Abstract:

The ovarian development of Musca domestica, was examined under light microscope. There are two ovaries in the adult female of fly. Each ovary was formed of about 60-70 polytrophic ovarioles. The ovariole in cross sections organized in several circles. From cytological observations, ovary development and oogenesis could be divided in to 6 stages; ovaries with no noticeable follicle cells existing were characterized as (stage1), the follicle-growing stages considered as (stage2, 3), the vitellogenen in stages (stages4, 5(and mature egg stage (stage6). The oocyte initiated development at first stages of oogenesis; the nurse cells and follicle epithelial cells were considered to fulfill important functions with regard to the growth of the oocyte.

Abstract:

With the large-scale outbreak of the COVID-19, people have gradually realized the importance of bioaerosols in the environment, and how to efficiently filter out microbial aerosols in the air, so as to create a safe and healthy air environment is urgent. The non-bacteriostatic F6 non-woven filter material and the synthesized new reduced graphene oxide air filter were tested and analyzed in this paper, and the filtration performance of the material against bacterial aerosols in the atmosphere at the initial stage of heating. The results showed that during the initial stage of heating, the particle size distributions of aerosols in the atmosphere during working days were stageⅠ(>7.0μm)4.34%, stageⅡ(4.7~7.0μm)4.62%, stageⅢ(3.3~4.7μm)13.30%, stageⅣ(2.1~3.3μm)21.11%, stageⅤ(1.1~2.1μm)38.70%, stageⅥ(0.65~1.1μm)17.92%. The particle size distributions of aerosols in the atmosphere on non-working days were stageⅠ(>7.0μm)4.52%, stageⅡ(4.7~7.0μm)13.66%, stageⅢ(3.3~4.7μm)23.04%, stageⅣ(2.1~3.3μm)31.82%, stageⅤ(1.1~2.1μm)15.18%, stageⅥ (0.65~1.1μm)11.78%. The new reduced graphene oxide filter material had a 10% increase in the filtration efficiency of the total bacterial aerosol compared with the ordinary non-woven filter material. Among them, the filtration efficiency of the respirable bacterial aerosol (particle size <4.7μm) was significantly improved by 40%. The results of this study could provide a certain reference for building a safe interior in the post-epidemic era, and also provided reference value for the research and development of functional air filters.

Abstract:

Michelia maudiae ‘Rubicunda’ (M. maudiae ‘Rubicunda’) is one of the most popular ornamental plants. However, relatively little is known regarding its floral development. Here, the variations of the mineral, endogenous hormone, and non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) contents in the petals and gynoecium and androecium (GA) at five developmental stages during M. maudiae ‘Rubicunda’ flower development were analyzed. The results suggested that the carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) endogenous hormones, NSC contents, and C/N/P stoichiometric ratios exhibit large variations during flower development. There were significant differences in N and P contents in the GA and petals among the five growth stages, while C contents did not change significantly. In the five flower development stages, the average N and P contents in the GA were higher than those in the petals. The maximum C/N and N/P ratios in the GA and petals were foundat the senescent flower stage (stage5) and green bud stage (stage1), respectively. The C/P ratio in petals reached its maximum value at the mature bud stage (stage 2), and the C/P ratio in the GA reached its maximum value at the senescent flower stage (stage 5). The C/N/P stoichiometric ratios in the petals were more sensitive to development stages than those in the GA. There were highly significant correlations between the NSC and C/N/P stoichiometric ratios in the GAand petals. Moreover, acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellic acid 3 (GA3), and cytokinin (CTK) contents in the petals exhibited significant changes in response to development stages. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed significant correlations and clear differences in the test indexes between the development stage and organs, and the variation was explained by PC-1 (55.6%), PC-2 (23.3%), and the cumulative contribution percentage of the total biplot (78.9%). These studies can lay the foundation for elucidating the requirements and dynamic balance among C, N, P, NSC, and hormone contents during the flower development of M. maudiae‘ Rubicunda’.

