2. 1. Clinical aspects of Adrenalectomy

   Author : Lo Hallin Thompson; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adrenalectomy; Adrenal tumour; Adrenal surgery; Adrenal incidentaloma; Health Related Quality of Life; Quality register;

   Abstract : Annual rates of adrenalectomy have doubled in the last 20 years as a consequence of increased detection of adrenal incidentalomas, improved biochemical diagnosis, genetic screening, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Most adrenal incidentalomas are benign non-functional adrenocortical adenomas. READ MORE

4. 2. Incidentally discovered adrenal tumours, adrenal metastases and pheochromocytomas - Clinical and epidemiological aspects

   Author : Andreas Muth; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Incidental Findings; Adrenal incidentaloma; Adrenal Gland Neoplasms; Adrenalectomy; Follow-Up Studies; Quality of Life; Pheochromocytoma epidemiology; Pheochromocytoma genetics; Paraganglioma epidemiology; Paraganglioma genetics;

   Abstract : With increasing use of high resolution radiological imaging incidentally discovered adrenal tumours (adrenal incidentalomas, AI) have become a common clinical problem. The aim of work-up and follow-up of patients with AI is to detect malignant (primary or metastatic) and/or hormone-producing tumours. READ MORE

5. 3. Hypoparathyroidism after thyroid surgery- rates, risks, prevention and consequences

   Author : Matilda Annebäck; Olov Norlén; Peter Stålberg; Jakob Hedberg; Erik Nordenström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; thyroidectomy; hypoparathyroidism; hypocalcemia; parathyroid hormone; vitamin D; health-related quality of life; Kirurgi; Surgery;

   Abstract : Hypoparathyroidism is the most common complication after thyroid surgery and associated with short- and long-term consequences. The lack of a consensus on the definition of hypoparathyroidism has led to a broad range in the rates reported in the literature. READ MORE

6. 4. Complications After Thyroid Surgery

   Author : Farhad Salem; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Background: Thyroidectomy is a common surgical procedure performed worldwide. Postoperative complications can be life-threatening. Many efforts have been made during the last century to reduce the burden of postoperative complications, with remarkable achievements. However, there are still many patients suffering. READ MORE

7. 5. Clinical Studies on Adrenocortical Tumours using  [11C]-metomidate Positron Emission Tomography

   Author : Joakim Hennings; Per Hellman; Bo Wängberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

   Abstract : Adrenal tumours, discovered en passant in patients undergoing radiological examinations for non-adrenal disease, so-called adrenal incidentalomas, have increased dramatically in the recent era of more sophisticated diagnostic modalities such as high resolution multidetector computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Furthermore, primary aldosteronism (PA) has been documented in several screening studies as being far more common than previously believed among hypertensive patients. READ MORE
