Spectrum of renal dysfunction after curative parathyroidectomy in symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism.

Objective: The long-term renal consequences of curative parathyroidectomy (PTX) in symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (sPHPT) are not well characterized. We aimed to assess renal glomerular and tubular functions in an sPHPT cohort at ≥1 year's follow-up.

Design: Retrospective-prospective study.

Percentage arterial enhancement on 2D CT in the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism: A prospective validation study and potential pitfalls.

Background: Parathyroid lesions are identified by subjective enhancement and washout patterns on computed tomography (CT). We have previously proposed "percentage arterial enhancement" (PAE) as an objective index and now aim to validate its performance prospectively.

Methods: Dual-phase CT was performed in 40 consecutive primary hyperparathyroidism patients.

Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in Asian Indian Children and Adolescents with Primary Hyperparathyroidism.

Childhood and adolescent primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a very rare disease. Data on its molecular genetics are scarce. We performed a retrospective analysis (January 2000-January 2021) to determine the deleterious germline variants and genotype-phenotype correlations in children and adolescents < 20 years diagnosed with PHPT from a single referral center.

Clinical Spectrum of Adrenal Cushing's Syndrome and the Caution for Interpretation of Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone: A Single-Center Experience.

Unlabelled: To describe the differences in presentation, biochemistry, and radiological evaluation of various etiologies of adrenal Cushing's syndrome (CS) from a single center. To emphasize caution for interpretation of plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), as a spuriously unsuppressed ACTH level by immunometric assay may lead to therapeutic misadventures in adrenal CS.

Design:  Retrospective, single-center, observational study.

Preoperative prediction of parathyroid carcinoma in an Asian Indian cohort.

Background: Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) requires preoperative prediction for appropriate surgical management. Differentiation from symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (sPHPT) cohort is difficult.

Methods: Patients with sPHPT from a tertiary-care center, Western India, including Cohort-A (n = 19 [10/M; 9/F]) with PC and Cohort-B (n = 93 [33/M; 60/F] with benign parathyroid lesions) were compared to derive predictors for differential diagnosis.

Exendin-4-based imaging in endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia cohort: A tertiary Endocrine centre experience.

Context: Insulinoma needs accurate preoperative localization for minimally invasive surgery. Exendin-4-based imaging has shown promising results.

Objective: To evaluate performance parameters of exendin-4-based imaging in insulinoma localization and compare with other imaging modalities.

Paratesticular Paraganglioma.

Paratesticular paragangliomas are a rare occurrence. We present the case of a 43-year-old man who presented with paresthesia and paraparesis and was found to have pathologic fracture involving D1 vertebra as a manifestation of metastasis from a nonsecretory right paratesticular paraganglioma.
