Skulls - Blog Posts

I feel so freakin' nostalgic right now Q_Q (Resonance playing~)

So sorry i haven’t posted in a hot minute— it’s cuz of a new job i got and i forgor my ipad so i bought a sketchbook and glitter glue and did some practice stuff

Cubones like the pokemon with the skull over it's face and it hits things with it's bone. And in any case they grow with their mothers skull on them. So their should be ones with their grandmother's skull over their mothers. So double the skulls. And in any case it's late.

I did a thing

should I let him out🤔🤔

inspo 😍😍👇

i love bird skulls <3

When your potion turns out to be poison. 3 bottles equals 3 poisoned spirits can you find them all ;) ?

Kuromi!

So while in between big projects, while juggling some smaller projects to get them done, I've gone and done my idea I've had for a few weeks

Happy Hump day!!

Weee here’s some older art 🤌

I was commissioned to create the guild crest for some friends of mine a while back, and I'm super proud of the results! I honestly think I really outdid myself with this one. <3

Older art but I think it’s cool

Osteoporosis in Aging

Introduction

Osteoporosis, a progressive skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mass and deteriorating bone quality, poses significant health challenges, especially among the aging population. This discussion involves dynamics of bone health, the factors contributing to osteoporosis, and proactive measures individuals can adopt to protect and strengthen their bones as they age.

1.Understanding Bone Structure and Dynamics

Bones, seemingly solid, have an internal honeycomb-like structure. This structural framework undergoes constant remodeling, with cells building new bone tissue while others dissolve existing bone to release essential minerals. As individuals age, this delicate balance shifts, resulting in a gradual loss of bone density and an increased susceptibility to fractures.

2.Prevalence and Impact of Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a widespread concern, affecting over 10 million people nationwide. Its consequences, particularly in Adults, extend beyond fractures, leading to a variety of issues such as disability and loss of dependence. The vulnerability of specific areas, including the;

hips, wrists, and spine, underscores the importance of understanding and addressing this condition.

3.Hormonal Influence and Screening

Estrogen, a crucial hormone, plays a major role in bone formation and regeneration. Postmenopausal women, experiencing a decline in estrogen levels, face a high risk of an increased bone loss. Regular screening, typically recommended for women aged 65 and older, involves non-invasive tests like;

Bone density scan(DXA), measuring bone mineral density. A total score of -2.5 or lower is indicative of osteoporosis.

4.Nutritional Factors

The role of nutrition in maintaining bone health cannot be overstated. Calcium, an essential mineral for bone strength and formation, is obtainable from various dietary sources such as, dairy products and leafy greens. Vitamin D, facilitating calcium absorption, becomes increasingly critical with age. This emphasizes the importance of adequate nutrient intake, either through dietary means or supplements. Specific daily calcium requirements for women over 50 and men over 70 are outlined.

5.Exercise as a Protective Measure

Physical activity, especially weight-bearing exercises like jogging, walking, tennis, and dancing, significantly contributes to bone health. These exercises serve as signals to bone cells, promoting density and reducing the risk of fractures. Conversely, lifestyle choices such as smoking and heavy drinking weaken bones, while certain medications may increase the risk of osteoporosis.

Medical Interventions and Future Prospects

Medical interventions, including medications like bisphosphonates, are commonly prescribed to combat bone loss. Ongoing research is exploring drugs aimed at stimulating bone growth, with parathyroid hormone being a current option. The article discusses the potential of these interventions and highlights the importance of timely medical advice and interventions, even after an osteoporosis diagnosis, to positively impact bone health.

Fall Prevention and Fracture Avoidance

More than 2 million fragility fractures occur annually due to falls, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to bone health. Combining efforts to enhance bone strength with fall prevention strategies is crucial. Factors such as balance, environmental hazards, and the type of fall play significant roles in fracture risk. The discussion underscores the effectiveness of exercises that improve balance and coordination, such as slow intentional movement in preventing fractures.

Conclusion

Maintaining optimal bone health is a course that involves a combination of nutrition, exercise, and proactive healthcare measures. Given the critical impact of osteoporosis on aging populations, raising awareness and implementing early intervention strategies are paramount. This comprehensive approach empowers individuals to foresee the risks associated with osteoporosis, ensuring a resilient and active lifestyle in their later years. The discussion concludes by encouraging individuals concerned about their bone health to engage or consult with their healthcare specialists, pressing on the importance of personalized guidance and bone density testing for proactive management.
