2. 21. Cardiovascular aspects in mild primary hyperparathyroidism and the outcome after parathyroidectomy

   Author : Parastou Farahnak; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Data on the extent and clinical significance of cardiovascular abnormalities in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) are conflicting. The main objective of this thesis was to evaluate the cardiovascular function in patients with mild PHPT without other known risk factors and to analyze the effect of parathyroid adenomectomy.

4. 22. Metabolic Disturbances in Relation to Serum Calcium and Primary Hyperparathyroidism

   Author : Emil Hagström; Per Hellman; Ewa Lundgren; Jonas Rastad; Svante Jansson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Surgery; Primary hyperparathyroidism; Parathyroidectomy; Insulin sensitivity; Lipoproteins; Glucose metabolism disorders; Bone density; Calcium; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT), characterized by elevated serum levels of calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH), is associated with a number of metabolic derangements causing secondary manifestations. These include osteoporosis and increased risk of fractures, but also risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

5. 23. New insights in parathyroid hormone secretion : with focus on exocytosis and calcium signaling

   Author : Ming Lu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The parathyroid is distinguished from other endocrine systems since its primary stimuli inhibit hormone secretion. It is generally considered that extracellular Ca2+ binds to a membrane receptor (calcium sensing receptor, or CaSR), and via second messengers modulate parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. READ MORE

6. 24. Renal Klotho in mineral metabolism

   Author : Risul Amin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Calcium and phosphorous are critical elements in a number of physiological processes, including maintenance of bone structure, cell signaling and energy metabolism. Their endocrine regulation is tightly controlled through a number of feedback mechanisms involving parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D and the recently discovered fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23).

7. 25. Studies related to bone mass in patients with cystic fibrosis

   Author : Eva Gronowitz; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : DXA; infection; lung function; parathyroid hormone; physical activity; vitamin D; ; pQCT; UVB;

   Abstract : Cystic fibrosis is the most common genetic disease that causes respiratory failure and earlydeath. The lifespan of these patients has gradually increased due to improved generaltreatment, but concurrent with this, new complications have emerged, and changes in bonemineral density (BMD) have been stressed as a major problem.
