The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

8.4K
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...

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

8.7K
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...

Functions of Thyroid Hormones

6.4K
The thyroid hormone (TH) plays a pivotal role in the intricate orchestration of physiological processes, exerting profound effects on development, metabolism, and homeostasis throughout different life stages.
TH is indispensable for the normal development and maturation of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems during fetal and childhood growth. It facilitates bone mineral turnover and regulates protein synthesis in developing tissues, contributing significantly to overall growth and...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Thyroid Disorders

Background:

  • Grave's disease treatment varies globally, with surgery common in Europe and India.
  • Limited data exists on surgical outcomes for Grave's disease in India.
  • Surgery offers an alternative to prolonged drug therapy and radio-iodine ablation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of subtotal thyroidectomy for Grave's disease in an Indian teaching hospital.
  • To assess post-operative complications and long-term outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Subtotal thyroidectomy performed on 32 Grave's disease patients.
  • Pre-operative preparation included Lugol's iodine and propranolol.
  • Standard surgical technique with careful dissection of recurrent laryngeal nerves and parathyroid glands.

Main Results:

  • One immediate post-operative death.
  • No permanent hypoparathyroidism or recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy.
  • One temporary hypoparathyroidism, one recurrence of hyperthyroidism, and three cases of hypothyroidism within two years.

Conclusions:

  • Subtotal thyroidectomy is a safe and effective treatment for Grave's disease in the Indian setting.
  • Surgical outcomes are favorable compared to high rates of hypothyroidism after radio-iodine therapy and recurrence after drug therapy.
