1. Where heavy phosphorus excretion accompanies egg laying in the pullet the excretion of ammonia nitrogen is simultaneously increased. It is probable that this indicates an excretion of excess phosphate in the urine as ammonium phosphate.2. It is shown that heavy phosphorus excretion does not accompany egg laying provided the calcium carbonate intake is sufficiently high.3. The origin of the excess of phosphorus excretion is discussed in relation to calcium-phosphorus metabolism.4. Pullets on a ration containing 5 per cent, calcium carbonate laid eggs containing a higher percentage of P2O5 than pullets receiving a similar ration but from which the calcium carbonate supplement was omitted.5. Some evidence is put forward in support of the view that current standards pitch the requirements of digestible protein for egg production at too high a level.

The case of a 50-year-old woman with cerebral meningioma and concomitant parathyroid adenoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma is presented. She complained of neurological symptoms characterized by right hemiparesis and dysarthria. Cerebral CT and MRI scans revealed a left voluminous frontal parasagittal lesion with the characteristics of a meningioma. Routine laboratory analysis revealed altered values of calcium-phosphorus metabolism. Intravenous infusion of saline solution at 0.9% of NaCI resulted in a reduction of serum ionized calcium. A left craniotomy was performed and a fibroblastic meningioma of 5 cm in diameter was removed. Even though the patient's clinical condition was good, a calcium-phosphorus metabolism test confirmed high plasma levels of ionized calcium and parathyroid hormone. Thyroid and parathyroid ultrasonography revealed multinodular goiter and a parathyroid lesion confirmed by 99mTc-TCO4/99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy. A left superior parathyroidectomy and total thyroidectomy were performed. Histological examination revealed a parathyroid adenoma and a small papillary carcinoma of 0.4 cm in the right thyroid lobe. As far as we know, this patient is the third case of meningioma associated with parathyroid adenoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma described in the literature.

ABSTRACT The effect of antithyroid treatment on the disturbed calcium-phosphorus metabolism in hyperthyroidism was studied in 16 patients. Elevated serum concentrations and urinary excretions of calcium and phosphorus were almost normalized 4 weeks after the start of medical treatment. Serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone was decreased in the hyperthyroid state and became normal after medical treatment. Serum alkaline phosphatase levels were elevated throughout the study with an increase to a maximum peak after 8 weeks of antithyroid treatment. Urinary hydroxyproline excretion was initially markedly increased and fell rapidly during therapy. The observed changes suggest decreased bone resorption and increased bone formation with deposition of bone mineral after antithyroid treatment. Alterations in the serum albumin concentration during the investigation period influenced the total serum calcium concentration. Using albumin adjusted serum calcium values no hypocalcaemia was found during medical treatment or after a subsequent subtotal thyroidectomy.
