Filter by:In this study we aimed to evaluate the effect of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) on bone geometry simultaneously at the tibia and the radius, peripheral bone sites with similar structure but subject to different loading conditions. This evaluation was made by comparing z-scores of bone parameters measured by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT).
Recently, an increase in the prevalence of hyperparathyroidism and hypovitaminosis D in postmenopause women has been occurring in Mexico and the world. Chronic exposure to the parathyroid hormone (PTH) is catabolic for the bone, worsening the state of osteoporosis. However, it is unclear whether these conditions could significantly improve bone mineral density (BMD). In the present work, it was shown that the resolution of hyperparathyroidism in postmenopausal women improves osteoporosis.
This prospective controlled interventional study aims to reveal the diversity of vitamin D metabolism in patients with certain endocrine disorders (Cushing's disease, acromegaly, primary hyperparathyroidism, diabetes mellitus type 1) compared to healthy adults. All patients will receive a single dose (150,000 IU) of cholecalciferol aqueous solution orally. Laboratory assessments including serum vitamin D metabolites (25(OH)D3, 25(OH)D2, 1,25(OH)2D3, 3-epi-25(OH)D3, 24,25(OH)2D3 and D3), free 25(OH)D, vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) as well as serum and urine biochemical parameters will be performed before the intake and on Days 1, 3 and 7 after the administration.
Although some surgeons still consider bilateral neck exploration as the best approach for primary hyperparathyroidism, nowadays most of them perceive the mini-invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) as the best option for patients with concordant preoperative studies. Nevertheless, the consensus is heterogeneous for patients with unclear localisation studies, with some surgeons deeming BNE as mandatory and others suggesting that a mini-invasive approach is still possible if combined with IOPTH monitoring. In our research, we focused on patients with unclear preoperative localisation studies, to better understand the factors that can determine discordant or negative results between US and MIBI scan, in order to choose the best surgical approach and to evaluate the outcomes in this kind of patients.
The leading cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is a solitary adenoma (89%). The treatment of pHPT is generally surgical removal of the overactive parathyroid gland(s). Since a solitary adenoma is the predominant cause, parathyroid surgery is preferably performed through a minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) in which only the suspected adenoma causing the pHPT is resected in a focused manner. To facilitate the performance of a MIP, accurate preoperative imaging is pivotal. This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic performance of 11C-choline PET/CT after prior negative or discordant first-line imaging in patients with pHPT undergoing parathyroid surgery with an optimized imaging protocol.
The radio-guided technique offers both help with in-vivo identification and ex-vivo confirmation of parathyroid adenoma. In-vivo accuracy is most important but its results are not satisfactory. The aim of this study was to evaluate if there is a beneficial effect of individualized timing of surgery using preoperative multi-phase 99mTc-MIBI single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT on in-vivo characteristics of minimally invasive radio-guided parathyroidectomy.
The purpose of this project is to examine, in a non-inferiority study, whether the combination of conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can replace the radiation-based imaging modalities that are currently used to localize pathological parathyroid glands prior to surgical removal in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. This will take the form of a prospective paired cohort study where included patients receive a contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination in addition to the standard preoperative imaging regimen (subtraction scintigraphy with SPECT/CT and conventional ultrasound). Patients act as their own controls as all included patients undergo both CEUS and conventional imaging.
This study describes a single center, randomized, single-blinded clinical trial to assess the clinical benefits of the use of near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) detection with an FDA-cleared device 'Parathyroid Eye (PTeye)' for identifying parathyroid glands (PGs) during parathyroidectomy (PTx) procedures. It compares risk-benefits and outcomes in PTx patients where NIRAF detection with PTeye for parathyroid identification is either used or not used.
The investigators hypothesize that positron emission tomography with fluorocholline (F18-choline PET) will reduce the proportion of unnecessary invasive surgery decisions and that the higher cost of positron emission tomography versus MIBI scintigraphy (Tc99m-sestaMIBI ) will be offset by lower cost in terms of type. surgery performed wisely and complications.
Swallow related quality of life before and after parathyroidectomy will be evaluated in patients with primary hyperparathyridism.
