Adenoma weight: the only predictive factor for multiple gland disease in primary hyperparathyroidism
Lindner K, Kussmann J, Fendrich V, Iwen K, Zahn A
Minerva Endocrinol (Torino) . 2023 Apr; 50(1):15-23. PMID: 37021921
Background: Predicting a multiple gland disease (MGD) in primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) remains challenging. This study aimed to evaluate predictive factors for MGD. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of...

Accuracy of Parathyroid Adenoma Localization by Preoperative Ultrasound and Sestamibi in 1089 Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Iwen K, Kussmann J, Fendrich V, Lindner K, Zahn A
World J Surg . 2022 Jun; 46(9):2197-2205. PMID: 35705875
Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is well treatable surgically. Sonography (US) and sestamibi scintigraphy (MIBI) are used routinely, but it is unclear how valuable they are in determining Parathyroid glands' different...

European Expert Consensus on Practical Management of Specific Aspects of Parathyroid Disorders in Adults and in Pregnancy: Recommendations of the ESE Educational Program of Parathyroid Disorders
Bollerslev J, Rejnmark L, Zahn A, Heck A, Appelman-Dijkstra N, Cardoso L, et al.
Eur J Endocrinol . 2021 Dec; 186(2):R33-R63. PMID: 34863037
This European expert consensus statement provides recommendations for the diagnosis and management of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), chronic hypoparathyroidism in adults (HypoPT), and parathyroid disorders in relation to pregnancy and lactation....

Clinical Presentation, Treatment, and Outcome of Parathyroid Carcinoma: Results of the NEKAR Retrospective International Multicenter Study
Lenschow C, Schragle S, Kircher S, Lorenz K, Machens A, Dralle H, et al.
Ann Surg . 2020 Jul; 275(2):e479-e487. PMID: 32649472
Objective: In this retrospective cohort study, we describe the clinical presentation and workup of parathyroid carcinoma (PC) and determine its clinical prognostic parameters. Primary outcome was recurrence free survival. Summary...

Pharmacodynamic monitoring of nuclear factor of activated T cell-regulated gene expression in liver allograft recipients on immunosuppressive therapy with calcineurin inhibitors in the course of time and correlation with acute rejection episodes--a...
Steinebrunner N, Sandig C, Sommerer C, Hinz U, Giese T, Stremmel W, et al.
Ann Transplant . 2014 Jan; 19:32-40. PMID: 24457606
Background: Due to considerable pharmacokinetic (PK) variability, immunosuppression with calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) remains challenging. The objective of this study was to assess a pharmacodynamic (PD) approach of monitoring nuclear factor...

Mycophenolate mofetil combination therapy improves survival after liver transplantation. A single-center retrospective analysis
Zahn A, Mueller F, Hinz U, Schemmer P, Stremmel W, Ganten T
Ann Transplant . 2013 Oct; 18:525-32. PMID: 24088725
Background: Because the immunosuppressive regimen is a modifiable risk factor after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), physicians are nowadays aiming at an optimized and individualized strategy for each patient. The aim...

Flotillin-2 expression in the human gut: from a cell model to human tissue in health and inflammatory bowel diseases
Gauss A, Buchholz I, Zahn A, Schmitz G, Stremmel W, Fuellekrug J, et al.
Int J Med Sci . 2013 Aug; 10(10):1259-70. PMID: 23983584
Background And Aims: The etiopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) remains largely unexplained. Flotillins (flotillin-1 and flotillin-2) are ubiquitous proteins which have been linked to inflammation and regeneration. We hypothesized...

Factors influencing long-term quality of life and depression in German liver transplant recipients: a single-centre cross-sectional study
Zahn A, Seubert L, Junger J, Schellberg D, Weiss K, Schemmer P, et al.
Ann Transplant . 2013 Jul; 18:327-35. PMID: 23817439
Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has become increasingly important. Therefore, we aimed to identify factors affecting HRQOL after OLT. Material And Methods: This cross-sectional,...

Reduced hydrophobicity of the colonic mucosal surface in ulcerative colitis as a hint at a physicochemical barrier defect
Braun A, Schonfeld U, Welsch T, Kadmon M, Funke B, Gotthardt D, et al.
Int J Colorectal Dis . 2011 Apr; 26(8):989-98. PMID: 21455745
Purpose: There is increasing evidence that a defect of the gastrointestinal mucosal barrier is important for the development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The hydrophobicity of the colonic mucosal surface...

Immunomonitoring of nuclear factor of activated T cells-regulated gene expression: the first clinical trial in liver allograft recipients
Zahn A, Schott N, Hinz U, Stremmel W, Schmidt J, Ganten T, et al.
Liver Transpl . 2011 Mar; 17(4):466-73. PMID: 21445930
Long-term calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) treatment can cause serious side effects in liver allograft recipients. An optimal risk-to-benefit ratio for CNI blood levels has not been established. Pharmacodynamic drug monitoring through...
