Filter by:Accurate identification and evaluation of the parathyroid glands (PGs) intraoperatively is critical to reduce the incidence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIFI), including the autofluorescence (AF) and indocyanine green fluorescence (ICGF) imaging, is a promising technique to protect PGs. This study aimed to assess whether the combined use of AF and ICGF could reduce the incidence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism and improve the identification and evaluation of PGs during total thyroidectomy.
Enhanced recovery after surgery protocols are evidence-based multidisciplinary programs implemented in the perioperative setting to improve postoperative recovery and attenuate the surgical stress response. They have been used with success after many different types of surgery to improve perioperative patient outcomes. However, evidence on their effectiveness in thyroid and parathyroid surgery remains sparse. Goal of PaThERAS study is to investigate the clinical benefits and cost-effectiveness of enhanced recovery protocols for the perioperative management in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy for large goiters/ cancers and parathyroidectomy for symptomatic hyperparathyroidism in non-day-care setting.
The aim of this study is to determine if fluorescence with or without indocyanine green can facilitate safe and accurate thyroid and parathyroid surgery.
This study is investigating the safety and efficacy of eneboparatide (AZP-3601) in patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism (cHP). During the first 24 weeks of the trial, participants will be randomized to receive eneboparatide or placebo. Study treatment is blinded: patients and doctors will not know which group each patient has been randomized to. All patients will start with a fixed dose of study treatment (eneboparatide or placebo), administered subcutaneously with a pre-filled pen. Study treatment will be individually titrated. After completion of the first 24 weeks, patients will be treated in the open label extension part of the study for 28 weeks. During this phase, all patients (including patients that were in the placebo group) will receive eneboparatide.
This observational study aims to test the level of parathyroid hormone in pregnant women. The main question it aims to answer is: n Pregnant women, are the levels of serum PTH, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus & albumin similar in both preterm and term births?
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common serious complication in the maintenance process of hemodialysis patients, characterized by diffuse or nodular hyperplasia of parathyroid glands. Parathyroidectomy for patients with drug-refractory SHPT is recommended in the clinical practice guidelines of the Global Organization for Improving Prognosis in Kidney Disease (KDIGO) and the Japanese Dialysis Therapy Society (JSDT) . Therefore, accurate localization and detection of parathyroid abnormalities is the key to avoid persistent recurrence of the disease. However, the sensitivity and specificity of the existing ultrasound and 99MTC-MIBI diagnosis are limited. CT examination is radiative and requires iodine contrast medium with nephrotoxicity, which may require timely dialysis and long-term monitoring for hemodialysis patients. 3T MRI has no radiation and does not need to use iodine contrast agent, which can well detect parathyroid lesions . Previous studies have reported that 3T MRI can diagnose primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), but the diagnostic efficacy of SHPT is still unclear. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the preoperative diagnostic value of non-enhanced 3T MRI compared with 4DCT in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism after hemodialysis.
The aim of this study is to compare the bispectral index (BIS) and patient state index (PSI) during general anesthesia using remimazolam. The infusion rate of remimazolam is 6-12mg/kg/h during induction of anesthesia and 1-2mg/kg/h during maintenance of anesthesia. To calculate the fraction, the sum of times when BIS<60 and PSI <50 will be divided by the time from the loss of consciousness during induction of anesthesia to fully awake during emergence. We will compare the fraction of BIS <60 and the fraction of PSI <50 to find if there is some difference between the two depth of anesthesia monitoring devices during remimazolam anesthesia.
This study is limited to conduct in China only. The primary objective is to assess the treatment effect of daily TransCon PTH on serum calcium (sCa) levels within the normal range and stopping from therapeutic doses of active vitamin D (calcitriol) or active vitamin D analogue (alfacalcidol) and calcium at 26 weeks of treatment. All subjects will start with 18 mcg of study drug and will be individually and progressively titrated to an optimal dose over a 26-week double blind period, followed by an open label extension period up to 156 weeks. TransCon PTH or placebo will be administered as a subcutaneous injection using a pre-filled injection pen. Neither trial participants nor their doctors will know who has been assigned to each group. After the 26 weeks, participants will continue in the trial as part of a long-term extension study. During the extension, all participants will receive TransCon PTH, with the dose adjusted to their individual needs.
In the domain of endocrine gland surgery, thyroidectomy is the most common procedure. Patients report moderate to severe discomfort postoperatively, which is induced by a variety of mechanisms, the most common of which are cervical incision and surgical maneuvers. The other two causes are endotracheal intubation and neck overextension. Incisional pain, odynophagia, dysphagia, neck and shoulder pain have all been reported as sources of discomfort.However, it seems that this discomfort has a time limit, with a considerable decrease in pain scores that will last 24 to 36 hours. Pain is felt more profoundly within the first few hours after surgery, peaking at 6 hours, with patients requesting further analgesic medication. Surgical wound infiltration can inhibit this procedure by preventing the alginate signal from reaching the incision site's receptors. According to the multimodal analgesia trends, magnesium sulfate can be added to the ropivacaine solution. Magnesium acts as an NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor antagonist, inhibiting cerebral sensitization to peripheral pain stimuli while reducing pre-existing hyperalgesia. It becomes evident that this combination could contribute to attain the maximum analgesic efficacy. So, if any superiority of ropivacaine plus magnesium sulphate over ropivacaine could be demonstrated this would be very helpful in providing sufficient analgesic effects with a low incidence of adverse effects, while enhancing the option of one day surgery.
