#rickets is a disease that causes #softbones in children and affects their #musculoskeletal growth; it leads to complications such as #bowedlegs, #knockknees, and even #scoliosis in the #spine. #VitaminD3 is essential for both a growing fetus and the child after it's born. While adults who are deficient do not typically develop rickets, their bones may become softer, a condition known as #osteomalacia. If vitamin D3 levels remain low, this can lead to #osteoporosis. #angstromminerals

I'm excited to share that my first research paper, "Neurosurgical Presentations of Osteomalacia: An Analysis of 100 Cases," is now live as a preprint! πŸ“„πŸ”

Your feedback is invaluable for improving this study and My future research work.

Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way! πŸ™

A special mention to @BorisBarbour and @SRLevine
for their support and guidance

Neurosurgical Presentations of Osteomalacia: An Analysis of 100 Cases

Objectives: To assess the neurosurgical presentation of patients suffering from osteomalacia, a potentially preventable and treatable metabolic disease that can mimic neurological discogenic disorders. Study Duration: May 2023 to November 2023, covering...

Do you see patients with MSK symptoms and unexplained low serum phosphate? Do you routinely measure serum phosphate in patients with muscle and bone complaints, gait disturbances and so forth?
