Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Musculoskeletal Abnormalities:

1.	Gadolinium DTPA (Magnevist)FDA Link 05/01/1989 - "In patients examined for orbital, pituitary, and musculoskeletal abnormalities, the Gd-DTPA-CSI technique enabled improved detection and finer anatomic staging of lesions. "
2.	CosmeticsIBA 01/01/2012 - "Sprengel's deformity can be associated with other musculoskeletal abnormalities and it is much more than a cosmetic problem." 01/01/2013 - "Although rare, Sprengel's deformity can be associated with other musculoskeletal abnormalities including lumbar spina bifida and comprehensive neurological examination should not be ignored as it is much more than a cosmetic problem."
3.	Kabuki syndromeIBA 08/01/2015 - "Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare multiple congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by distinctive facial features, global developmental delay, intellectual disability and cardiovascular and musculoskeletal abnormalities. " 01/01/1995 - "(Although the name Kabuki Make-up syndrome has been used to identify this condition, the authors recommend that the term "make-up" be deleted from the designation as it has caused problems with some of the families.) Clinical features include a characteristic facies, developmental delay, musculoskeletal abnormalities, and dermatoglyphic differences. "
4.	UtrophinIBA 03/01/2013 - "Dystrophin and utrophin "double knockout" dystrophic mice exhibit a spectrum of degenerative musculoskeletal abnormalities."
5.	DiamondIBA 03/01/1985 - "Musculoskeletal abnormalities (webbed neck, Sprengel's and Klippel-Feil deformities, and hand abnormalities) were similar to those seen in the congenital form of red cell aplasia (Diamond-Blackfan syndrome). "
6.	DystrophinIBA 03/01/2013 - "Dystrophin and utrophin "double knockout" dystrophic mice exhibit a spectrum of degenerative musculoskeletal abnormalities."
7.	Vitamin D FDA LinkGeneric 04/01/2004 - "Aggressive and early alkali treatment with supplementation of phosphate and Vitamin D restored the patient's metabolic and musculoskeletal abnormalities."
8.	Growth Hormone (Somatotropin)IBA 01/01/1991 - "Late sequelae included musculoskeletal abnormalities (23 children), growth hormone deficiency (11), second tumors (9), learning difficulties (7), puberty and fertility problems (4), and hypothyroidism (4). "
9.	Serotonin (5 Hydroxytryptamine)IBA 12/01/2001 - "For some cases with migraine features, presumed mechanisms include a neurogenic inflammatory cascade, vascular reactivity, and serotonin, whereas for other cases, mechanisms may include pericranial muscle tenderness or musculoskeletal abnormalities, as noted recently for adults. "
10.	Homovanillic AcidIBA 04/01/2003 - "Other clinical signs included cardiac abnormalities (8), musculoskeletal abnormalities (10), ophthalmological manifestations (5), increased urinary vanillymandelic acid (VMA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) (3), rhabdomyosarcoma (1), laryngomalacia (1), and cryptorchidism (1). "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Stem Cell Transplantation 06/01/2011 - "Stem cell transplantation does not halt the progression of a large range of disabling musculoskeletal abnormalities in Hurler's disease. "
2.	Transplants (Transplant) 03/01/2008 - "Hematopoietic stem cell transplant increases life expectancy, but the effects on associated musculoskeletal abnormalities remains unclear, and long-term data are limited. "
3.	Organ Transplantation 01/01/1995 - "Musculoskeletal abnormalities have rarely been reported after major organ transplantation. "
4.	Urinary Diversion (Ileal Conduit) 01/01/1979 - "In 2 cases described herein and featuring long-standing incontinence and recurrent infections, the concomittant musculoskeletal abnormalities had been treated for years, while the urinary tract condition had been largely neglected until urinary diversion or unilateral nephrectomy were required."
5.	Transplantation (Transplant Recipients) 09/01/1995 - "These results indicate the clinical possibility of correcting congenital musculoskeletal abnormalities in the future by in utero transplantation of epiphyses."
