The Control of Cell Division During the Immune Response
… in response to antigen was largely unaffected by parathyroidectomy. The immune response of rats was impaired by parathyroidectomy. Primary antibody responses to heterologous erythrocytes were slightly lower than normal animals as were the numbers of haemolytic plaques which develop in the spleen. …

The impact of vascular calcification among dialysis dependent South African CKD patients. A five year follow up study. Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, ethnic variation and hemodynamic correlates
… cause of death). Non-Blacks had higher parathyroidectomy rates than Blacks with 9/30 cases compared to 2/36 (p=0.036). After adjustment for parathyroidectomy at follow up, the odds ratio of having abdominal vascular calcification score of ≥1 amongst non-Blacks was 8.6-fold greater …

Pre-operative localization and surgical outcomes for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT): An 11-year review at a South African hospital
… definitive cure. Broadly, three techniques of parathyroidectomy exist: open bilateral neck exploration and minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, which is subdivided into open focused approaches and endoscopic focused approaches. A focused parathyroid gland exploration guided by pre-operative …

A population based study of primary hyperparathyroidism in Tayside, Scotland
… adverse outcomes in untreated patients. Parathyroidectomy normalises calcium and parathyroid hormone, as well as reducing the risks of adverse outcomes. Conclusions: Based on the study findings, this thesis concludes that although PHPT has become a mild stable condition, the increased …

Initial experience of intraoperative identification of parathyroid glands with elastic scattering spectroscopy
BACKGROUND: Postoperative hypoparathyroidism due to damage to the parathyroid glands during a thyroidectomy is a well-known surgical complication. The current gold standard intraoperative method for identifying parathyroid glands is surgical judgment; other methods are limited in both their …

Modulation Of Renin Secretion By Renal Cortical Interstitial Calcium
<p>Renin is secreted from the juxtaglomerular (JG) cells of the afferent arteriole of the kidney, and is the rate-limiting enzyme of the renin-angiotensin system. Renin is quantified <i>in vivo</i> as plasma renin activity (PRA). Acutely elevating plasma calcium decreases PRA, but the mechanisms by …

Chirurgische Therapie des primären Hyperparathyreoidismus : Untersuchungen zu Effizienz und Sicherheit der offenen minimal invasiven Parathyreoidektomie
Minimal invasive chirurgische Techniken zur Therapie des primären Hyperparathyreoidismus (pHPT) konkurrieren mit dem bisherigen Standardverfahren, der bilateralen zervikalen Exploration, sofern eine lokalisierte Eindrüsenerkrankung vorliegt. Zusätzlich vorhandene, operationspflichtige …
