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.

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 ...

Systematic review of cure and recurrence rates following minimally invasive parathyroidectomy [PDF]
, 2018 Background The majority of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) have a single overactive adenoma. Advances in preoperative imaging and surgical adjuncts have given rise to minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP), with lower complication ...

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hemodialysis (HD) patients are at higher risk of severe COVID‐19 and may exhibit suboptimal vaccine responses. This study evaluates the factors influencing vaccine‐induced immunity in HD patients following the second dose of the Vaxzevria. A total of 276 HD patients and 126 controls were included. Antibody responses were assessed using binding

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 ...

Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy [PDF]
BMJ, 2004 Heralds a new era in the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism Primary hyperparathyroidism is a more prevalent condition than many perceive. The overall incidence is 25 per 100 000 of the United Kingdom's population.1 However, in women over the age of 45 it may affect one in 500, and more than 1% of post-menopausal women have raised serum ...

From Expectations to Experience: A Comparison of Program Director Priorities to Resident Case Logs
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.The present study identified 47 essential otolaryngology procedures via program director surveys and evaluated the extent of resident participation in these cases through ACGME case logs. Results revealed significant variability in surgical experience, with nearly half of these essential procedures being logged fewer than 10 times during residency ...

Robotic transaxillary parathyroidectomy [PDF]
Gland Surgery, 2017 We recently reported on the safety and feasibility of robotic transaxillary approaches for parathyroid surgeries with benefit of avoiding a visible cervical scar. Herein, we demonstrate our technique with utilization of intraoperative nerve monitoring and indocyanine green (ICG) imaging. The patient was discharged a few hours after the surgery.
