Improvement of Postoperative Hypocalcemia by Repeated Allotransplantation of Parathyroid Tissue without Anti-Rejection Therapy.

Allotransplantation of cryopreserved parathyroid tissue for severe hypocalcemia in a renal transplant recipient.

We report the successful allotransplantation of cryopreserved parathyroid tissue to reverse hypocalcemia in a kidney transplant recipient. A 36-year-old male received a second deceased donor kidney transplant, and 6 weeks later developed severe bilateral leg numbness and weakness, inability to walk, acute pain in the left knee and wrist tetany. His total calcium was 2.6 mg/dL and parathormone l...

Parathyroid allotransplantation in rabbits without cultivation.

Permanent hypoparathyroidism is a serious clinical situation. Allotransplantation of the parathyroid cells is relatively new approach to treatment. Non-cultivated allotransplantation in rabbits is not tried before. In this research parathyroidectomy was performed in six female New Zealand white rabbits. After division of surgically removed tissues into two, cryopreservation after cell isolation...

control of the optical properties of nanoparticles by laser fields

در این پایان نامه، درهمتنیدگی بین یک سیستم نقطه کوانتومی دوگانه(مولکول نقطه کوانتومی) و میدان مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. از آنتروپی ون نیومن به عنوان ابزاری برای بررسی درهمتنیدگی بین اتم و میدان استفاده شده و تاثیر پارامترهای مختلف، نظیر تونل زنی(که توسط تغییر ولتاژ ایجاد می شود)، شدت میدان و نسبت دو گسیل خودبخودی بر رفتار درجه درهمتنیدگی سیستم بررسی شده اشت.با تغییر هر یک از این پارامترها، در...

Prediction of hypocalcemia in postoperative total thyroidectomy using single measurement of intra-operative parathyroid hormone level.

OBJECTIVE Many varieties of methods using intra-operative PTH have been applied to predict hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy. The present study prospectively evaluated the reliability of intra-operative PTH through a single assay to predict hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy. MATERIAL AND METHOD Intra-operative PTH were performed before and 20 minutes after total thyroidectomy for 30...
