Although renal calcium crystal deposits (nephrocalcinosis) may occur in acute phosphate poisoning as well as type 1 renal tubular acidosis (RTA), hyperphosphatemic hypocalcemia is common in the former while normocalcemic hypokalemia is typical in the latter. Here, as a unique coexistence of these two seperated clinical entities, we report a 30-yr-old woman presenting with carpal spasm related to hypocalcemia (ionized calcium of 1.90 mM/L) due to acute phosphate poisoning after oral sodium phosphate bowel preparation, which resolved rapidly after calcium gluconate intravenously. Subsequently, type 1 RTA due to Sjögren's syndrome was unveiled by sustained hypokalemia (3.3 to 3.4 mEq/L), persistent alkaline urine pH (> 6.0) despite metabolic acidosis, and medullary nephrocalcinosis. Through this case report, the differential points of nephrocalcinosis and electrolyte imbalances between them are discussed, and focused more on diagnostic tests and managements of type 1 RTA.

An 8 yr old, male, mixed-breed dog was presented with a 2 mo history of progressive weakness, worsened in the last 2 days before examination. Neurological examination revealed ambulatory tetraparesis, ataxia, and proprioceptive deficits in all four limbs. Menace response was reduced in the right eye and discomfort was detected on neck manipulation.

Objective: Refeeding oedema, believed to result from the effects of insulin on renal sodium retention and subsequent oedema formation, typically occurs during the first 2 weeks after reintroduction of nutrition in individuals with severe malnutrition and can intensify body image distress in patients with eating disorders (EDs). Phosphate supplements have been found to increase insulin sensitivity, and it is hypothesised that they may also contribute to refeeding oedema in patients with EDs.
Method: In this retrospective cohort study of 633 patients with severe malnutrition due to anorexia nervosa (AN) or avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), the impact of phosphate supplementation on the rate of weight gain was investigated.

Despite all debates about its safe use, glyphosate remains the most widely applied active ingredient in herbicide products, with renewed approval in the European Union until 2033. Non-target organisms are commonly exposed to glyphosate as a matter of its mode of application, with its broader environmental and biological impacts remaining under investigation. Glyphosate displays structural similarity to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), thereby competitively inhibiting the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), crucial for the synthesis of aromatic amino acids in plants, fungi, bacteria, and archaea.

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is the master regulator of cellular energy which gets activated during energy stress and restores tissue homeostasis. AMPK is widely expressed in the pancreas and is involved in protein synthesis. In cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis (AP), diminished AMPK activity in the pancreatic tissue may be associated with pancreatic inflammation and oxidative stress.

PIKfyve (1-phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate 5-kinase), a lipid kinase, plays an important role in generating phosphatidylinositol (3,5)-bisphosphate (PI(3,5)P). SGC-PIKFYVE-1, a potent and selective inhibitor of PIKfyve, has been used as a chemical probe to explore pathways dependent on PIKfyve activity. Based on reported changes in membrane dynamics and ion transport in response to PIKfyve inhibition, we hypothesized that pharmacological inhibition of PIKfyve could modulate pain.
