1. Vitamin D deficiency in bedridden elderly people at home
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate serum 25(OH)D concentrations in the homebound elderly people and relate them to level of dementia, nutritional risk, and route of dietary administration. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study involving 207 bedridden elderly people assisted by the Home Care Service in the city of Santo André – S

2. Association of Serum Calcium and Vitamin D with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
Abstract Introduction Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the common disorders of the peripheral vestibular system. The prevalence of BPPV is found to be higher among middle-aged women. Objectives To estimate the serum levels of calcium and vitamin D in patients with BPPV, and to study their association. Methods The present is a hospital

3. A rare cause of dilated cardiomyopathy: hypocalcemia
SUMMARY Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by systolic dysfunction and is usually idiopathic. A rare cause of reversible DCM is hypocalcemia. Calcium plays a key role in myocardial contraction. Hypocalcemia can lead to a decrease in contraction, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (EF). Hypocalce

4. Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism
ABSTRACT Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a newer phenotype of PHPT defined by elevated PTH concentrations in the setting of normal serum calcium levels. It is increasingly being diagnosed in the setting of evaluation for nephrolithiasis or metabolic bone diseases. It is important to demonstrate that PTH values remain consistently elevated

5. Association of 25-hydroxyvitamin D with hematological profile and anthropometry in patients with glioma
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Gliomas are immune system suppressive tumors, and the role of vitamin D is pivotal in the immune system. This study aimed to observe if there is any significant association between the serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D with hematological indices and anthropometric measurements. METHODS: A total of 75 glioma patients were included, and

6. Effects of perilipin-5 on lipid metabolism and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Heart attack is one of the most common causes of sudden death in adults. Therefore, early detection of heart attack and investigation of potential new biomarkers are of great importance. We investigated whether perilipin-5 is a potential biomarker by examining changes in perilipin-5 serum levels along with high-sensitivity cardiac troponi

7. FGF23 levels as a marker of physical performance and falls in community-dwelling very old individuals
ABSTRACT Objective: The fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has been related to biological aging, but data in elderly individuals are scant. We determined the profile of serum FGF23 levels in a population of very-old individuals and studied their correlations with parameters of bone metabolism and health markers, as functional performance. Materials and me

8. An intricate case of sporadic pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B with a review of literature
SUMMARY Pseudohypoparathyroidism comprehends an assorted group of genetically rare disorders that share end-organ resistance to parathyroid hormone. Genetic and epigenetic modifications on guanine nucleotide-binding protein alpha-stimulating gene locus are the most common underlying mechanisms associated with pseudohypoparathyroidism. Biochemical and molecul

9. The impact of visceral fat and levels of vitamin D on coronary artery calcification
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: To evaluated calcification of the coronary arteries and its association with visceral fat and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) serum levels. METHODS: A cross sectional study involving 140 individuals without any previous diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. A biochemical analysis of vitamin D serum levels was carried out, as well as compute

10. Central and peripheral blood pressures and arterial stiffness increase in hypoparathyroidism
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether arterial stiffness is affected in the patients with hypoparathyroidism through pulse wave analysis (PWA). Subjects and methods Sixty-three patients diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism and sixty volunteers were evaluated for the study. When 21 patients were excluded in the hypoparathyro

11. Characteristics of hypoparathyroidism in Colombia: data from a single center in the city of Medellín
ABSTRACT Objective Hypoparathyroidism is a rare condition, whose most common etiology is complications of neck surgery. The aim of the study was to identify the clinical and biochemical profile of the patients with diagnosis of hypoparathyroidism, including the frequency of symptoms, clinical signs, long-term complications and disease control. Additionally

12. Challenges in monitoring GnRH analog treatment in central precocious puberty
ABSTRACT While the developed world is focusing on laying guidelines for selecting out cases of Asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) for surgical intervention and promoting minimal access surgery, the developing world is observing a change in disease spectrum from advanced symptomatic to lesser degree of symptomatic disease and not many with associ
