Vitamin D status in critically ill patients: back to basics!

The problem of vitamin D deficiency during intensive care requires a number of clarifications. Initially, it is essential to focus on the fundamentals of vitamin D status assessment. Total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OH-D) is currently considered as the best indicator of vitamin D status. Due to practical reasons (less knowledge needed, higher throughput), immunoassays are generally preferred to mea...

Acid tests of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor gating basics.

In this issue of Molecular Pharmacology, Low et al. (2003) delve into the mechanisms by which pH modulates the glutamate receptor subtype specifically activated by N–methylD-aspartate (NMDA). Based on a combination of scanning mutagenesis, patch clamp physiology, and molecular modeling, the authors conclude that amino acids involved in NMDA receptor modulation by protons are clustered in region...

We propose an alternative characterisation of object-based distributed systems in terms of algebraic structures and topological spaces. Some examples are given in order to attest the adequacy of this approach to the subject. We also illustrate a method of transference of results from these mathematical theories that can further contribute to the advancement of distributed systems theory.

his study was carried out to determine the importance of type 2 Diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in 2004 on 40 diabetic and 40 healthy postmenopausal women attending the endocrine clinics in Zanjan. These two groups were matched in terms of age, length of their menopausal period and body mass index. Seru...
