Calcium to magnesium ratio as a superior biomarker for nephrolithiasis detection in primary hyperparathyroidism.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Bursa Sehir Training and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Bursa, Turkey.
Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is marked by mineral imbalances, often leading to nephrolithiasis and osteoporosis. While imaging remains the cornerstone for stone detection, there is growing interest in biochemical markers that could enhance diagnostic accuracy. This study investigates the calcium-to-magnesium (Ca/Mg) ratio as a novel biomarker for nephrolithiasis, comparing its utility to traditional 24-h urinary calcium excretion and exploring its broader clinical implications.

Background: Enamel renal gingival syndrome (ERS) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the FAM20A gene located on long arm of chromosome 17. It is characterized by presence of intra-oral features like hypoplastic type of amelogenesis imperfecta, fibromatosis of gingiva and nephrocalcinosis in addition to delayed eruption. The oral phenotype is evident in childhood, whereas the renal involvement is clinically silent at this age and requires further investigation for detection at later age.

Laboratory for Toxicology and Micronutrient Metabolism, Chemical Pathology Department, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria.
Auto-mechanics who often work without safety measures are vulnerable to the harmful effects of toxic metals like lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). These toxic metals exert their deleterious effect by interacting with the micronutrients at their primary site of action. This study aimed to investigate the effects of toxic metal exposure on serum micronutrient levels of auto-mechanics in Nigeria.

Minnesota Regional Poison Center, Department of Pharmacy, Hennepin Healthcare, Minneapolis, MN, USA; Department of Family Medicine and Biobehavioral Health, University of Minnesota Medical School, Duluth Campus, Duluth, MN, USA. Electronic address:
Acute digoxin poisoning is increasingly uncommon in emergency medicine. Furthermore, controversy exists regarding indications for antidotal digoxin immune fab in acute poisoning. In healthy adults, the fab prescribing information recommends administration based on "known consumption of fatal doses of digoxin: ≥10mg," while many emergency medicine textbooks suggest fab administration be driven by clinical features or potassium concentration.

Department of neurosurgery, Hangzhou TCM Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou 310007, Zhejiang, China.
This study aimed to explore the association between serum vitamin D and/or dietary magnesium intake levels and severe hepatic steatosis. This cross-sectional study collected data from 2,874 individuals in the NHNAES database between 2017 and 2018. Variables were subjected to weighted univariate logistic regression analysis, and variables with p<0.
