People participate in journal clubs or book clubs. Geek Club is my affectionate term for documenting summaries of all the geeky stuff I read. I work as a physiatrist at the East Orange VA hospital in NJ. This may also serve as a resource for the residents who rotate through there.

Hyperdense bones can be the result of
  • osteopetrosis
  • hypervitaminosis D,
  • hypoparathyroidism,
  • myelofibrosis,
  • Paget disease,
  • lead toxicity,
  • diffuse skeletal metastasis of breast or prostate cancer,
  • pseudohypoparathyroidism,
  • fluoride toxicity,
  • beryllium toxicity,
  • sickle cell disease,
  • leukemia.
  • 1 case report describes abnormal bone modeling and increased bone density, with histologic features of drug-induced osteopetrosis, in a 12-year-old boy treated with bisphosphonates.
