m.10010T>C Mitochondrial Disease: A Case Report With Hypoparathyroidism and Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 8, Page 1856-1861, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mitochondria are essential intracellular organelles that play a critical role in cellular metabolism, including the regulation of intracellular calcium signaling. Advances in genomic sequencing have facilitated the identification of rare pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic variants in patients with unexplained endocrine disorders.

Vitamin D Supplementation and its Effect on Relapse Frequency and MRI Activity in Adults With Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This systematic review examined whether vitamin D supplementation reduces disease activity in adults with multiple sclerosis. Across 11 primary studies, vitamin D was not consistently associated with reduced relapse frequency, though MRI‐based measures showed a modest and inconsistent signal, leaving its clinical benefit uncertain.

Hypovitaminosis D‐Induced Secondary Hyperparathyroidism With Concomitant Femoral Fracture in a Chronic Hepatitis B Patient: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) are preventable causes of metabolic bone disease, yet they may remain clinically silent until catastrophic skeletal events occur. Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been increasingly linked to disordered bone and mineral metabolism, even in the absence of cirrhosis.

Denosumab Offers Relatively Lower Initial Protection Against Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures in Treatment‐Naive Patients Compared With Zoledronate

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 120, Issue 1, Page 139-149, July 2026.
We compared the initial efficacy of denosumab (Dmab) and zoledronate (ZOL) in treatment‐naive patients with osteoporosis. This cohort study, based on TriNetX data, evaluated the risks of fractures and mortality using Kaplan–Meier survival analyses, with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Vitamin D Pretreatment to Prevent the Risk of Postoperative Hypocalcemic Complications After Parathyroidectomy in Primary Hyperparathyroidism: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Head &Neck, Volume 48, Issue 7, Page 1865-1875, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Parathyroidectomy is the treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism, yet postoperative hypocalcemia and hungry bone syndrome remain common. Vitamin D deficiency has been suggested as a modifiable risk factor, but evidence supporting preoperative supplementation is inconsistent.
