Preservation of parathyroid glands during thyroid and neck surgery [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 The parathyroid glands are situated in close proximity to the thyroid gland. They have an important endocrine function maintaining calcium and phosphate homeostasis in the body by the secretion of parathormone (PTH), which is responsible for this ...

Indocyanine green angiography-guided thyroidectomy versus conventional thyroidectomy for preserving parathyroid function: study protocol for a randomized single-blind controlled trial [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 IntroductionAngiography with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence performed before thyroidectomy would allow identification of the vascularization of parathyroid glands, maximizing efforts for preserving functioning glands intraoperatively. The rationale

Parathyroid Glands in Reptiles [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1967 The parathyroid glands in reptiles generally develop from the third and fourth pharyngeal pouches. In lizards and crocodiles, usually only one pair of glands (from the third pouch) persists, while turtles and snakes generally retain both pairs of glands in adults.

Embryology of the Parathyroid Glands. [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2018 The parathyroid glands are essential for regulating calcium homeostasis in the body. The genetic programs that control parathyroid fate specification, morphogenesis, differentiation, and survival are only beginning to be delineated, but are all centered around a key transcription factor, GCM2.
