While most patients will not present with acute symptoms of hypercalcemic crisis, practitioners must take the necessary steps to ensure maintenance of safe serum calcium levels prior to surgical cure. The management of post-operative hypocalcemia likewise requires diligence and knowledge of treatment ...
In severe renal hyperparathyroidism (RHPT), whether administrating Cinacalcet before total parathyroidectomy can reduce post-operative hypocalcemia remains unclear. We compared post-operative calcium kinetics between those who took Cinacalcet before surgery (Group I) and those who did not (Group II). Me...

Aim: to determine the association pre-operative vitamin D3 levels with post-operative hypocalcemia in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy. Material and methods: A Prospective study was conducted in the Department of General Surgery, Patna Medical College and Hospital, Patna, Bihar, India for 17 ...
In subject area: Medicine and Dentistry The concept of preemptive analgesia is the idea that therapies can be applied prior to a noxious event in order to prevent or reduce the magnitude and duration of postinjury pain and/or the development of chronic pain. ...
A use case scenario is illustrated as a schematic diagram in Fig.1. Top half of the figure represents the current method used during parathyroidectomy surgery where significant time is expended in sample transit and receiving results to confirm PTH levels determining successful operation. The proposed...

Results: Our results strongly predict that serum Vitamin D levels and intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels are diagnostic indicators of transient hypocalcemia in post thyroidectomy patients. Conclusion: Our study shows: Pre-operative vitamin D is an early indicator of hy...
Background: Tertiary hyperparathyroidism is a significant issue in renal failure patients and some require surgery to control their serum calcium. A number of imaging techniques are used to localise the position of the parathyroid glands prior to surgery....
The most common occurrence of hypocalcemia was noted on 1st post-operative day where 52 (37.14%) cases of hypocalcemia were reported. Conclusion: In a country with prevalent calcium and vitamin D deficiency the addition of these supplements one week prior to total t...
