MINERAL METABOLISM DURING INVOLUTION OF SIMPLE GOITER

Bone mineral density and metabolism in levothyroxine-treated adolescent girls with euthyroid diffuse goiter.

INTRODUCTION Bone and mineral metabolism is influenced by thyroid hormones, and levothyroxine (LT(4)) therapy may be associated with reduced bone mass in postmenopausal women. MATERIAL AND METHODS The aim of the study was to assess the influence of one year of LT(4) treatment in a group of 21 adolescent girls with euthyroid diffuse goiter. Lumbar (L(2)-L(4)) and total body bone mineral densit...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Mineral Metabolism

MINERAL EXCHANGES OF MAN: III. Mineral Metabolism During Treatment of a Case of Polycythemia Vera.

The hemolytic properties of phenylhydrazine and phenylhydrazine hydrochloride were first demonstrated by Hoppe-Seyler (16) in 1884. During the following thirty-four years the drug or its derivatives were used to some extent in the production of experimental anemia in animals, but it was not until 1918 that it achieved a place in human therapeusis through publication of experiments by Eppinger a...

Altered Mineral Metabolism

A B S T R A C T Parameters of mineral and bone metabolism were studied in 17 patients treated chronically with supraphysiologic doses of glucocorticoids. When compared to 15 matched normal subjects, the patient group exhibited similar serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels, decreased intestinal 47Ca absorption, increased serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone, and decreased forearm bone ma...
