We conclude that the simultaneous presence of the minor allele at rs1501899 and Arg990Gly may amplify the kidney stone risk in PHPT patients, despite their apparently opposite effects on CASR function in the kidney.
There is no evidence of ischemia of the brain during prolonged moderate hypothermic CA with the aid of RCP. Retrograde cerebral perfusion effectively extends the safe time of CA. Deep hypothermia during CA seems unnecessary.
