Parathyroidectomy (PTX) seems ineffective at reducing morbidity or mortality in patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) relative to observation without intervention, suggests a study. For at least a decade, observation has seen no evidence of adverse effects regarding mortality, fractures, cancer, cardiovascular (CV) and cerebrovascular (CBV) events, or renal morbidities.

An international study led by researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has shown a higher-than-expected incidence of adult-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) worldwide, indicating a need for accurate diagnosis of these patients to facilitate appropriate treatment including early insulin therapy.

The risk of developing heart failure appears to increase in proportion with the level of obesity, especially among women whose menopause occurred at ≥55 years of age, a study has found.
