The origin of the parathyroid gland [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 It has long been held that the parathyroid glands and parathyroid hormone evolved with the emergence of the tetrapods, reflecting a need for new controls on calcium homeostasis in terrestrial, rather than aquatic, environments. Developmentally, the parathyroid gland is derived from the pharyngeal pouch endoderm, and studies in mice have ...

Autotransplantation of Inferior Parathyroid glands during central neck dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma: A retrospective cohort study [PDF]
, 2014 Introduction: The management of inferior parathyroid glands during central neck dissection (CND) for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remains controversial. Most surgeons preserve inferior parathyroid glands in situ. Autotransplantation is not routinely

Total Parathyroidectomy with Subcutaneous Parathyroid Forearm Autotransplantation in the Treatment of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism: A Single-Center Experience. [PDF]
, 2018 Introduction Secondary hyperparathyroidism is common in chronic kidney disease. Parathyroidectomy is indicated in refractory hyperparathyroidism when medical treatments and so the parathyroid hormone levels cannot be lowered to acceptable values without

TA-Net: Topology-Aware Network for Gland Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Gland segmentation is a critical step to quantitatively assess the morphology of glands in histopathology image analysis. However, it is challenging to separate densely clustered glands accurately. Existing deep learning-based approaches attempted to use contour-based techniques to alleviate this issue but only achieved limited success. To address this

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

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.

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.

Generalized-Ensemble Simulations of the Human Parathyroid Hormone Fragment PTH(1-34) [PDF]
, 2003 A generalized-ensemble technique, multicanonical sampling, is used to study the folding of a 34-residue human parathyroid hormone fragment. An all-atom model of the peptide is employed and the protein-solvent interactions are approximated by an implicit solvent. Our results demonstrate that generalized-ensemble simulations are well suited to sample low-
