Does parathyroidectomy improve concentration and retentiveness in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism?
Parathyroidectomy not only betters physical symptoms of PHPT but can also positively influence the patients' cognitive performance. These findings reflect the clinical observation of the patients' improved mental capacity after parathyroidectomy.
HDAD might be a helpful tool for cancer registries to reach their goals. The findings suggest that, for automating cancer registries, algorithms combining diagnoses and procedures are the best option. However, for cancer surveillance purposes, in those cancers like prostate cancer in which care is not only hospital-based, combining inpatient and outpatient information will be required.
