Evaluation of structural and ultrastructural changes in thyroid and parathyroid glands after near infrared irradiation: study on an animal model [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Intraoperative identification of parathyroid glands is a tough task for surgeons performing thyroid or parathyroid surgery, because the small size, color and shape of these glands hinder their discrimination from other cervical tissues.

Indocyanine green angiography-guided thyroidectomy versus conventional thyroidectomy for preserving parathyroid function: study protocol for a randomized single-blind controlled trial

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

Experience of application the 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy for preoperative visualization of parathyroid glands in patients with gyperparathyrosis

Acta Medica Leopoliensia, 2019
Aim. The aim of our study was to explore the possibilities of scintigraphy with 99mTc-MIBI for diagnosis of parathyroid glands disorders and advantages of SPECT/CT technology with 99mTc-MIBI for ectopic glands. Material and Methods. The study involved

Mitochondrial DNA Mutations in Oxyphilic and Chief Cell Parathyroid Adenomas [PDF]

, 2011
Background: The potential pathogenetic significance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in tumorigenesis is controversial. We hypothesized that benign tumorigenesis of a slowly replicating tissue like the human parathyroid might constitute an ...

Preoperative and Intraoperative Methods of Parathyroid Gland Localization and the Diagnosis of Parathyroid Adenomas

Molecules, 2020
Accurate pre-operative determination of parathyroid glands localization is critical in the selection of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy as a surgical treatment approach in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).

Efficacy of Ultrasound-guided Radiofrequency Ablation of Parathyroid Hyperplasia: Single Session vs. Two-Session for Effect on Hypocalcemia [PDF]

, 2020
To evaluate safety and efficacy of one- vs. two-session radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of parathyroid hyperplasia for patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and to compare the outcome of both methods on hypocalcemia.

The relationship between total mass and blood supply of parathyroid glands and their secretion of parathyroid hormone in hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism

Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2016
Characteristics of parathyroid glands usually determined by ultrasonography such as its total weight or volume might be a good indicator for the induction or suppression of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion from these glands.

Persistent secondary hyperparathyroidism caused by parathyromatosis and supernumerary parathyroid glands in a patient on haemodialysis

BMC Nephrology, 2020
Background Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common high-risk factor for mortality in end-stage renal disease, and parathyromatosis and supernumerary parathyroid glands are very rare causes of persistent SHPT.

Parathyroid gland detection using an intraoperative autofluorescence handheld imager – early feasibility study

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
IntroductionParathyroid glands may be compromised during thyroid surgery which can lead to hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia. Identifying the parathyroid glands relies on the surgeon’s experience and the only way to confirm their presence was through ...
