    Abstract Background: The standard clinical treatment for hypoparathyroidism, replacement of calcium and vitamin metabolites (calcitriol), has been used for decades; however, evidence points to its inefficiency in acting on the pathophysiology of the disease, which may precipitate or aggravate conditions already related to hypoparathyroidism. Therapies based on recombinant human parathyroid hormone have emerged in recent years but still have low availability due to their high cost. Parathyroid allotransplantation (Pt-a) has been reported as a strategy for treating more severe cases.
    Methods: This narrative review highlights relevant aspects of conventional permanent hypoparathyroidism treatment and provides a comprehensive and critical review of the reports of applications of Pt-a, especially those carried out in recent years. Particular focus is placed on the following key points: parathyroid immunogenicity, immunosuppression regimens (short-term or chronic), techniques to reduce the expression of immunogenic molecules, follow-up time, and reductions in calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
    Conclusion: Pt-a has been considered a safe and relatively low-cost therapy and is believed to have the potential to cure the disease, in addition to treating symptoms. However, there is considerable heterogeneity in treatment protocols; therefore, more studies are required to improve the standardization of the procedure and thus improve the consistency of outcomes.

    Abstract Objective: To present a low-cost prototype for a barrier enclosure device which can be used during open surgeries such as tracheotomy.
    Methods: We provide detailed description of a novel device called COVID-Box, developed by The Surgical Airway Team for COVID-19 Pandemic, a temporary task force formed by Walter Cantídio University Hospital. Safety guidelines for performing tracheotomies in COVID-19 patients are also stated.
    Results: Our prototype device provides greater hand mobility than previous barrier devices reported, making it more suitable for airway surgical procedures, such as tracheotomy. The curved shaped format and the customizable access ports provides ergonomics, without compromising safety.
    Conclusion: The COVID-Box appears to be an efficient, reproduceable, low-cost barrier enclosure device that can be used for open tracheotomies in ICU patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract Background: No prospective randomized data exist about the impact of various strategies of parathyroidectomy in secondary hyperparathyroidism patients on quality of life and its possible relationship with metabolic status after the operation.
    Method: In a prospective randomized trial, the Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire was applied to 69 patients undergoing parathyroidectomy through various approaches: subtotal parathyroidectomy (n = 23), total parathyroidectomy (PTx) with autotransplantation of 45 fragments (n = 25) and PTx with autotransplantation of 90 fragments (n = 21). The questionnaire was completed at three moments: (1) preoperatively, (2) 6 months after surgery, and (3) 12 months after surgery.
    Results: Quality of life improved significantly in the physical component summary score in all three groups. Subtotal parathyroidectomy scores changed from 30.6 preoperatively to 51.7 6 months after surgery and 53.7 12 months after surgery. Total arathyroidectomy with autotransplantation of 45 fragments scores changed from 33.8 preoperatively to 52.6 6 months after surgery and 55.2 12 months after surgery. Total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation of 90 fragments scores changed from 31.8 preoperatively to 50.5 6 months after surgery and 55.2 12 months after surgery (all groups P < .0001). No significant difference was detected in the physical component summary score change among the three groups. The physical component summary score was negatively correlated to age, parathormone, and alkaline phosphatase preoperatively.
    Conclusion: Parathyroidectomy significantly improves quality of life in hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, regardless of the type of operation.
