Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

470
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder.
  • Surgical intervention, parathyroidectomy, is a definitive treatment for PHPT.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To audit the outcomes of surgical parathyroidectomy.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of parathyroidectomy for PHPT.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective audit of 31 parathyroidectomy cases over 5 years.
  • Analysis of demographic data, pre- and post-operative calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.
  • Utilized Hospital In-patient Enquiry (HIPE) data, NIMIS radiology, and theatre logs.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in post-operative calcium (p<0.05) and PTH levels.
  • Median pre-op calcium 2.81 mmol/L reduced to 2.42 mmol/L post-op.
  • Median pre-op PTH 168.0 pg/ml reduced to 41.7 pg/ml post-op.
  • All patients discharged on post-operative day 1.

Conclusions:

  • Parathyroidectomy is a safe and effective treatment for PHPT.
  • The procedure is cost-effective in the studied setting.
  • University Hospital Waterford demonstrates successful outcomes for parathyroidectomy.
