I am looking for a disease that sounds like "conviotropic astioplasia"
I heard it on the phone, but was not able to get a spelling.
So far I have found similar words like chondrotrophic, dysplasia,
osteophagia and osteopathia.
I need this ASAP. |

I need this before 17 April 2004 6pm.
All I need is the correct name and a few links, nothing in depth.

Is there any additional information? Maybe the parts of the body this
disease relates to, or anything else? Every little bit could prove
useful.

From the research I did, and asking a fmaily member who knows about
medicine, it seems to be related to bone marrow or cartilage.

The word "osteoplasia" is sometimes used, particularly in countries
outside of the US. "The morphological characteristic of bone
metastasis of prostate cancer is its osteoplasia. In order to
investigate the mechanisms for osteoplastic bone metastasis of
prostatic cancer, an animal model for bone metastasis of human
prostatic cancer cells to human bone was established using NOD-SCID
mice"

"the formation of the bone, resulting from osteoblastic activity" (Not
the most reliable source, to be sure)

Hi sahani,
If you find any of these may be correct, I will include information
about the word/condition for you! Hopefully one of them is correct.
This is a very difficult "puzzle"!
Sincerely,

I'm sorry, but I wrote a paper from what I could, hypothesizing what
the disease was... and I didn't find out what the real one is. I may
in the coming days, but I honeslty do not know. I will not renege on
my promise, however. Thank you again.
