Kicking off Rare Disease Day, sharing @Official ReignK_ and her amazing story of how her daughter Willow was diagnosed with rickets. Hypophosphatasia is a rare disease that often presents as rickets in childhood. Often times it's overlooked. I remember when my son Cannon was diagnosed with rickets before doctors realized it was really HPP. A huge thank you to @officialreignk for sharing Willow's story and I hope it helps somebody get one step closer to their HPP diagnosis. #hppawareness #hypophosphatasia #rarediseaseday @hypophosphatasia
Answer: C (Rickets) Here is the explanation: Harrison's sulcus is a groove along the lower ribcage that develops due to chronic diaphragmatic pull against weakened, softened ribs. This occurs in rickets, a metabolic bone disease caused by vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency, or phosphate metabolism disorders, leading to defective mineralisation of growing bones. The softened ribs become deformed under the repeated force of respiration, resulting in the characteristic sulcus. A) Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder causing brittle bones and fractures but does not primarily lead to Harrison's sulcus. B) Hypophosphatasia is a disorder of defective bone mineralization due to alkaline phosphatase deficiency, but rib deformities are less specific. D) Paget's disease is a disorder of excessive bone remodeling, seen in adults rather than newborns. #medicalnotes #medicine #trending
Rickets, scientific nomenclature: rachitis (from Greek ῥαχίτης rhakhítēs,[6] meaning 'in or of the spine'), is a condition that results in weak or soft bones in children and may have either dietary deficiency or genetic causes.[2] Symptoms include bowed legs, stunted growth, bone pain, large forehead, and trouble sleeping.[2][3] Complications may include bone deformities, bone pseudofractures and fractures, muscle spasms, or an abnormally curved spine.[2][3] The analogous condition in adults is osteomalacia. The most common cause of rickets is a vitamin D deficiency, although hereditary genetic forms also exist.[2] This can result from eating a diet without enough vitamin D, dark skin, too little sun exposure, exclusive breastfeeding without vitamin D supplementation, celiac disease, and certain genetic conditions.[2][3] Other factors may include not enough calcium or phosphorus.[4][5] The underlying mechanism involves insufficient calcification of the growth plate.[7] Diagnosis is generally based on blood tests finding a low calcium, low phosphorus, and a high alkaline phosphatase together with X-rays.[2] Prevention for exclusively breastfed babies is vitamin D supplements.[5] Otherwise, treatment depends on the underlying cause.[2] If due to a lack of vitamin D, treatment is usually with vitamin D and calcium.[2] This generally results in improvements within a few weeks.[2] Bone deformities may also improve over time.[5] Occasionally surgery may be performed to correct bone deformities.[8][3] Genetic forms of the disease typically require specialized treatment.[5] #handicap #disabilities #rickets #ricket #rachitisme #hasbulla #hasbullah #ufc #ufcrussia #mma #mmafighter #russia
Godiva, our kitten with rickets, is doing much better now. We wanted to tell you all her story here on TT. She is pretty much pain-free and fully mobile now. Although she cannot jump or climb, she can run with full force and speed! She’s currently being administered gabapentin and calcitriol. Anyone interested in giving her a chance at living the VIP life in a forever home? Her cuddles, purrs, and affectionate eyes will have you melting! #kitten #kittens #kittensoftiktok #sick #sickkitten #adopt #adoptme #adoption #kittenadoption #adoptdontshop #adoptdontshop🐾 #rickets #vet #veterinarian #vetmed
