An X-ray demonstrating the characteristic finding of lead poisoning in humans—dense metaphyseal lines: Specialty: Toxicology: Symptoms: Intellectual disability, abdominal pain, constipation, headaches, irritability, memory problems, inability to have children, tingling in the hands and feet [1] [2] Complications: Anemia, seizures, coma [1] [2 ...
Knees have metaphyseal widening and irregularity while hands have brachydactyly (short fingers) and proximal metacarpal rounding. Flat feet are very common. [2] The spine is normal but may have a few irregularities, such as scoliosis. [citation needed]
Craniometaphyseal dysplasia is diagnosed based on clinical and radiographic findings that include hyperostosis. Some things such as cranial base sclerosis and nasal sinuses obstruction can be seen during the beginning of the child's life.
Pseudoachondroplasia. Leg radiographs depicting dysplastic distal femoral and proximal tibial epiphyses, and distal femoral metaphyseal broadening, cupping, irregularities (white arrows) and radiolucent areas especially medially. Note the metaphyseal line of ossification of the proximal tibias (blackarrows) and relative sparing of the tibial ...
Ghosal hematodiaphyseal dysplasia, is a rare, autosomal recessive disease, characterized by diaphyseal dysplasia and metaphyseal dysplasia of the long bones and refractory anemia. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 1 ] It is associated with a deficiency of Thromboxane-A synthase , [ 4 ] which produces Thromboxane A2 .
The first patient in the U.S. was hospitalized with "severe" bird flu. Here's what you should know about symptoms, according to an infectious disease expert.
An X ray demonstrating the characteristic finding of lead poisoning in humans—dense metaphyseal lines. Because of their rich blood supply and vascular stasis, metaphyses of long bones are prone to hematogenous spread of osteomyelitis in children. [4]
