In recent years, predictive methods for assessing the preservation of the parathyroid glands have been actively implemented. The article describes the first experience of evaluating the blood supply of the parathyroid glands by quantitative determination of the indocyanine green (ICG) accumulation index in real time in 6 patients before and after a thyroidectomy with central neck lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid cancer. Intraoperative fluorescent angiography was performed by using domestic equipment with a fluorescent module, as well as by using a domestic medication of ICG. Intraoperative values of the ICG accumulation index were compared with the levels of ionized calcium and parathyroid hormone perioperatively. No clinical manifestations of hypocalcemia were detected in the postoperative period. The obtained results showed the informativeness of the numerical assessment of the intensity of ICG fluorescence. The evaluation of the distribution (accumulation) of ICG has prospects for practical application in thyroid surgery in the formation of tactics for preserving the parathyroid glands and predicting postoperative hypoparathyreosis.

Background Thalassemia is the most common form of hereditary anemia caused by the impaired synthesis of one of the two globin chains in hemoglobin. A decrease in beta-globin chains occurs in beta-thalassemia, resulting in a relative excess of alpha-globin chains. Thalassemia major is the severe form of thalassemia, which requires frequent blood transfusions for survival.

Introduction And Importance: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a frequent complication to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), presenting challenges due to increased risk of multi-gland disease and recurrence post parathyroidectomy (PTX). This case report examines the management of PHPT in a MEN1 patient, emphasizing possible benefits from intraoperative parathyroid autofluorescence imaging (AF).
Case Presentation: A 21-year-old woman with MEN1 presented with mild hyperparathyroidism symptoms in 2014.

A 51-year-old female patient with diabetes mellitus and hypertension, exhibiting poor control of blood sugar and blood pressure, was unexpectedly found to have multiple large adrenal nodules, excessive cortisol secretion, and adrenocorticotropic hormone inhibition. Cortisol levels remained unresponsive to both low-dose and high-dose dexamethasone tests, leading to a diagnosis of primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia. Concurrently, elevated blood calcium and parathyroid hormone levels, along with 99mTc-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) imaging revealing increased 99mTc-MIBI uptake in the right inferior parathyroid gland, suggest the consideration of primary hyperparathyroidism.

Introduction: Ectopic parathyroid adenomas represent an important cause of refractory hyperparathyroidism. While most ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenomas can be accessed through a transcervical approach, this is not always feasible, posing a significant challenge.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 60-year-old female patient who presented with symptomatic hyperparathyroidism.

Article Synopsis
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by tumors in multiple endocrine glands, but some patients may lack the genetic markers typically associated with the condition.
- A 56-year-old woman with a history of a macroprolactinoma, primary hyperparathyroidism, and a cortisol-producing adrenal adenoma was diagnosed with MEN1 despite being genotype-negative, raising concerns about the reliability of genetic testing.
- The case highlights that genotype-negative MEN1 can involve serious complications and emphasizes the importance of recognizing clinical symptoms like glucose intolerance and tumor manifestations to avoid delayed diagnoses.
