Handling of induced hypercalcaemia in hyperthyroidism.

The mean serum calcium of 13 hyperthyroid patients was found to be significantly higher than that of controls matched for sex and age, though none of the patients' values were outside the normal range. Nevertheless, these patients responded very promptly to hypercalcaemia (induced by an intravenous calcium load), and their serum calcium returned to normal much more rapidly compared with the matched controls. There was also increased retention of intravenous calcium load, possibly owing to increased calcitonin production. Calcium infusion may be useful in treating bone diseases in which increased bone resorption exceeds bone accretion.

Values for tissue magnesium as a guide in detecting magnesium deficiency.

A large-scale survey of the normal magnesium content of various human tissues was carried out to facilitate clinical detection of magnesium deficiency, especially occult deficiency.A review of the literature favours the magnesium content of skeletal muscle as the most reliable index of the body's store of magnesium. There is a significant difference (P < 0.001) in both the serum and erythrocyte magnesium levels between normal pregnant women in the third trimester and the average normal population. The reason for this difference is discussed.
