DOI: 10.1007/s00423-025-03619-6
Abstract: Measurement of intraoperative intact parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) levels is a reliable predictor of postsurgical hypocalcemia. We assessed the optimal cutoff values of ioPTH decline for predicting postoperative early and permanent hypoparathyroidism. This was a retrospective… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/mdr.2021.0316
Abstract: Aeromonas hydrophila and other closely related Aeromonas species cause motile aeromonad septicemia, a common fish disease. The disease affects many aquaculture sectors potentially requiring antimicrobial treatments. Therefore, researchers and laboratory diagnosticians need criteria called epidemiological… read more here.
