Abstract Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism is autonomous production of parathyroid hormone. After removal of adenoma, one of the surgeons concern is postoperative hypocalcaemia. There is no precise method to determine if patients have hypocalcaemia postoperatively. The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between parathyroid adenoma weights, postoperative serum calcium and...

PURPOSE To analyze postoperative outcomes of prostate surgery, resected specimen weight is commonly used. The difference between the preoperative calculated transitional zone volume and actual enucleated specimen weight following holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is reported at over 20%. The reason for this difference is unclear. We assessed the association of volume of the pros...

Anthropometric factors have been associated with colorectal cancer and adenomas but with conflicting results in women or regarding adenoma characteristics. The authors aimed to explore associations between anthropometric factors (height, weight, body mass index, waist and hip circumferences, and weight changes) and adenoma risk. They analyzed the 17,391 women of the French Etude épidémiologique...

thirty one patients with biologic and clinical diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism were submitted to thalium-technetium scan prior to exploration of the neck. scan findings were compared with the pathologic results. surgical exploration of the neck showed a parathyroid adenoma in 24 patients, parathyroid carcinoma in one patient, normal parathyroid in another patient and parathyroid hyperplasia in...

INTRODUCTION Symptomatic adrenal adenoma usually presents with systemic symptoms. Depending on the function of the adenoma, the patient can present with pheochromocytoma-like symptoms; primary hyperaldosteronism and Cushing syndrome (weight gain, weakness, depression, and bruising). CASE REPORT A 41 year-old lady presented with multiple metatarsal and phalangeal fractures of the both feet wit...

One adenoma and one adenocarcinoma of the islet cells and one adenoma of the exocrine pancreas were found in 3 out of 15 rats given a single dose (500 to 1500 mg/kg body weight) of pyrrolizidine alkaloids from Amsinckia intermedia Fisch and Mey (Boraginaceae), tarweed, a plant known to cause livestock losses from liver damage in the United States. Among rats treated with Heliotropium supinum L....

Objective: To study the relationship of intraoperative parathormone (PTH) decrease levels with solitary parathyroid adenoma (SPA) weight, diameter, and volume in patients primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Method: Prospectively evaluation consecutive undergoing parathyroidectomy (PTx) diagnosis PHPT related to SPA. Perioperative biochemical parameters patients; volume, weight diameters were re...
