When an Oral Lesion Uncovers Hyperparathyroidism: A Peripheral Brown Tumor Case

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Oral lesions may represent the first sign of an underlying systemic disease. Giant cell lesions in the oral cavity should prompt investigation for hyperparathyroidism, as early recognition of brown tumors allows appropriate systemic management and may lead to lesion regression after treatment of the endocrine disorder.

Rare Manifestation of Sjogren's Syndrome: Renal Tubular Acidosis‐Induced Hypokalemic Paralysis—A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of exocrine glands, often presenting with symptoms such as dry eyes and mouth. Although less common, renal involvement can lead to serious complications like hypokalemic paralysis.

Alendronate or alfacalcidol in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Treatment with glucocorticoids is associated with bone loss starting soon after therapy is initiated and an increased risk of fracture. METHODS: We performed a randomized, double-placebo, double-blind clinical trial of 18 months' duration ...

Carrier screening in the reproductive setting—Are there medical implications for the heterozygote?—A guide for clinicians

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn

A novel model to explain dietary factors affecting hypocalcaemia in dairy cattle [PDF]

, 2011
Most dairy cows exhibit different degrees of hypocalcaemia around calving because the gestational Ca requirements shift to the disproportionately high Ca requirements of lactation.

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) contributes to the development of hypercalciuria by sensitizing VDR target genes to vitamin D in a genetic hypercalciuric stone-forming (GHS) rat model

Genes and Diseases, 2022
Human idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH) is the most common cause of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis with perturbed calcium metabolism with increased bone resorption and decreased renal calcium reabsorption, which can be phenotype-copied in the genetic ...

Opening closed inward rectifier potassium channel doors

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 10, Page 2197-2218, May 2026.
Inwardly rectifying potassium (KIR) channels are essential regulators of membrane potential in excitable and non‐excitable tissues. Although KIR channels exhibit a biophysical preference for potassium influx due to voltage‐dependent block of outward current by polyamines and Mg2+, under physiological conditions, they predominantly mediate K+ efflux ...

Comparison of urinary sodium and potassium in children older than two with idiopathic hypercalciuria and a healthy control group in Bandar-Abbas, Iran, in 2013

Electronic Physician, 2014
Background: Idiopathic hypercalciuria is an important cause of symptoms related to the urinary system. The urinary excretion of high sodium and low potassium is a risk factor for hypercalciuria and urolithiasis. The aim of this study was to compare the
