متن کاملCost-Effective Screening for Trichomoniasis
R. helvetica (5), R. slovaca (6), and R. felis (7). The serologic findings indicated antibodies at a higher level to R. aeschlimannii than to other tested species. R. aeschlimannii is phylogenetically distant from R. conorii but is closely related to R. rhipicephali and R. montanensis, which have never been described as human pathogens. This patient appeared to have a typical case of R. conorii...
متن کاملHypovitaminosis D in primary hyperparathyroidism: to treat or not to treat? That is the question.
A number of epidemiological studies have shown a high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in the world, independent of the threshold used to define insufficiency or deficiency [1]. Somewhat counterintuitively, hypovitaminosis D appears to be more prevalent in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism [2–5]. The reasons for this finding may be multiple and not mutually exclusive. For example, parath...
