	eMedicine - Skeletal Dysplasia : Article by Harold Chen, MD, MS, FAAP, FACMG
		Skeletal dysplasias are a heterogeneous group of more than 200 disorders characterized by abnormalities of cartilage and bone growth resulting in abnormal shape and size of the skeleton and disproportion of the long bones, spine, and head.
		Skeletal dysplasia is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by abnormalities of cartilage and bone growth.
		Skeletal complications: Instability of the C1-C2 cervical spine leading to spinal cord compression or nerve damage may be observed in patients with several types of chondrodystrophy, such as achondroplasia, SED congenita, and Morquio syndrome.

	Your Multi-Talented Muscles
		Skeletal muscles are held to the bones with the help of tendons (say: ten-duns).
		When it comes to building cardiac and skeletal muscle, aerobic (say: air-oh-bick) exercise is where it's at.
		You can be active and have more fun for a longer time when your skeletal muscles are in shape - you're able to tug harder during tug of war and kick harder in karate.

	SKELETAL DISEASES OF GROWING DOGS
		The vast majority of developmental skeletal disorders diagnosed in veterinary practice occur in large and giant breeds and are associated with excess (i.e., inappropriate) intake of a commercial diet and/or supplementation.
		Rapid velocity of growth in large and giant breeds increases their risk of skeletal disease.(7,13) Excess energy per se in an otherwise balanced diet is not a direct contributor to skeletal disease in the growing dog(8,19); the link appears to occur when energy contributes to rapid growth rates and excessive body weight.
		A study by Nap and coworkers reported on the role of protein in disturbances of skeletal development(21,22): Three groups of Great Dane puppies were fed three levels of protein (31.6%, 23.1%, and 14.6% on a dry matter basis) in an isoenergetic dry dog food from 7 weeks through 18 weeks of age.

	Skeletal fluorosis is a crippling bone disease caused by fluoride
		Skeletal fluorosis is characterized by hyperostosis, osteopetrosis, and osteoporosis (Obel, 1971; Shupe, 1980).
		Advanced stages of skeletal fluorosis are associated with intakes of fluoride ranging from 20 to 80 mg/day for 10 or more years (Hodge and Smith 1977, WHO 1984)." The quotes may be accurate but the statements are false.
		The difficulties in diagnosing skeletal fluorosis result from the questionable sensitivity of the x-ray techniques and from the non-specificity of the associated symptoms.

	Skeletal muscle Summary
		Skeletal muscles are used to facilitate movement, by applying force to bones and joints; via contraction.
		Skeletal muscles usually have one end (the "origin") attached to a relatively stationary bone, (such as the scapula) and the other end (the "insertion") is attached across a joint, to another bone (such as the humerus).
		Skeletal muscle cells are stimulated by acetylcholine, which is released at neuromuscular junctions by motor neurons.

	Skeletal Fluorosis
		Skeletal fluorosis: Early in the development of fluorotic changes in the skeleton, the patients often complain of a vague discomfort and paresthesiae in the limbs and the trunk.
		Neurological manifestations in skeletal fluorosis are secondary to compressive myelopathy.
		In early stages of skeletal fluorosis patients complain of arthritic symptoms, which have to be differentiated from those caused by such diseases as rheumatoid and ankylosing spondylitis.

	Skeletal Dysplasia Information on Healthline
		Skeletal dysplasias are a group of congenital abnormalities of the bone and cartilage that are characterized by short stature.
		Skeletal dysplasia, sometimes called dwarfism, is a disorder of short stature defined as height that is three or more standard deviations below the mean height for age, race, and gender.
		Skeletal dysplasia refers to a group of disorders characterized by abnormalities of bone and cartilage with similar modes of transmission: autosomal dominant and recessive and X-linked dominant and recessive.

	Fluorides and Fluoridation - Skeletal Fluorosis
		Skeletal fluorosis is a well-known public health problem in several naturally fluoridated areas of the world.
		Endemic bent knee is observed primarily in young and adolescent boys and is characterized by: simultaneous osteomalacia; osteosclerosis; and osteoporosis with secondary hyperparathyroidism.
		Production of skeletal fluorosis is influenced not only by the fluoride content of the water supplies, but also by that of food and beverages, by industrial gaseous or particulate emissions of fluoride, by the calcium and magnesium intake, and by the efficiency of the kidney function.

		Skeletal dysplasias are genetic disorders of skeletal growth affecting bones and cartilage.

	Skeletal fluorosis: Recent reports from India
		Skeletal fluorosis is a bone disease caused by excessive consumption of fluoride.
		Common causes of fluorosis include: inhalation of fluoride dusts/fumes by workers in industry, use of coal as an indoor fuel source (a common practice in China), and consumption of fluoride from drinking water.
		In the United States, an average of 1 ppm of fluoride is purposely added to water supplies for water fluoridation, while the Maximum Contaminant Level (as established by the US Environmental Protection Agency) is 4 ppm.

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Recurrence in skeletal muscle from squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix: a case ...
		The incidence of skeletal muscle metastases is reported to be less than 1% of metastases of haematogenous origin, despite the fact that skeletal muscle accounts for nearly 50% of the total body weight and is characterized by a rich blood supply [1].
		As shown in Table 1, skeletal muscle involvement from cervical carcinoma is very rare, and usually documented in the context of an already far advanced stage tumor or metastatic disease [6-8], or in severely immunocompromised patients, as occurs in patients with AIDS [3,4].
		Given the very rare occurrence of skeletal muscle metastasis, there are no specific guidelines on the therapeutic options, which include radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery according to the clinical setting: indeed, the real benefit of these approaches remains questionable given the very poor prognosis of these patients.

	Skeletal Muscle (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Skeletal muscle is an area of stem cells study that was previously ignored by stem cell biologists.
		Skeletal muscle is originally derived from the mesoderm, and is made up of extremely specialized myofibers.
		(Take a look at some skeletal muscle) (image from http://www.mds.qmw.ac.uk/biomed/kb/microanatomy/muscle_nerve/) This functional specialization of skeletal muscle is achieved through the process of terminal differentiation, in which cells withdraw from the cell cycle and specific genes are established (and expressed) to define cell identification and function.

		Pathologies of the skeletal tissues may be caused by genetric mutations (eg osteogenesis imperfecta, amelogenesis imperfecta), systemic factors during tissue developmental (eg fluorosis), dissolution of mature skeletal mineral (eg osteoporosis, dental cries, dental erosion) or mechanical failure due to wear (osteoarthritis).
		Dental caries is a costly disease of the skeletal tissues which affects almost the entire population.
		Diseases of the skeletal tissues are both costly to treat and can significantly affect the quality of life, including in the case of osteoporosis, directly leading to increased morbidity.
