Metastatic calcification occurs in normal tissues as the result of increased serum calcium levels (hypercalcemia). Anything that increases the serum calcium level can lead to calcification in inappropriate places such as the lung, renal tubules, and blood vessels. What are the major causes of hypercalcemia? a. Diabetes mellitus and Paget disease b. Hypoparathyroidism and vitamin D intoxication c. Hyperparathyroidism and immobilization d. Immobilization and hypoparathyroidism

A tumour on the parathyroid glands will result in excessive production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) called hyperparathyroidism. PTH has a significant role in calcium homeostasis. Hyperparathyroidism will result in all the following EXCEPT Select one: a. the increase in blood calcium levels b. the breakdown of bones and teeth to release calcium into the blood c. the deposition of calcium into bones and teeth, making them strong and healthy d. the increase in absorption of calcium ions by kidney nephrons, leading to kidney stones

A patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus is admitted to the medical unit with pneumonia. The patient's oral antidiabetic medication has been discontinued and the patient is now receiving insulin for glucose control. Which of the following statements best explains the rationale for this change in medication? acute illness like pneumonia will cause increased insulin resistance b. stress-related states such as infections increase risk of hyperglycaemia c. insulin administration will help prevent hypoglycaemia during the illness d. infection has compromised beta cell function so the patient will need insulin from now on

Provide foods with limited amounts of essential fatty acids and proteins to limit growth b. Feed on high in cellulose diet which takes longer for intestinal flora to ferment c. Provide free access to diet with highly digestible protein, fatty acids, and carbohydrates to stimulate maximal growth d. Feed diet containing proteins, fatty, acids, and vitamins in controlled amounts daily to maintain moderate growth rate
Distress has several important impacts on homeostasis of calcium, which would include: Group of answer choices Reduced uptake of calcium from the intestines, even if Vitamin D was high Reduced blood flow through the kidneys and thus less ability for PTH to stimulate activation of Vitamin D Reduced blood flow through the skin and thus reduced ability to activate Vitamin D within the skin Reduced ability for PTH to bind to its receptors on osteoclasts, and thus decreased ability to liberate calcium from bones ( explain all question with proper answer and type the answer ) .
