Symptomatic hypocalcemia in primary health care: review and clinical case report

Introduction: Hypoparathyroidism is a cause of hypocalcemia and its main etiology is inadvertent exeresis/injury of the parathyroids during total thyroidectomy.

The influence of pavement degradation on population exposure to road traffic noise

Road pavement develops distresses over time, which increase tyre/road noise. This work focuses on the impact of these distresses on environmental noise. To calculate the environmental noise, a method to transform Close ProXimity (CPX) measurement results into the required input for traffic noise models was defined and used. The tyre/road noise levels were determined by the CPX method for three types of pavement...

Infections by Brucella and by Borrelia are rare causes of chronic arthritis, yet are diagnosis to consider, even when the clinical manifestations...
