Filter by:The present study investigated the effect of routine calcium and vitamin D supplementation and tried to find the predictors for postoperative hypocalcemia in patients with thyroid cancer.
Interventional Clinical trial with food supplement, randomized, double-blind, comparative between microencapsulated calcium, calcium carbonate salts standardized and calcium citrate, in a population of postmenopausal women, lasting 1 month.
This Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial evaluates the clinical impact of parathyroid autofluorescence visualization using near infrared light (NIR) during total thyroidectomy (TT). It compares patients who undergo TT associated or not with lymph node dissection (LND) with NIR vs without NIR use during surgery.
This Before-and-after Controlled Study study evaluates the clinical impact of parathyroid autofluorescence visualization using near infrared light (NIR) during total thyroidectomy (TT). It compares two groups of consecutive patients who underwent TT associated or not to lymph node dissection (LND) with and without intraoperative use of NIR, by the same surgeon.
150 patients divided into two groups.The experimental group was submitted at the assay of iPTH six hours after surgery whilst the control group was submitted to a daily assay of serum calcium and phosphorus.
Hypoparathyroidism is a rare condition in which the parathyroid glands fail to produce sufficient amount of parathyroid hormone or the parathyroid hormone produced lacks biologic activity. The most common cause of hypoparathyroidism is damage to or removal of the parathyroid glands due to neck surgery for another condition. Occurrence of hypercalciuria under treatment is a frequent concern in primary hypoparathyroidism, limiting correction of hypocalcemia. Hypoparathyroidism can also be caused by an autoimmune process. In rare cases, hypoparathyroidism may occur as a genetic disorder inherited as an autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant or X-linked recessive trait. The autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (ADH) is mainly caused by heterozygous activating mutations in the CASR gene encoding CaSR). As other severe presentation of primary hypothyroidism, ADH is characterized by the increased risk to develop hypercalciuria and nephrolithiasis. The purpose of the study is to compare two therapeutic approaches in severe hypoparathyroidism in order to limit the risk of nephrocalcinosis and renal failure when attempting to correct hypocalcemia: rhPTH(1-34) vs association of active vitamin D and hydrochlorothiazide. The European Society of Endocrinology Clinical has indeed recently published guidelines for the treatment of chronic hypoparathyroidism in adults. These guidelines suggest considering treatment with a thiazide diuretic In a patient with hypercalciuria and replacement therapy with PTH in patients who do not stably and safely maintain their serum and urinary calcium in the target range.
Hypomagnesemia is a severe side effect of longterm use of all available proton-pump inhibitors (PPIH). It develops due to intestinal malabsorption of Mg2+. This study investigates the application of dietary inulin fibers in users of proton-pump inhibitors with such a hypomagnesemia. To this end, repetitive short-term trials of 14 days of orally administered inulin, separated by a wash-out period of 14 days each were performed in cases of PPIH and controls. This study was not blinded or randomized.
This is an open-label exploratory study of CTAP101 Capsules in patients with bone metastases arising from either breast or prostate cancer, who are taking anti-resorptive therapy.
This is an open-label study looking at the effects of NPSP795 (a selective calcium receptor antagonist) on activating mutations of the Calcium-sensing receptor in patients with Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia. Patients with ADH have low blood calcium levels and an inappropriately increased renal calcium excretion, decreased renal phosphate excretion, and hyperphosphatemia. PTH and blood calcium levels will be tested during and after the IV infusion of NPSP795. Concentrations of NPSP795 and length of time of IV infusion will vary depending on measured levels of ionized calcium.
Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is a prohormone and its active form is 1,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol. This hormone has effect on both calcium, phosphorus and bone metabolism and also bone morrow, muscle, heart and immune system. For a long time, maternal low vitamin D level is a well known problem for our country and the level was reported as <10 ng/ml for 46-80% of mothers.The most prominent risk factor was determined as low socioeconomic status. Therefore, the level of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D is supposed to be in relation with several neonatal morbidities and maternal complications of pregnancy.
