Kidney stones can cause a great deal of pain and may require surgical removal. A single stone the size of a grain of sand can cause such excruciating pain already. There are several factors which could facilitate the formation of kidney stones and hyperparathyroidism is one of them. But why is a hormone concerned mainly with bones involved in the formation of kidney stones? First, we must explore the functions of the parathyroid hormone itself. The Parathyroid Hormone The parathyroid hormone increases calcium and phosphate absorption from the bone. It does this by utilizing two mechanisms. One is a rapid phase in which the osteocytes are activated to pump calcium and phosphate ions from[..]

Celiac disease an autoimmune digestive disease that can appear in both children and adults at any age. The onset of the disease can also be brought on by[..]

What do doctors call this condition? Osteitis deformans What is this condition? Paget's disease is a slow-paced metabolic bone disease characterized by replacement of sound bone with excessive amounts of abnormal bone. The altered bone is fragile and weak, causing painful deformities of both outside shape and internal structure. Paget's disease usually settles in one or several areas of the skeleton (most frequently the lower torso), but occasionally affects many parts of the body. The disease can be fatal, especially when associated with congestive heart failure (widespread disease creates a continuous need for high cardiac output), bone cancer, or giant cell tumors. What causes it?[..]

Bone cancer is rare and accounts for less than 1% of all new tumors. Not all bone tumors are fatal in fact benign (non cancerous) abnormalities are more common than malignant ones. Most are secondary and have been spread from another site. Primary bone cancer which starts in the bone is quite rare constituting less than one per cent of all malignant tumors. They are more common in males, especially in children and adolescents. The most common type of primary cancer is osteosarcoma. This type of carcinoma usually affects young adults. It can affect any bone, but the arms, legs and pelvis are more commonly affected. Other less common forms of primary bone cancer include Ewing sarcoma,[..]

Cancer that begins in the bone is called primary bone cancer. Primary bone cancer is relatively uncommon in comparison with secondary or metastatic cancer (cancer that occurs initially in another organ and then spreads to bone tissue).    Cancer may also develop in associated bone structures, including the marrow and the connective tissues. Some types of bone cancer may spread to other organs. With modern therapies, the outlook for many patients (especially those with primary bone cancer) has improved significantly. Symptoms of Bone Cancer: 1.Pain and tenderness in the affected bones. The pain is usually dull and localized and is often worse at night. Swelling or a noticeable tumor or[..]

Another research paper has just been published that shows how plant based compounds can help to contain the brittle bone disease, osteoporosis. Scientists at the Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Aberdeen, UK have discovered how a non-psychoactive compound in cannabis, cannabidiol helps to maintain bone strength. The endocannabinoid system is a group of cell receptors that are activated by a group of endogenous lipids as well as compounds derived from the cannabis plant. The cannabinoid receptors are involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite control, pain, memory and mood. Recent research has shown that the endocannabinoid system also has a strong[..]

Paget's disease is a chronic bone disorder that is due to irregular breakdown and formation of bone tissue.The disease occurs worldwide, but is more common in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand -- where it is seen in up to 5% of the elderly population. Paget's disease can cause bones to expand and weaken and may result in bone pain, arthritis, bone deformity and fractures. Men and women are approximately equally affected. The prevalence of Paget's disease ranges from 1.5 to 8% depending on age and country of residence. The prevalence of familial Paget's disease (where more than one family member has the disease) ranges from 10 to[..]

Osteoporosis is caused when bones become less dense, lose strength and break more easily due to calcium loss. It can occur at any age but is most common after 60 when one in two women and one in three men will suffer an bone fracture.

Since arthritis is a general medical terminology covering more than hundred different diseases of the joint, the word 'rheumatism' was probably used in the past when referring it to a non-specific joint disease. Be that as it may, one thing is for sure, and that is that, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the body's own immune system attacks itself. Though medical knowledge till now is rather limited about the abnormal immune system response, it has at least been established that cells of the immune system travel freely all over the body through the bloodstream resulting a non-localized disease condition. The manifestation thus starts with one joint first, then spreading[..]

A bursa is a sac-like membrane filled with fluid that lubricates joints. They are generally located between tendons and bones. "Bursitis" is the name for inflammation of these membranes. The most commonly plagued areas for bursitis are the hips, lower knees, elbows, shoulders and your heels. The cause of bursitis can be arthritis, trauma, infection or strain. The role of a bursa is to provide a cushion between moving tissues and bones thus allowing friction-free movement. Sometimes the bursae can become a chronic problem if calcified deposits develop around them. An inflamed bursa can form under the heel or in the back because a tendon is strained and this in turn prevents full[..]

Literally translated, arthritis means "joint inflammation." It refers to more than 100 different diseases that affect the joints. Gout accounts for approximately 5 percent of all cases of arthritis. The disease can progress through four stages: 1. Asymptomatic (without symptoms) hyperuricemia - In this stage, a person has elevated levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia), but no other symptoms. Treatment is usually not required. 2. Acute gout, or acute gouty arthritis - In this stage, hyperuricemia has caused the deposit of uric acid crystals in joint spaces. This leads to a sudden onset of intense pain and swelling in the joints, which also may be warm and very tender. An acute[..]

Aching limbs, back, and hips could be signs of an arthritic condition. Arthritis is a disease that is known to be, in most cases, progressive, that affects the different joints in the body.
