  2. 1. Calcium metabolism and cytokines in critical illness

    Author : Fredrik Carlstedt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; calcium; critical illness; hemodynamics; hypocalcemia; IL-6; mortality; TNF-alpha; severity of disease; sepsis; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : Hypocalcemia is a common finding in critically ill patients, particularly in those with sepsis, and has been found to be associated with increased mortality. The pathogenesis of this altered calcium metabolism is unknown and the effects of calcium supplementation are poorly investigated. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. Calcium Homeostasis After Thyroid Surgery

    Author : Pia Lindblom; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PTH-peripheral effects; hPTH- 1-34 infusion; EDTA infusion; Set-point; Vitamin D3; PTH; Calcium; Thyroid surgery; Postoperative hypocalcemia; Bone density.; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; Reduced thyroid hormones;

    Abstract : Calcium homeostasis after thyroid surgery was studied during the immediate postoperative period and after one year. One day after hemithyroidectomy ionised calcium decreased whereas basal PTH did not change. EDTA stimulated maximal and total PTH secretion and set-point decreased on postoperative day 1 and normalised on day 7. READ MORE
