Article Abstract
A 6-mo-old, intact male, domestic shorthair cat was referred with a history of poor growth, reluctance to move, and deformation of the nasal profile. The kitten had been fed a diet composed almost exclusively of a complementary pet food and tuna, which was similar to an all-meat diet. We detected osteopenia and hypocalcemia associated with severe parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol increases; we measured PTH concentrations with an immunoenzymatic method that has been validated in cats. Dietary correction, consisting of a complete and balanced wet pet food formulated for growth, resulted in normalization of calcium and PTH concentrations within 2 mo.

Background: The primary goals of surgical management in thyroid disorders are the treatment of malignancy, goiter, and thyrotoxicosis, while adhering to the principle of 'primum non nocere'. Hypocalcemia is among the most common complications, primarily resulting from inadvertent injury to the parathyroid glands.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 2015-2023 records of Polish pediatric patients who underwent thyroid surgery.

Objective: To investigate the association between thyroid hormone sensitivity indices and bone metabolism markers in newly diagnosed middle-aged and elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with normal thyroid function.
Method: We retrospectively analyzed 350 newly diagnosed T2DM patients (≥ 45 years), stratified by bone mineral density into Group A (normal bone density group) and Group B (low bone mass and osteoporosis group). General data and clinical biochemical parameters were collected: free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), osteocalcin (OC), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), serum calcium (Ca), serum phosphorus (P), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobinA1c (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), serum creatinine (SCr), serum uric acid (SUA), and estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR).
Efficacy of ophthalmic examinations for predicting vascular calcification in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

Background: In maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, vascular calcification can be detected not only in coronary vessels but also in ocular areas. However, ophthalmic examinations are not sufficiently validated to measure the degree of vascular calcification.
Methods: This study was performed prospectively, involving 32 MHD patients.

The parathyroid hormone receptor type 1 (PTH1R) is a G protein-coupled receptor that mediates the actions of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the regulation of blood calcium levels, as well as PTH-related protein (PTHrP) in the regulation of skeletal development. Severe loss-of-function homozygous mutations in PTH1R are incompatible with life as in Blomstrand's lethal chondrodysplasia, characterized by accelerated growth plate ossification. More recently, homozygous mutations located in the transmembrane helices, extracellular domains and C-tail of the PTH1R were identified in patients with milder conditions characterized by variable degrees of skeletal and mineral abnormalities.
