Methamphetamine-Induced Hypoglycemia: A Case Report and Literature Review.

We present a rare case of a 34-year-old male patient with a history of schizophrenia who was found to be persistently hypoglycemic after a positive toxicology screen for methamphetamine. The patient has had multiple admissions to the hospital for persistent hypoglycemia and was then transferred to our in-patient behavioral health unit (BHU). At this time, his toxicology screen was negative for methamphetamines.

Association of plasma folate, plasma total homocysteine, but not methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C667T polymorphism, with bone mineral density in postmenopausal Iranian women: a cross-sectional study.

Polymorphisms of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) have been well documented to cause hyperhomocysteinemia, and recent studies suggest an association of C677T mutation of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase with low bone mineral density (BMD). In this study, the association of plasma total homocysteine (Hcy), plasma folate, and vitamin B12 as well as methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C667T polymorphism with bone mineral density at neck of femur and lumbar spine in 271 postmenopausal Iranian women was investigated. Bone mineral density was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
