Skeletal phenotypes in postmenopausal women affected by primary hyperparathyroidism.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
November 2024
Purpose: The current primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) presents as a mild disease. We explored skeletal phenotypes in postmenopausal women affected by PHPT, focusing on fracture prevalence.
Methods: PHPT women were retrospectively evaluated at four Italian centers for osteoporosis management (two centers in Milan, = 244; Cuneo, = 128; Pisa, = 131).
Background: Changes in cortical activation patterns after rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) have been described. However, evidence of these consequences in the early stages following the incident and through longitudinal monitoring is scarce. Further insights could prove valuable in informing evidence-based rehabilitation practices.

Summary Background Data: In 2022, the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) defined post-pancreatectomy acute pancreatitis (PPAP) and recommended a prospective validation of its diagnostic criteria and grading system.
Methods: This was a prospective, international, multicenter study including patients undergoing PD at 17 referral pancreatic centers across Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the United States.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied if using special sutures (triclosan-coated sutures) helps prevent infections and problems after surgery on the belly.
- They found that these special sutures might reduce the chances of infections, but they weren't sure it helped with another issue called abdominal wall dehiscence.
- Overall, while no strong proof was found to say these sutures prevent the belly problem, they do seem to lower infection rates after surgery.
Over the last decades, surgical complication rates have fallen drastically. With the introduction of new surgical techniques coupled with specific evidence-based perioperative care protocols, patients today run half the risk of complications compared with traditional care. Many patients who in previous years needed weeks of hospital care now recover and can leave in days.
