Calcitropic hormones, such as calcitonin and vitamin D, are one of the most common drugs used in the treatment of osteoporosis. Recently, three enzymes involved in vitamin D metabolism (25-hydroxylase, 24-hydroxylase, 1alpha-hydroxylase) were cloned and enabled us to analyze the vitamin D metabolism at a molecular level. We summarize the mechanism which CT activates vitamin D.

Background: Prostate cancer therapy with surgical or chemical castration with GnRH agonists has been linked to elevated FSH levels, which may contribute to secondary health disorders, including atherosclerosis and diabetes. Although recent findings suggest a role for FSH beyond the reproductive system, its metabolic impact remains unclear and difficult to disentangle from that of androgens. In this study, we examined the metabolic changes induced by FSH and distinguished them from those caused by testosterone.

Stat3 is a transcription factor with a key role in cell proliferation and migration. Using the zebrafish line we showed that the genetic ablation results in a marked decrease of tail fin regrowth, demonstrating that this transcription factor is fundamental in the regeneration process. Stat3 activity is finely modulated by post-translational modifications that occur in several residues of the protein (i.

An experiment was performed to understand the effects of aluminium toxicity (AlCl·6HO) on Kachai lemon growth and development. The toxic effects of aluminium were assessed for 45 days in sand media. With untreated pots serving as the control, seedlings of 1 month old were exposed to three concentrations of AlCl·6HO: 300 μM, 600 μM and 900 μM.

Background: The management of thromboembolic risk and the necessity for timely hemorrhage control make anticoagulant-related gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding clinically challenging.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes (such as bleeding control and mortality) and the effectiveness of anticoagulation reversal techniques in patients with anticoagulant-related GI bleeding in emergency settings.
Methodology: This prospective, observational study conducted at Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, from January to December 2023, included patients aged 18 or older with GI bleeding on warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).

Cervical radiculopathies are commonly treated with nerve root injections. This study presents a novel ultrasound (US)-guided cervical transforaminal injection technique using a curved transducer to enhance visualization of the anterior wall of the superior articular process and achieve successful epidural spread of injection. A 56-year-old patient with chronic C6 radiculopathy was treated using our US-guided approach with a combination of 5% dextrose and vitamin B12, leading to significant improvement in symptoms.