Abstract:

The worsening of chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to an increase in renal replacement therapies (RRT), which pose significant clinical and economic burdens. The purpose of this study was to estimate clinical characteristics and medical expenditure across CKD stage and RRT initiation. Using the 2018 National Patient Sample claims data, we identified 9,006 patients diagnosed with CKD (N18) were extracted. RRT options included hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation. Adopting a prevalence-based approach, we compared the clinical characteristics, healthcare resource utilization, and medical expenditures by CKD stage and the use of RRT. The prevalence of CKD increased with age, 41% in those aged 70 and above. Among patients with stage5 CKD, 78.75% underwent RRT. When comparing patients receiving RRT with those not receiving RRT, the annual average number of admissions (2.2 vs. 0.2), length of stay (56.6 vs. 23.1 days), and number of outpatient visits (101.0 vs. 5.2) were higher in the RRT group. Additionally, the average expenditure escalated with advancing CKD stages; the expenditure difference between stage3 and 4 was 2.8 times, and between stage4 and 5 was 15 times. Patients undergoing RRT spent 17.6 times more than those not receiving RRT (29,237,778 vs. 1,660,351 KRW). This study concludes that the aggravation of CKD can lead the financial toxicity due to RRT initiation, highlighting the need of appropriate management in early and moderate stages of CKD.

Abstract:

We aimed at comparing the Durie–Salmon Plus (DS Plus) staging system based on Italian Myeloma criteria for PET USe (IMPeTUs) with other two staging systems in predicting prognosis of patients with all stages of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). A total of 33 MM patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. The variation between the DS Plus classification and Durie–Salmon staging system (DSS) or Revised International Staging System (RISS) classification was assessed. When staged by the DSS, patients in stage I and stage II did not reach the median overall survival (OS), and the median OS was 33 months for stage III (p=0.3621). When staged by the DS Plus, patients in stage I did not reach the median OS of stage I, and the median OS for stages II and III was 38 and nine months, respectively (p=0.0064). When staged by the RISS, patients in stage I did not reach the median OS, and the median OS was 33 and 16 months for stage II and stage III, respectively (p=0.0319). The concordances between two staging systems were 0.07 (DS Plus versus DSS) and 0.37 (DS Plus versus RISS), respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that DS Plus stage III (HR: 11.539,p=0.021) and the Deauville score of bone marrow ≥4 (HR: 3.487,p=0.031) were independent prognostic factors associated with OS. Both the DS Plus based on IMPeTUs and RISS possessed a better potential in characterizing and stratifying MM patients compared with the DSS. Moreover, DS Plus stage III and the Deauville score of bone marrow ≥4 were reliable prognostic factors in newly diagnosed MM patients.

Abstract:

Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy (ALPPS) has emerged as an alternative for patients with bilobar colorectal liver metastasis deemed unresectable due to inadequate future remnant liver (FRL). Nevertheless, high morbidity and mortality rates have been reported. In this setting, including hepatobiliary scintigraphy in the clinical and surgical management of patients offered ALPPS has been advocated to both assess eligibility for ALPPS stage1 and suitable time for ALPPS stage2. Recently, it was stated that partial ALPPS with a liver split restricted to 50% of the transection line (or up to the middle hepatic vein in case of right extended hepatectomy) and a shortened stage1 allows improving the postoperative course without precluding the inter-stages FRL hypertrophy. We describe a case series of p-ALPPS with stage1 performed laparoscopically, including sequential assessments of the FRL volumes and functions via pre-stage1 and pre-stage2 computed tomography volumetry and HIDA SPECT-scintigraphy. In five patients, laparoscopic p-ALPPS was associated with rapid and significant gain of remnant functional volume - much better than previously observed for ALPPS - facilitating early stage2 without inflammatory adherences. In conclusion, laparoscopic p-ALPPS is feasible and seems less aggressive than the original ALPPS technique with total transection. It may be an interesting alternative to the classical portal vein embolization (PVE) and two-stage hepatectomy strategy.

