After a total parathyroidectomy, well-established protocols for the cryopreservation of parathyroid tissue and for the delayed autograft of this tissue exist, especially in cases of secondary hiperparathyroidism (HPT) or familial or sporadic parathyroid hyperplasia. Although delayed autografts are effective, the published success rates vary from 10% to 83%. There are numerous factors that influ...

Partial monosomy 10p is a rare chromosomal condition and a significant proportion of patients show features of DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) and velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS). A critical haploinsufficiency region for DGS/VCFS was defined on 10p (DGCR2). We performed molecular deletion analysis of two further patients with partial monosomy 10p, who showed hypoparathyroidism, deafness, and renal dys...

Hypoparathyroidism is the most common cause of symmetric calcification of the basal ganglia. Herein, a case of primary hypoparathyroidism with severe tetany, rhabdomyolysis, and acute kidney injury is presented. A 26-year-old male was admitted to the emergency clinic with leg pain and cramps, nausea, vomiting, and decreased amount of urine. He had been treated for epilepsy for the last 10 years...

Barakat syndrome, also known as HDR syndrome (hypoparathyroidism, deafness and renal dysplasia), is a rare autosomal dominant disorder, secondary to mutation of the GATA3 gene which is located at chromosome 10p. The GATA3 protein is one of the transcription factors which play an essential role in the embryonic development of the parathyroids, inner ears and kidneys. We report a Chinese patient ...

results the findings indicated that ucoc%/oc% was positively and significantly associated with percentage change in max force production during elbow extension (β = 0.28, p = 0.034), however, all other associations were non-significant. background muscles and bones are interconnected. recent studies suggest that undercarboxylated osteocalcin from bone may affect muscle mass and strength. there ...

Background Hyperparathyroidism is an almost universal feature of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome. We present a systematic review and meta-analysis the postoperative outcomes patients undergoing initial operative treatment primary hyperparathyroidism complicating 1. Methods A comprehensive literature search was performed with priori defined exclusion criteria for studies comparing t...
