To investigate the mechanism of postoperative tetany, erythrocyte calcium and pH were consecutively measured in 15 patients who underwent total removal and subsequent autotransplantation of parathyroid glands at the surgery for thyroid cancer. Of these, 8 patients presented tetany signs, but the
270 patients were operated on for malignant thyroid tumour between 1955 and 1974. Before 1967, less radical methods of operation had been preferred, but since 1968, radical thyroidectomy - if necessary supplemented by selective or radical neck dissection - has become the procedure of choice if a
A 64-year-old man visited our hospital with the complaint of macrohematuria and bilateral hydronephrosis. He had undergone total cystectomy and ileal neobladder replacement under the diagnosis of muscle invasive bladder cancer (cT2bN0M0). Tetany due to hyperventilation syndrome appeared on
BACKGROUND
Bevacizumab a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody was approved in 2004 by US FDA for metastatic colorectal cancer. It is reported to cause potentially serious toxicities including severe hypertension, proteinuria, and congestive heart failure.
OBJECTIVE
To correlate adverse event
UNASSIGNED
A discussion with regard to the most optimal surgical procedure in nontoxic multinodular goitre (NTMNG). We assessed and compared three main types of operations in 2032 patients with NTMNG.
UNASSIGNED
This is a retrospective study of 2032 patients operated on in one center due to NTMNG.
Some of organ dysfunctions due to cancer therapy in children are common to those of adults, but others are specific for children. Even common toxicities may have aspects peculiar to children. For example, cisplatin nephrotoxicity easily causes hypomagnesemic, hypocalcemic tetany in children which is
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect and safety of zoledronic acid (Zoledex) in patients with cancer-induced hypercalcemia.
METHODS
Seventeen patients with cancer-induced hypercalcemia (corrected blood calcium > 2.70 mmol/L) were treated intravenously by 4 mg zoledex within 15 minutes on the first
Thyroidectomy procedures are the mainstay treatment for thyroid cancer and are safe and effective when they are performed by experienced surgeons. Preoperative evaluation of patients with suspected thyroid cancer consists of ultrasonography, radioisotope scanning, and computed tomography scans.
Compartment syndrome results from pathologically elevated muscle tissue pressure within a closed space. It is almost always related to either trauma or reperfusion after loss of arterial inflow from occlusion of a major blood vessel. We present an unusual case of nontraumatic and nonvascular
This article describes the use and effectiveness of adjuvant propofol for pain control for pediatric oncology patients at the end of life. All patients experienced severe pain and agitation, not well controlled by continuous infusion opioids and benzodiazepines. Upon starting propofol, most patients
We report a case of a 59-year old Japanese woman with short bowel syndrome, whose hypokalemia and hypocalcemia were successfully treated with magnesium (Mg) supplementation. Two years previously, she underwent Mile's operation for advanced rectal cancer, which could have been the cause of subsequent
Scintigraphy, sonography and fine needle cytology have the best accuracy in the evaluation of a cold nodular goitre. In 2,100 investigations on nodular goitre, it could be found that the incidence of the prophylactic operation for histological diagnosis decreased more than half. On the other hand,
Conservation of physiologic values of circulating parathormone is a surgical objective in those instances in which a hyperfunctional parathyroid state exists as well as in those instances in which cervical evisceration employed as an ablative measure for the management of neoplastic disease
