积极的研究
Our team conducts ongoing research aimed to improve the treatment 和生活质量 for people with endocrine conditions. Learn more about areas of research related to thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal surgery.
甲状腺的研究
- 共同决策: Research on this concept evaluates how shared decision-making related to the extent of thyroid surgery is influenced by the patient's gender, race, ethnicity, 以及社会地位.
- 声音和吞咽变化: We are conducting an observational study to understand how thyroid and parathyroid surgery performed without any complications impacts a person's voice, swallowing, 和生活质量. The goal is to identify patients who are at risk of these subtle but important changes after thyroidectomy and 甲状旁腺切除术 and find solutions to improve outcomes.
- Health Literacy: Our team is conducting a study determine how patients select the best thyroid surgery for them when there are multiple options. Our goal is to learn how patients best understand their treatment options to improve patient education to assist them in making the most informed choice and the best one for them.
肾上腺的研究
- 肾上腺切除术后的生活质量: bet8九州下载的团队正在进行研究 评估生活质量的个人与 库兴氏综合征 在接受肾上腺切除术后. Patients who have an adrenal nodule and 库兴氏综合征 (excessive steroid hormone) have many challenging symptoms including a change in appearance (round, puffy face), buffalo hump (an increase in fat pads just below the back of the neck), 躯干肥胖(腹部周围体重增加), 肌肉萎缩导致虚弱的肌肉萎缩, easy bruising, 女性面部毛发, 腹部有紫色的“妊娠纹”, easy infections, 皮肤变薄,容易擦伤或出血, 高血压, 以及情绪从高到低的变化. Some patients with excess steroid have nodules in both adrenal glands. We are examining whether quality of life is better for patients who have one adrenal gland removed (腹腔镜肾上腺切除术)或双侧肾上腺切除(双侧肾上腺切除术).
甲状旁腺的研究
- 高甲状旁腺激素(PTH): We are enrolling patients in a clinical study to help understand how high PTH levels can affect the heart and brain. Specifically, we are studying how high PTH impacts your mood and how you think (cognitive function). 高甲状旁腺激素对每个人的影响并不相同 . We are working to identify other blood markers that can predict which patients with hyperparathyroidism will develop changes in cognitive function so we can work to prevent them.
