A 55-year-old executive assistant presents to your office for evaluation of pain in her wrist. She states that the pain has been present daily. She has taken OTC analgesics for the pain, which seem to help. She denies fever, chills, or rashes. On physical examination, she has pain and tenderness over the right wrist but not the left. She has a hard dorsolateral nodule on the DIP joint of her right middle finger. The MCP joints are normal. What is your most likely diagnosis?A. Gouty arthritisB. Rheumatoid arthritisC. Systemic lupus erythematosusD. Osteoarthritis

ANSWER: OSTEOARTHRITIS

EXPLANATION:

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis (i.e inflammation of one or more joints causing stiffness and pain). It affects more than 30millions people worldwide.

Moreover, It occurs over a period of time, where the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones (articulated at the joint) wears down.

Hence, it can damage any joint (including in the hands, spine, hips, and knees).

However, this medication, physiotherapy and in some cases surgery (joint replacement) can help reduce pain and stiffness of the joint.

Thus, the 55-year-old executive assistant is diagnosed for Osteoarthritis, after evaluating pain in her wrist. This is presumably caused by the fact that she is ageing and the nature of her work.

minerals contribute to our overall health because they your body grow, develop, and stay healthy. our bodies use minerals to us function throughout the day.tromhey us build strong bones, so we can do more things in life. with certain minerals, they can you maintain a normal heartbeat!

though, as as minerals are for us, they can also be very dangerous if one were to consume too many. if you were to take too much minerals, or even vitamins, you could experience nausea and diarrhea. all trace minerals can be very toxxic at high levels of consumption. taking too much of some minerals will result in hair loss! but this goes with almost everything in life, taking too much of something that is good, will eventually be bad for you.

my intake in minerals was normal. there really is no need to improve, i am healthy, and i am experiencing no nausea or diarrhea. i am as healthy as a bee. ☺ (sorry that i cannot you with the mineral intake)

what i have learned so far is that taking too much something can be very bad for you. taking too many minerals or vitamins, or anything healthy in general, can result in nausea and diarrhea, as well as hair loss. it would be a good idea to track what you put into your body, good or bad.
