After spending much of his career conducting extensive research on vitamin D metabolism, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s researcher Dr. Glenville Jones has been featured in the Canadian Institutes of Health Research카지노 게임 컬렉션s (CIHR) 카지노 게임 컬렉션celebrating the impact of health research카지노 게임 컬렉션 series.
The CIHR write-up focuses on the impact of Dr. Jones카지노 게임 컬렉션 research on the idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia (IIH) 카지노 게임 컬렉션 a rare disease that causes the build-up of calcium in the kidneys and eventually leads to kidney stones in the patient.
Along with two German pediatric nephrologists, Dr. Jones showed that one of the main causes of IIH is a genetic mutation of the enzyme CYP24A1 that prevents the breakdown of vitamin D. Since this discovery, there is now an increased ability to diagnose, manage and treat hypercalcemia in children and adults.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Most hypercalcemia patients eventually develop kidney stones, and everyone knows that the passing of kidney stones is one of the most painful experiences a human can suffer,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Jones, a biochemistry professor in the School of Medicine. 카지노 게임 컬렉션A few IIH patients will go on to suffer from permanent kidney damage so it카지노 게임 컬렉션s important that research in this area continues to develop.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The write-up in the CIHR-IMHA special publication is a wonderful recognition of the impact of our basic science work on a clinically-relevant problem.

CIHR카지노 게임 컬렉션s special publication was created as a way to celebrate the value and impact of research in areas such as musculoskeletal health, arthritis, skin diseases and oral health conditions, as well as to demonstrate how important funding is to healthcare.
Dr. Jones acknowledges the benefits CIHR카지노 게임 컬렉션s special publication will have on his research.
