1.Asthma is a common disorder that primarily involves the airways. The artical talks about how asthma happens were is happens and how to help it from getting worse."The accuracy of statistics about asthma is limited by confounding factors in patients older than age 35 years, changes in the International Classification of Diseases, the lower confirmation rates at autopsy, and problems related to the interpretation of death certificates (Busse, 1995). "
2"Approximately 80-85% of childhood asthma episodes are associated with prior viral exposure. Prior childhood pneumonia due to infection by respiratory syncytial virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and/or Chlamydia species was found in more than 50% of a small sample of children aged 7-9 years who later had asthma (ALA Denver, 2000). Treatment with antibiotics appropriate for these organisms improves the clinical signs and symptoms of asthma."

1.This artical was about bone infarct refers to ischemic death of the cellular elements of the bone and marrow. Considerable lack of uniformity exists in the use of terminology for bone infarct. Also this artical talks about other bone infarct that happens in the body. Also blood cell play a big part in this.(paragraph 1-2)
2."Estimates of the rate of steroid-induced osteonecrosis range from 2-4% to more than 25%. AVN of the femoral head occurs in 60-75% of patients with femoral neck fractures, 25% of patients with hip dislocations, and 15-40% of patients with a slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Osteonecrosis is a complicating factor in 10-15% of patients with a scaphoid fracture. Osteonecrosis associated with SLE occurs in 5-6% of patients; some estimates are as high as 40%. Changes within the shoulder girdle are reported in 1-3% of patients undergoing radiation therapy for breast carcinoma."

1.The elbow it the most stable joint in the body.But elbow fractions are very commen. They are etheir simpile or copmplex. simple ones are dislocation. Complex are one that have nurve damage.The frequency of elbow dislocations is second to that of dislocations of the shoulder. CT give a picture of the injured elbow.(Paragraph 1-8)
2."Hildebrand et al reports that the annual incidence of elbow dislocations is 6-8 cases per 100,000 population; these dislocations represent 11-28% of all injuries to the elbow. The frequency of elbow dislocations is second to that of dislocations of the shoulder. Posterior dislocations of the elbow are the predominant type and account for 80-90% of all elbow dislocations"

2.The presence of a cardiac tumor upon clinical examination and electrocardiography was first documented in 1934. Until that time, cardiac tumors were only identified postmortem. Angiography was first used to demonstrate an intracavitary cardiac tumor in 1951.1

1. Be live it or not but men get cancer to! About 30% of males with breast cancer, family history is positive for the disease. Male cancer is a lot similer to women. But this iss really rare. Males with Klinefelter syndrome have a risk of breast cancer that is also very commen to women. But the wired thing it that from 1973-1998, and the reasons for this are unclear! the doctermake sure to have x-rays of the pationent to get rid of the cancer.(paregrph one-six)
2."The overwhelming histologic subtype of breast carcinoma in men is ductal or unclassified (93.7%), followed by papillary (2.6%). Infiltrating lobular carcinoma is rare in males, likely due to the rarity of terminal lobules in the male breast. Ductal carcinoma in situ is also less common among male patients with breast cancer, most likely because a higher prevalence of screening detects ductal carcinoma in situ in women. All other types of breast cancer, including medullary, colloid, cystosarcoma phyllodes, and Paget disease, are reported in males. Estrogen receptors are present more commonly in males with breast cancer than in women, occurring in 75-94% of males with cancer."

1. The artical was about that the ankle is the most commen injured areas of the skeleton. however a radiologist plays a key role in the thorough evaluation of complex injuries and the detection of subtle fractures. the shapes of the ankles are very important because is supports the body foot movement. People that have ankle injure cant take the pain so they need x-rays to see how to fix it. (paragraph one)
2."The shapes of the ankle bones and the supporting ligamentous structures are important anatomic features of the ankle area. The distal tibia has a large, flat articular surface (the plafond), a prominent medial malleolus, and a less prominent posterior malleolus. The talar dome is wedge-shaped, wider anteriorly than posteriorly."

1.The artical was about that temporal bone trauma is most likely the because of blunt head injury.When this happens it is because a big force and this can cause fracture, hemorrhage, nerve trauma, vascular damage, or disruption of the middle or inner ear structures. With all of this going on it can cause infection or hearing loss. But it go into a good detail a computed tomography (CT) scanning need to take place.(paregraph one)
2."Patients with temporal bone fracture may present acutely (at the time of trauma) with evidence of basilar skull fracture, such as battle sign, raccoon eyes, or hemotympanum. In addition, they may complain of hearing loss or dizziness."
