treat. and prognosis

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Treatment varies according to the nature and severity of the spinal curvature, the age of onset, and the underlying cause of the disorder. | Lordosis, Kyphosis, Scoliosis |
| Treatment includes bed rest, parenterally administered antibiotics often suffice, surgical drainage, and immobilization of affected part. | Osteomyelitis |
| Treatment includes immobilization, open or closed reduction, analgesics, or muscle relaxants. | Fractures |
| Treatment may include physical therapy, exercise, back braces, metal rods, and analgesics. | Lordosis, Kyphosis, Scoliosis |
| Healing generally occurs within 2 to 4 weeks | Sprains and Strains |
| Chronic form has a poor prognosis. Usually suffer a fair amount of pain and require lengthy hospitalization. | Osteomyelitis |
| Treatment includes immediate elevation and resting the injured part, cold compresses,immobilization, analgesics, and possibly surgical repair. | Sprains and Strains |
| Prognosis depends on severity and age of the individual. Complications may include embolism, infection, delayed union or nonunion, and resulting from immobilization. | Fractures |
| Prognosis depends on the underlying cause of the particular disease, how early it is detected, and whether it responds to treatment. | Lordosis, Kyphosis, and Scoliosis |
| Congestive heart failure and other cardiopulmonary difficulties may arise as complications of spinal deformities. | Lordosis, Kyphosis, and Scoliosis |
| No known treatment is successful. | Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy |
| Prognosis is cariable. Half of affected recover within 5 years and can discontiue therapy. Generally, the prognosis worsens with age. | Polymyositis |
| Treatment is symptomatic and supportive; anticholinesterase drugs are effective against fatigue and muscle weakness but become less progressive as disease progresses. | Myasthenia Gravis |
| Generally unpredictable and progressive with some degree of consequent deformity that requires lifelong treatment. | Rheumatoid Arthritis |
| High dose of corticosteroid drugs, Cytotoxic drugs, bed rest, physiotherapy, and physical rehabilitation. | Polymyositis |
| Orthopedic appliances, exercise, physical therapy, and surgery are procedures to correct or preserve this disease. | Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy |
| Primary objectives are to reduce inflammation and pain, preserve joint function, and prebvent joint deformit. Rest, salicylates, physical therapy, and surgical repair may also be necessary. | Rheumatoid Arthritis |
| Prognosis is poor for a child. Usually confined to a wheelchair by the ages of 9-12. Within 10-15 years of onset, death occurs. | Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy |
| Usually lifelong condition with periodic remissions, exacerbations, and day to day fluctuations. | Myasthenia Gravis |
