Hypocalcemia is relatively uncommon paraneoplastic syndrome. Only one case of hypocalcemia has been reported in a patient with chondrosarcoma. We herein report a case of a 32-year-old woman with metastatic chondrosarcoma with tetany. Her imaging findings revealed multiple calcific metastatic lesions in the lungs, pancreas, left atrium, and pulmonary vein. A laboratory examination showed hypocal...

background: hyperbilirubinemia is the single most common abnormal physical finding in the first week of life and is commonly managed by phototherapy with its inherent complications.  a lesser known complication of the phototherapy is hypocalcemia.   objective: to study the prevalence of phototherapy-induced hypocalcemia and to compare it between premature and full-term babies.   methods: this s...

BACKGROUND Hypocalcemia is a marker of poor prognosis in acute pancreatitis (AP) but the prognostic significance of hypocalcemic tetany in patients with AP has not been studied. We aimed to determine the prognostic significance of hypocalcemic tetany in patients with AP. METHODS Consecutive patients of AP who presented within 7 days of symptoms were included. Serum calcium levels were measure...

BACKGROUND Total thyroidectomy (TT) is a commonly performed surgery and postoperative hypocalcemia is a major detriment to early discharge. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to ascertain the usefulness of routine pre- and post-operative calcium and Vitamin D supplementation in prevention of hypocalcemia after TT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty consecutive patients who underwent tot...

considering the fact that early hypocalcemia is the most common type of neonatal hypocalcemia which manifests during the first few days of iife (72 hours) and that hypocalcemia in low birth weight neonates is very common, this descriptive study on hypocalcemia was conducted to determine the frequency of hypocalcemia in low birth weight neonates in the city of kashan in the first 9 months of the...

the main objective of this study was to identify the incidence of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia in patients underwent lobectomy, subtotal thyroidectomy or total thyroidectomy. this randomized trial study was performed from may 2010 to july 2011 among 108 consecutive patients undergoing thyroidectomy. patients were allocated into 3 groups based on the 3 common type of thyroidectomy. pre and po...

Objective: This study was designed to determine whether or not "hypocalcemia following complete thyroidectomy in hyperthyroid patients associated with preoperative vitamin D insufficiency." Methodology: research carried out the West Surgical Ward of Mayo Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. Total 60 were included study. Patients divided two groups i.e. Vit-D deficient group “with deficiency” and sufficie...

Denosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand, inhibits the activation of osteoclasts. Some clinical trials have shown that denosumab suppresses bone resorption in patients with advanced cancer, but hypocalcemia has been reported as a serious adverse effect after the administration of denosumab. It is difficult to predict hypocalce...

ABSTRACT. The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of proteins is cation-selective ion channels with six predicted transmembrane segments and intracellularly localized amino and carboxyl termini. Members of the TRP superfamily are identified on the basis of amino acid sequence and structural similarity and are classified into TRPC, TRPV, TRPM, TRPP, TRPN, and TRPML subfamilies. TRP ch...
