Effect of Increased Activity on Metabolic Markers in Captive Black Rhinos: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Ex situ (captive) black rhinoceros populations exhibit higher rates of disease than free-ranging counterparts. Preliminary data from an ongoing study supports the association between excessive adipose tissue, iron overload, insulin resistance and ...

Revisiting the Genetics of Hypophosphatasia
Overview of the genetic concepts in hypophosphatasia reviewed in this manuscript. ABSTRACT Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited monogenic disorder that is typically caused by variants in the tissue‐nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) gene.

Hyperparathyroidism and parathyroidectomy in X-linked hypophosphatemia patients
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) causes rickets, osteomalacia, skeletal deformities and growth impairment, due to elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 and hypophosphatemia. Conventional therapy requires high doses of phosphate salts combined with active vitamin D analogues. Risks of this regimen include nephrocalcinosis and secondary hyperparathyroidism

Abstract Objectives Despite advances in the management of ambulatory paediatric ulcerative colitis (UC), challenges remain as many patients are refractory to therapy and some require colectomy. The aim of these guidelines is to provide an update on optimal care for UC through detailed recommendations and practice points. Methods These guidelines are an

FGF23, Hypophosphatemia, and Emerging Treatments
FGF23 is an important hormonal regulator of phosphate homeostasis. Together with its co‐receptor Klotho, it modulates phosphate reabsorption and both 1α‐hydroxylation and 24‐hydroxylation in the renal proximal tubules.

ABSTRACT Persistent hypophosphatemia must prompt thorough evaluation. This case highlights the severe, multisystem consequences of delayed recognition of oncogenic osteomalacia. Early biochemical assessment, imaging, and multidisciplinary involvement are critical to avoid misdiagnosis and prevent irreversible complications such as skeletal fragility ...

ABSTRACT Background There is increasing awareness of a role for muscle composition in sarcopenia and cachexia. Computed tomography (CT)–based measures of muscle density (MusD) are commonly used to indicate composition, with a decrease in MusD reflecting an increase in muscle fat infiltration. The current study explored predictors of MusD acquired using

Role of antiviral therapy in the natural history of hepatitis B virus-related chronic liver disease [PDF]
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a dynamic state of interactions among HBV, hepatocytes, and the host immune system. Natural history studies of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection have shown an association between active viral replication and adverse
