DiGeorge anomaly in the absence of chromosome 22q11.2 deletion.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that the prevalence of deletion 22q11.2 among individuals who meet criteria for DiGeorge anomaly (DGA) is lower than the 90% commonly cited. STUDY DESIGN: Participants were identified through retrospective chart ... Read more...

[Hungry bone syndrome due to vitamin-D deficiency]

26 Sep 2009 An 85-year-old woman was admitted after being bedridden for six months with muscular weakness and diarrhoea. Vitamin 25-OH-D, serum calcium, magnesium and phosphate were low, and parathyroid hormone as well as alkaline phosphatase were increased. ... Read more...

Postoperative hypocalcemia after parathyroidectomy for renal hyperparathyroidism in the era of cinacalcet.

30 Aug 2009 Chronic kidney disease is often accompanied by hyperparathyroidism. Cinacalcet, a recent addition to the medical armamentarium, has proven efficacious. It is unclear whether cinacalcet use has any impact on the postoperative course in patients ... Read more...
