Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

9.1K
Low blood levels of the thyroid hormones — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — signal the hypothalamus to release the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then reaches the pituitary gland and stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) into the bloodstream.
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...

The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

8.8K
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...

Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane

1.4K
Assessing tympanic membrane temperature involves using a tympanic membrane thermometer (TMT). Here is a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Begin by practicing good hand hygiene to prevent the transmission of microorganisms.
Step 2: Turn on the thermometer and wait until the ready sign appears on the screen to ensure accurate measurement.
Step 3: Slide the probe cover in place to prevent cross-contamination.
Step 4: Instruct the patient to tilt their head to the side for comfort and check for cerumen...

Summary

Hypothyroidism significantly impacts the central auditory pathway, as evidenced by prolonged brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) latencies in patients. This study highlights auditory dysfunction in clinical hypothyroidism.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Audiology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Hypothyroidism is associated with hearing impairment, potentially affecting conductive, sensorineural, or mixed hearing.
  • The central auditory pathway's function in hypothyroidism requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the auditory pathway using brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP).
  • To compare BAEP findings in newly diagnosed clinical hypothyroidism patients with healthy controls.

Main Methods:

  • The study included 25 patients with newly diagnosed clinical hypothyroidism and 25 age- and sex-matched healthy controls.
  • Brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) recordings were obtained using RMS EMG EP MK2 equipment.
  • Unpaired Student's t-test was used for statistical analysis.

Main Results:

  • Significant prolongation of wave IV and V latencies in the right ear BAEP was observed in hypothyroid patients compared to controls.
  • Prolonged wave V latencies in the left ear BAEP were also noted in the hypothyroid group.
  • Inter-peak latencies (IPL I-V and IPL III-V) for both ears were significantly longer in patients with hypothyroidism.

Conclusions:

  • The findings suggest significant involvement of the central auditory pathway in patients with clinical hypothyroidism.
  • Prolonged wave latencies and inter-peak latencies in BAEP indicate auditory pathway dysfunction.
