Role of single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography in localization of ectopic parathyroid adenoma: a pictorial case series and review of the current literature.

30 Jul 2009 The parathyroid glands are located posterior to the upper and lower poles of the thyroid and are derived from the third and fourth pharyngeal pouches. Usually there are only 2 superior glands, whereas only 40% of patients have their inferior glands ... Read more...

The effectiveness of radioguided parathyroidectomy in patients with negative technetium tc 99m-sestamibi scans.

29 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Many surgeons have shown that radio-guided resection of parathyroid glands can facilitate intraoperative localization in selected patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, especially in the reoperative setting. However, in patients with ... Read more...

Non-inferiority tests for clustered matched-pair data.

28 May 2009 Non-inferiority tests for matched-pair data where pairs are mutually independent may not be appropriate when pairs are clustered. The tests may require an adjustment to account for the correlation within a cluster. We consider the adjusted score and ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hyperparathyroidism'

Definition: A condition of abnormally elevated output of PARATHYROID HORMONE (or PTH) triggering responses that increase blood CALCIUM. It is characterized by HYPERCALCEMIA and BONE RESORPTION, eventually leading to bone diseases. PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is caused by parathyroid HYPERPLASIA or PARATHYROID NEOPLASMS. SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is increased PTH secretion in response to HYPOCALCEMIA, usually caused by chronic KIDNEY DISEASES.
