Hypocalcemia and Sepsis
Hypocalcemia varies from an asymptomatic biochemical abnormality to a life-threatening disorder, depending on the duration, severity, and rapidity of development. Hypocalcemia is caused by loss of calcium from or insufficient entry of calcium into the circulation. Hypoparathyroidism is the most common cause of hypocalcemia and often develops because of surgery in the central neck requiringContinue reading “Hypocalcemia and Sepsis”
Gut Microbe Movements Regulate Host Circadian Rhythms
Summary: Study exposes a new dynamic between the mammalian organism and the microbes that live inside their gut. Source: Cell Press. Even gut microbes have a routine. Like clockwork, they start their day in one part of the intestinal lining, move a few micrometers to the left, maybe the right, and then return to theirContinue reading “Gut Microbe Movements Regulate Host Circadian Rhythms”
