Intraoperative identification of parathyroid glands by autofluorescence on total thyroidectomy – Does it really reduces post-operative hypocalcemia?

Surgery in Practice and Science, 2020
Background: Intraoperative identification of parathyroid glands which remains largely dependent on the surgeon's expertise, is a major challenge in endocrine surgery and the most efficient way to reduce postoperative hypocalcemia and its important ...

Vitamin D Pretreatment to Prevent the Risk of Postoperative Hypocalcemic Complications After Parathyroidectomy in Primary Hyperparathyroidism: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Parathyroidectomy is the treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism, yet postoperative hypocalcemia and hungry bone syndrome remain common. Vitamin D deficiency has been suggested as a modifiable risk factor, but evidence supporting preoperative supplementation is inconsistent.

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Postoperative Hypoparathyroidism and the Viability of the Parathyroid Glands During Thyroidectomy [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2017
Objectives To prevent hypoparathyroidism after thyroidectomy, preservation of the parathyroid glands and their vascularity are essential. The aim of this study was to determine the association between postoperative parathyroid function and the viability ...

Assessment of Thyroid Uptake Ratio Values in a Normal Population. Establishment of Normal Reference Values for 99mTc‐Pertechnetate Thyroid Uptake in an Australian Population

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
An Australian first, this study examined normal reference ranges for 99mTc‐pertechnetate thyroid uptake. Through a retrospective and prospective analysis, this study found a new reference range of 0.4%–2.4%. The findings suggest that locally derived reference values may differ from historical data and highlight the importance of region‐specific ...

Parathyroid Adenoma: is Sestamibi scintigraphy mandatory? [PDF]

, 2013
Localization of parathyroid adenoma using 99mTc scintigraphy is the standard of care. However, of late, ultrasound has been employed to this end with increasing frequency.1, 2, 3 The employment of intra-operative PTH estimation (IOPTH) has further ...

ACR‐TIRADS Institution and Effect on Thyroid Surgeries in Veterans: A 10‐Year Retrospective Study

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Following analysis of the adoption of ACR TI‐RADS at the VA Northern California Healthcare System, the number of thyroid ultrasounds and FNAs increased substantially, while the total number of thyroid surgeries remained relatively stable. Surgical practice trends towards more selective and less‐invasive management, with fewer total thyroidectomies for ...
