Hypercalcemia of malignancy and new treatment options - 0 views

  • Hypercalcemia of malignancy occurs as the result of direct bone metastasis and via humoral mechanisms such as parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D mediated pathways
  • ectopic secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been implicated
  • Hypercalcemia due to osteolytic bone lesions is common in multiple myeloma, leukemia, and breast cancer
  • ...22 more annotations...
  • Humoral hypercalcemia is predominant in squamous cell, renal cell and ovarian cancers, and lymphomas are associated with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D mediated hypercalcemia
  • 20% of cases of hypercalcemia of malignancy and is frequently encountered in multiple myeloma, metastatic breast cancer, and to a lesser extent in leukemia and lymphoma
  • Physiologic bone turnover requires the complementary activity of osteoblasts – mesenchymal stem cell-derived bone-forming cells – and bone-resorbing cells of monocyte and macrophage lineage known as osteoclasts
  • In local osteolytic hypercalcemia, the RANKL/RANK interaction results in excessive osteoclast activation leading to enhanced bone resorption and thus hypercalcemia
  • In addition, osteoclast activation is also mediated by malignancy secreted cytokines, including interleukin-1, initially termed “osteoclast stimulating factor”
  • Macrophage inflammation protein 1-alpha (MIP 1-alpha)
  • hypercalcemia is through extra-renal 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol) production
  • 1% of cases
  • increased production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D occurs nearly exclusively in Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma with case reports of the same in ovarian dysgerminoma
  • 1-α-hydroxylase in the kidney, a process regulated by PTH
  • in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D induced hypercalcemia, malignant cells likely recruit and induce adjacent macrophages to express 1-α-hydroxylase, converting endogenous calcidiol into calcitriol.31 Calcitriol then binds to receptors in the intestine leading to heightened enteric calcium reabsorption with resultant hypercalcemia
  • this mechanism of disease is best conceptualized as an absorptive form of hypercalcemia
  • Ectopic production of PTH by malignant cells has been described in a handful of cases involving cancer of the ovary and lung, as well as neuroendocrine tumors and sarcoma
  • primary hyperparathyroidism and malignancy comprising nearly 90% of cases of hypercalcemia
  • an initial panel consisting of PTH, PTHrP, phosphorus, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D should be obtained
  • Lymphoma, a hypercalcemia due to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D mediated pathways, is implied by elevations in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D without concomitant elevations in 25-hydroxyvitamin D. In such cases, PTH is low and PTHrP undetectable
  • Treatment of hypercalcemia of malignancy is aimed at lowering the serum calcium concentration by targeting the underlying disease, specifically by inhibiting bone resorption, increasing urinary calcium excretion, and to a lesser extent by decreasing intestinal calcium absorption
  • mildly symptomatic disease
  • marked symptoms
  • hydration with isotonic fluid (if admitted), avoidance of thiazide diuretics, and a low-calcium diet
  • denosumab
  • Denosumab is an RANKL antibody that inhibits osteoclast maturation, activation, and function

Statins use and coronary artery plaque composition: Results from the International Mult... - 0 views

  • Statin use is associated with an increased prevalence and extent of coronary plaques possessing calcium
  • As compared with individuals not taking statins, those taking statins possessed a significantly higher prevalence of obstructive CAD, as well as higher numbers of vessels with obstructive CAD
  • non-calcified plaques (NCP)
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • non-calcified (NCP), mixed (MP), or calcified (CP) plaque
  • statin use was each associated with a significantly higher prevalence of NCP, MP and CP
  • statin use was associated with increased presence of MP [odds ratio (OR) 1.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.27–1.68, p < 0.001] and CP (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.36–1.74, p < 0.001], but not NCP
  • statin use was associated with increasing numbers of coronary segments possessing MP and CP but not associated with increasing numbers of coronary segments possessing NCP
  • North America, Europe and Asia
  • A total of 6673 individuals (2413 on statin therapy and 4260 not on statin therapy) comprised the study population
  • we identified a strong association of statin use to coronary artery plaque features
  • statin use was associated with a differentially increased prevalence and extent of MP and CP
  • one potential unifying hypothesis is that rather than regression of coronary plaque, statins may contribute to the conversion of coronary plaque constituents, perhaps by conversion of NCP to plaque possessing calcium
  • Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA)
  • Statin use was associated with a higher frequency of severe coronary artery stenoses as well as numbers of coronary vessels with obstructive CAD
  •  
    Study finds statin therapy associated with increased coronary plaque with calcium.

    The androgens testosterone and DHT elicit vasodilation via calcium and potassium channel activation.  The vasodilatory effect of the androgens is through, in part, due to K activated Ca channels.  Also of note, DHT had the same effect and DHT cannot be aromatized to estrogen.
