Association of Calcium and Phosphate Levels with Incident Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients with Hypoparathyroidism: A Retrospective Case-Control Study by Elvira O. Gosmanova, Olulade Ayodele, Kristina Chen, Erin E. Cook, Fan Mu, Joshua A. Young, Lars Rejnmark

“…We examined associations between albumin-corrected serum calcium, serum phosphate and calcium-phosphate product levels, and the risk of devloping CKD (defined as ≥2 outpatient estimated glomerular filtration values <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 occuring ≥3 months apart or ≥1 diagnostic code for CKD stages 3–5). Results. Individuals who had ≥67% of albumin-corrected serum calcium measurements outside, above, or below the study-defined range (2.00–2.25 mmol/L [8.0–9.0 mg/dL]) had 3.5-, 2.9-, and 2.7-fold higher odds of developing CKD (adjusted odds ratios [95% CI]: 3.46 [1.82–6.56], 2.85 [1.30–6.28], and 2.68 [1.16–6.15]), respectively, compared with patients who had <33% of albumin-corrected calcium measurements in those ranges. …”

Hooliganism as a problem of public order in the Ukrainian SSR in the early 1950s by V. A. Grechenko

“…The factors of hooliganism had their roots in the years of war and post-war devastation, which were the childhood and adolescence of the majority of those who committed crimes under the relevant article “Hooliganism” of the Criminal Code of the Ukrainian SSR. The complex events of this time certainly affected the psyche and psychology of these people: they saw violence in all its forms, often being brought up in the absence of their father, who was at the front. …”
