Maintenance of Normal Serum Calcium Level in the Hyperprolactinaemic Rat

For this study, calcium level in the blood was studied in 20 normal individuals between the ages of 20 and 25 years to find out the normal serum-calcium level in them in order that this finding might serve as a control. It was found to vary from 8·9 to 11·0 mg. per cent. (see Table I).

Aprospective case control study was conducted in Department of Pediatrics, Newborn ward of S.C.B. Medical College & Hospital and SVPPGIP, Cuttack, Odisha from September 2017 to September 2019 by taking 202 newborns having history and clinical features of moderate & severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and they were evaluated for their serum calcium and blood glucose levels. In the present study mean serum calcium level was found to be low in babies with moderate birth asphyxia and severe birth asphyxia as compared to control. Again it was also found to be low in severe birth asphyxia as compared to moderate birth asphyxia. The percentage of hypo calcemic babies was found to be more in babies with moderate birth asphyxia and severe birth asphyxia as compared to control. Again it was also found to be more in severe birth asphyxia as compared to moderate birth asphyxia. In this study percentage of hypoglycemic babies was found to be more in babies with moderate birth asphyxia and severe birth asphyxia as compared to control. Again it was also found to be more in severe birth asphyxia as compared to moderate birth asphyxia. All the comparison was signicant statistically(P<0.05). This study showed that risk of hypocalcemia and hypoglycemia increased with severity of birth asphyxia. The present study showed that survival was more with normal serum calcium level as compared to low serum calcium level (95.5% vs 74.7%) whereas fatal outcome was more with low serum calcium level as compared to normal serum calcium level (22.2% vs 2.3%). Low serum calcium level was associated with more fatal outcome. The difference was statistically signicant as P< 0.05.The present study showed that survival was more with normal blood glucose level as compared to low blood glucose level (92.5% vs 44.6%) whereas death was more with low blood glucose level (48.2% vs 6.2%). Low blood glucose level was associated with more fatal outcome. The difference was statistically signicant (P< 0.05).Although the study result has resemblance to previous studies, as there is no such type of study has been done previously in this institution, where patient burden is much more higher than resources and where emphasis on prevention, this study will establish an cost effective management protocol of birth asphyxia babies in my institution.

BACKGROUND: Second generation of antipsychotic medications is widely administrated in Indonesia and there is a distinctive difference in plasma calcium level in those receiving risperidone and olanzapine. According to several studies, decreased bone density is one of the deleterious effects affecting schizophrenic individuals receiving risperidone and olanzapine. AIM: The objective of the study was to determine the difference in serum calcium levels between men with schizophrenia who treated with olanzapine and risperidone at Prof. Dr. M Ildrem Psychiatric Hospital, Medan. METHODS: This is an experimental pre-test and post-test that compares two groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. Eligible subjects are those who meet our inclusion criteria in the following; age between 15 and 35 years old, total score of PANSS between 90 and 150, and normal serum calcium level. The subjects of the study were 60 men with schizophrenia, namely 30 who received olanzapine and 30 who received risperidone. The sampling method is non-probability sampling with a consecutive sampling type. RESULTS: There was a decrease in the total serum calcium level with the antipsychotic risperidone and olanzapine after 4 weeks, and a higher decrease occurred in the risperidone treatment group compared to olanzapine (p = 0.023). CONCLUSION: There was a significant decrease in serum calcium levels among men with schizophrenia who received risperidone therapy compared with those who received olanzapine therapy between the beginning and the end of week 4. It is expected that clinicians can consider giving antipsychotic therapy olanzapine in people with schizophrenia with low calcium levels.

ABSTRACT In addition to the previously described permeability disturbance in the blood aqueous barrier of the eye, measured as an increase of the aqueous flare, a series of transitory systemic effects have been recorded following the subcutaneous injection of synthetic α-MSH: marked increase of the free fatty acids in plasma, decrease in the serum calcium level, decrease in the blood pressure, increase in the skin temperature, increased frequency and diminished amplitude of respiration, presence of slow waves in the EEG. There is a correlation between the magnitude of the aqueous flare increase and the increase of free fatty acids in plasma and also between the aqueous flare and the minimum serum calcium level.
