Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones01:20

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

4.3K
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...

Hormones and Bone Tissue01:17

Hormones and Bone Tissue

2.6K
The endocrine system produces and secretes hormones, which interact with the skeletal system. These hormones control bone growth, maintain bone once it is formed, and remodel it.
Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

394
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

The Parathyroid Glands00:59

The Parathyroid Glands

1.9K
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...

Functions of Thyroid Hormones01:18

Functions of Thyroid Hormones

2.6K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Graves disease is an autoimmune disorder causing hyperthyroidism.
  • Recurrent hyperthyroidism presents management challenges.
  • Hashimoto thyroiditis is another common autoimmune thyroid condition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a unique case of papillary microcarcinoma arising in a patient with a long history of Graves disease and Hashimoto thyroiditis.
  • To discuss the diagnostic and management complexities of coexisting thyroid conditions.
  • To highlight the potential for thyroid cancer development in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 32-year-old male with a 7-year history of Graves disease.
  • Clinical evaluation including thyroid function tests, TRAb levels, and thyroid ultrasound.
  • Surgical intervention followed by histopathological examination of thyroid tissue.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with recurrent hyperthyroidism and a newly diagnosed thyroid nodule.
  • Histopathology confirmed papillary microcarcinoma (1 mm) on a background of Hashitoxicosis.
  • Postoperative recovery was complicated by parathyreoprive tetany.

Conclusions:

  • This case underscores the importance of vigilant monitoring in patients with long-standing autoimmune thyroid disease.
  • The coexistence of Graves disease, Hashimoto thyroiditis, and papillary microcarcinoma presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
  • Early detection and management of thyroid nodules are crucial, even in the context of autoimmune thyroid disorders.
