Does a novel mutation in CLDN16 result in rare familial hypomagnesaemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis in a Chinese family?
We detected a novel mutation in CLDN16 for the first time. The clinical and genetic findings from this study will help to expand the understanding of this rare disease, FHHNC.
Early tracheotomy in elderly patients is associated with less ventilator-associated pneumonia, more frequent intubations, less total admission time, and a trend toward lower mortality.
