- Hypomagnesemia associated with hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy: an observational study(2016) MAHMOUD, Renata Regina da Graca Lorencetti; ARAUJO NETO, Vergilius Jose Furtado de; ALVES, Wellington; LIN, Chin Shien; LEITE, Ana Kober Nogueira; MATOS, Leandro Luongo; ARAUJO FILHO, Vergilius Jose Furtado de; CERNEA, Claudio RobertoIntroduction: Serum magnesium is frequently low in patients with hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy. The aim of the present study was to analyze the variations in serum magnesium and calcium concentrations after total thyroidectomy, and the relationship between both ions. Materials and methods: We conducted an observational study of 142 patients who had undergone total thyroidectomy, measuring serum calcium and magnesium levels preoperatively and on the day following surgery. The incidence of postoperative hypocalcemia was compared with that of postoperative hypomagnesemia. Results: A total of 142, total thyroidectomies were performed: 54 patients (38%) presented with hypocalcemia on the first postoperative day. A marked decrease in blood magnesium in the group of patients with hypocalcemia was observed when compared to those with normal calcemia on the first postoperative day (mean variation respectively, 0.125 +/- 0.065 mmol/L versus 0.035 +/- 0.020 mmol/L; P = 0.0002). Conclusion: Hypomagnesemia is significantly associated with early hypocalcemia following thyroidectomy.
- Quality of life after surgery in secondary hyperparathyroidism, comparing subtotal parathyroidectomy with total parathyroidectomy with immediate parathyroid autograft: Prospective randomized trial(2018) ALVES FILHO, Wellington; PLAS, Willemijn Y. van der; BRESCIA, Marilia D. G.; NASCIMENTO JR., Climerio R.; GOLDENSTEIN, Patricia T.; MASSONI NETO, Ledo M.; ARAP, Sergio S.; CUSTODIO, Melani R.; BUENO, Rodrigo O.; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.; JORGETTI, Vanda; KRUIJF, Schelto; MONTENEGRO, Fabio L. M.Background: No prospective randomized data exist about the impact of various strategies of parathyroidectomy in secondary hyperparathyroidism patients on quality of life and its possible relationship with metabolic status after the operation. Method: In a prospective randomized trial, the Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire was applied to 69 patients undergoing parathyroidectomy through various approaches: subtotal parathyroidectomy (n = 23), total parathyroidectomy (PTx) with autotransplantation of 45 fragments (n = 25) and PTx with autotransplantation of 90 fragments (n = 21). The questionnaire was completed at three moments: (1) preoperatively, (2) 6 months after surgery, and (3) 12 months after surgery. Results: Quality of life improved significantly in the physical component summary score in all three groups. Subtotal parathyroidectomy scores changed from 30.6 preoperatively to 51.7 6 months after surgery and 53.7 12 months after surgery. Total arathyroidectomy with autotransplantation of 45 fragments scores changed from 33.8 preoperatively to 52.6 6 months after surgery and 55.2 12 months after surgery. Total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation of 90 fragments scores changed from 31.8 preoperatively to 50.5 6 months after surgery and 55.2 12 months after surgery (all groups P < .0001). No significant difference was detected in the physical component summary score change among the three groups. The physical component summary score was negatively correlated to age, parathormone, and alkaline phosphatase preoperatively. Conclusion: Parathyroidectomy significantly improves quality of life in hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, regardless of the type of operation.
- Malignant solitary fibrous tumor of the thyroid: a case-report and review of the literature(2014) ALVES FILHO, Wellington; MAHMOUD, Renata Regina da Graca Lorencetti; RAMOS, Daniel Marin; ARAUJO-FILHO, Vergilius Jose Furtado de; LIMA, Patricia Picciarelli de; CERNEA, Claudio Roberto; BRANDAO, Lenine GarciaSolitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an uncommon spindle-cell neoplasm that most often involves the pleura, rarely occurring in extra-thoracic locations. Twenty-six cases of SFT arising in the thyroid gland have been described. We report a case of a 60-year-old woman presenting an 8-month history of enlargement of the neck associated with dysphagia. The patient underwent a right hemithyroidectomy and SFT of the thyroid was diagnosed. Immunohistochemistry showed positivity for CD34 marker, and the high number of mitoses and the presence of cellular atypia suggested that the tumor was malignant. To our knowledge, this is the second case of malignant SFT of the thyroid gland ever reported. Due to the rarity of these tumors, the indication of adjuvant therapy and prognosis are uncertain. Long-term follow-up after surgical resection seems to be advisable.
