Running head: FIBROMYLGIA Gail A. Strong Fibromyalgia COUN 7361 Medical Aspects of Disability Professor Chyrle Cantrell May 4, 2011 Abstract Fibromyalgia is one of the most common chronic pain conditions. The disorder affects an estimated 10 million people in the U.S. and an estimated 3-6% of the world population. While men and children are affected by fibromyalgia, it is most prevalent in women. It can occur independently or can be associated with another disease, such as systemic lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
Mesothelioma Mesothelioma is an asbestos caused cancer, in which asbestos enters the lungs in microscopic particles, and stay dormant in the lungs from ten to fifty years. Even though most Mesothelioma cancers take place in the lungs, it is not limited to a certain area. After all; it is a malignant cancer. Because of mesothelioma’s great latency period, treating mesothelioma is difficult, but there is hope in recent research and clinical trials. Since symptoms of Mesothelioma, such as lower back pain or side chest pain and there are frequent reports of shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing, or have a persistent cough, fever, weight loss or fatigue, take so long to show, most people are diagnosed between the ages of fifty and seventy.
• Although lupus can strike men and women of all ages, 90 percent of individuals diagnosed with the disease are women. Most people will develop lupus between the ages of 15-44. • Systemic lupus accounts for approximately 70 percent of all cases of lupus. In approximately half of these cases, a major organ, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys or brain, will be affected. Cutaneous lupus (affecting only the skin) accounts for approximately 10 percent of all lupus cases.
About 13% of women and 10% of men aged 60 and older have symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. Almost 1 in 2 people may develop knee osteoarthritis by the age of 85. Osteoarthritis is more commonly found in the right knee on men, but is more evenly distributed in the knees of women. Only about 15% of patients with knee osteoarthritis complain of any knee pain. When the diagnosis is based on clinical signs and symptoms alone, the prevalence among adults is found to be much lower.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Composition II Week 2 Individual Work By Bobby Pearson February 2, 2013 Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a disease that causes the wasting away of the leg and pelvic muscles. The disease usually affects boys between the ages of three and five. There are nine different types of muscular dystrophy. Duchenne is one of the most common forms. Becker Muscular Dystrophy is a milder form of Duchenne; it has a later age onset, some as late as 40 to 50 years of age and a slower clinical progression (DMD, 2009).
In the United States, about 1,050 children and adolescents are diagnosed with carcinomas each year. Of these, about 350 (35.5 percent) are thyroid carcinomas and 300-350 (30.9 percent) are melanomas. Adrenocortical carcinomas (1.3 percent), nasopharyngeal carcinomas (4.5 percent), other skin carcinomas (0.5 percent), along with other and unspecified (27.3 percent) make up the rest. All of the carcinomas represent only 9 percent of all cancers in children. Nearly 75 percent (2,047) of the childhood carcinomas occur in adolescents (15-19 years old), including 75 percent of the thyroid carcinomas, 80 percent of the melanomas, 63 percent of the nasopharyngeal carcinomas, and 74 percent of the other and unspecified carcinomas.
Pain can also occur in the bones. It is estimated that 2% of white adults over the age of 55 have Paget’s disease. This figures rises to 8% for white people who are over the age of 80. Additionally, men are twice as likely as women to have the disease. What are the causes of Paget’s disease?
