Jigsaw Puzzle : Osteoporotic bone, SEM
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Osteoporotic bone, SEM
Osteoporotic bone. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of fractured bone tissue from a patient suffering from osteoporosis (brittle bone disease). Osteoporosis causes a reduction in overall bone mass and an increase in the bones porosity, making it more brittle and likely to fracture. It commonly affects the elderly and post-menopausal women, who experience a decrease in levels of the hormone oestrogen. It may also develop after injury or infection. Oestrogen repl- acements and drugs that slow the rate of bone loss are used to treat the disease. This is cancellous or spongy bone tissue from the centre of a long bone. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of osteoporotic bone, providing a glimpse into the world of brittle bone disease. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals fractured bone tissue from a patient suffering from osteoporosis, a condition characterized by reduced overall bone mass and increased porosity. Osteoporosis primarily affects elderly individuals and post-menopausal women due to decreased levels of the hormone estrogen. However, it can also develop as a result of injury or infection. The porous nature of the bones makes them more fragile and prone to fractures, highlighting the severity of this disorder. In medical practice, treatments for osteoporosis include estrogen replacements and medications that slow down bone loss. This image serves as a powerful tool in understanding the disease's impact on skeletal health. The magnified image focuses on cancellous or spongy bone tissue found at the center of long bones. Its unknown magnification allows us to appreciate its delicate structure while emphasizing how even microscopic changes can have significant consequences for overall health. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this visually stunning representation that combines artistry with scientific precision. It offers valuable insights into both medical research and patient care related to osteoporosis—a reminder that knowledge is key in combating such conditions affecting millions worldwide.
