Risk Factors for Intraoperative Hypertension during Surgery for Primary Hyperparathyroidism.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and identify risk factors for the occurrence of intraoperative hypertension (IOH) during surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT).

Subjects And Methods: The study included 269 patients surgically treated between January 2008 and January 2012 for pHPT. IOH was defined as an increase in systolic blood pressure ≥20% compared to baseline values which lasted for 15 min.

[Aspirin withdrawal in high risk cardiac patients before the operation of total colectomy with resection of ileum--case report].

Coronary artery disease is one of the risk factors for myocardial infarction and it is present in 40% of patients who are undergoing noncardiac surgery. Despite evidence of the benefit of the antiplatelet therapy in patients at risk of cardiac complications, aspirin treatment is often discontinued before surgery due to the risk of perioperative bleeding. In many studies and meta-analysis it is shown that aspirin withdrawal in perioperative period was associated with three-fold higher risk of major adverse cardiac events.

Risk factors for sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma.

Medullary thyroid cancer is a rare tumour that appears in two distinct forms. The rarer familial form is genetically determined. The sporadic form is more common, but its aetiology has not been defined clearly so far.

[The treatment of subtrochanteric fractures].

Subtrochanteric fractures of the femur have a special place because of a significant number of complications following treatment. Powerful loading forces asymmetrically acting to this bone segment, as well as poor vascularization interfere with bone union. There are basically two current approaches in the fixation of subtrochanteric fractures; the first involves a plate with a compression screw and another one is intramedullary (IM) nail, with two options: centromedullary (standard interlocking femoral nail) and cephalomedullary femoral nail with two modifications, reconstructive and trochanteric.

[Legal aspects of medical errors].

Healing people and medical care are together highly organized technological system with significant expert, ethical and legal regulative. Taking medical care is very sensitive area and it interfears deep into one's integrity, so the law is necessary in this area as a regulator. The aim of work is to show medical errors from legal aspects and clinical practice.

Case-control study of anaplastic thyroid cancer: goiter patients as controls.

Anaplastic thyroid cancer is very serious disease with bad prognosis and unknown etiology. The aim of the study was to test some hypotheses about other factors in addition to goiter related to anaplastic thyroid cancer occurrence. A case-control study was performed during the period 1993-2005.
