Patients with low calcium and parathyroid hormone levels immediately following total thyroidectomy, and those with significant drops in those values from baseline, are at highest risk for developing permanent hypoparathyroidism, new research suggests.
The findings from a single-center retrospective review of post-thyroidectomy patients were presented May 17 at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists 2018 Annual Scientific & Clinical Congress by Steven L. Brown, an endocrine fellow at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.

The HIV virus, which causes AIDS, has long been known to target and disable cells of the immune system, which are responsible for fighting off invading microorganisms and for suppressing malignant cancers. More recently, researchers also learned HIV not only targets immune cells in the bloodstream but also in the brain and spinal cord and that HIV can lie dormant in a person's body for many years.

The more often a hospital can check its newborns for deadly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, the more likely it will be that they are contained, according to a new study. However, researchers noted that there are significant barriers to the frequency of this surveillance, including cost and available facilities.

Scientists have identified the mechanisms that regulate mammary gland development. Using a combination of lineage tracing, molecular profiling, single cell sequencing and functional experiments, they have demonstrated that mammary gland initially develops from multipotent progenitors during the early steps of embryonic mammary gland morphogenesis whereas postnatal mammary gland development is mediated by lineage-restricted stem cells.

Purdue University researchers have developed a minimally invasive technique that may help doctors better explore and treat cancerous cells, tissues and tumors without affecting nearby healthy cells.
The method, called PLASMAT — plasma technologies for a healthier tomorrow — combines three emerging techniques that appear promising in the fight against most types of cancer.
