> 80% Drop in Post-Excision Intraoperative Parathyroid Hormone Predicts High Rate of Cure in Both Classical and Normohormonal Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Patients with normohormonal primary hyperparathyroidism undergoing parathyroidectomy can expect cure rates like those of patients with classical primary hyperparathyroidism, with an 80% drop or more in intraoperative parathyroid hormone levels predicting a high likelihood of cure.
Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Might Predict Response to Dupilumab in Patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps
Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) might have a predictive value in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in terms of treatment response to dupilumab, particularly PLR above 131.2.
