Answer:Osteoporosis is common disorder of elderly population all over the world as well as in India. The presence of osteoporosis predicts fracture risk. Fragility fracture has marked morbidity as well as mortality. Thus, osteoporosis has marked therapeutic and economic implications. Osteoporosis is defined by low bone mineral density (BMD). The gold-standard method to assess BMD is dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). In India, hologic and lunar machines are most commonly used to measure BMD; these machines have their own normative data from which patients BMD is compared and results are generated. As per recommendations, all postmenopausal women and men above 70 years need BMD estimation other than quite a few other specific indications as well. With increasing life expectancy, increased awareness of osteoporosis, and availability of DXA machines, there is flooding of requests for BMD estimation. In view of all this, it becomes imperative on part of physicians, orthopedicians, rheumatologists, and endocrinologists alike to be fully aware about pitfalls in BMD assessment by DXA and interpretation of BMD reports.

3.

Network-forming collagens (IV, VIII, X) form a pattern in which four molecules assemble via their amino-terminal 7S domain to form tetramers while two molecules assemble via their carboxy-terminal NC1 domain to form NC1 dimers

Por qué el cuerpo humano tiene entre 206 y 208 huesos? Como están compuestos los Miembros inferiores? (Aclarar sus partes).
Darya [45]

Answer:

El cuerpo humano posee 206 huesos (208 huesos teniendo en cuenta huesecillos del oído medio)

Miembros inferiores > fémur, tibia, peroné, tarso, metatarso y falanges.

Explanation:

En adulto se compone de 206 huesos, pero algunos autores sostienen que el cuerpo humano está compuesto por 208 huesos debido a que el hueso del estribo (estapedio) perteneciente a la cadena de huesecillos del oído medio se suele considerar como dos unidades independientes (lenticular y estribo), dando así lugar a un total de 208 huesos. Por otra parte, otros autores también han considerado la posibilidad de que el cuerpo humano está compuesto por 208 huesos debido a variaciones en el número de las vértebras. Los huesos de miembros inferiores se dividen de acuerdo a su localización en huesos del muslo, de la pierna y del pie. El muslo contiene un sólo hueso conocido como fémur (el hueso más largo del cuerpo). La pierna posee dos huesos llamados tibia y peroné los cuales se disponen paralelamente. La tibia es más larga y gruesa que el peroné debido a que la tibia soporta todo el peso de la articulación. Finalmente, el pie se compone del tarso, el metatarso y las falanges (huesos de los dedos). El tarso posee siete huesos (calcáneo, astrágalo, navicular, cuboides y tres cuñas), mientras que el metatarso posee cinco huesos (primero, segundo, tercero, cuarto y quinto). Al igual que en los miembros superiores, el dedo gordo del pie posee dos falanges conocidas como proximal y distal, mientras que los cuatro dedos restantes poseen tres falanges (proximal, media y distal).
