Parathyroid Education on Video
High blood calcium, hyperparathyroidism, parathyroid gland problems, low vitamin D, and parathyroid surgery! Everything you want to know about parathyroid disease on VIDEO.
Featured Flicks are 3-10 minute videos with detailed information on many parathyroid subjects. Enjoy!
Parathyroid Glands Can’t Be Anywhere
Parathyroid glands can’t be everywhere and an experienced surgeon can take less than 20 minutes to complete and MIRP “mini” surgery even if there is a negative sestamibi scan.
Parathyroid surgery: The probe is used for measuring parathyroid hormone.
During parathyroid surgery, Drs. Norman and Politz us the probe to measure the parathyroid hormone NOT to localize the tumor. The probe measures the amount of parathyroid homone being produced by the parathyroid glands. The parathyroid tumor has higher measurements than a normal parathyroid gland.
Part III : NIH Criteria Evaluation and Discussion
Dr. Politz from the Norman Parathyroid Center and Tampa General Hospital, talks about where the NIH guidelines came from and why, the percentages of people with parathyroid tumors that are outside some of these guidelines, and how endocrinologists can be proactive with this disease. Part
Part I : Parathyroid Disease- Areas of Confusion in Diagnosing Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Shows how 1,445 endocrinologists did workups on more than 10,000 patients with high calcium levels and the trends of endocrinologists around the world in diagnosing primary hyperparathyroidism. Also discussed is how FHH cannot be distinguished from PHPT with a 24 hr urine test.
Hyperparathyroidism: Three Most Commonly Asked Questions
Parathyroid Disease and the three most commonly asked questions.
Parathyroid Tumors And Sestamibi Scans: How to Read The Scan
Learn what Sestamibi scans should and should NOT be used for and why you don’t need a scan until day of surgery.
What Is Hyperparathyroidism?
Learn about parathyroid glands and what happens when they become tumors and which symptoms are because you have too much calcium in your blood.
Endocrinologist asks if Vitamin D should be used to treat parathyroid disease
Endocrinologist from the AACE conference asks whether Endocrinologists should use viatamin D to treat Parathyroid Disease, NO is the answer. Also in this video, endocrinologists ask if ultrasounds are helpful for the surgeons. The answer is only if the untrasound is done by an endocrinologist
The Norman Parathyroid Center: Who we are and what to expect
Learn why Norman Parathyroid Center has hyperparathyroidism cure rates over 99% and why ALL patients can have MIRP “mini” surgery even with negative scans.
Part I: Hyperparathyroidism: NIH Criteria and High Calcium Levels
Dr. Politz from the Norman Parathyroid Center presents a discussion on NIH criteria for diagnosing hyperparathyroidism to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.
