Calcium supplements increase the risk of dementia inn older people
1. #Calcium tablets are commonly prescribed to older people to lower the risk of #osteoporosis and #fractures. However, calcium tablets may increase the risk of #Dementia.

2. Women (aged 70 or more) taking calcium supplements had a higher risk of all type dementia, vascular and mixed dementia at 5-year follow up.
The risk of dementia was higher in women with previous history of #stroke and those with white matter lesions (WML) on #MRI brain.
The risk of dementia was higher in women with previous history of #stroke and those with white matter lesions (WML) on #MRI brain.
3. In another study, higher serum calcium status (even if not hypercalcemia) was associated with increased risk of #Alzheimers disease in elders. Serum calcium is a useful biomarker in predicting clinical progression in nondemented elders.
Cause of coma in a #woman surprised us!
1. 65-year old woman was brought in an #unconscious state to #emergency dept. She sounded normal over phone to her son about 24 hours earlier. She stayed alone, so, further details were not available.

2. Clinical examination revealed an #unconscious patient. She was afebrile; pulse and BP were normal. Pupils were equal and reacting to light. Meningeal signs were absent. She was electively mechanically ventilated in view of her unconscious state.
3. Serum #calcium was high (13 mg/dL). MRI brain was normal. Lumbar puncture was normal. Investigations were done to determine the cause of high calcium. There was no evidence of #endocrine disorder, infection or #Cancer.
#VitaminD level was very high (160 ng/mL).
#VitaminD level was very high (160 ng/mL).
This one found higher total calcium intakes to be associated with a decreased overall colorectal cancer risk in women. 
- The study used data from 1991-2015 from the Nurses’ Health Study II, an ongoing prospective cohort study of female nurses who are followed up every 2 years, and who were aged 25–42 years when the study began in 1989.
- Overall, a strong association was observed for dietary calcium, especially dairy calcium, but not for supplemental calcium.

"it has been suggested that peptides, phospholipids &
mucopolysaccharides released during digestion of muscle tissue contribute in facilitating #iron uptake by mediating the formation of readily absorbable ferric oxohydrate nanoparticles"

But: "the enhancement in nonheme iron absorption is not at all influenced by the presence of heme in the muscle tissue [..] heme-free beef and heme-free chicken protein maintained the enhancing effect on nonheme iron absorption"

Calcified lesions are top of the totem pole of complex PCI
Main armamentaria are balloon-based #IVL & ablation-based (rotational/orbital) techniques, while ancillary tools eg guide extension catheters are useful too. eurointervention.pcronline.com/article/intrav…

Mag ik jullie er nog eens aan herinneren wat vitamine D met mij heeft gedaan. Weg gewrichtspijnen door ontstekingen (dat weet ik omdat ik etoricoxib slikte). @MinVWS en @ministerVWS. Vitamine D is goed voor je. Het is kanker remmend en zorgt er blijkbaar ook voor dat…

We have an exciting new #preprint on @medrxivpreprint ! A novel class of #primaryimmunodeficiency, with the discovery of ITPR3 mutations in two families with combined immunodeficiency. As always, studying #PID teaches us so much about biology! 1/8

The work is based on patients identified @UZLeuven by Rik Schrijvers and @IsabelleMeyts. Both patients had a combined #immunodeficiency with sensitivity to infections, one complicated by peripheral #neuropathy and one by #autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Over to the gene hunters! 2/8
Mutations in ITPR3 were identified by Erika Van Nieuwenhove and Frederik Staels. ITPR3 is part of a #Calcium channel, so we turned to the Serysheva lab @Irina52948708 to predict the impact on structure. Clear as day, the mutations change the charge of the channel. 3/8

This was @osvaldo_rpe's first publication and a pretty cool debut indeed!
Osvaldo is a brilliant scientist that I had the honor to co-advise. No doubt I learned from him way way more than I taught.
A well-deserved first-authorship for an undergraduate student! 👏

We already knew that microglial activation induces mitochondrial fragmentation and that mito morphology correlates with its Ca2+ uptake
But the influence of mito Ca2+ handling on #microglial activation was still unclear...

Out today in @PNASNews we reveal how Ca2+ signals coordinate the flow of milk from secretory alveoli to the nipple during lactation doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… A wonderful team effort by @Stevenson_alex2 @DrYassum @tenealestewart @DrNickCondon @BethLloydLewis @LabEthan @_adamewing 1/
Using volumetric #calcium imaging we show how #oxytocin (released in response to suckling) produces Ca2+ #oscillations in mammary basal cells, causing them to contract and repetitively deform the innermost layer of secretory cells (shown here in red) 2/
We show that Ca2+ release from internal stores and influx across the cell membrane are sufficient for these contractions to occur but that Ca2+ influx is necessary to sustain them 3/

En France, il faut donc aller chercher des renseignements sur des sites végés/véganes alors qu'une information sur les sites institutionnels pourrait empêcher des drames de se produire.

Ladies, there's a little kanyana mineral called #Calcium, make sure you get enough of it, coz deficiency will cause havoc in your body..extreme chaos. From oesteoporosis (brittle bones) dental issues, cataracts (clouding of eyes), cramping &numbness, fatigue, seizures, depression
Ladies, Low #Calcium can also affect the brain. Its a mineral necessary for building bones, enabling blood to clot, muscle contraction, and for our heart to beat. Try to get natural sources in dairy, beans, egg yolk, broccoli, green veges, for us oldies about +800mg a day.
Ladies, PMS symptoms, mood swings depression, forgetfulness, all those might be linked to low #Calcium. This is so important. Take time to read more
