November 2019
Background: Few centers in Brazil perform parathyroidectomy (PTX) for recalcitrant secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) generating a long queue. There is little data regarding prioritize criteria besides chronological order and survival.
Objectives: To determine the difference of clinical and laboratory factors between PTX patients and those who remained in the line despite the need for surgery and their survival.
Objective:: to evaluate the benefit of parathyroidectomy in patients on hemodialysis, regarding nutritional and biochemical statuses, body composition and the health-related quality of life.
Methods:: this is a longitudinal study involving 28 hemodialysis adult patients with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism evaluated before and one year after surgery. Inclusion criteria: parathyroid hormone levels exceeding ten times the upper normal range and end-stage renal disease in hemodialysis program.
Purpose: Analyze the morphological and structural outcomes of a patch of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene in the treatment of an iatrogenic injury of the common bile duct.
Methods: In Group 1 (Sham), 7 dogs underwent 3 laparotomies with intervals of 30 days between them. In Group 2, 10 dogs underwent transient common bile duct obstruction.
Mycobacterium massiliense BRA100 strain recovered from postsurgical infections: resistance to high concentrations of glutaraldehyde and alternative solutions for high level disinfection.

Purpose: To evaluate the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of GTA against these microorganisms and alternative disinfectants for high-level disinfection (HLD).
Methods: Reference mycobacteria and clinical M. massiliense strains were included in this study.