Abstract:

AbstractPostembryonic developmental stages of naturally occurring populations of Paratylenchus straeleni and P. steineri were studied. In the former species all juveniles had a well developed stylet and pharynx, while the body of the 4th stage juveniles contained numerous dark granules and this is considered the resting stage. In P. steineri the stylet and pharynx were well developed in the 2nd and 3rd stage juvenile, but the 3rd stage juvenile had numerous granules in the body suggesting it is the resting stage. Fourth stage juveniles had no stylets and the pharynx is much reduced. Because some moulting females have the stylet cone of the juveniles being shed together with the juvenile cuticle, it is concluded that the 4th stage is short-lasting. The length of the body, pharynx, tail and genital primordium as well as the index b increases in successive developmental stages. Indices a, c, c' were almost constant in all juvenile stages. The resting juvenile stage characterises species and it should be included in species descriptions for better characterisation of Paratylenchus species. Paratylenchinae: stades de developpement de Paratylenchus straeleni (De Coninck, 1931) et P. steineri Golden, 1961 (Nematoda: Tylenchulidae) - Ont ete etudies les stades de developpement post-embryonnaire de populations sauvages de Paratylenchus straeleni et de P. steineri. Chez la premiere espece tous les juveniles ont un stylet et un pharynx bien developpes alors que le corps des juveniles de 4eme stade contient de nombreux granules fonces; ce stade a donc ete considere comme le stade de quiescence. Chez P. steineri, le stylet et le pharynx sont bien developpes chez le second et troisieme stades juveniles, mais ce dernier montre de nombreux granules a l'interieur du corps, suggerant qu'il constitue le stade de quiescence. Les juveniles de 4eme stade sont depourvus de stylet et le pharynx est tres reduit. Du fait que chez les femelles en train de muer le cone du stylet des juveniles est rejete avec la cuticule des juveniles, il a ete conclu que le 4eme stade n'a qu'une courte duree de vie. Les longueurs du corps, du pharynx, de la queue et du primordium genital de meme que l'index b augmentent en passant d'un stade a l'autre. Les indices a, c et c' sont generalement constants chez tous les stades juveniles. Le stade quiescent des juveniles est caracteristique de l'espece et devrait etre inclus dans les descriptions d'especes pour une meilleure caracterisation specifique des Paratylenchus.

Abstract:

Abstract In modern days, new acting spaces have become popular through the artistic expression and diversity of means they offer to the actors so that they get closer to their audience, sometimes ignoring the dramatic text and using it more like a pretext in a given context. The act of creation is now motivated by the possibility it offers its creator to artistically acquire new knowledge and discover new forms of expression to render aspects of contemporary life. Art is not a product, it is a perpetually changing process in time and space. All the artistic research arises from unanswered questions, from an unrefrainable need to express oneself in the new context: cinema, artistic films, documentary films, modern and contemporary performances, visual culture and associated culture, body and space, public space, video editing/processing.

Abstract:

ObjectiveWith the 2013 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging for ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer, the number of substages changed from 10 to 14. Any classification of a malignancy should easily assign patients to prognostic groups, refer patients to individualized treatments, and allow benchmarking and comparison of patients and results between centers. The stage should reflect survival in particular. The objective of the study was to validate these requirements of the revised FIGO staging on a high number of ovarian cancer patients.Materials and MethodsDemographic, surgical, histological, and survival data from 4036 ovarian cancer patients were used in the analysis. Five-year survival rates (5YSR) and hazard ratios for the old and revised FIGO staging were calculated using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression.ResultsA total of 1532 patients were assigned to new stages. Stages IA and IC1 had similar survival (5YSR, 87%); and stages IB, IC2, and IC3 had similar survival (5YSR, 75%–80%). Stage IIC was omitted, resulting in similar survival in stages IIA and IIB (5YSR, 61% and 65%). Of 1660 patients in stage IIIC, 79 were restaged: In 16 cases, IIIC was down-staged to IIIA1, as they had only been stage IIIC owing to lymph node metastases; and in 63 cases, IIIC was down-staged to IIIB, as they had lymph node metastases and abdominal tumor of less than 2 cm. The 5YSR in stage IIIC was unchanged (22%). Stage IV (5YSR, 14% ) was restaged as IVA (13%) and IVB (13%). Both were different from IIIC; P < 0.0001.ConclusionWith introduction of new substages, staging becomes more demanding. Second, as fewer patients are allocated to each substage, statistical power is diminished, resulting in uncertainty in the results. Despite this, and most importantly, the revised coding adequately reflects survival, as there was a clear graphical and statistical tendency for poorer survival with increasing stage.

