Salmon-calcitonin nasal spray in Paget's disease of bone: preliminary results in five patients. 1985

J Y Reginster, and A Albert, and P Franchimont

The effectiveness of Synthetic Salmon Calcitonin (SSCT) administered as a nasal spray was assessed via clinical, biological, and radiological variables in 5 Pagetic patients during a 6 months course therapy, the results show that intranasal administration does not decrease the activity of SSCT in Paget's disease of bone.

D010001	Osteitis Deformans	A disease marked by repeated episodes of increased bone resorption followed by excessive attempts at repair, resulting in weakened, deformed bones of increased mass. The resultant architecture of the bone assumes a mosaic pattern in which the fibers take on a haphazard pattern instead of the normal parallel symmetry.

D002116	Calcitonin	A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.
