Background: Resistance to thyroid hormone is a rare syndrome characterized by peripheral resistance to thyroid hormones.

- * A 63-year-old man with post-surgical hypoparathyroidism was hospitalized for a complication related to his cardiac device, during which he experienced severe hypocalcemia and critical heart changes due to poorly managed therapy.
- * Consistent and precise long-term treatment with calcium and calcitriol is crucial for maintaining health in hypoparathyroid patients, especially when they have other health problems or face acute medical situations.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) among patients with osteoporosis and fragility fractures, finding a prevalence rate of 12.7% among the 589 patients analyzed.
- - Patients with DM exhibited more combinations of vertebral and hip fractures and had a higher proportion of males, but their bone mineral density (BMD) was higher compared to those without DM.
- - Interestingly, while BMD was better in the DM group, their trabecular bone score (TBS) was significantly lower, suggesting that TBS may serve as a more reliable indicator of bone health in these patients than BMD.
Background: The purpose of this study is to access whether a personal attitude to physical activity (PA) may influence the appearance of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) patients with well-controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: Ninety patients attending the diabetes technology outpatient clinic were enrolled. DPN was investigated according to the Toronto consensus diagnostic criteria.
