Introduction Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is characterized by persistent hypercalcemia and is associated with renal complications, including nephrolithiasis and progressive decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Although parathyroidectomy (PTX) is the definitive treatment, its impact on renal function remains uncertain, particularly in patients with pre-existing renal impairment. This...

Remote access thyroid surgery demand has increased due to the burden of a visible neck scar. Several surgical techniques have been proposed over the years. We report the surgical modified technique of a robotic unilateral axillo-breast approach (R-UABA) gas-insufflated hemithyroidectomy without hyperextension of the arm. This approach combines the advantages of the use of the robotic platform, to the use of a t...

Introduction: Identifying and preserving the recurrent laryngeal nerve is essential in thyroid surgery. Nerve Intraoperative Monitoring aids with this task and helps predict post-operative prognosis. Case Description: A 64-year-old male undergoes a Total Thyroidectomy with central and left lymphadenectomy for papillary thyroid cancer with intra-operative neuro-monitoring. Discussion: One of the most dread...
ABSTRACT - Introduction: Parathyroid adenoma is the most frequent cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. In recent years, the preoperative location of parathyroid adenomas allowed minimally invasive surgical techniques that have become preferred over traditional bilateral neck exploration. The more recent guidelines on this subject highlight the role of nuclear medicine imaging tests. The aim of this study was t...
Among the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids is now a rising concern in wildlife within Europe, after the detection of the first case in Norway in 2016, in a wild reindeer and until June 2022 a total of 34 cases were described in Norway, Sweden and Finland. The definite diagnosis is post-mortem, performed in target areas of the brain and lymph nodes. Sampl...

Given its geographic isolation, and after the last glaciation, the Iberian Peninsula, become a sanctuary of plants and animal’s diversification, being considered a hotspot of genetic diversity specially for mammal species. The roe deer (Capreolus capreolus - CCR), an herbivore ungulate, has a widespread geographical distribution which extends from the Iberian Peninsula to the north of Scandinavia, being found a...
