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 ...

The evolution of parathyroidectomy failures
Surgery, 1999 Reported operative failure rates for primary hyperparathyroidism range from 5% to 10%. Failure has been due to multiglandular disease, ectopic parathyroid glands, errors in frozen section, and missed diagnoses. Recently, our operative approach has changed from bilateral cervical exploration to direction by preoperative localization and intraoperative ...

Kinetics of parathyroid hormone after parathyroidectomy in chronic hemodialysis patients
Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2015 Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a common complication in chronic renal failure. The treatment in some cases requires parathyroidectomy. The kinetics of the parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels after surgery helps to evaluate the efficacy of ...

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 ...

Prevalence of Esophageal Webs in Patients Undergoing Direct Laryngoscopy
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.PES webs may be more common than what is traditionally cited in the literature. The prevalence of PES webs in this retrospective cohort study was found to be 34%. Webs may be more likely in patients with a history of irradiation to the head and neck, and only one‐third of patients with a PES web in our cohort had dysphagia symptoms.

Comparison of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy under local anaesthesia and minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism: A cost analysis [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) origins from a solitary adenoma in 70-95% of cases. Moreover, the advances in methods for localizing an abnormal parathyroid gland made minimally invasive techniques more prominent.
