Cancer and Hypercalcemia
Alterations of calcium homeostasis leading to hypercalcemia can occur at three different levels: the bone (increased osteoclast activity), kidney... -
The importance of kidney calcium handling in the homeostasis of extracellular fluid calcium
Extracellular fluid calcium concentration must be maintained within a narrow range in order to sustain many biological functions, encompassing muscle...

Metabolic Causes of Tremor
Metabolic causes of tremor include systemic metabolic, neurometabolic, and endocrine abnormalities. These can be diagnosed by identification of... -
Primary Hyperparathyroidism Secondary to Ectopic Parathyroid Adenoma: A Case Report
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) secondary to parathyroid gland adenoma is mildly symptomatic and thus often incidentally diagnosed. In this... -

Clinical diagnosis of genetic disorders at both single-nucleotide and chromosomal levels based on BGISEQ-500 platform
Most variations in the human genome refer to single-nucleotide variation (SNV), small fragment insertions and deletions, and genomic copy number...

Genetics of Skeletal Disorders
Bone and mineral diseases encompass a variety of conditions that involve altered skeletal homeostasis and are frequently associated with changes in... -
Pharmacodynamic Evaluation: Endocrinology
In this chapter, pharmacodynamic evaluations for the most common clinical endocrine disorders are discussed. Special attention is given to new... -
Metabolic Disturbance
As specific cancer treatments evolved, our ability to anticipate side effects and prevent them has also been refined. Prophylaxis allows us to avoid... -
Animal Models of Phosphorus Homeostasis
Purpose of ReviewPhosphate homeostasis is a complex process that involves many regulators and multiple organs. In vivo models have been used...

Diagnosis of Osteosarcopenia – Biochemistry and Pathology
Sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis are two frequent conditions that often coexist amongst frail, older adults. Individuals affected from both... -
Large intragenic deletion of CDC73 (exons 4–10) in a three-generation hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome family
BackgroundInactivating mutations of CDC73 cause Hyperparathyroidism-Jaw Tumour syndrome (HPT-JT), Familial Isolated Hyperparathyroidism (FIHP) and...
