Background: Hypoparathyroidism is a relatively rare endocrine disorder defined as inadequate parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion leading to a clinical syndrome characterized by hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia. This condition has high morbidity; patients present with a heterogeneous range of emotional, mental, and physical symptoms. We present our experience with PTH transplantation, using parathyroid glands surgically removed in the setting of secondary hyperparathyroidism, with a description of the clinical course, immunosuppressive management, and surgical technique.

Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and tolerability of ESW compared to CCS post-SPK.
Methods: This was a retrospective single-center matched comparison with the International Pancreas Transplant Registry (IPTR).
Background: Pregabalin is a first-line therapy of pain with additional positive effects on the states of depression and anxiety that often occur in patients with chronic pain, thus improving their quality of life.
Objective: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of pregabalin in reducing neuropathic pain and improving quality of life in patients with peripheral and central chronic neuropathic pain in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Also, the aim was to monitor the safety of therapy with pregabalin.
Introduction: This study evaluated the effect of a surgical opioid-avoidance protocol (SOAP) on postoperative pain scores. The primary goal was to demonstrate that the SOAP was as effective as the pre-existing non-SOAP (without opioid restriction) protocol by measuring postoperative pain in a diverse, opioid-naive patient population undergoing inpatient surgery across multiple surgical services.
Methods: This prospective cohort study was divided into SOAP and non-SOAP groups based on surgery date.
Article Synopsis
- Kidney transplant recipients commonly experience pain, often left undertreated, prompting a study on the link between gut microbiome and pain before and after transplantation.
- The study involved 19 living donor kidney transplant recipients and used fecal samples and pain interference data collected before and three months after surgery.
- Findings revealed changes in gut microbiota diversity and significant differences in specific microbial populations associated with pain interference post-transplant, suggesting that gut microbiome composition may influence pain experiences in these patients.
