Preoperative localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands with 4D-CT

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2015
Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is almost exclusively the result of a solitary parathyroid adenoma. In most cases, the affected gland can be surgically removed, but precise preoperative imaging is essential for adenoma localization prior to surgical ...

Prognosis and Phenotypes of Advanced Head and Neck Carcinoma Associated With Hypercalcemia

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Hypercalcemia is the most common metabolic disorder in cancer, affecting 10%–20% of patients with advanced malignancies, including squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC), though its prognostic significance remains poorly studied.

Parathyroid hormone-related peptide stimulates intestinal strontium absorption in Camels (Camelus dromedarius) [PDF]

, 2008
The present work was undertaken to evaluate the stimulatory effect of Parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) on the intestinal calcium (Ca) absorption using stable strontium (Sr) as a surgoate marker in 10 Camels.

Instant Intraoperative Histopathological Assessment of Fresh Parathyroid Tissue: Higher Harmonic Generation Microscopy as a Potential Alternative to Frozen Section

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hypoparathyroidism is a complication associated with significant morbidity and results from inadvertent removal of the parathyroid during thyroid surgery. Therefore, intra‐operative identification of parathyroid tissue is essential to minimize the risk of hypoparathyroidism.

Objective assessment of functional and motor-cognitive outcomes among asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism patients undergoing parathyroidectomy using wearable technologies: a pilot study towards better informed clinical decision-making [PDF]

, 2017
For the past 40 years, most patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) have presented with the asymptomatic form of PHPT. Despite the dominance of the asymptomatic PHPT phenotype, current National Institutes of Health (NIH) indications for ...

Preoperative Vitamin D Supplementation to Reduce Hypocalcemia Following Total Thyroidectomy: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to determine whether preoperative supplementation of vitamin D reduces the incidence of hypocalcemia following total thyroidectomy. Methods Conducted in conformity with the PRISMA statement, a systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCT) was performed assessing postoperative hypocalcemia and

DCAN: Deep Contour-Aware Networks for Accurate Gland Segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The morphology of glands has been used routinely by pathologists to assess the malignancy degree of adenocarcinomas. Accurate segmentation of glands from histology images is a crucial step to obtain reliable morphological statistics for quantitative diagnosis.

Technetium-99m Sestamibi Scintigraphy Pattern in Patients with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism [PDF]

, 2010
complications of end stage renal disease (ESRD). We aimed in this investigation to explore the role of Technetium-99m sestamibi (99mTc MIBI) scintigraphy in the pre-operative assessment of refractory hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis (HD) patients ...
