Parathyroid failure is the most common complication after total thyroidectomy but factors involved are not completely understood. Accidental parathyroidectomy and parathyroid autotransplantation resulting in fewer than four glands remaining situ, intensity of medical treatment postoperative hypocalcaemia may have relevant roles. The aim this study was to determine relationship between number situ thyroidectomy.Consecutive patients undergoing first-time were studied prospectively, recording...
Hypocalcaemia is the most common adverse effect after total thyroidectomy. It recovers in about two-thirds of patients within first postoperative month. Little known, however, recovery parathyroid function (RPF) this time period. The aim present study was to investigate RPF with protracted (>1 month) hypoparathyroidism thyroidectomy.Cohort prospective observational study.Adult undergoing thyroidectomy for goitre or thyroid cancer. Cases were studied during following months. Time and...
Abstract Introduction The daily reevaluation of the need to continue with postoperative antibiotic treatment in intra-abdominal infection is one strategies reduce resistance our environment, since it avoids selection resistant bacterial strains. Thus, limiting duration useful deleterious effects antimicrobials on patient, avoiding adverse derived from them. Material and methods An observational, single-center retrospective study was proposed result not having strict guidelines for case...
Background: Retrospective studies have shown that delayed high-normal serum calcium and detectable iPTH are independent variables positively influencing outcome of prolonged parathyroid failure after total thyroidectomy (TT). The aim the present study was to examine prospectively ability these two predict permanent hypoparathyroidism in patients under replacement therapy for postoperative hypocalcemia. Methods: Prospective observational multicenter undergoing TT followed by (serum Results:...
Abstract Background Staged total thyroidectomy has been advised to prevent bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis when loss of the signal from neural monitoring is observed after dissection initial thyroid lobe. This supported by expert opinion but hard evidence lacking. A lost can return during surgery or, even if it persists, its positive predictive value only in range 60–70 per cent. The aim present study was investigate clinical outcome patients whom performed following first...
Parathyroid failure is the most common complication after total thyroidectomy but permanent impairment of parathyroid function unusual. Limited data available assessing long-term follow-up, quality life and complications occurring in patients with hypoparathyroidism (PH). We aimed to assess incidence derived from PH status, their influence on perceived by its relation standard medical treatment calcium salts active vitamin D analogues.Cross-sectional observational study consecutive...
Female gender, particularly of a young age, has been reported as risk factor for hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy. There are no studies, however, addressing specifically the influence women's age and menstrual status on postoperative parathyroid function.Cohort study consecutive patients undergoing thyroidectomy benign goiter between 2000-2017, excluding those with associated hyperparathyroidism, reoperation or conservative procedures. Prevalence (s-Ca <8 mg/dL at 24 hours), protracted...
Adipose tissue from pheochromocytoma patients acquires brown fat features, making it a valuable model for studying the mechanisms that control thermogenic adipose plasticity in humans. Transcriptomic analyses revealed massive downregulation of splicing machinery components and regulatory factors browned patients, with upregulation few genes encoding RNA-binding proteins potentially involved regulation. These changes were also observed cell culture models human adipocyte differentiation,...
Undescended glands are a rare cause of primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT), but they more common, however, among patients with recurrent HPT or those who have undergone failed initial cervical exploration. The currently development precise noninvasive imaging techniques has improved the results preoperative diagnosis these ectopic lesions.The operative reports undergoing parathyroidectomy at our institution were reviewed to identify an undescended parathyroid gland adenomas....
Permanent hypoparathyroidism is an uncommon disease resulting most frequently from neck surgery. It has been associated with visceral calcifications but few studies have specifically this in patients post-surgical hypoparathyroidism. The aim of the present study was to assess prevalence basal ganglia and carotid artery long-term post-thyroidectomy compared a control population.Case-control study.A cross-sectional review comparing 29 consecutive permanent postoperative followed-up tertiary...
Parathyroid failure after total thyroidectomy is the commonest adverse event amongst both children and adults. The phenomenon of late recovery parathyroid function, especially in young patients with persistent hypoparathyroidism, not well understood. This study investigated differences rates adults factors influencing this.A joint dual-centre database who underwent a between 1998 2018 was searched for defined as dependence on oral calcium vitamin D supplementation at 6 months. Demographic,...
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) metastasizes to the regional lymph nodes and lungs, liver bones. Only one case of recurrence MTC involving upper gastrointestinal tract has been reported so far. We describe a 38-year-old woman with MTC, who developed an esophageal submucosal after two previous local recurrences treated surgically ethanol injection. After resection right lateral wall, calcitonin dropped by 60% showed doubling time >1 year. cannot rule out role deep injection in involvement...
