Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the ability of the percentage of decrease in serum PTH level in the first 8 h after total thyroidectomy (TT) to predict hypocalcemia requiring Ca supplementation and develop a tool to predict it.
Methods: 97 patients who underwent TT with measurement of preoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were prospectively evaluated 1 and 8 h after TT; postoperative magnesium (Mg2PO) and phosphorus levels were evaluated on the 2nd day after surgery. The percentage of decrease in PTH level 1 h (%dPTH1h) and 8 h (%dPTH8h) postoperatively and predictors of hypocalcemia requiring Ca supplementation were evaluated and an equation was developed to predict this outcome.
Basal or stimulated thyroglobulin in evaluating response to treatment in papillary thyroid carcinoma? A retrospective cohort study.
Hormones (Athens)
March 2024
Objective: It is not clear whether response to initial treatment in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients is best evaluated by measuring thyroglobulin (Tg) in the presence of levothyroxine (BTg) or when stimulated by elevated TSH (STg). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether response to therapy 1 year after initial treatment changes with the use of STg in relation to BTg in PTC patients treated with total thyroidectomy (TT) and radioiodine (I), and, if observed, to assess which response is better associated with clinical course.
Subjects And Methods: This is a retrospective study of 148 PTC patients submitted to TT and I.
Postoperative serum magnesium levels as a predictor for the need for calcium replacement after total thyroidectomy: a prospective study.
Arch Endocrinol Metab
March 2023
Objective: Our aim was to assess the ability of serum magnesium (Mg), measured on the first postoperative day (Mg1PO), to predict the need for calcium (Ca) replacement in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy (TT).
Subjects And Methods: Eighty patients undergoing TT, with Mg1PO and PTH dosage in the first (PTH1h) and eighth (PTH8h) hours after TT, were evaluated for the need for Ca replacement. Data were evaluated by uni/multivariate logistic regression and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve.
Is there a relationship between preoperative cytological diagnosis and evolution in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma? A retrospective study.
Arch Endocrinol Metab
April 2022
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how the preoperative cytological diagnosis using Bethesda classification affects the outcomes of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).
- A retrospective analysis was conducted on 108 DTC patients, categorizing them into three groups based on their cytological results, and comparing their treatment responses and disease-free survival rates.
- Findings revealed no significant differences in patient outcomes across the groups despite variations in the timing of surgeries, suggesting that even with non-malignant cytological diagnoses, the evolution of DTC was unaffected.
Objective: To evaluate the economic and technical viability of the sleep study (type III) in children with adenotonsilar hypertrophy.
Methods: 141 children were submitted to sleep study (type III), aged between three and 11, all with symptoms of OSA. The frequency of failed examinations and a comparison of cost analysis between complete polysomnography were described.
