* A study presented 11 patients who underwent NO-TOTVET for goiter at a hospital in Kolkata between November 2022 and July 2023, showcasing successful operations performed through small oral ports without converting to open surgery.
* The average age of patients was 37.5 years, with surgeries taking about 139 minutes and requiring only 1.5 days of hospital stay; minor complications included two cases of seroma and one case of transient nerve
To investigate the clinical application value of the new tracer mitoxantrone hydrochloride in imaging of cervical lymph nodes and identifying of parathyroid, recurrent laryngeal nerve during thyroid cancer radical surgery. A prospective controlled study was conducted between January 2022 and April 2024 at Tianjin First Central Hospital, recruiting 180 patients with thyroid cancer, including 54 males and 126 females, aged from 26 to 69 years. The patients were randomly divided into three groups: the mitoxantrone hydrochloride lymph node tracing group (MHI group), the nanocarbon lymph node tracing group (nanocarbon group), and the control group without lymph node tracers, with 60 cases in each group.

We describe a unique case of 27-year-old male with Gitelman syndrome (GS) co-exist with pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B (PHP1B). The patient presented with a 5-year history of seizures, tetany, and numbness of the extremities. Further examinations showed recurrent hypokalemia, inappropriate kaliuresis, hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and elevated PTH levels.
Type 1 Bartter syndrome is characterized by low potassium levels and metabolic alkalosis due to mutations in the SLC12A1 gene, while hypocalcemia is typically rare except in type 5.
Two siblings with type 1 Bartter syndrome exhibited recurrent severe hypocalcemia, presenting symptoms like numbness and shortness of breath after physical stress.
Their severe hypocalcemia was reversible with treatment, and it was found that they were in a parathyroid hormone (PTH)-resistant state, indicating that PTH resistance combined with stress might lead to unnoticed severe hypocalcemia in Type 1 and 2 Bartter syndrome patients.
