23 Mayıs, Avrupa Endokrinoloji Derneği (ESE) tarafından AVRUPA HORMON GÜNÜ olarak ilan edildi. Amaç hormonların önemini anlatmak ve hormonlarla ilişkili hastalıklar adına farkındalık oluşturmak. Avrupa Hormon Gününü destekliyoruz. #EuropeanHormoneDay @ESEndocrinology @temdorgtr

A nice commentary on the impact of metaflammation in the course of Covid-19. Most important health conditions that influence the severity of Covid-19 are metabolic diseases that are characterized with metaflammation. ⁦#corona ⁦@HarvardChanSPH⁩ https://t.co/iA3jNWGzV9

@ParathyroidUK In our study we didn't change patients' diet. I agree that dietary changes can alter Ca doses. No calcium regimen can be applicable to selected patients. We also used this method for 2 or 3 patients in our clinic.

@ParathyroidUK @MMichael @EndocrineToday @EsePresident @TheEndoSociety @ESEndocrinology @FranceHypopara @HypoPARAassoc I agree with @ahmed_alsharefi that the hypothesis needs to be verified. We also pointed out this issue in our article. Our results was short-term (3 months) results so Ca doses couldn't optimised well. With better optimising Ca, i suppose urine Ca will drop.

Our new treatment approach for chronic hypoparathyroidism!!
I am looking forward to receiving your comments.

@FranceHypopara @JPBertok @ParathyroidUK @MMichael @EndocrineToday @EsePresident @TheEndoSociety @ESEndocrinology @HypoPARAassoc One of 2 pts has been on alternative therapy about 13 months and the other one about 15 months. They did not use rhPTH in this period of time.

@JPBertok @ParathyroidUK @MMichael @EndocrineToday @EsePresident @TheEndoSociety @ESEndocrinology @FranceHypopara @HypoPARAassoc We will consider your suggestion. Thank you for your contribution 🙏

[Tolga Akkan @whtbLd]

@JPBertok @FranceHypopara @ParathyroidUK @MMichael @EndocrineToday @EsePresident @TheEndoSociety @ESEndocrinology @HypoPARAassoc These pts experienced a very difficult and unbearable process with challenging hypoPT. Several emergency visits, sc injections. With this approach they are now free from injections and emergency visits and disturbing symptoms. So all of them still visit us 😉

[Tolga Akkan @whtbLd]

@JPBertok @ParathyroidUK @MMichael @EndocrineToday @EsePresident @TheEndoSociety @ESEndocrinology @FranceHypopara @HypoPARAassoc Our aim was new approach for chronic hypoPT, not only postsurgical hypoPT. Only one patient with pseudo-hypoPT included this study. She/He was using >6000mg/day oral calcium carbonate. After alternate-day approach, calcium doses dropped to <2000mg/day. 👍

[Tolga Akkan @whtbLd]

@JPBertok @FranceHypopara @ParathyroidUK @MMichael @EndocrineToday @EsePresident @TheEndoSociety @ESEndocrinology @HypoPARAassoc All of 14 patients are still using alternate-day calcium. New pts with challenging hypoPT are added. When we reach appropriate number, we will publish their progress too. 2 pts who stopped rhPTH are very happy ;) They're free from injections 👍

@FranceHypopara @ParathyroidUK @MMichael @EndocrineToday @EsePresident @TheEndoSociety @ESEndocrinology @HypoPARAassoc Cet effet ne dure pas longtemps peut etre parce que les patients recommencent a prendre calcium tous les jours apres in crise

[Tolga Akkan @whtbLd]

@MichalLaurent11 @ParathyroidUK @MMichael @EndocrineToday @EsePresident @TheEndoSociety @ESEndocrinology @FranceHypopara @HypoPARAassoc The amount of oral calcium consumed is the most significant determinant of TRPV6 (a membrane calcium channel in the intestine) expression. We thought that alternate-day oral calcium administration might lead to increased TRPV6
expression and thus better calcium absorption.
