Abstract:
Thyroid cancers are a rare condition; of these, differentiated thyroid carcinomas are the most common and have a good prognosis with timely diagnosis and treatment. In the case of a late diagnosis, these carcinomas can breach the thyroid capsule and invade the laryngo-tracheal axis. The surgical treatment of locally invasive papillary thyroid carcinoma is a complete resection with the preservation of laryngeal functions when it is possible. We report the case of an 80-year-old patient who presented with inspiratory dyspnea and hemoptysis showing endotracheal localization of a papillary carcinoma of the thyroid.

01:11Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.

The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
01:20Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
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...
