Numerous animal experiments and human studies have shown that intermittent injection of parathyroid hormone (PTH) exerts anabolic effects by increasing bone mass, whereas continuous PTH treatment decreases the bone mass. Thus, PTH has diverse effects on bone metabolism depending on the mode of administration. Several reports suggested that the duration of the serum concentration of PTH above the baseline level of endogenous PTH is a critical factor in regulating such anabolic and catabolic actions on the bone mass. However, the molecular mechanism of different PTH actions is not fully understood yet.

Background: Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) represents one of the rarer forms of plasma cell malignancies, capable of impacting a variety of tissues and organs throughout the body. The majority of EMP cases are predominantly found in the head and neck region, especially within the laryngopharynx, as well as in the gastrointestinal tract. While there have been documented instances of oropharyngeal involvement in EMP cases in the academic literature, it is important to note that EMP specifically affecting the uvula is exceedingly uncommon.

Background: Recent research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may play a role in bone metabolism through their influence on bone mineral density (BMD) and the regulation of bone turnover markers. However, epidemiological evidence linking omega-3 intake to the risk of developing osteoporosis is still emerging and remains inconclusive. This study aims to clarify the role of dietary omega-3 fatty acids in the prevention of osteoporosis.

Tumor-induced osteomalacia is characterized by hypophosphatemia and fragility fractures caused by fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)-producing tumors. We report a case of tumor-induced osteomalacia in which the tumor location could be determined by gallium 68 (Ga)-DOTATOC positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT). A 74-year-old woman had recurrent fractures and bone pain.

PARATHYROID CARCINOMA: ULTRASONOGRAPHIC AND CLINICAL EXPERIENCE.

Acta Clin Croat

December 2023

Clinical Department of Nuclear Medicine and Radiation Protection, Zagreb University Hospital Center, Zagreb, Croatia.

Parathyroid cancer is an extremely rare malignancy that usually leads to hyperparathyroidism. The aim of this report is to present clinical and ultrasonographic features of tumors in six patients (5 females; mean age 53.2 years) treated for parathyroid carcinoma at the Department of Nuclear Medicine during 20 years.

Introduction: Adolescents with a lower peak bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) have an elevated risk of osteoporosis in adulthood. The impact of diet on bone health, particularly its role in managing inflammation, which is a key factor in bone health, is gaining wider recognition. Despite evidence that anti-inflammatory diets can enhance bone health, the link between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and bone health among US adolescents has not been thoroughly investigated.
