OI
OI is considered this type of disorder involving connective tissue.
What is an inherited disorder?
This organism is the most common cause of osteomyelitis overall.
What is Staphylococcus aureus?
This laboratory test is negative in about 90% of children with JIA.
What is rheumatoid factor (RF)?
CP is caused by injury to this part of the brain.
What is the cerebrum?
This inheritance pattern is associated with DMD.
What is X-linked inheritance?
Even applying this common device too tightly may cause fractures in OI patients.
What is a tourniquet?
This imaging study is the most sensitive and definitive diagnostic test for osteomyelitis.
What is MRI?
This JIA subtype may involve nail pitting and enthesitis.
What is psoriatic JIA?
This neonatal factor significantly increases the risk for CP.
What is low birth weight/prematurity?
These muscles commonly appear enlarged in DMD patients.
What are the calf muscles?
OI primarily affects this major structural protein in connective tissue.
What is collagen?
Symptoms of osteomyelitis often resemble these two other disorders.
What are arthritis and leukemia?
This term describes inflammation where tendons or ligaments insert into bone.
What is enthesitis?
This lack of oxygen can lead to brain injury associated with CP.
What is anoxia?
Death from DMD commonly occurs during this age range.
What is ages 15–30 years?
This medication slows bone reabsorption and allows remodeling.
What is zoledronic acid?
This vascular access device is strongly recommended for long-term therapy.
What is a PICC line?
This chronic process eventually leads to cartilage destruction in JIA.
What is synovial inflammation?
This finding in babies younger than 6 months may suggest CP.
What is head lag?
Muscle biopsy in DMD typically shows this replacing normal muscle tissue.
What is fatty fibrous tissue?
This IV medication helps improve bone density and prevent fractures.
What is pamidronate?
These two antibiotics are commonly used to treat Staph aureus osteomyelitis.
What are nafcillin and clindamycin?
These medications are considered first-line treatment for JIA.
What are NSAIDs?
Persistent tongue thrusting beyond this age may indicate CP.
What is 6 months?
This classic maneuver involves using the arms to “climb up” the body when standing.
What is Gower sign?
