Primary hyperparathyroidism presenting as major depression with psychotic features

Effect of fermented milk with kefir grains on the in vitro demineralization of bovine tooth enamel

Actual. osteol; 15 (3), 2019
The dental caries is a progressive destruction of the teeth tissue due to the disbalance in the normal molecule interactions between the enamel and the bio!lm, which alters the demineralization-remineralization process. Milk fermentation produces caseinphosphopeptides with proved remineralizing capacity ...

Simultaneous use of oxalate-degrading bacteria and herbal extract to reduce the urinary oxalate in a rat model: A new strategy

Int. braz. j. urol; 45 (6), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: Urinary stones with oxalate composition can cause kidney failure. Recent findings evidenced that probiotics are effective in reducing oxalate absorption in these subjects based on their high colonic absorption levels at baseline. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect o...

Discovery of the ARP2 protein as a determining molecule in tumor cell death

Gac. méd. Méx; 155 (5), 2019
Cancer is a multifactorial disease that constitutes a serious public health problem worldwide. Prostate cancer advanced stages are associated with the development of androgen-independent tumors and an apoptosis-resistant phenotype that progresses to metastasis. By studying androgen-independent lymphoid n...

Effect of spironolactone on the progression of coronary calcification in peritoneal dialysis patients: a pilot study

J. bras. nefrol; 41 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT Introduction: There is evidence that aldosterone plays a role in the pathogenesis of vascular calcification. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of spironolactone, a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, on the progression of coronary calcification (CC) in peritoneal dialysis pati...

The impact of cinacalcet in the mineral metabolism markers of patients on dialysis with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism

J. bras. nefrol; 41 (3), 2019
Abstract Introduction: Treating secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), a common condition associated with death in patients with chronic kidney disease, is a challenge for nephrologists. Calcimimetics have allowed the introduction of drug therapies no longer based on phosphate binders and active vitamin ...

Association between calcitonin receptor gene polymorphisms and calcium stone urolithiasis: A meta-analysis

Int. braz. j. urol; 45 (5), 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose It has been reported that calcitonin receptor (CALCR) gene polymorphisms might be associated with calcium stone urolithiasis. Owing to mixed and inconclusive results, we conducted a meta-analysis to summarize and clarify this association. Materials and Methods A systematic search of st...

Calcium consumption and other predictors of bone mineral density in Venezuelan adolescents

Arch. latinoam. nutr; 69 (3), 2019
La acumulación adecuada de masa ósea durante la adolescencia es un factor protector para osteoporosis y otras afecciones óseas, por tanto, resulta relevante la evaluación del consumo de calcio y de otros determinantes de la densidad mineral ósea (DMO), en adolescentes. Se evaluó el consumo de calci...

Prediction of bone mass changes after successful parathyroidectomy using biochemical markers of bone metabolism in primary hyperparathyroidism: is it clinically useful?

ABSTRACT Objective To measure type 1 serum amino-terminal propeptide procollagen (P1NP) and type 1 cross-linked C-terminal telopeptide collagen (CTX) before parathyroidectomy (PTX) in PHPT patients, correlating these measurements with bone mineral density (BMD) changes. Subjects and methods 31 primar...

Concentración de fluoruro en agua subterránea y su relación con los niveles de calcio sérico en niños residentes en el distrito de Loreto, Concepción, Paraguay

Como parte del ciclo biogeoquímico, el fluoruro del suelo puede disolverse e ingresar al agua. La Organización Mundial de la Salud y la Norma Paraguaya NP 24 001 80 establecen una concentración máxima de 1,5 mg.L-1 de fluoruro en agua de consumo, pudiendo producir fluorosis cuando es elevada, tal com...
