Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones01:20

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

6.7K
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...

The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

6.3K
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...

Introduction
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification

Functions of Thyroid Hormones01:18

Functions of Thyroid Hormones

4.6K
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...

The Parathyroid Glands00:59

The Parathyroid Glands

4.0K
The two pairs of parathyroid glands embedded within the posterior surface of the thyroid gland are restricted by a dense capsule around them. These glands comprise two distinct cell populations—parathyroid oxyphil and parathyroid principal cells- pivotal in calcium homeostasis.
Oxyphil cells, whose functions remain elusive, emerge during late puberty, adding a layer of complexity to the parathyroid gland's intricacies. In contrast, principal parathyroid cells undertake a vital role by...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

287
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Rheumatology
  • Autoimmune Diseases

Background:

  • Riedel thyroiditis (RT) is a rare, fibrosing autoimmune condition presenting diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms.
  • Its insidious onset often delays diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and meta-analyze the presentation, management strategies, and patient outcomes for Riedel thyroiditis.
  • To provide clinicians with comprehensive data for improved diagnosis and treatment of RT.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search of PubMed/MEDLINE and Web of Science was performed up to September 2019.
  • Data extraction included patient demographics, clinical presentation, biochemical status, treatments, and outcomes from 212 RT patients.

Main Results:

  • The predominant demographic was female (81%), with a mean age of 47. Common symptoms included neck swelling (89%), dyspnea (50%), and neck pain (41%).
  • Elevated inflammatory markers were noted in 70-97% of patients, with less than 50% showing thyroid antibody positivity.
  • Surgical intervention (often total thyroidectomy) was performed in 82%, and glucocorticoids were used in 70%, leading to symptom resolution or improvement in 90% of cases.

Conclusions:

  • This comprehensive analysis offers vital insights into RT's common presentations, aiding clinical diagnosis.
  • It highlights effective management options and positive outcomes, with most patients experiencing symptom improvement.
