Parathyroid Autofluorescence—How Does It Affect Parathyroid and Thyroid Surgery? A 5 Year Experience

Molecules, 2019
Injury to parathyroid glands during thyroid and parathyroid surgery is common and postoperative hypoparathyroidism represents a serious complication. Parathyroid glands possess a unique autofluorescence in the near-infrared spectrum which could be used ...

Cancer Risk in Marfan Syndrome: A Swedish Population‐Based Cohort Study

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
The cancer risk in Marfan syndrome, an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder, largely remains to be explored. In this population‐based matched cohort study of 1544 Swedish patients, the overall cancer risk in adults with Marfan syndrome showed no significant increase, except for the risk of endocrine tumours with a nearly threefold increase ...

Analysis of α-Klotho, Fibroblast Growth Factor-, Vitamin-D and Calcium-Sensing Receptor in 70 Patients with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2013
Background/Aims: Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is known as a very common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease, and G-protein-coupled calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), Vitamin D receptor (VDR) and Fibroblast growth factor receptor ...

The 9th Edition of the UICC TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours: Updates and Rationale for Change

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The standard for assessing and recording the extent of the tumour, a necessity for most malignancies, is the Tumour Node Metastases (TNM) classification. The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) TNM committee has defined this since the early 1950s.

MORPHOLOGICAL AND HISTOLOGICAL STUDIES ON PARATHYROID GLAND OF ADULT MALE GOAT (CAPRA HIRCUS)

Slovenian Veterinary Research, 2018
The parathyroid glands are essential endocrine glands as they produce hormones that maintain calcium within the normal level in blood through secretion of parathormone. The removal of parathyroid glands leads to fatal levels of hypocalcemia.

Atypical presentations of parathyroid gland pathology: A pictorial review

European Journal of Radiology Open, 2019
Primary hyperparathyroidism is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is in this day and age, an eminently treatable condition which relies heavily on preoperative imaging to localise enlarged parathyroid glands.

Near-infrared auto-fluorescence spectroscopy combining with Fisher’s linear discriminant analysis improves intraoperative real-time identification of normal parathyroid in thyroidectomy

BMC Surgery, 2020
Background To evaluate the efficacy of a sensitive, real-time tool for identification and protection for parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy. Methods Near-infrared (NIR) auto-fluorescence was measured intraoperatively from 20 patients undergoing ...

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 ...

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 ...
