HIP DISEASE [11 records]

Record 1 2025-02-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hygiene and Health
CONT

Body roundness index (BRI) is [an] anthropometric index developed to predict both body fat and the percentage of visceral adipose tissue.

CONT

Body roundness index(BRI) might be a more accurate measurement than body mass index(BMI) for predicting weight-related health risks... BMI has long been the standard to classify a person's body weight as too low, normal, overweight, or obese. While BMI often reflects a person's body fat amount, it doesn’t account for fat distribution or the amount of muscle mass.... BRI addresses these shortcomings by focusing on a person's height, waist size, and hip size. By taking weight out of the equation, BRI provides a better indicator of how much belly fat(visceral fat) surrounds the organs inside the abdomen. High amounts of belly fat are linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers.

Subject field(s)
  • Bones and Joints
CONT

There are several well known risk factors for osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures such as age, sex, low body weight, a low bone mineral density, a past fragility fracture, having a parent who had a hip fracture and a past history of fall(s). Less well known are which medications and medical conditions can increase the risk of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures either by causing more thinning of bones, by increasing the risk of falls or both. Osteoporosis that results from having another disease or condition or from the treatment of another condition is called secondary osteoporosis.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Os et articulations
CONT

Il y a plusieurs facteurs de risque bien connus associés à l’ostéoporose et aux fractures ostéoporotiques, tels que l’âge, le sexe, une densité minérale osseuse basse et avoir subi une fracture dans le passé. Moins connus sont les médicaments et les conditions médicales qui peuvent augmenter le risque d’ostéoporose et fractures ostéoporotiques soit en provoquant l’amincissement des os, en augmentant le risque de chutes, ou les deux. L’ostéoporose qui survient suite à une autre maladie ou condition ou le traitement d’une autre maladie ou condition est appelé ostéoporose secondaire.

Record 3 2014-10-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medication
CONT

Etidronate is used to treat a certain type of bone disease called Paget's disease. This disease weakens and deforms bones. Etidronate works by slowing bone loss, helping to keep your bones strong and less likely to break. It also helps reduce bone pain from this disease. This medication belongs to a class of drugs called bisphosphonates. Etidronate is also used to prevent or treat bone problems that may occur after hip replacement surgery or spinal cord injury.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Médicaments
CONT

L'étidronate appartient à la classe de médicaments appelés bisphosphonates. L'étidronate et le carbonate de calcium sont utilisés en combinaison pour traiter et prévenir l'ostéoporose chez les femmes postménopausées.

DEF

A widening of the soft-tissue density of the obturator muscle as seen on a roentgenogram of the pelvis or hip, usually indicative of disease of the hip joint.

OBS

English

Subject field(s)
  • Symptoms (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
DEF

Deviation of the pelvis from the horizontal in the frontal plane. Fixed pelvic obliquity can be attributable to contractures either above or below the pelvis.

CONT

Examination of the hip begins by observing the patient's stance and gait. The patient should stand in front of the examiner so that the anterior iliac spines are visible. If pelvic tilt or obliquity is present, it may be related to a structural scoliosis, anatomic leg length discrepancy, or hip disease.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Symptômes (Médecine)
  • Appareil locomoteur (Médecine)
DEF

Déséquilibre du bassin dans le plan frontal dont la cause peut être une inégalité de longueur des membres inférieurs, une paralysie ou une rétraction des muscles de la ceinture pelvienne, ou une subluxation ou une luxation paralytique de la hanche. Ce déséquilibre est souvent accompagné d'une hyperlordose quand la rétraction des fléchisseurs de la hanche est prédominante. On distingue dans ces obliquités du bassin des causes inférieures et des causes supérieures.
