as evidenced by microbiological culture and sensitivity reports from samples taken from patients blood, sputum,urine and body fluids.

as evidenced by invasive blood pressure monitoring during ICU stay.

How long the patient will stay in Hospital

It will be assessed by rising serum creatinine level and decreasing urine out put per hour.

as evidenced by neurological deficit and CT sacn/MRI findings

It will be assessed by decreasing hemoglobin levels and endoscopic findings.

parathyroid hormone (1-34)

This is a dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerable dose of Parathyroid Hormone-related Protein, PTHrP, or Parathyroid Hormone, PTH, that can be given safely over one week in healthy African-American volunteers. The investigators plan to infuse low doses of intravenous PTHrP or PTH to determine if it leads to a sustained and progressive suppression of bone formation as occurs in humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM) or an increase in bone formation as occurs in hyperparathyroidism (HPT). Additionally, the investigators will assess the direct influence of PTHrP and PTH on vitamin D metabolism, markers of bone turnover, and fractional excretion of calcium.
