Fracture Osteoporosis: Dislocation
Fracture Osteoporosis: Dislocation
Although
usually a result of trauma, a fracture can be the
result of an acquired disease of bone, such
as osteoporosis, or of abnormal formation of bone
in a congenital disease of bone, such as
osteogenesis imperfecta ('brittle bone disease').
Fractures are classified according to their character
and location (for example, greenstick fracture of
the radius).
Dislocation
Displacement of a bone from a joint; called also l
uxation. The most common ones involve a finger
, thumb, shoulder, or hip;less common are those o
f the mandible, elbow, or knee. Symptoms includ
e loss of motion, temporary paralysis of the joint,
pain, swelling, and sometimes shock. Dislocation
s are usually caused by a blow or fall, although u
nusual physical effort mayalso cause one.
Strain (biology), variants of plants, viruses or bacteria; or an inbred animal used for
experimental purposes
Strain (chemistry), a chemical stress of a
molecule
Strain (injury), an injury to a muscle (tear
in tendon) in which the muscle fibers tear as a
result of over-stretching
strain (mechanics), a geometrical measure
of deformation representing the relative
displacement between particles in a material
body
Filtration, separating solids from fluids
(liquids or gases) by interposing a medium
through which only the fluid can pass
Percolation, the movement and filtering
of fluids through porous material
Heat exhaustion is a heat-related illness that can occur after
you've been exposed to high temperatures, and it often is
accompanied by dehydration. There are two types of heat
exhaustion: Water depletion. Signs include excessive thirst,
weakness, headache, and loss of consciousness. Salt depletion.
