dysregulation
Type IX collagen does what ✔✔The glue that holds together the type two collagen acaffold of
articular cartliage

eaten pattern of bone destruction.
Giant cells in myelogenic tumors affect what gender more often ✔✔females
what is the hallmark of the OA process ✔✔Loss of proteoglycans from the articular cartilage
what is chronic fatigue syndrome ✔✔(Myalgic encephalomyelitis)- a debilitating and complex
disorder characterized by profound fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, cognitive impairment,
unrefreshing sleep, impaired neurologic energy production, and immune impairments.
what layer of the skin has langerhans-cells with dendritic processes and immune function
✔✔epidermis
what is a vesicle ✔✔elevated, superficial, filled with serous fluid, less than 1cm. Ex-herpes,
varicella
what is a bulla ✔✔vesicle greater than 1cm- Ex- blister
what are telangictasias ✔✔fine, irregular red lines produced by capillary dilation
Which type of collagen provides the scaffolding of articular cartilage? ✔✔Collagen IX is the
collagen, or scaffolding, that holds articular cartilage in place.
What is the term for a chronic inflammatory joint disease characterized by stiffening and fusion
of the spine and sacroiliac joints? ✔✔Ankylosing spondylitis is the result of chronic
inflammation in the spine and sacroiliac joints resulting in stiffening and fusion of the spine.
what is osteomyelitis ✔✔infection of bone
Describe the most likely route by which the microorganisms reached the patient's bone.
Submit and Compare, displayed below ✔✔The microorganisms likely reached her bone by
extension from the nearby infected ulcer at the base of her big toe.
Name the microorganism that is most likely causing the osteomyelitis.
Submit and Compare, displayed below ✔✔staphylococcus aureus is the most common pathogen,
although many diabetic foot ulcers are polymicrobial infections.
Describe sequestrum. ✔✔Sequestrum is an area of necrotic bone that separates from the healthy
bone.
What is the most common cause of a corner metaphyseal fracture in a child younger than 12
months of age? ✔✔A transverse tibia fracture resulting in a straight horizontal break across the
tibial shaft is a common cause of a corner metaphyseal fracture in a child under 12 months of
age. A transverse fracture is caused by direct force, often involving the metaphysis, and is
considered a sign of suspected physical abuse, though transverse fractures could be caused by
other types of trauma. A spiral fracture, caused by a twisting force, also often involves the
metaphysis and is also a sign of suspected physical abuse.
Evaluation of osteogenesis imperfecta ✔✔hould include genetic testing, bone scans, and bone
density testing. Osteogenesis imperfecta is a disorder caused by a genetic mutation in the gene
that encodes for type I collagen, the main component of bone and blood vessels. The Sillence
classification defines four types. Types I and IV are milder forms and are inherited in an
autosomal dominant pattern. Types II and III are more severe and are inherited in a recessive
pattern. The classic clinical manifestations of osteogenesis imperfecta are osteopenia and an
increased rate of fractures. Type IV can be subtle with more normal stature and fractures, often
not occurring until children are older; however, it can be misdiagnosed as child abuse.
The medical treatment for osteogenesis imperfecta ✔✔involves increased calcium and vitamin
D. Pamidronate and other bisphosphonates, such as alendronate (Fosamax) which decrease bone
resorption by inhibiting osteoclasts, are now frequently used.
What is the most common type of skin cancer? ✔✔Basal cell carcinoma is the most common
type of skin cancer.
Which skin infection is caused by a virus?
Herpes simplex
Acne
Erysipelas
Furuncles ✔✔Herpes simplex is a result of the herpes virus.
Scabies is characterized by burrows and papules.
True
False ✔✔Scabies is caused by the mite, sarcoptes scabiei, which burrows under the skin and lays
its eggs. The burrows are produced from the actual burrowing of the mite, while the papules
result where the mite settles to lay its eggs. Scabies infestation is intensely pruritic, often
resulting in excoriation due to scratching at night when the mites are most active.
What is a complication of rhabdomyolysis?
Paresthesia
Paralysis
Pruritus
Dark urine ✔✔Dark urine is one of the classic findings of rhabdomyolysis, along with muscle
weakness and pain.
Which clinical manifestation may Paget disease exhibit?
Increased sympathetic nervous system discharge
Increased lacrimation
Cranial nerve dysfunction with impaired motor function
Decreased density of the skull bones ✔✔Cranial nerve dysfunction with impaired motor function
may occur due to complications from pagetic involvement of the skull.
Which statement is true regarding bone growth?
Bone growth occurs at the diaphysis.
Bone growth occurs through a process of cellular aggregation.
Cartilage cells multiply and enlarge at the epiphyseal side.
Cartilage cells multiply and enlarge at the metaphyseal side. ✔✔Cartilage cells multiply and
enlarge at the epiphyseal side, resulting in bone growth.
Which statement is true regarding juvenile idiopathic arthritis?
Serologic tests often detect this disorder.
Joint pain is less severe than in the adult type.
Subluxation and ankylosis of the cervical spine do not occur with disease progression.
The large joints are predominantly affected. ✔✔Juvenile idiopathic arthritis primarily affects the
large joints; the small joints are unaffected.
Which comorbidity may Paget disease exhibit as?
Sinding-Larsen-Johansson syndrome
Osgood-Schlatter disease
Kohler disease
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease ✔✔Paget disease may exhibit as Osgood-Schlatter disease initially.
However, most cases of Osgood-Schlatter are not caused by Paget disease.
Which condition causes chronic, inflammatory, recurring, scarring of the pilosebaceous follicular
ducts?
Acne vulgaris
Lichen planus
Acne rosacea
Hidradenitis suppurativa ✔✔Hidradenitis suppurativa causes chronic, inflammatory, recurring,
scarring of the pilosebaceous follicular ducts.
Which pathogen is found on mucous membranes, on the skin, in the gastrointestinal tract, and in
the vagina?
Candida albicans
Staphylococcus aureus
Group A Streptococcus pyogenes
Tinea pedis ✔✔Candida albicans is a yeast pathogen found commonly in the mouth, on the skin,
in the GI tract, and in the vagina.
Which form of dermatitis is common in infancy and childhood?
Atopic
Follicular eczema
Stasis
Seborrheic ✔✔Atopic dermatitis is the most common rash in infancy and childhood. It is a red,
