X-linked hypophosphataemic osteomalacia is the most common of the genetically determined forms of osteomalacia. The occurrence of hearing loss in X-linked hypophosphataemic osteomalacia has been known since 1984. However, observations on the progression of such hearing loss, and
Deoxypyridinium (DPD) cross-links are a specific parameter for collagen type I degradation. We report the longitudinal tracking of DPD in relation to other bone markers and imaging techniques in a patient with osteomalacia and secondary hyperparathyroidism from reduced light exposure due to attire.
Primary intestinal lymphangiectasis (PIL), also known as Waldmann's disease, is a rare protein-losing enteropathy characterized by abnormal enlargement of the lymphatic ducts in the bowel wall. The symptoms usually start in early infancy. We report a case of osteomalacia in a 63-year-old patient
Transtympanic electrocochleography was carried out on 13 patients (21 ears) suffering from X-linked hypophosphataemic osteomalacia, and known to have cochlear hearing loss. The majority of ears exhibited a cochlear pattern of cochleogram with a recruiting input/output function and a markedly
The omega loop gastric bypass (OLGB) has become a very commonly performed bariatric procedure because of the advantages it carries over the Roux en Y gastric bypass (RYGBP). However, mini gastric bypass is a misnomer, as this procedure is more malabsorptive than the RYGBP. Recently, it is called
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is the inborn error of metabolism characterized by low serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity caused by inactivating mutations within TNSALP, the gene that encodes the "tissue-nonspecific" isoenzyme of ALP (TNSALP). In HPP, extracellular accumulation of inorganic
Rheumatic paraneoplastic syndromes are paraneoplastic arthritis, palmar fasciitis and polyarthritis syndrome, remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema, pancreatic panniculitis with polyarthritis, paraneoplastic vasculitis, cancer-associated myositis, hypertrophic
Cadmium is a highly toxic element that is cumulative and has a long biological half-life in mammals. The severe toxicity of cadmium in man has been known for more than 100 years. Despite the knowledge that cadmium is toxic, only 20 human cases of poisoning via ingestion were recorded prior to 1941,
Risk of development of malignant tumors increases in elderly people. There are numerous clinical symptoms mimicking primary rheumatic diseases in the course of cancers, referred to as paraneoplastic rheumatologic syndromes. They are not caused directly by the tumor or its metastases, but result from
The dilemma with which every bariatric surgeon is confronted is: What to do with the inevitable failures? In vertical gastric partitioning, revising the gastroplasty results in a high second failure rate. In an effort to improve the Success rate in failed gastroplasty patients who request
OBJECTIVE
Phosphorus and vitamin D (calcitriol) supplementation in the Phex mouse, a murine model for endolymphatic hydrops (ELH), will improve otic capsule mineralization and secondarily ameliorate the postnatal development of ELH and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).
BACKGROUND
Male Phex mice
