Alkaline phosphatase in clinical practice in childhood: Focus on rickets

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and its isoenzymes reflect bone metabolism: ALP increases the ratio of inorganic phosphate to pyrophosphate systemically and facilitates mineralization as well as reduces extracellular pyrophosphate concentration, an ...

Dietary calcium and zinc deficiency risks are decreasing but remain prevalent [PDF]

, 2015
Globally, more than 800 million people are undernourished while >2 billion people have one or more chronic micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs). More than 6% of global mortality and morbidity burdens are associated with undernourishment and MNDs.

Delayed diagnosis of 3β‐HSD7 deficiency in adolescence: Two case reports and review of the literature

JPGN Reports, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 236-241, May 2026.
Abstract Congenital bile acid synthesis defects (BASD), the most common of which is 3β‐hydroxy‐Δ5‐C27‐steroid dehydrogenase oxidoreductase (3β‐HSD7) deficiency, are a rare cause of fat‐soluble vitamin malabsorption. We describe a 14‐year‐old girl who presented at 14 months with a left distal femur fracture and failure to thrive.

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

Synergistic Tuning of Conformational Dynamics, Electron Tunneling, and Substrate Positioning Enhances Electron Transfer in a P450 Chimera for Calcifediol Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 22, 17 April 2026.
A synergistic electron transfer (ET) optimization strategy modulating conformational dynamics, ET pathway, and substrate orientation is proposed for self‐sufficient cytochrome P450s. Guided by this strategy, a P450 variant with improved ET and catalytic efficiency was identified, and the underlying molecular basis was revealed by computational analysis.

Cortical Bone Loss in Barcelona Across Time (1st Century CE–18th Century CE) and Its Potential Relationship With Linear Enamel Hypoplasia

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The purpose of this study is to conduct a diachronic analysis of cortical bone loss in Barcelona, spanning from the 1st to 18th century CE, assessing the relationship between cortical bone loss and early‐life stressors, as indicated by linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) across Roman, Late Antiquity, Medieval, and Modern periods and ...
