Hyperparathyroidism and Peripheral Arterial Disease
Curr Vasc Pharmacol. 2024 Jan 26. doi: 10.2174/0115701611280905231227045826. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrimary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is presented in various forms, including classic PHPT, characterised by increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, normohormonal PHPT, and normocalcaemic PHPT. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is characterised by increased PTH secretion triggered by factors such as vitamin D deficiency and kidney failure. This review aims to discuss the involvement of hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in atherosclerosis, including peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The increased level of PTH is involved in ...

A family case report of parathyroid carcinoma associated with CDC73 mutation in hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome
ConclusionGenetic testing is strongly recommended in cases of early-onset PHPT, family history, jaw tumors, renal and uterine involvement, atypical parathyroid tumors, and PC. This testing provides valuable information for personalized management, and counseling is available for affected families. (Source: Frontiers in Endocrinology)

Pitfalls of DualTracer 99m-Technetium (Tc) Pertechnetate and Sestamibi Scintigraphy before Parathyroidectomy: Between Primary-Hyperparathyroidism-Associated Parathyroid Tumour and Ectopic Thyroid Tissue
Medicina (Kaunas). 2023 Dec 21;60(1):15. doi: 10.3390/medicina60010015.ABSTRACTDiagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) is based on blood assessments in terms of synchronous high calcium and PTH (parathormone), but further management, particularly parathyroid surgery that provides the disease cure in 95-99% of cases, requires an adequate localisation of the parathyroid tumour/tumours as the originating source, with ultrasound and 99m-Technetium (99m-Tc) sestamibi scintigraphy being the most widely used. We aimed to introduce an adult female case diagnosed with PHP displaying unexpected intra-operatory findings (ectop...

Endoscopic parathyroidectomy versus open parathyroidectomy for patients with refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism: a meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: EPTX and OPTX are both effective methods for refractory SHPT. EPTX had the shorter hospital stay and lower incidences of hoarseness or recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.PMID:38239584 | PMC:PMC10793148 | DOI:10.5114/wiitm.2023.132439 (Source: Videosurgery and Other Miniinvasive Techniques)
