Abstract: Due to its pivotal role in many physiological processes and calcium-depleting diseases like osteoporosis, accurate quantification of the concentration of calcium in blood serum is imperative ...

If you don't get enough calcium, you might feel muscle cramps and aches. Weak bones from low calcium can lead to problems like osteopenia or osteoporosis. Not having enough calcium can also cause ...

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using infrared thermography to detect hypocalcemia in dairy cows. We used ionized calcium levels and a handheld thermal camera. The ...

These days, we're more aware of how sugary beverages can affect our health, and for good reason. Millions of Americans have Type 2 diabetes, and reducing sugar intake can help people manage or prevent ...

Calcium is one of the most abundant and important minerals in the body, playing a crucial role in how we function. Not getting enough can put you at risk for weakened bones that may progress to ...

Objective The aim of the present study was to identify a fast, efficient and low-cost method to diagnose hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy. Materials and methods One hundred and forty ...

Clinical question: Is albumin-adjusted calcium a reliable surrogate for determining true calcium status, particularly when compared to ionized calcium, in adult patients? Background: Albumin-adjusted ...

Hypoparathyroidism is diagnosed biochemically, with hypocalcemia and low or inappropriately normal parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels representing the hallmark features of the disease. A formal ...

High ionized calcium levels were associated with an increased risk for primary hyperparathyroidism. High ionized calcium is associated with increased risk for hyperparathyroidism, according to results ...
