Calcitonin and vitamin D are hormones that regulate calcium levels. Calcitonin is produced by the thyroid and decreases blood calcium levels by inhibiting bone resorption and kidney reabsorption. Vitamin D promotes intestinal calcium absorption and is obtained through sun exposure, diet, and supplements. Both work antagonistically with parathyroid hormone to maintain appropriate calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood and bones.

the powerpoint help you to know the benefits of vitamin D3 and how we can use it to help the body to improve the immunity system and how we can measure it using some devices
The word "vitamin" comes from the Latin word “vita”, means "life". Vitamins are organic components in food that are required in very small amounts for growth and for maintaining good health. Vitamins are chemicals found in very small amounts in many different foods Vitamins and minerals are measured in a variety of ways. The most common are:
mg – milligram (a milligram is one thousandth of a gram)
mcg – microgram (a microgram is one millionth of a gram. 1,000 micrograms is equal to one milligram)
IU – international unit (the conversion of milligrams and micrograms into IU depends on the type of vitamin or drug)

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Basavarajeeyam is an important text for ayurvedic physician belonging to andhra pradehs. It is a popular compendium in various parts of our country as well as in andhra pradesh. The content of the text was presented in sanskrit and telugu language (Bilingual). One of the most famous book in ayurvedic pharmaceutics and therapeutics. This book contains 25 chapters called as prakaranas. Many rasaoushadis were explained, pioneer of dhatu druti, nadi pareeksha, mutra pareeksha etc. Belongs to the period of 15-16 century. New diseases like upadamsha, phiranga rogas are explained.
2. CALCITONIN
• Calcitonin is a 32 amino acid peptide hormone secreted by parafollicular cells
(also known as C cells) of the thyroid gland in humans. It acts to reduce blood
calcium (Ca2+), opposing the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH).
• Calcitonin secretion is stimulated by increases in the serum calcium
concentration and calcitonin protects against the development of
hypercalcemia. Calcitonin is also stimulated by gastrointestinal hormones such
as gastrin.
3.
4. Conti…….
• In general the effects are opposite to that of PTH. Calcitonin is used to control hypercalcemia,
Paget's disease, metastatic bone cancer and osteoporosis and to increase bone mineral
density.
• The hormone participates in calcium (Ca2+) and phosphorus metabolism. In many ways,
calcitonin counteracts parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitamin D.
• More specifically, calcitonin lowers blood Ca2+ levels in two ways:
• Major effect: Inhibits osteoclast activity in bones, which break down the bone.
• Minor effect: Inhibits renal tubular cell reabsorption of Ca2+ and phosphate, allowing them to
be excreted in the urine
5. Diagnosis
• Calcitonin assay is used in identifying patients with nodular thyroid
diseases. It is helpful in making an early diagnosis of medullary
carcinoma of thyroid. A malignancy of the parafollicular cells, i.e.
Medullary thyroid cancer, typically produces an elevated serum
calcitonin level. Prognosis of MTC depends on early detection and
treatment.
6. Treatments
• Calcitonin affecting the spine.
• Calcitonin can be used therapeutically for the treatment of hypercalcemia or
osteoporosis. In a recent clinical study, subcutaneous injections of calcitonin have
reduced the incidence of fractures and reduced the decrease in bone mass in
women with type 2 diabetes complicated with osteoporosis.
• Subcutaneous injections of calcitonin in patients suffering from mania resulted in
significant decreases in irritability, euphoria and hyperactivity and hence calcitonin
holds promise for treating bipolar disorder.
7. VITAMIN D
• Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for increasing
intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphate, and many other
biological effects. In humans, the most important compounds in this group are
vitamin D3 (also known as cholecalciferol) and vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol).
8. SOURCE
• The major natural source of the vitamin is synthesis of cholecalciferol in the
lower layers of skin epidermis through a chemical reaction that is dependent on
sun exposure (specifically UVB radiation).Cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol can
be ingested from the diet and from supplements. Only a few foods, such as the
flesh of fatty fish, naturally contain significant amounts of vitamin D. Mushrooms
exposed to ultraviolet light contribute useful amounts of vitamin D. Dietary
recommendations typically assume that all of a person's vitamin D is taken by
mouth, as sun exposure in the population is variable and recommendations
about the amount of sun exposure that is safe are uncertain in view of the skin
cancer risk.
9. DEFICIENCY OF VITAMIN D
• Vitamin D deficiency is found worldwide in the elderly and remains
common in children and adults.[27][28][29] Deficiency results in
impaired bone mineralization and bone damage which leads to bone-
softening diseases,[30] including rickets in children and osteomalacia in
adults. Low blood calcifediol (25-hydroxy-vitamin D) can result from
avoiding the sun.[31] Being deficient in vitamin D can cause intestinal
absorption of dietary calcium to fall to 15%.[20] When not deficient, an
individual usually absorbs between 60 and 80%.[2
10. Dietary intake
• Various institutions have proposed different recommendations for the amount of
daily intake of vitamin D. These vary according to precise definition, age,
pregnancy or lactation, and the extent assumptions are made regarding skin
synthesis of vitamin D Conversion: 1 µg (microgram) = 40 IU (international unit).
11. Mechanism of action
• Vitamin D is carried in the bloodstream to the liver, where it is converted into the prohormone
calcifediol. Circulating calcifediol may then be converted into calcitriol, the biologically active
form of vitamin D, in the kidneys.
• Whether it is made in the skin or ingested, vitamin D is hydroxylated in the liver at position 25
(upper right of the molecule) to form 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (calcifediol or 25(OH)D).[3]
This reaction is catalyzed by the microsomal enzyme vitamin D 25-hydroxylase, the product
of the CYP2R1 human gene, and expressed by hepatocytes.[182] Once made, the product is
released into the plasma, where it is bound to an α-globulin carrier protein named the vitamin
D-binding protein.[183]
12. • Calcifediol is transported to the proximal tubules of the kidneys, where it is hydroxylated
at the 1-α position (lower right of the molecule) to form calcitriol (1,25-
dihydroxycholecalciferol, 1,25(OH)2D). The conversion of calcifediol to calcitriol is
catalyzed by the enzyme 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1-alpha-hydroxylase, which is the
product of the CYP27B1 human gene. The activity of CYP27B1 is increased by
parathyroid hormone, and also by low calcium or phosphate.
• Following the final converting step in the kidney, calcitriol is released into the circulation.
By binding to vitamin D-binding protein, calcitriol is transported throughout the body,
including to the classical target organs of intestine, kidney and bone. Calcitriol is the most
potent natural ligand of the vitamin D receptor, which mediates most of the physiological
actions of vitamin D.
13. • In addition to the kidneys, calcitriol is also synthesized by certain other
cells including monocyte-macrophages in the immune system. When
synthesized by monocyte-macrophages, calcitriol acts locally as a
cytokine, modulating body defenses against microbial invaders by
stimulating the innate immune system.[
14. Covid - 19
• Vitamin D deficiency has been shown to potentially increase the risk of severe respiratory
infections. This has caused a renewed Interest of this potential in 2020 during the COVID-
19 pandemic.
• The major complication of COVID-19 is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS),
which may be aggravated by vitamin D deficiency, an association that is not specific to
coronavirus infections. A number of trials in different countries are underway to address
the potential for the use of vitamin D, and its metabolites such as calcifediol, for the
prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infections. A meta-analysis of three studies on
the effect of oral vitamin D supplementation indicated a lower intensive care unit (ICU)
admission rate (odds ratio: 0.36) compared to those without supplementation, but without
a change in mortality.
