Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hey Marla, I agree about Ron.. he could be a very good motivational speaker.. He's got the gift of gab, which is a good thing, I can talk one on one like that, but when I get in front of a big crowd, I seem to talk in circles. -- RE: Avascular Necrosis Is Defined As... Ron, I think you’ve missed your calling, you should be a teacher, you could teach the class I am teaching right now, as one of my (oh what the h--- do you call it when you just talk) I can’t seem to remember anything, good thing I have a book and power point to do my “talks”, whatever there calledJ Anyway Ron you could do this, probably better then meJ Sometimes I go by, mb you know what that means, “missing brains” lol J mb From: Neurosarcoidosis [mailto:Neurosarcoidosis ] On Behalf Of J. BlanchettSent: Saturday, June 17, 2006 4:27 PMTo: Neurosarcoidosis Subject: Avascular Necrosis Is Defined As... "Without blood, tissue death" literally.When looking at prefixes, suffixes and roots of words we can see the the following...A means without.Vascular means blood.Necrosis means tissue death.So, avascular necrosis means without a blood supply the tissue will die.For some unknown reason, long term use of prednisone will interrupt the blood supply to certain tissues, like bone tissue and when this happens the surrounding tissue dies because it is not receiving the nourishment from the blood supply to sustain life.I have this in my humeral heads on both sides. "BUT I AIN'T CLAIMING NOTHIN YA HERE?"X-ray revealed the smooth articulating surface of the humerus that is responsible for smooth movement was being damaged. Why, because the blood supply to that bone was diminished so much that it began to die. Blood provide the nutrients to tissues in order for them to live. Without a adequate flow of blood all tissues will eventually die. Just like in the case of brain death. If oxygen and glucose are depleted in the brain's circulatory system, then the brain dies and becomes unresponsive, hint the term brain death.I hope this explains it cleary for you.Brother Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
