Calcium infusion is used as a pre-treatment before calcium channel blockers to prevent hypotension. Occasional cardioversion with calcium gluconate infusion is seen in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Several mechanisms have been suggested for mechanism. Herein we report a case presenting with atrial fibrillation but cardioverted with calcium gluconate infusion, which is unreported in the literature before.

Case report: Prolonged and severe hungry bone syndrome after parathyroidectomy in X-linked hypophosphatemia.

Tertiary hyperparathyroidism is characterized by hypercalcemia resulting from autonomous parathyroid hormone production and usually occurs after a prolonged period of secondary hyperparathyroidism. This condition can be a complication of X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), a rare genetic disease characterized by renal phosphate loss and consequent hypophosphatemia. Parathyroidectomy is considered the first-line therapy but surgical intervention can be complicated by hungry bone syndrome.

We present a novel method for preparing bioactive and biomineralized calcium phosphate (mCP)-loaded biopolymer composite scaffolds with a porous structure. Two types of polymers were investigated as matrices: one natural, cellulose acetate (CA), and one synthetic, polycaprolactone (PCL). Biomineralized calcium phosphate particles were synthesized via wet chemical precipitation, followed by the addition of organic biominerals, such as magnesium gluconate and zinc gluconate, to enhance the bioactivity of the pure CP phase.

Case Presentation: A 13-month-old child with past medical history of congenital adrenal insufficiency presented to the emergency department with vomiting and diarrhea. Initially the child was noticed to have bradycardia with normal blood pressure. An electrocardiogram (ECG) showed tall T waves, broad QRS complex, and widened PR interval suggestive of severe hyperkalemia.

Coingestion of cardiovascular drugs with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) can be associated with refractory shock derangements complicated by vasopressor resistance, prompting the use of novel, unconventional, or uncommonly used agents. A young adult male presented to the emergency department (ED) 10 h after ingesting lisinopril and amlodipine. On arrival, he was hypotensive with a blood pressure of 72/39 mmHg.

Additionally, surfaces of lithium disilicate ceramic were examined for precipitates after the etching and neutralizing process.
Materials And Methods: The HF permeability of the following isolation agents (n=8) was investigated by positioning them over pH indicator paper under airtight conditions and applying 9% HF: latex rubber dam; elastic plastomer rubber dam; nitrile gloves; latex gloves; liquid rubber dam; Teflon; AZ strip.
