Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) metastasizes to the regional lymph nodes and to the lungs, liver and bones. Only one case of recurrence of MTC involving the upper gastrointestinal tract has been reported so far. We describe the case of...

Water and sodium metabolism during intravenous re-feeding in the malnourished rabbit.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)

Franch G, Gil MJ, Guirao X, Sitges-Serra A.
PMID: 16839958
Clin Nutr. 1991;10:58-64. doi: 10.1016/0261-5614(91)90117-u.

Twenty-three New Zealand rabbits were starved until a mean weight loss of 21% was achieved and then re-fed parenterally with two different total parenteral nutrition (TPN) formulae: a standard formula (Group SF, n = 12) containing 100 ml/kg/day of...

Local recurrence of papillary thyroid cancer.

Expert review of endocrinology & metabolism

Sitges-Serra A.
PMID: 30293500
Expert Rev Endocrinol Metab. 2015 Jul;10(4):349-352. doi: 10.1586/17446651.2015.1053870. Epub 2015 Jun 07.

Management of advanced papillary thyroid cancer (PTC >10 mm) is changing its focus. Mortality was the main outcome measure for patients treated before the 90s. In the past two decades, however, most patients diagnosed with PTC belong to the...

Prevalence of basal ganglia and carotid artery calcifications in patients with permanent hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy.

Endocrine connections

Lorente-Poch L, Rifà-Terricabras S, Sancho JJ, Torselli-Valladares D, González-Ortiz S, Sitges-Serra A.
PMID: 33032262
Endocr Connect. 2020 Oct;9(10):955-962. doi: 10.1530/EC-20-0387.

OBJECTIVE: Permanent hypoparathyroidism is an uncommon disease resulting most frequently from neck surgery. It has been associated with visceral calcifications but few studies have specifically this in patients with post-surgical hypoparathyroidism. The aim of the present study was to...

A nomogram to predict the likelihood of permanent hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy based on delayed serum calcium and iPTH measurements.

Gland surgery

Sitges-Serra A, Gómez J, Barczynski M, Lorente-Poch L, Iacobone M, Sancho J.
PMID: 29322018
Gland Surg. 2017 Dec;6:S11-S19. doi: 10.21037/gs.2017.10.04.

BACKGROUND: Retrospective studies have shown that delayed high-normal serum calcium and detectable iPTH are independent variables positively influencing outcome of prolonged parathyroid failure after total thyroidectomy (TT). The aim of the present study was to examine prospectively the ability...

The PGRIS and parathyroid splinting concepts for the analysis and prognosis of protracted hypoparathyroidism.

Gland surgery

Sitges-Serra A.
PMID: 29322026
Gland Surg. 2017 Dec;6:S86-S93. doi: 10.21037/gs.2017.07.16.

Most patients with hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy will recover the parathyroid function in a few weeks, but some 20-30% of them will still be in the need for replacement therapy one month after surgery and about 5-10% of those...

Extracellular fluid expansion during parenteral refeeding.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)

Sitges-Serra A, Arcas G, Guirao X, García-Dominho M, Gil MJ.
PMID: 16839974
Clin Nutr. 1992 Apr;11(2):63-8. doi: 10.1016/0261-5614(92)90012-f.

Life emerged on our planet from a fluid environment which probably contained a similar concentration of sodium and other electrolytes to that of the extracellular fluid of mammals (1). The maintenance of the volume and composition (homeostasis) of this...

A prospective study of a new protocol for 'in situ' diagnosis of central venous catheter related bacteraemia.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)

Segura M, Lladó L, Guirao X, Piracés M, Herms R, Alia C, Sitges-Serra A.
PMID: 16843295
Clin Nutr. 1993 Apr;12(2):103-7. doi: 10.1016/0261-5614(93)90059-d.

59 patients with suspected central venous catheter related bacteraemia (CRB), while receiving parenteral nutrition, were studied prospectively. 41 (Group 1) were managed conservatively: cultures were taken from the catheter hub lumen, skin at the catheter entry site and peripheral...

Undescended parathyroid adenomas as cause of persistent hyperparathyroidism.

Gland surgery

Rioja P, Mateu G, Lorente-Poch L, Sancho JJ, Sitges-Serra A.
PMID: 26312215
Gland Surg. 2015 Aug;4(4):295-300. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2227-684X.2015.04.14.

BACKGROUND: Undescended glands are a rare cause of primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT), but they are more common, however, among patients with recurrent HPT or those who have undergone a failed initial cervical exploration. The currently development of more...

Defining the syndromes of parathyroid failure after total thyroidectomy.

Gland surgery

Lorente-Poch L, Sancho JJ, Muñoz-Nova JL, Sánchez-Velázquez P, Sitges-Serra A.
PMID: 25713783
Gland Surg. 2015 Feb;4(1):82-90. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2227-684X.2014.12.04.

Acute and chronic parathyroid insufficiency syndromes are the most common complication after total thyroidectomy. Permanent hypoparathyroidism imposes an important medical burden on patient lifestyle due to the need for lifetime medication, regular visits and significant long-term costs. Its true...

Late Recovery of Parathyroid Function after Total Thyroidectomy in Children and Adults: Is There a Difference?.

Hormone research in paediatrics

de Jong MC, Lorente-Poch L, Sancho-Insenser J, Rozalén García V, Brain C, Abdel-Aziz TE, Hewitt RJ, Butler CR, Sitges-Serra A, Kurzawinski TR.

BACKGROUND: Parathyroid failure after total thyroidectomy is the commonest adverse event amongst both children and adults. The phenomenon of late recovery of parathyroid function, especially in young patients with persistent hypoparathyroidism, is not well understood. This study investigated differences...
