Pulmonary Function, Voice and Swallowing Symptoms After Parathyroidectomy

Changes of Pulmonary Function, Voice and Swallowing Symptoms After Total Parathyroidectomy for Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in the Presence of Intact Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve

After successful surgery, patients were recruited in the study, and we excluded patients with a surgical failure.

speech impairment and speech quality were evaluated with GRBAS on a scale (0-3), VHI-10 (>11, abnormal) and (EAT-10) (≥ 3, abnormal) .
*GRBAS (grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, strain) scale grades hoarseness, roughness, breathiness, aesthenia (weakness), and strain on a scale of 0-3 0 = normal, 1 = mild degree, 2 = moderate degree, and 3 = high degree

speech impairment and speech quality were evaluated with voice handicap index (VHI-10) (>11, abnormal) 0-4 Rating Scale 0 = Normal
= Almost Normal
= Sometimes
= Abnormal
= Always

speech impairment and speech quality were evaluated with EAT-10 (≥ 3, abnormal) .
*eating assessment tool (EAT-10) 0 - 4 Rating Scale 0 = No problem
= Mild Problem
= Mild to moderate
= Moderate problem
= Severe problem

mean frequency (F0, Hz); Noise-to-Harmonic Ratio (NHR), jitter(%), and shimmer (%)

The maximal phonation time (sec) and s/z ratio were measured with circumferentially vented pneumotachography mask and differential transducers of the Aerophone system .

Vocal cord mobility, vocal cord closure (complete or incomplete), airway invasion during swallowing were inspected with fiber-optic endoscopy to show premature spillage, penetration-aspiration scale levels . The Yale pharyngeal residue severity rating scale for vallecula and pyriform sinus (0-4) (non-trace-mild-moderate-severe) and pyriform sinus (0-4) were also performed.

Forced vital capacity (FVC) (L), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), bronchodilator test (BDT) (a positive response to BDT defined by the American Thoracic Society as an increase in FEV1 or FVC ≥ 12% and 200 ml), total lung capacity (TLC) (L), and alveolar volume (VA) using MasterScope (Jaeger, VIASYS healthcare GmbH, Höchberg, Germany), and diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (%) using Vmax Autobox (SensorMedics, a subsidiary of VIASYS healthcare, California, USA).

The 6 minutes walking test (6MWT) was also performed to evaluate distance (meter) and O2 desaturation (differences of O2 saturation between pre- and post-tests) (defined as positive if O2 desaturation ≧ 4%).

Pharmacogenetic Study of Antiarrhythmic Drugs for Atrial Fibrillation

A Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized, Open Label Trial to Determine if a Common Atrial Fibrillation Risk Locus Modulates Differential Response to Antiarrhythmic Drugs

Subjects will be monitored with the Medtronic Reveal LINQ Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) system to assess AF burden. The device will be programmed to optimize the memory for storing AF episode..

Quality of life assessment: Patients will be asked to fill out the AFEQT quality of life questionnaire baseline (study randomization), two, four, six, eight, ten, and 12 months (completion of the study). The questionnaire at the end of the 6rd month will be administered just prior to stopping the first study drug. The validated questionnaire is comprised of 20 questions about AF symptoms with answers given on a Likert scale. The questionnaire will be provided to the patients in paper format either in person or by mail, as applicable. A follow-up phone call will be made to each patient to ensure that the questionnaire is completed and returned.

Study participants in phase1 will receive the study drug, exenatide, at a dose of 5mg subcutaneously twice daily 30 minutes before meals for one month. During the second month of the study, the dose of exenatide will be increased to 10mg subcutaneously twice daily before meals for one month. During the third month of the study, no study medication will be given and this will serve as a "wash out" period prior to the second phase of the study (placebo). During the fourth and fifth months, study participants will get placebo alternatives to exenatide 5mg and exenatide 10mg, respectively, subcutaneously twice daily before meals.

Study participants in phase1 will receive the saline placebo, at a dose of 5mcg subcutaneously twice daily 30 minutes before meals for one month. During the second month of the study, the saline placebo will be increased to 10mcg subcutaneously twice daily before meals for one month. During the third month of the study, no treatment will be given and this will serve as a "wash out" period prior to the second phase of the study. During the fourth month study participants will receive Exenatide 5mcg twice daily with meals. During the fifth month, study participants will receive exenatide 10mcg, subcutaneously twice daily before meals.
