概括
法罗群岛的甲状腺疾病发病率很高,特别是女性的甲状腺功能低下和甲状腺功能增加. 像哈西莫托这样的自身免疫疾病.
科学领域:
- 内分泌学和新陈代谢学
- 流行病学 流行病学
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
背景情况:
- 甲状腺疾病的患病率在全球范围内有所不同,法罗群岛的营养可能会发生变化.
- 费罗群岛缺乏对甲状腺疾病模式的系统评估,这影响了区域医疗保健规划.
- 了解北大西洋甲状腺疾病趋势对于公共卫生倡议至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 确定法罗群岛各种甲状腺疾病及其亚型的发病率.
- 分析被诊断患有甲状腺疾病的个人的人口特征.
- 提供有关该地区甲状腺疾病模式和趋势的见解.
主要方法:
- 一项为期10年的基于注册的观察性研究 (2006-2018) 包括所有成年法罗群岛人.
- 使用全科医生和医院的健康记录来确定发生的甲状腺疾病病例.
- 数据验证涉及多个来源,并使用人口数据标准化发病率.
主要成果:
- 共有1152人被诊断患有甲状腺疾病.
- 标准化发生率为甲状腺功能障碍的55/100,000人/年,甲状腺功能障碍的112/100,000人/年.
- 低甲状腺症和甲状腺功能障碍在女性中比男性大约四倍,随着年龄的增长而增加,并随着时间的推移呈现下降趋势. 哈西莫托甲状腺炎和格雷夫斯病分别是甲状腺功能低下症和甲状腺功能过高症的主要原因.
结论:

01:20Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
4.6K
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...

01:23The Thyroid Gland
3.9K
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...

01:18Functions of Thyroid Hormones
2.7K
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...

00:59The Parathyroid Glands
2.1K
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...

Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...
