Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

1.2K
The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

9.1K
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck and covers the anterior surface of the trachea. The gland has two lateral lobes connected by a thin tissue mass called the isthmus. Internally, each lobe comprises many small spherical structures known as thyroid follicles, surrounded by a network of blood vessels.
The follicles have a central cavity lined by simple cuboidal to squamous epithelial cells called follicular cells. These cells produce the glycoprotein...

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

2.3K
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Shear wave elastography revealed a higher elasticity index in autoimmune thyroid disease patients compared to healthy individuals. This non-invasive method shows potential for predicting autoimmune thyroid disease.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) diagnosis relies on specific tests.
  • Non-invasive methods for AITD assessment are valuable.
  • Thyroid elasticity can be affected by inflammatory and fibrotic changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare thyroid elasticity index values between AITD patients and healthy controls.
  • To determine if shear wave elastography can predict the presence of AITD.

Main Methods:

  • 104 participants (52 AITD, 52 controls) underwent shear wave elastography.
  • Elasticity index was measured in kPa on both thyroid lobes.
  • Aixplorer system with a high-resolution transducer was utilized.

Main Results:

  • The elasticity index was significantly higher in AITD patients (26.6 kPa) than in controls (19.6 kPa) (p<0.001).
  • A cutoff value of 22.3 kPa demonstrated 59.6% sensitivity and 76.9% specificity for AITD prediction (AUROC=0.71).

Conclusions:

  • Quantitative elasticity index measured by shear wave elastography is elevated in AITD.
  • Shear wave elastography shows potential as a predictive tool for autoimmune thyroid disease.
