Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a endocrine disorder characterized by excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) from parathyroid gland tumors. Parathyroidectomy (PTE) is the main treatment for PHPT, but it can lead to hypocalcemia in up to 46% of cases. Hypocalcemia is associated with seizures and life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, and vitamin D deficiency can exacerbate PHPT severity and contribute to «hungry bones syndrome,» resulting in severe and persistent postoperative hypocalcemia.

Objective: To determine the frequency of and among patients admitted to a24-hour emergency hospital.
Material And Methods: The study included 2887 patients with a traumatic history who were admitted to the hospital for emergency reasons. This principle of sampling allowed us to exclude a high concentration of studies of patients with chronic neurological diseases, the cause of which could be symptomatic Kimmerle's anomaly (KA).

Blood, as a readily accessible physiological fluid, contains a diverse repertoire of metabolites derived from various physiological systems. Mass spectrometry offers a universal and precise analytical platform for the comprehensive analysis of blood metabolites, encompassing proteins, lipids, peptides, glycans, and immunoglobulins.

In the context of the limited availability of genetic testing, the search for clinical markers indicative of MEN1 gene mutations remains an extremely relevant task.
Aim: To determine the diagnostic value of clinical features of primary PHPT in young patients for predicting the presence of MEN1 gene mutations.
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and metabolic disorders (MD) have retained leading positions in the structure of morbidity and mortality for many years. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is also associated with a greater incidence of CVD and MD. The aim of the present study was to describe the prevalence and structure of CVD and MD in hospitalized patients with PHPT and to search for possible associations between these pathologies.

Recent research has identified the protective effects of resveratrol in PTSD. Here, we tested the behavioral and neurobiological effects of combining cheese consumption with resveratrol supplements in an experimental PTSD model.

Introduction: Until recently no major epidemiological research of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has been conducted in the Russian Federation, this led to the creation of the Russian online registry. The objective of this study is to estimate the clinical and biochemical profile, classical and non-classical complications, surgical intervention and medical therapy of the patients with different forms of PHPT in the Russian Federation.
Materials And Methods: The cross-sectional, observational, continuous study was conducted at the Endocrinology Research Centre (Moscow).
Glucocorticoids are metabolized by the CYP3A isoform of cytochrome P450 and by 11-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD-1). Experimental data suggest that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with an increase in hepatic 11β-HSD-1 activity and a concomitant decrease in hepatic CYP3A activity. -resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, has been extensively studied for its antipsychiatric properties.

The key factors in the extraction of polyphenols are the selection of a suitable solvent, method of extraction and selection of optimal conditions. Ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) is one of the advanced energy-saving methods suitable for the extraction of labile compounds.

In the majority of living species, PP hydrolysis is carried out by soluble cytoplasmic PPase (S-PPases) with the released energy dissipated in the form of heat. In part of this energy can be conserved by proton-pumping pyrophosphatase (H-PPase) in the form of a proton electrochemical gradient for further ATP synthesis.

However, poor survival of exogenous cells at the site of injury is a major complication that impairs MSC therapeutic efficacy. It has been found that tissue-oxygen adaptation or hypoxic pre-conditioning of MSCs could improve the healing process.

The C(20)-alcohols 12 can be prepared either by reaction of 21,21,21-trifluorothevinone (9) with RM (R = alkyl; M = Li, MgX) or by reaction of thevinone (2) and related non-fluorinated ketones with CFSiMe. In general, alcohols 12 were formed as mixtures of the C(20)-epimers, with the major epimers of the alcohols obtained from the aforementioned reactions exploiting RLi CFSiMe with opposite absolute configurations at C(20).

This study, therefore, aimed to evaluate the extended spectrum of vitamin D metabolites in patients with HypoPT compared to healthy individuals. We examined 38 adult patients with chronic HypoPT in comparison to 38 healthy adults.

Dab + tram-related pyrexia may require early therapy discontinuation. A modified Delphi panel was conducted to develop consensus on the optimal management of dab + tram-related pyrexia in patients with melanoma.

The parathyroid glands were first discovered only in 1880 and their function went the long way unrecognized. Even the term "parathyroid gland" itself speaks of the initial misconception of it as an underdeveloped part of the thyroid.

Severe frostbite can lead to necrosis of soft tissues and loss of a limb. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have a unique ability to modulate pathogenic immune response by secretion of paracrine factors, which suppress inflammation and mediate more efficient tissue regeneration.
