@BonnieLabdi Thank you, Bonnie! So glad our team could take care of you! 🙂

@IndependentRory @parathyroidpeep @TeamInspire No established link between weight loss drugs and parathyroid disease. There is a link between some weight loss SURGERY and secondary hyperparathyroidism though. Hope this helps.

@tracyswangNYMKE @TheEndoSociety @MarisaBK6 @SDreamMD @MCWEndoSurg @MCWEndo Couldn’t agree more! 🙌🙌 Thank you, Tracy. Oh, how many times I consult with patients who ask why they have to wait to be cured from this disease! “I guess I have to wait until I break my hip, lose kidney function, pass a kidney stone, have an even higher calcium level!”

@afshineemrani I love this. It’s so true. We have no clue what someone else is going through or has been through. Great post!

@ParaTroupers1 @TheAAES @TheAACE We are working on this at our institution as well. So many patients with #hyperparathyroidism would be identified with this simple advancement. And we have the technology readily available with electronic records!

4 or 5 BP meds in a hypercalcemic patient? It might be the #parathyroid adenoma…🤔🤔 ⁦@ParathyroidUK⁩ ⁦@EndocrineToday⁩ ⁦@Endocrine_News⁩ https://t.co/MnR8Gvmumg

Surgeons, when anesthesia wants a pulmonary consult on a 34-year-old marathon runner because he “used to vape.” 🤣 @MedMemes @DGlaucomflecken @TonyYounMD

Primary hyperparathyroidism is significantly under-treated. This study using a national database of PTs in the USA showed that most PTs – even if they meet a standard indication for surgery – are not treated w/parathyroidectomy. #PAM2022 @TheAACE @ParaTroupers1 @TheEndoSociety

[parathyroidguru @parathyroidguru]

“Keyser Soze and the negative sestamibi scan.” How nonlocalizing scans can have us believing the parathyroid adenoma doesn’t exist. @ParathyroidUK @parathyroidpeep #medicalstudentmemes https://t.co/9eOjFg4OiC

Osteoporosis doesn't cause pain, but increases the risk of bone fracture. Older adults with primary hyperparathyroidism who have parathyroidectomy have a lower risk of hip and other fractures compared to those who do not have parathyroidectomy. #CheckYourCalcium @ParaTroupers1

[American Association of Endocrine Surgeons @TheAAES]

Multiple studies from the USA have shown that high-volume surgeons have better outcomes for parathyroidectomy. A study from England also showed that high-volume surgeons have fewer complications & failed operations. #PAM2022 @ParaTroupers1 @TheEndoSociety

[American Association of Endocrine Surgeons @TheAAES]

Primary hyperparathyroidism affects approximately 1 out of every 1,000 men and 2-3 out of every 1,000 women. It is most common in people older than age 50 years. #CheckYourCalcium #PAM2022 @TheAACE @ParaTroupers1 @TheEndoSociety
