Question
Which of the following diseases is correctly matched to its pathogenesis?Question 11Select one:a.POST-MENOPAUSAL OSTEOPOROSIS - reduced lifetime estrogen exposureb.OSTEOMYELITIS - type III and IV hypersensitivitiesc.RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS - abscess, sequestrum, suppuration, involucrumd.OSTEOMALACIA - Increased vitamin D and therefore increased calcium absorption.e.SENILE OSTEOPOROSIS - Obesity
Solution
The correct match is:
a. POST-MENOPAUSAL OSTEOPOROSIS - reduced lifetime estrogen exposure
Explanation:
a. Post-menopausal osteoporosis is indeed caused by reduced lifetime estrogen exposure. After menopause, the decrease in estrogen levels leads to an increase in bone resorption, and a decrease in bone formation, leading to a net loss of bone.
b. Osteomyelitis is an infection in the bone, not related to type III and IV hypersensitivities.
c. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, not typically characterized by abscess, sequestrum, suppuration, involucrum.
d. Osteomalacia is actually caused by a deficiency in vitamin D, not an increase. This deficiency leads to poor bone mineralization.
e. Senile osteoporosis is not caused by obesity. It is typically due to age-related changes in bone remodeling.
