The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

4.1K
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...

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones01:20

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

4.8K
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...

Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease II: Clinical Features and Management

133
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, is a persistent medical condition that affects many individuals worldwide. Its clinical manifestations can vary greatly, making diagnosis and management challenging for healthcare professionals. The following is a comprehensive overview of the clinical manifestations, assessment, and management strategies for GERD.
Clinical Manifestations

Larynx01:21

Larynx

1.8K
The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids,...

Functions of Thyroid Hormones01:18

Functions of Thyroid Hormones

2.9K
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:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Thyroglossal duct anomalies are the most common congenital neck masses in children.
  • These conditions can persist or manifest later in life with varied clinical presentations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical features of thyroglossal duct diseases.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical management for these conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 151 patients undergoing surgery for histopathologically confirmed thyroglossal duct cyst, sinus, or fistula.
  • All patients were treated with the modified Sistrunk procedure.

Main Results:

  • The majority of patients (90.7%) were diagnosed with thyroglossal duct cysts.
  • Painless upper midline neck swelling was the most frequent symptom (93.3%).
  • Six cases (4%) were associated with carcinoma; no procedure-related complications were observed, with five recurrences.

Conclusions:

  • Thyroglossal duct cysts, while common in children, can present in adults.
  • The modified Sistrunk procedure is an effective treatment with low complication and recurrence rates.