Abstract:

AimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of surgical staging in stage I clear cell adenocarcinoma of the ovary (CCC).MethodsWe performed a retrospective review of 165 patients with stage I CCC treated with optimal or nonoptimal staging surgery.ResultsThe median follow-up period in this study was 67 months. No significant difference was detected in recurrence-free survival (RFS) or overall survival (OS) between patients optimally and nonoptimally staged (RFS: P = 0.434; OS: P = 0.759). The estimated 5-year RFS and OS rates were 92.1% and 95.3% in patients with stages IA/IC1 and 81.0% and 83.7% in stages IC2/IC3, respectively. The multivariate analysis indicated that stages IC2/IC3 predicted worse RFS and OS than stages IA/IC1 in stage I CCC patients (RFS: P = 0.011; OS: P = 0.011). Subsequently, we investigated the impact of surgical staging, respectively, in stages IA/IC1 and stages IC2/IC3. Significant differences were observed in PFS and OS between patients optimally and nonoptimally staged with stages IA/IC1 (RFS: P = 0.021; OS: P = 0.024), but no significant difference was found in those with stages IC2/IC3. The multivariate analysis indicated that nonoptimal staging surgery predicted worse RFS than the optimal staging surgery in stages IA/IC1 CCC patients (P = 0.033). In addition, we investigated the impact of surgical staging for stages IA/IC1 in the adjuvant chemotherapy group. The 5-year RFS and OS rates in patients optimally and nonoptimally staged with stages IA/IC1 in the adjuvant chemotherapy group were 97.8% and 100%, and 85.2% and 89.4%, respectively. The multivariate analysis indicated that nonoptimal staging surgery predicted worse RFS than the optimal staging surgery for stages IA/IC1 patients in the adjuvant chemotherapy group (P = 0.019).ConclusionsThe prognosis for women with stage 1A/IC1 is very good. Surgical staging category was the only independent prognostic factor for RFS in stages IA/IC1 CCC.

AbstractAimTo analyse the current practice and contribution of catheter interventions in the staged management of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.MethodsThis study is a retrospective case note review of 527 patients undergoing staged Norwood/Fontan palliation at a single centre between 1993 and 2010. Indications and type of catheter interventions were reviewed over a median follow-up period of 7.5 years.ResultsA staged Norwood/Fontan palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome was performed in 527 patients. The 30-day survival rate after individual stages was 76.5% at Stage I, 96.3% at Stage II, and 99.4% at Stage III. A total of 348 interventions were performed in 189 out of 527 patients. Freedom from catheter intervention in survivors was 58.2% before Stage II and 46.7% before Stage III. Kaplan–Meier freedom from intervention post Fontan completion was 55% at 10.8 years of follow-up. Post-stage I interventions were mostly directed to relieve aortic arch obstruction – 84 balloon angioplasties – and augment pulmonary blood flow – 15 right ventricle-to-pulmonary conduit interventions; post-Stage II interventions centred on augmenting size of the left pulmonary artery – 73 procedures and abolishing systemic venous collaterals – 32 procedures. After Stage III, the focus was on manipulating the size of the fenestration – 42 interventions – and the left pulmonary artery −31 procedures.ConclusionInterventional cardiac catheterisation constitutes an integral part in the staged palliative management of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Over one-third (37%) of patients undergoing staged palliation required catheter intervention over the follow-up period.

Abstract:

Having an incentive mechanism is crucial for the recruitment of mobile users to participate in a sensing task and to ensure that participants provide high-quality sensing data. In this paper, we investigate a staged incentive and punishment mechanism for mobile crowd sensing. We first divide the incentive process into two stages: the recruiting stage and the sensing stage. In the recruiting stage, we introduce the payment incentive coefficient and design a Stackelberg-based game method. The participants can be recruited via game interaction. In the sensing stage, we propose a sensing data utility algorithm in the interaction. After the sensing task, the winners can be filtered out using data utility, which is affected by time–space correlation. In particular, the participants’ reputation accumulation can be carried out based on data utility, and a punishment mechanism is presented to reduce the waste of payment costs caused by malicious participants. Finally, we conduct an extensive study of our solution based on realistic data. Extensive experiments show that compared to the existing positive auction incentive mechanism (PAIM) and reverse auction incentive mechanism (RAIM), our proposed staged incentive mechanism (SIM) can effectively extend the incentive behavior from the recruiting stage to the sensing stage. It not only achieves being a real-time incentive in both the recruiting and sensing stages but also improves the utility of sensing data.

