Intramuscular injection of parathyroid autografts is a viable option after total parathyroidectomy.

Introduction: Surgical transplantation of parathyroid gland into muscle is an established technique after total parathyroidectomy for renal hyperparathyroidism. However, no study has examined the role of injecting parathyroid tissue in these patients. We compared the outcome of surgical transplantation of parathyroid glands by implantation ("implant") versus that of intramuscular injection ("inject").

Acute abdominal pain secondary to retroperitoneal bleeding from a giant adrenal lipoma with review of literature.

Adrenal lipomas are rare, non-functioning benign tumours, which are primarily detected during autopsy or imaging, as asymptomatic incidentalomas. Occasionally, they can present with abdominal pain due to their large size. Imaging studies help to determine the origin, volume, composition of the lesion and presence of bleeding.

Laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy for bilateral cortisol-secreting adenomas.

Bilateral cortisol-secreting adenomas are a rare cause of Cushing's syndrome. We report a case of a 35-year-old woman who presented with ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome and bilateral adrenal adenomas. Adrenal venous sampling confirmed both adenomas to be hyper-secreting cortisol.

Well-differentiated epithelial thyroid cancer management in the Asia Pacific region: a report and clinical practice guideline.

Context: Thyroid cancer is among the 10 most common malignancies in populations in the Asia Pacific region, where access to various relevant health care resources varies widely.

Objective: An expert consensus conference was held to define regional patterns of practice and guidelines for optimal management of well-differentiated epithelial thyroid carcinomas.

Results: Practice patterns vary from country to country, as would be anticipated form their variety of ethnic and racial populations, health care systems, economies, and cultures.
