- In 50 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, investigation before initial neck exploration included ultrasonography, computed tomography and 99technetium-201thallium subtraction scintigraphy. The sensitivity for correct preoperative localization was 50%, 54% and 56%, respectively. There was marked inter-observer variation in assessment of ultrasonography and computed tomography, while scintigrams were evaluated by only one person. The scintigraphic sensitivity increased with size of the glands. In cases where correct preoperative localization permitted unilateral parathyroidectomy, the time for surgery and anesthesia was significantly reduced. A cost-benefit analysis, however, revealed that the financial saving from this time reduction was outweighed by the cost of the localization procedures. The authors conclude that investigations for definition of enlarged parathyroid glands are not indicated prior to unilateral parathyroidectomy.

- Biliary complications are common after orthotopic liver transplantation. Bile leakage in the immediate postoperative period and on removal of the T-tube could possibly be caused by a raised bile duct pressure. In order to test this hypothesis, bile duct pressure was studied in seven consecutive liver transplant patients. During the operation, the common bile duct was anastomosed end-to-end over a T-tube. The initial bile duct pressure measurement was performed a median of 12 days (range 10-17 days) after the transplantation and on one or two more occasions during the following 3 months. Seven cholecystectomized gallstone patients with indwelling T-tubes were used as controls. The bile duct pressure at the level of the xiphoid process in the transplanted group was 7.7 +/- 1.4 cm H2O and in the control group 0.5 +/- 0.8 cm H2O (P < 0.001). The initially increased bile duct pressure after liver transplantation decreased with time (P < 0.05) towards normal during the following 3 months. The raised pressure may increase the risk of bile leakage in the postoperative period.

- This investigation was undertaken to study whether the risk to develop non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) among 50-year-old men during a 10-year follow-up period was related to the fatty acid composition of their serum cholesterol esters. There were highly significant differences in the initial health survey between the fatty acid composition in serum in subjects who remained normoglycemic (n = 1,753) and in those who later developed NIDDM (n = 75). The main differences were that the latter had higher proportions of saturated fatty acids and palmitoleic acid (16:1 omega-7), a low proportion of linoleic acid (18:2 omega-6), and a relatively high content of gamma-linolenic (18:3 omega-6) and dihomo-gamma-linolenic (20:3 omega-6) acids in the serum cholesterol esters. The picture was similar also after adjusting for differences in body mass index. In a logistic model, a high proportion of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid remained a significant contributor to the development of diabetes, along with the height of the insulin index, the blood glucose concentration at 60 min, and the fasting insulin concentration. The increased risk to develop NIDDM related to the serum cholesterol ester fatty acid composition may be mediated by diet and/or genetic factors.
