BACKGROUND
Primary hypoparathyroidism is associated with diverse variety of symptomatology of hypocalcemia including seizures and tetany. We report a case of previously undiagnosed asymptomatic primary hypoparathyroidism with extensive basal ganglia calcifications presenting for the first time with
Dairy cows may suffer events of hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia, commonly known as milk fever and tetany. Milk fever is characterized by hypocalcemia at parturition as a consequence of a sudden increase in Ca demand and an unavoidable delay in Ca metabolism adaptation. Tetany is due to impaired Mg
A case of probable crisis of malignant hyperthermia triggered by halothane is reported. The diagnosis was rapidly suspected; it evolved rapidly after the start of the specific treatment of malignant hyperthermia and the injection of calcium and thiopentone. The diagnosis and the role of calcium and
Rheumatic fever (RF), a potential sequela of Streptococcus pyogenes pharyngitis, sometimes results in myocarditis and heart failure. Antibodies have been implicated in the pathogenesis of RF and anti-cardiac myosin antibody levels are elevated in RF patients. Since myocarditis is associated with
Milk fever is an important metabolic disorder of dairy cows after calving, and is characterized by hypocalcemia, tetany, lateral recumbency, and eventual coma. To date, there have been many reports about the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of milk fever, but the plasma protein profile in milk fever
Dietary measures designed to prevent low postparturient plasma calcium concentrations were tested in dry dairy cows in Hoorn during a number of weeks before and after calving for a period of five years (1967-1972). Approximately 170 cows prone to milk fever took part in these trials. The effects of
The mineral concentration of forage grasses plays a significant role in 2 metabolic disorders in dairy cattle production, namely, hypocalcemia (milk fever) and hypomagnesemia (grass tetany). Risks of occurrence of these 2 metabolic disorders can be evaluated by determining the dietary cation-anion
Milk fever is a complex metabolic disorder that occurs at the onset of lactation. Clinical symptoms of this disease include inappetence, tetany, inhibition of urination and defecation, lateral recumbency, and eventual coma and death if left untreated. The hallmark of this disease is severe
Migraine has been recently defined a "central neuronal hyperexcitability state", maybe magnesium-dependent, and magnesium has been occasionally employed in the therapy of adult migraine. The Authors, on the basis of their personal experience (previous electromyographic studies), consider childhood
Abstract Extract The main metabolic diseases of cattle recognised 50 years ago, ketosis, grass tetany (hypomagnesaemia) and milk fever (hypocalcaemia), are even more important today, and how we view them has changed radically. Prior to 1950, the emphasis in New Zealand was on identifying these
John Clarke was one of ten licentiates in midwifery created by the College of Physicians in the late eighteenth century to regularise the growing involvement of medical men in obstetrics. He was an excellent clinician and a popular teacher. His publications included original observations about
Impetigo herpetiformis (IH) is a rare dermatosis which usually occurs during the third trimester of pregnancy. It is characterized by acute erythematosquamous plaques covered with tiny superficial pustules in a herpetiform distribution with less likely mucus membranes involvement. It can be
Known and possible interactions between Ca, P, Mg, parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitonin (CT), vitamin D and its metabolites, and interactions of each of these with other factors plus complexities and possible variations between and within domestic animal species, such as age, sex, physiologic state
