Article Synopsis
  • Chronic hypophosphatemia can be caused by various acquired disorders and genetic factors, but there is a lack of awareness regarding genetic causes in adults.
  • A study reviewed lab data from over 800,000 phosphorus analyses, focusing on patients aged 17-55 with low serum phosphorus, confirming hypophosphatemia in 39 individuals after excluding other causes.
  • The researchers found 14 patients with genetic variants linked to phosphate metabolism, with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) being the most prevalent genetic cause, often presenting with noticeable skeletal issues.

To analyze the clinical effect of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) patients in the Spanish real-world scenario. All T1D patients on CSII registered in the SPAnish Insulin Pump (SPAIP) registry were included. The primary efficacy outcome was change in HbA1c during follow-up.

Introduction: The need for parathyroidectomy to treat asymptomatic patients with primary hyperparathyroidism is controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of parathyroidectomy vs. surveillance on skeletal outcomes such as bone mineral density (BMD) and incident fractures.

OBJECTIVE In children, the repair of skull defects arising from decompressive craniectomy presents a unique set of challenges. Single-center studies have identified different risk factors for the common complications of cranioplasty resorption and infection. The goal of the present study was to determine the risk factors for bone resorption and infection after pediatric cranioplasty.

Background: The receptor of parathyroid hormone and parathyroid hormone-related-protein (PTH/PTHrp) is located in the cell membrane of target tissues - kidney and osteoblasts. It is a G protein-coupled-receptor whose Gα subunit is encoded by the GNAS gene. Our aim was to study whether the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) T393C of the GNAS gene is associated with renal stones, bone mineral density (BMD), or bone remodelling markers in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).
