The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

7.9K
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 Hormones01:20

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

8.1K
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...

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

12.8K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management01:17

Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management

2.9K
Endotracheal intubation is a critical procedure that can be lifesaving for many patients with respiratory distress or failure. The role of nursing in managing endotracheal tubes is pivotal, as it involves pre-intubation preparation, assisting during the procedure, and post-extubation care.
1. Nursing Care of Patients Before Intubation
Before the endotracheal intubation procedure, nurses play an essential role in ensuring the process goes smoothly. The nurses must be familiar with intubation...

Functions of Thyroid Hormones01:18

Functions of Thyroid Hormones

5.8K
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...

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure01:23

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure

2.1K
Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

  • Thyroidectomy can lead to dysphonia and dysphagia, often due to recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis.
  • Existing research on speech therapy effectiveness is limited for post-thyroidectomy patients specifically.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss speech therapy issues for patients post-thyroidectomy.
  • To review the literature on speech therapy for recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis after thyroidectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search of databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, and EBSCO.
  • Screening and classification of retrieved articles using EndNote.

Main Results:

  • Few studies focus on speech therapy (voice and dysphagia) after thyroidectomy.
  • Limited research exists on the assessment and treatment of dysphagia post-thyroidectomy.

Conclusions:

  • There is a significant gap in recent literature regarding speech therapy for post-thyroidectomy patients.
  • Further research is needed to establish effective voice and dysphagia therapies for this population.
