Accelerometry May be Superior to EMG for Early Evaluation of Vocal Cord Function After Nerve Injury in a Pig Model
Setså, Erling Johan; Svendsen, Øyvind Sverre; Henriksen, Bård; Stangeland, Lodve; Husby, Paul; Brauckhoff, Katrin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objective Vocal cord (VC) movement has been demonstrated by the use of accelerometry (ACC) to decrease in parallel with the electromyographic amplitude (EMG) during ongoing traction injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve ... -
EMG changes during continuous intraoperative neuromonitoring with sustained recurrent laryngeal nerve traction in a porcine model
Brauckhoff, Katrin; Aas, Turid; Biermann, Martin; Husby, Paul (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Purpose: Traction is the most common cause of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) in endocrine neck surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate specific alterations to the electromyogram (EMG) and verify ... -
An experimental study on intraoperative recovery of recurrent laryngeal nerve function
Setså, Erling Johan; Svendsen, Øyvind Sverre; Husby, Paul; Heimdal, John-Helge; Stangeland, Lodve; Dahle, Geir Olav; Brauckhoff, Katrin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objective If bilateral thyroid surgery is planned and staged thyroidectomy considered in case of loss of neuromonitoring signal (LOS), a waiting time of 20 minutes is suggested for evaluation of early nerve recovery. This ... -
F18-FDG-PET for recurrent differentiated thyroid cancer: a systematic meta-analysis
Haslerud, Torjan Magne; Brauckhoff, Katrin; Reisæter, Lars Anders Rokne; Lein, Regina Küfner; Heinecke, A.; Varhaug, Jan Erik; Biermann, Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-07-09)Background Positron emission tomography (PET) with fluor-18-deoxy-glucose (FDG) is widely used for diagnosing recurrent or metastatic disease in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Purpose To assess the ... -
High cardiac background activity limits 99mTc-MIBI radioguided surgery in aortopulmonary window parathyroid adenomas
Schwarzlmüller, Thomas; Brauckhoff, Katrin; Løvås, Kristian; Biermann, Martin; Brauckhoff, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-23)Background: Radioguided surgery using 99m-Technetium-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) has been recommended for the surgical treatment of mediastinal parathyroid adenomas. However, high myocardial 99mTc-MIBI uptake ... -
Impact of autofluorescence for detection of parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy on postoperative parathyroid hormone levels: parallel multicentre randomized clinical trial
Bergenfelz, Anders; Barczynski, Marcin; Heie, Anette; Muth, Andreas; Passler, Christian; Schneider, Max; Wierzbicka, Paulina; Konturek, Alexander; Brauckhoff, Katrin; Elf, Anna-Karin; Dahlberg, Jakob; Hermann, Michael (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Techniques for autofluorescence have been introduced to visualize the parathyroid glands during surgery and to reduce hypoparathyroidism after thyroidectomy. Methods This parallel multicentre RCT investigated ... -
Impact of EMG Changes in Continuous Vagal Nerve Monitoring in High-Risk Endocrine Neck Surgery
Brauckhoff, Katrin; Vik, Renate Kollevåg; Sandvik, Lorentz; Heimdal, John-Helge; Aas, Turid; Biermann, Martin; Brauckhoff, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03)Background: Continuous vagal intraoperative neuromonitoring (CIONM) of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) may reduce the risk of RLN lesions during high-risk endocrine neck surgery such as operation for large goiter ... -
Latencies longer than 3.5 ms after vagus nerve stimulation does not exclude a nonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerve
Brauckhoff, Michael; Naterstad, Helle; Brauckhoff, Katrin; Biermann, Martin; Aas, Turid (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08-28)Background: It has recently been reported that a signal latency shorter than 3.5 ms after electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve signify a nonrecurrent course of the inferior laryngeal nerve. We present a patient with ... -
Making wise decisions for completion thyroidectomies
Brun, Vegard Heimly; Brauckhoff, Katrin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022) -
Multimodal imaging of thyroid cancer
Brauckhoff, Katrin; Biermann, Martin (Journal article, 2020)Purpose of review Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer in adults with rising incidence. Challenges in imaging thyroid cancer are twofold: distinguishing thyroid cancer from benign thyroid nodules, which ... -
Post-PET ultrasound improves specificity of 18F-FDG-PET for recurrent differentiated thyroid cancer while maintaining sensitivity
Biermann, Martin; Kråkenes, Jostein; Brauckhoff, Katrin; Haugland, Hans Kristian; Akslen, Lars A.; Heinecke, A.; Varhaug, Jan Erik; Brauckhoff, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-03-13)Background: Positron emission tomography (PET) using fluor-18-deoxyglucose (18F-FDG) with or without computed tomography (CT) is generally accepted as the most sensitive imaging modality for diagnosing recurrent differentiated ... -
Prevalence of drugs used for chronic conditions after diagnosis of thyroid cancer: a register-based cohort study
Hegvik, Tor-Arne; Zhou, Yanyan; Brauckhoff, Katrin; Furu, Kari; Hjellvik, Vidar; Bjørge, Tone; Engeland, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Objective Little is known about thyroid cancer survivors' risk of chronic conditions.
