Vitamin D regulates mineral homeostasis. The most biologically active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D), is synthesized by CYP27B1 from 25-dihydroxyvitamin D (25D) and inactivated by CYP24A1. Human monogenic diseases and genome-wide association studies support a critical role for CYP24A1 in regulation of mineral homeostasis, but little is known about its tissue-specific effects.

Impact of adolescents' binge drinking on blood chemistry.

Eur J Pediatr

December 2024

Pediatric Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Via Della Commenda 9, 20122, Milan, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined the effects of binge drinking on adolescent blood chemistry, focusing on glucose, sodium, calcium, potassium, and acid-base balance, by analyzing medical records from 173 teenagers treated at a Milan hospital between 2013 and 2023.
  • - Results showed that while glucose, sodium, and calcium levels were generally stable, there were significant cases of hypokalemia and an overwhelming presence of acute respiratory acidosis among binge drinkers.
  • - The findings indicate that binge drinking in adolescents leads to notable disturbances in acid-base balance and potassium levels, but has little impact on glucose, sodium, and calcium levels.

Hypercalcemia may be induced by a variety of etiologies, most commonly primary hyperparathyroidism. Although primary hyperparathyroidism represents a relatively common endocrinological disorder, ectopic PTH secretion is a rare entity that is less well described in literature. We describe the first case to our knowledge of severe, symptomatic hypercalcemia found to be secondary to a PTH-secreting pancreatoblastoma.

Single zoledronic acid infusion as a cause of acute kidney impairment requiring dialysis in two patients with osteoporosis.

Arch Endocrinol Metab

November 2024

Department of Endocrinology Copenhagen Denmark Department of Endocrinology, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Article Synopsis
  • * Although generally safe, reports indicate acute kidney impairment can occur, particularly in patients with cancer or preexisting kidney issues after high doses.
  • * This report presents two cases of low-risk patients who developed severe kidney impairment requiring dialysis after a single dose of zoledronic acid, emphasizing the importance of monitoring kidney function in all recipients of the drug.
