General MedicineParathyroid hormone (PTH) is the primary hormone that regulates calcium homeostasis in the body. It is secreted by the parathyroid glands and acts on the kidneys, bones, and intestines to maintain serum calcium levels within a narrow range. While vitamin D and calcitonin also play roles in calcium metabolism, PTH is the major player in this regulatory process.

General MicrobiologyThe typical clinical features of typhoid fever can be listed as follows:
1. High fever, bradycardia, and a palpable spleen: Typhoid fever is
characterized by a sustained high fever, often reaching 103°F to 104°F (39°C to
40°C). Bradycardia, or a slower than normal heart rate, occurs in some cases.
The spleen may also become enlarged and palpable due to the infection.
2. Rash, joint pain, and respiratory symptoms: Some patients may develop a rash
known as "Rose spots," which are small, red spots on the abdomen and chest.
Joint pain can occur, and respiratory symptoms may include a dry cough.
3. Diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting: Diarrhea and severe abdominal
cramps are common in the early stages of typhoid fever, which can lead to
significant dehydration and discomfort for the patient.
4. Headache, photophobia, and neck stiffness: Headaches and sensitivity to light
(photophobia) are often present, and in severe cases, neck stiffness can occur
due to inflammation of the meninges, known as meningitis.