This retrospective study examined the role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) in stage-related therapy of follicular lymphomas (FL). Twelve patients each in stages I and II, 13 in stage III and 11 in stage IV were treated in the Department of Radiation Oncology, University Hospital of Muenster, Germany from 2004 to 2016. Radiotherapy (RT), as well as additional chemoimmunotherapy were analyzed with a median follow-up of 87.6 months. Ultrasound (US), CT and 18F-FDG-PET/CT were used to determine progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and lymphoma-specific survival (LSS) over 5- and 10- years. 23 of 24 patients with stage I/II (95.8%) had complete remissions (CR) and 17 of 24 patients with stages III/IV FL showed CR (70.8%). 5- and 10-year PFS in stages I/II was 90.0%/78.1% vs. 44.3%/28.5% in stages III/IV. 5- and 10-year OS rates in stages I/II was 100%/93.3% vs. 53.7%/48.4% in stages III/IV. 5- and 10-year LSS of stages I/II was 100%/93.8% vs. 69.2%/62.3% in stages III/IV. FL of stages I/II, staged by 18F-FDG-PET/CT, revealed better survival rates and lower risk of recurrence compared to studies without PET/CT-staging. Especially, patients with PET/CT proven stage I disease showed significantly better survival and lower relapses rates after RT.

Abstract:

AimsSafety concerns surrounding osseointegration are a significant barrier to replacing socket prosthesis as the standard of care following limb amputation. While implanted osseointegrated prostheses traditionally occur in two stages, a one-stage approach has emerged. Currently, there is no existing comparison of the outcomes of these different approaches. To address safety concerns, this study sought to determine whether a one-stage osseointegration procedure is associated with fewer adverse events than the two-staged approach.MethodsA comprehensive electronic search and quantitative data analysis from eligible studies were performed. Inclusion criteria were adults with a limb amputation managed with a one- or two-stage osseointegration procedure with follow-up reporting of complications.ResultsA total of 19 studies were included: four one-stage, 14 two-stage, and one article with both one- and two-stage groups. Superficial infection was the most common complication (one-stage: 38% vs two-stage: 52%). There was a notable difference in the incidence of osteomyelitis (one-stage: nil vs two-stage: 10%) and implant failure (one-stage: 1% vs two-stage: 9%). Fracture incidence was equivocal (one-stage: 13% vs two-stage: 12%), and comparison of soft-tissue, stoma, and mechanical related complications was not possible.ConclusionThis review suggests that the one-stage approach is favourable compared to the two-stage, because the incidence of complications was slightly lower in the one-stage cohort, with a pertinent difference in the incidence of osteomyelitis and implant failure.Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2023;4(7):539–550.

Abstract:

Background: Iron deficiency anaemia still remains the most common cause of anaemia not only in India but also world over. According to world heath report, there are 1,788,600 people in this world suffering from Iron deficiency anaemia. Iron deficiency anaemia is foremost prevalent disease-causing morbidity in world and therefore it is always absolutely necessary to detect this particular condition in early stages before the eventual development of various dreadful complications like Heart failure and Myocardial infarction. The aim of the study is to find incidence of iron deficiency anaemia in patients with hypo proliferative anaemia presentation, with a possible iron deficient state, by analyzing the haematological and biochemical parameters.Methods: The study was conducted from November 2017 to May 2018 for a period of 6 months which included 50 subjects from both sex groups, aged 20-80 years with the diagnosis of hypo proliferative anaemia.Results: The study results indicate that females (60%) were significantly overrepresented compared to males (40%). Of the 50 subjects 38% were in stage of negative iron balance (stage1) and 32% were in stage of iron deficient erythropoiesis(stage2) and 30% were in normal stage.Conclusions: This Observational study showed a majority of patients with hypo-proliferative anaemia presenting at early stages of negative iron balance and iron deficient erythropoiesis thereby indicating the importance of initiating iron therapy at an early stage even without correlative iron studies.

