Left ventricular dysfunction in Klinefelter syndrome is associated to insulin resistance, abdominal adiposity and hypogonadism.

abstract：CONTEXT:Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common condition and results in hypercalcaemia, especially in older women. Thus, it is critical to obtain a robust estimate for the upper limit of the reference interval for albumin-adjusted serum calcium in the general population. The current reference interval in use in the UK...

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Non-tumour causes of hyperprolactinaemia, including prolactin-elevating drugs, must be excluded. There is a general view that such drugs are unlikely to raise serum PRL above 3000 mU/I, but the literature is confusing.
