PTHrP is a protein that is structurally similar to parathyroid hormone (PTH) but is produced by some tumor cells. It acts on the PTH receptor, leading to increased calcium levels in the blood, similar to PTH. HHM is most often associated with overproduction of PTHrP by tumors, causing hypercalcemia without the typical elevation in PTH levels seen in primary hyperparathyroidism.

ProsthodonticsIn the design of cast circumferential clasps, the retentive terminal should ideally point away from the gingiva (toward the occlusal surface) to allow for proper engagement and retention without causing trauma to the gingival tissue.

Pulsus paradoxus is an exaggerated decrease in systolic blood pressure during inspiration, which can occur in patients with airflow obstruction conditions such as emphysema and asthma. These conditions can lead to increased intrathoracic pressure swings during respiration, which affects the cardiac output and arterial pulse amplitude.

State PSC PYQBone remodeling is a continuous, lifelong process that involves the removal (resorption) of old or damaged bone by osteoclasts and the formation (deposition) of new bone material by osteoblasts. This coupled activity is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the skeleton and adapting to mechanical stress (Wolff's Law). While intramembranous and endochondral ossification are the two main processes of initial bone formation during development, the ongoing changes and reshaping of the bone structure after its initial formation, including during craniofacial development, occur through this dynamic balance of resorption and deposition.
