Normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism is common among fragility fracture patients. While it is commonly associated with vitamin D deficiency and chro...

Background: Sport results might be influenced by advances in sport science leading to better training, but also by new knowledge of human physiology and endocrinology. Doping and its detection as well as impact of regulations like testosterone limitations for women category eligibility might be reflected in top sport performances.Objectives: We aimed to retrospectively analyse factors influencing top performances in short, middle, and long-distance runni...
