  • http://understandinghpp.com/impact-of-hpp Impact of Hypophosphatasia (HPP) overview - Hypophosphatasia is characterized by a loss-of-function mutation in the ALPL gene, resulting in a deficiency of the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme. Early mortality for infants, life-threatening consequences for adults.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/mechanism-of-disease Mechanism of disease - Patients with hypophosphatasia have low alkaline phosphatase activity levels, which lead to increased PPi, an inhibitor of hydroxyapatite crystal formation
  • http://understandinghpp.com/consequences-at-all-ages Devastating Consequences of HPP at any age - Patients with hypophosphatasia suffer debilitating skeletal and systemic sequelae resulting in life-threatening outcomes. Learn more.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/systemic Systemic Consequences of HPP - Hypophosphatasia patients suffer debilitating skeletal and other systemic sequelae (respiratory, neurologic, renal, muscular, rheumatologic) resulting in life-limiting or life-threatening outcomes. Learn more.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/skeletal Skeletal sequelae - Hypophosphatasia patients suffer debilitating skeletal sequelae resulting in life-limiting or life-threatening outcomes. Learn more.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/respiratory Respiratory sequelae - Hypophosphatasia patients suffer debilitating respiratory sequelae resulting in life-limiting or life-threatening outcomes. Learn more.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/neurologic Neurologic sequelae - Hypophosphatasia patients suffer neurologic manifestations that result in life-limiting or life-threatening outcomes. Learn more.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/renal Renal sequelae - Hypophosphatasia patients suffer profound renal sequelae that result in life-limiting or life-threatening outcomes. Learn more.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/muscular-rheumatologic Muscular/Rheumatologic manifestations - Hypophosphatasia patients suffer progressive muscular and rheumatologic manifestations that can debilitate them and necessitate use of assistive devices. Learn more.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/diagnosing-hpp Diagnosis of hypophosphatasia (HPP) - Is hypophosphatasia in your practice? When to suspect. Avoid misdiagnosis with a common blood test for low serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/importance-of-accurate-diagnosis Critical importance of early and accurate early diagnosis - Early and accurate diagnosis is critical to avoid preventable morbidities and early mortality.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/common-misdiagnoses Common Misdiagnoses - Avoid common misdiagnosis, understand the overlap of HPP with other common skeletal disorders, nutritional rickets, osteomalacia, osteogenesis imperfecta, osteoarthritis, chondrodysplasia, hypophosphatemia
  • http://understandinghpp.com/diagnostic-pathway Diagnostic Pathway - Hypophosphatasia diagnosis requires a combination of clinical and laboratory tests that should initiate suspicion. Learn more about the diagnostic pathway.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/age-adjusted-alp Age-adjusted ALP - Low alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is the underlying cause of hypophosphatasia (HPP). A widely available blood test can detect low ALP.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/management Management - With hypophosphatasia, effective disease management requires unique clinical, surgical, and counseling approaches
  • http://understandinghpp.com/management-strategies Management strategies - Currently, no medical therapy is available for hypophosphatasia. Disease management focuses on supportive therapy to minimize sequelae.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/surgical-repair Surgical repair - Surgical involvement may be necessary for hypophosphatasia patients. However, official orthopedic guidelines do not exist.
  • http://understandinghpp.com/resources Resources - Access online clinical and patient resources to assist you and your staff in the management of hypophosphatasia.

  • Samantha - Sleep better

    I bought this for my husband to stop his noisy snoring and open mouth at nighttime! I also wanted to get some sleep myself. When he wears it, it works. He sleeps better than before. If you are looking for a snoring solution because of open mouth then you can give it a try.

  • J. Joseph - Pain cream

    I received a FREE product from PINCHme. I received a small plastic 0.05oz sample card of Livrelief from Pinchme. It is a small blue and white card that you snap in two to squeeze out the pain relief cream inside. The information on the card says that it gets to the root of the pain and that it is long-lasting and non-irritating. It says anyone from two years and older can use this product. I like the ingredients some of which are Capsaicin, Calendula, Sunflower oil and Black Current. The color of the cream is a tan yellow beige color. It has a citrus type smell but I can also smell the undertones of the Black Current and Calendula. I really like applying this cream. It is very moisturizing and creaming. It also seem to soften my skin where it was applied. This cream seems to be of very good quality. The results of using the cream is after a few minutes of application it dampened the pain in the painful areas. What I also like about this cream is unlike some of the other pain creams that use a menthol base, I don't have to worry about going outside and catching a cold from the draft you get from the menthol creams. Also, if you don't particularly like smelling like Ben-gay this is an alternative. It is a good cream is you need a little pain relief that has natural ingredients that are also good for your skin and also add moisture to your skin.

  • Ken Eaise - Perfect Solution to Loose Floor Tiles

    I had a couple loose tiles on my kitchen floor. One was so loose you could actually hear it move when stepping on it. I didn't want to risk trying to get the tiles up because I had no others in the event one of them broke. Then I saw the Fix a Floor video and decided to give it a try. I only ordered one tube and it was plenty. I drilled the one hole around each edge of the loose tiles, in my case, 3/16" and filled them until I could see all of the other holes being filled. I weighted them for 24 hours as recommended. After removal, they were solid as a rock. No more hollow sound when tapped. I think this is an excellent product. I highly recommend it.

    The game is addictive so it can cause you a lot of money. They will sometimes give free coins but only to Facebook users. I don't have an account with Facebook so I wish they would make it fair for all.
