Article Synopsis
- The study examined how long it takes for parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels to return to normal after parathyroid surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism, evaluating data from 186 patients over five years.
- Out of the final group of 176 patients, 26.1% had elevated PTH levels post-surgery despite normal calcium levels, with a median time to normalization of 6 months.
- Findings suggest that high preoperative PTH levels can predict postoperative normocalcaemic hyperparathyroidism, while vitamin D and creatinine levels don’t appear to impact the normalization timeline.
Background: Despite increases in knowledge and advances in the management of acute mesenteric ischemia syndrome (AMI), there have been no significant improvements in mortality in recent years. The objective of this study was to assess the changes in clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes in patients who underwent AMI over time.
Methods: A total of 323 consecutive patients who underwent acute mesenteric ischemia at our institution between 1990 and 2015 were examined.
