Background: Calcium (CA) is crucial for a wide range of biological functions. However, the correlation between total calcium and hyperuricemia in US adults remains unclear. This study aimed to assess whether total calcium is associated with hyperuricemia.
Methods: Based on data from the NHANES (2011 - 2018), we conducted a cross-sectional study involving 20,028 US adults aged 18 or older. Logistic regression, fitting smooth curves, and interaction effects were utilized to support the research objectives.
Results: Regression analyses demonstrated a positive relation between total calcium and hyperuricemia (p < 0.001). Positive association between levels of total calcium and the risk of hyperuricemia was observed after full adjustment for all the confounding variables (odds ratio: 13.28, 95% confidence interval: 10.38 - 16.99, p < 0.001). The interaction of total calcium and hyperuricemia with age and gender was significant (p values for interaction < 0.05), while there was no interaction in other subgroups (p-values for interaction > 0.05). In addition, curve fitting after adjusting for all the confounding variables indicated a nonlinear positive correlation between total calcium and hyperuricemia (p for nonlinearity = 0.024).
Conclusions: The present cross-sectional study revealed that a nonlinear positive association existed between total calcium and hyperuricemia in US adults. The results could be beneficial for the management and treatment of hyperuricemia.

Background: Statins are prescribed to manage hypercholesterolemia. While effective, these medications are associated with adverse effects, particularly myopathy. Cholesterol is essential for muscle function, and its depletion - especially by lipophilic statins - may contribute to muscle damage.

Background: We have previously found that S100 calcium-binding protein A7 (S100A7) is strongly associated with chemoresistance in breast cancer (BC). In this study, we investigated whether S100A7 can be used to predict the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and assessed its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics in BC.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of patients with BC who underwent NAC at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University between January 2021 and December 2021.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication in chronic kidney disease patients, necessitating effective management to prevent adverse outcomes. This study evaluates the efficacy of surgical intervention in achieving biochemical balance in SHPT patients resistant to medical therapy. The study includes 36 patients with SHPT who underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy following failed medical management.

Objective Osteoporosis-related fractures are a significant health issue in aging societies, necessitating effective screening and prevention strategies. While panoramic radiographs are widely used for osteoporosis screening via mandibular cortical bone morphology, there is insufficient consensus on the quantitative analysis of alveolar bone mineral density (al-BMD) using intraoral radiographs. This study aimed to measure al-BMD in young adults and investigate its relationship with general skeletal bone mineral density (gs-BMD) at the lumbar spine (LSBMD) and femoral neck (FNBMD).
