Because hair follicles also contain rapidly dividing cells, _______________ is also a common side effect of chemotherapy.
Bone mineral density (BMD) is best measured using _______________.
The four types of studies that contribute to the medical knowledge base are: epidemiologic, metabolic, animal and ___________
Explanation / Answer
Increased secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates the removal of mineral from the organic matrix of bone in order to raise the serum calcium concentration, but also results in a weakening of bone.
Inadequate calcium intake during growth will result in suboptimal development of peak bone mass and increased risk of osteoporosis in the latter decades of life.
Bone mass peaks in the third decade of life and slowly decreases thereafter.
Three (3) functions of bone are, giving a proper body structure and protection (mechanical function) ,helps in the blood cell production and mineral and fat storage (metabolic functions).
Three causes of malnutrition in patients with cancer are loss of appetite (anorexia), vomiting /nausea and mouth sores.
Because hair follicles also contain rapidly dividing cells, hair loss is also a common side effect of chemotherapy.
Bone mineral density (BMD) is best measured using central DXA test (central dual energy X- ray absorptiometry.
The four types of studies that contribute to the medical knowledge base are: epidemiologic, metabolic, animal and human.
