A population based study of primary hyperparathyroidism in Tayside, Scotland
Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder with increasing prevalence, but the majority of cases (over 85%) are now perceived to be mild and remain untreated. Objectives: The main focus of this thesis is to provide an accurate update of the epidemiology of PHPT …

Pre-operative localization and surgical outcomes for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT): An 11-year review at a South African hospital
Introduction: Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is characterized by hypersecretion of PTH leading to hypercalcaemia with successful surgery being the only definitive cure. Broadly, three techniques of parathyroidectomy exist: open bilateral neck exploration and minimally invasive …

Mathematical modelling of bone remodelling at the cellular level and the interaction between myeloma cells and the bone microenvironment
… postmenopausal osteoporosis, hypothyroidism and primary hyperparathyroidism. Due to the large number of bone cell types, stages of differentiation, and the numerous growth factors and cell to cell interactions involved, our current understanding of bone remodelling and the coupling between …

Calcium/Phosphate Regulation: A Control Engineering Approach
… loss of bone mineral density), which arises from primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) – hyper secretion of PTH. Existing in silico models of Ca homeostasis in humans are often cast in the form of a single monolithic system of differential equations and are not easily amenable to the sort of …

Nuclear-Medical Methods for Diagnosing of Abnormal Parathyroid Glands in Primary and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism // Нуклеарно-медицински методи за диагностика на абнормни паращитовидни жлези при първичен и вторичен хиперпаратиреоидизъм
Първичният хиперпаратироидизъм (ПХПТ) се дължи на свръхпродукция на паратироиден хормон (ПТХ) от една или повече абнормно променени паращитовидни жлези и води до развитие на хиперкалциемия. Доскоро считан за рядко заболяване, в последните години с навлизане в клиничната практика на рутинно …

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 …
