Teriparatide is a synthetic form of the natural human parathyroid hormone and is used by injection to treat osteoporosis. Teriparatide forms new bone, increases bone mineral density and bone strength, and as a result reduces the chance of getting a fracture(broken bone). Teriparatide can be used by men or postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who are at high risk for having fractures. 2, record 2, English, - teriparatide

La tériparatide appartient à la famille des médicaments appelés agents ostéoformateurs. Ce médicament s'utilise pour traiter les cas d'ostéoporose graves (perte osseuse) des femmes ménopausées. Il s'utilise aussi pour soigner l'ostéoporose qui touche les hommes. On a habituellement recours à la tériparatide lorsque les autres traitements contre l'ostéoporose ont échoué ou ont provoqué des effets secondaires intolérables. 2, record 2, French, - t%C3%A9riparatide

Hyperparathyroidism is overactivity of the parathyroid glands resulting in excess production of parathyroid hormone(PTH). The parathyroid hormone regulates calcium and phosphate levels and helps to maintain these levels. Excessive PTH secretion may be due to problems in the glands themselves, in which case it is referred to as primary hyperparathyroidism and which leads to hypercalcaemia(raised calcium levels). 3, record 4, English, - primary%20hyperparathyroidism

L'hyperparathyroïdie primitive correspond aux cas où une anomalie provoque la production de quantités excessives d'hormone parathyroïdienne. Une tumeur bénigne (adénome) développée dans l'une des glandes parathyroïdes est en cause chez environ 90 % des patients qui souffrent d'hyperparathyroïdie primitive. Dans les 10 % restants, l'excès d'hormone parathyroïdienne provient d'une simple augmentation de volume des glandes. Dans de rares cas, l'hyperparathyroïdie peut être provoquée par un cancer des parathyroïdes. 2, record 4, French, - hyperparathyro%C3%AFdie%20primaire

The condition produced by greatly reduced function of the parathyroids possibly due to autoimmune disease or genetic factors, or by the removal of those bodies. The lack of parathyroid hormone leads to a fall in plasma calcium level-which may result in increased neuro-muscular excitability and, ultimately, tetany-followed by a rise in plasma phosphate level, resulting in a decrease in bone resorption and consequent increased density of bone. 2, record 5, English, - hypoparathyroidism
