  Abstract Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in outpatient settings, with an incidence in women of reproductive age of 4.7-6.2 cases per 100,000 persons. When untreated in pregnant women, PHPT can lead to maternal and fetal complications. The authors present a case of a patient with a pre-pregnancy hyperparathyroidism diagnosis: she had worsening symptoms during pregnancy, so was referred for surgery due to failure of clinical treatment to keep the disease under control. Clinical issues, laboratory findings, and relevant therapeutic approaches are discussed.

Abstract This mini review looks at the affective bonds and the cognitive benefits at the basis of the relationship between human beings and Nature, as a solid starting point for an environmental education program aimed to foster naturalist intelligence. Evidences from studies of years of joint research in evolutionary biology and environmental psychology fields show a plausible overlapping between the constructs of Biophilia, Nature fascination and affiliation to life, and the measurable constructs of perceived restorativenesss and connection to Nature. Here we propose a theoretical model showing the role these constructs may play on the development of naturalist intelligence and eventually on pro-environmental behavior, i.e. the final aim of environmental education. In addition, a fresh speculation on the biophilic quality of the school environment as a way to sustain environmental education is proposed. Biophilia, as the evolutionary legacy, and naturalist intelli...
