COVID-19 infection with severe hypocalcaemia and superior mesenteric artery syndrome-a case report.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection has been associated with various endocrinopathies. Few literatures have reported cases of transient hypoparathyroidism in acute COVID-19 infections, or even exacerbation of hypocalcaemia in previously known hypoparathyroidism patients. The mechanism of hypocalcaemia in COVID-19 infection remains unclear.

Magnetic resonance imaging T2 of the pancreas value using an online software tool and correlate with T2 value of myocardium and liver among patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia major.

Objective: Patients with thalassemia major do require lifetime blood transfusions that eventually result in iron accumulation in different organs. We described the usefulness of using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2imaging values for the evaluation of pancreatic iron load in these patients, and we correlated it with MRI T2 haemosiderosis of the myocardium and liver that has been recognized as a non-invasive assessment of iron overload among patients with thalassemia major.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on 39 patients with thalassemia major in one of the tertiary university hospitals for a 1-year period.
