The results of a US study on parathyroid glands, performed in 75 hemodialysed patients are reported. The correlation between morphological features of the glands, biochemical and radiological pattern of secondary hyperparathyroidism is stressed. The results show a significant link between gland volume and hematic level of PTH: less interesting appears the correlation with radiological pattern of uremic osteodystrophy.

Hyperparathyroidism is a rare entity in pediatrics. It is defined as the increased production of parathyroid hormone. It may be due to a primary defect of the parathyroid glands (primary hyperparathyroidism) or to a compensatory parathyroid hormone production to correct hypocalcemia states of various origins (secondary hyperparathyroidism).

Purpose: To describe diagnostic approaches and management strategies for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and recent fracture in England.
Methods: We developed a survey based on a patient at high fracture risk and a new diagnosis of probable PHPT. The survey was circulated among 50 secondary care professionals identified by the Society for Endocrinology Calcium and Bone special interest group.

Background: A shift toward outpatient parathyroidectomy was seen in the early 2000s. Recent trends, especially for secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism, have not been described. This study evaluates temporal trends in same-day, overnight, and inpatient parathyroidectomy by surgical indication.

Objective: Surgery and thermal ablation are both viable treatment modalities for patients diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism (HPT). However, the comparative efficacy of these approaches remains uncertain. The objective of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical complications and therapeutic strategies in managing HPT.
