This summary should cover Musculoskeletal disorders: 1. Osteoporosis and 2. Myasthenia Gravis
Osteoporosis
Etiology: Risk factors that predispose to osteoporosis
Pathogenesis: Molecular mechanisms involved in the development of osteoporosis
Clinical Picture: Signs& symptoms of osteoporosis as well as sequelae and complications
Diagnosis& Screening: DEXA scan
Pathophysiologic rational of treatment: and how to minimize the risk of falls.
Myasthenia Gravis
Etiology: Autoimmune disorder of the acetyl choline receptors at the neuromuscular junction
Pathogenesis: Immunological mechanisms involved in the development of this disorder
Clinical Picture: Signs and symptoms of the condition. Myasthenic crises and cholinergic crisis.
Diagnosis: Edrophonium Test
Pathophysiologic rationale of treatment: The reason for using anticholinesterases
