Effects of etelcalcetide on fibroblast growth factor 23 in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism receiving hemodialysis [PDF]
Background: Etelcalcetide is an intravenous calcimimetic approved for treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) in patients receiving hemodialysis. Besides lowering parathyroid hormone (PTH), etelcalcetide also significantly reduces fibroblast

Pathophysiology and Molecular Signalling in Osteoporosis: Linking Risk Factors to Bone Loss
ABSTRACT Osteoporosis is a prevalent skeletal disorder characterised by progressive reduction in bone mass, microarchitectural deterioration, and increased fracture susceptibility. In India, approximately one‐third of the elderly population is affected by bone‐related disorders, and the global burden of osteoporosis continues to rise.

Hyperparathyroidism and hyperfunctioning supernumary glands : considerations for challenging management [abstract] [PDF]
Hyperparathyroidism can be treated surgically with high success rates. While the majority of patients have four glands, the presence of a supernumerary gland may be encountered as a normal anatomic variant in up to 13% of the population.

Pharmacological Management of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of CKD and is part of the chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD). SHPT is associated with increased risk of fracture and mortality, thus SHPT control is recommended as kidney ...

Bradycardia secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism
Clinical doctors rarely associate hyperparathyroidism with significant bradyarrhythmia. We report a rare case of a patient initially misdiagnosed with primary sick sinus syndrome, which was eventually shown to be secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism.

Impaired Insulin sensitivity and Insulin secretion in Haemodialysis patients with and without Secondary Hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
The aim of our study was to investigate insulin sensitivity and beta cell function in hemodialysis (HD) patients without diabetes. We hypothesized that parathyroid gland function was a determinant of insulin sensitivity and/or beta cell function.