Abstract:

Test was made on separating iron from a ultra-low-grade vanadium titanium magnetite ore by a process of tailing discarding at a coarser size，staged grinding and staged low intensity magnetic separation. The results show that when the raw ore is treated by permanent dry magnetic separator with low intensity magnetic separation at 12～0 mm size，qualified tailings of about 20% yield can be discarded．The coarse concentrate is grounded in two stages. With the first stage grinding size being 45% -200 mesh and the second stage，75% -200 mesh，and then treated by two stage low intensity magnetic separation．As a result，an iron concentrate with a TFe grade of 65.80%and an iron recovery of 47.74%can be achieved．

Abstract:

Aim: The mortality and morbidity of COVID-19 disease are higher in patients with comorbidities. In this study, we staged patients with chronic renal failure hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) and aimed to evaluate the process of the disease according to the stage of failure. Material and Method: The medical records of 249 patients followed in Ankara City Hospital MH3 ICU were reviewed retrospectively. The patients were divided into three stages according to their estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) value (stage 1: e-GFR≥90 ml/min/1.73 m², stage-2: e-GFR: 15-89 ml/min/1.73 m², stage- 3: e-GFR≤15 ml/min/1.73 m²). Data such as age, gender, comorbidity status, length of stay in the ICU, duration of mechanical ventilation, and mortality rate of the patients were recorded. Patients who were evaluated as stage-2 were also classified into 3 stages (stage-2a: e-GFR: 60-89 ml/min/1.73 m², stage-2b: e-GFR:30-59 ml/min/1.73 m², stage-2c: e-GFR: 15-29 ml/min/1.73 m²) and evaluated with the same parameters. Results: The mean age of all patients was 71 years. It was found that the intubation rate was higher (p=0.012) and the mortality rate was higher (p=0.003) in patients evaluated as stage-3. APACHE II and SOFA scores were higher than the other groups (p=

Abstract:

Background Endometriosis is regarded as a benign condition, despite the potential for recurrence and metastasis,. It might lead to secondary ovarian cancer from endometrioma. Objective The aim of this current study was to determine the relationship between risk factors for endometriosis and disease stages. Methods This current cross-sectional study was performed at the endoscopic unit at Zagazig University Hospitals, Egypt. The participants included 85 women who were candidates for laparoscopy and diagnosed with endometriosis in the period from November 2019 to November 2020. The tools used for data collection were a structured interviewing form and the American Society of Reproductive Medicine scoring tool (ASRM) for determining stages of endometriosis. Results The high percentages of studied women were nulliparous (74.1%) and (51.8%) have secondary infertility. Endometriosis was staged as 20.0% minimal (ASRM stage I), 34.1% mild (ASRM stage II), 29.4% moderate (ASRM stage III), and 16.5% severe (ASRM stage IV). Congestive dysmenorrhea (78.8%), dyspareunia (77.6%), and secondary infertility (51.8%) were more reported symptoms in all stages of endometriosis. Conclusion This study concluded that women within reproductive age, nulliparity, lower body weight, urban residence, and past surgery of the pelvic were considered as risk factors in all disease stages.

Abstract:

Removal of the altered parathyroid gland is the only radical method of treating primary hyperparathyreosis. Distant results of application of low-invasive parathyroidectomy under ultrasound-guided using percutaneоus laser ablation. The aim of the study was to assess the long-term results of the use of ultrasound-guided percutaneous laser ablation in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism based on the results of the main laboratory indicators. This technique implies stage-by-stage removal of the parathyroid gland in outpatientpoliclinic conditions. The study included 22 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. All patients underwent pre-operative topical diagnosis using ultrasound method and fine-needle aspiration biopsy with hormonal examination in aspiration material and laboratory diagnosis in pre and post-operative period with study of parathyroid hormone and ionized calcium levels. In 86%, the main laboratory indicators, having decreased to reference values 1 month after the operation, remained at the same level and after 5 years. In 14%, persistence and recurrence of the disease were revealed. The carried-out analysis of results of laboratory diagnostics confirms long-term, long decrease in the key laboratory indicators. The detected effectiveness (in 86%) in the distant period allows to speak about viability of this variant of parathyroidectomy and possibility of its application as radical treatment in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. A prerequisite for obtaining the desired result is patient selection and parathyroidectomy performed by a specially trained surgeon and ultrasonic diagnostic doctor.
