack of exercise. Heart diseases usually develop in old age.
The most common bone disease is?
There are quite a few disease that can affect the bones in your body. I will name the top 3. They are Osteoporosis, Osteogenesis imperfecta, and Paget's disease. A short description of the three are listed below:1.) Osteporosis, is the most commonly known one, this affects people of all ages, but is common in older women. Osteoporosis, as defined by Google Health, is the thinning of bone tissue and loss of bone density, or when the bone simply just gets too old and the body fails to produce enough new bone. 2.) Osteogenesis imperfecta is a condition that causes extremely fragile bones. This disease is known an congenital, meaning it occurs at birth.3.) Paget's Disease is a chronic bone condition that is characterized by disorder of the normal bone remodeling process. This disease is most common in older adults. Paget's Disease is rarely found in children, mainly just adults. Bone diseases may come in different names. But basically, all of it involves the break down or weakening of the bone tissues in the body. there is basically, many bones.The diseases of bones are:Rickets,Osteoporosis,Scolios,Arthritis and Bone Infections.osteoporosis, cancer, osteogenisis imperfecta, Paget's disease, Rickets, osteonecrosis.Heres some of umBone cystBone spur (Osteophytes)Bone tumorCraniosynostosisFibrodysplasia ossificans progressivaFibrous dysplasiaGiant cell tumor of boneHypophosphatasiaKlippel-Feil syndromeMetabolic Bone DiseaseOsteitis deformans (or Paget's disease of bone)Osteitis fibrosa cystica (or Osteitis fibrosa, or Von Recklinghausen's disease of bone)Osteitis pubisCondensing osteitis (or Osteitis condensans)Osteitis condensans iliiOsteochondritis dissecansOsteochondroma (Bone Tumor)Osteogenesis ImperfectaOsteomalaciaOsteomyelitisOsteopeniaOsteopetrosisOsteoporosisOsteosarcoma (Bone Tumor)Porotic hyperostosisPrimary hyperparathyroidismRenal Osteodystrophy
What is it called when individual grows to adulthood is the thickness (diameter) of bone increased?
Appositional growth is the process by which old bone that lines the medullary cavity is reabsorbed and new bone tissue is grown beneath the periosteum, increasing bone diameter.
