This document discusses hyperthyroidism, thyroid adenoma, and Graves' disease. It explains that these conditions are caused by TSH-like antibodies that bind to thyroid receptors and stimulate thyroid hormone production, overriding the normal negative feedback loop. It describes the signs and symptoms of overactive thyroid conditions as well as hypothyroidism and goiter. Treatment options for hyperthyroidism include surgery, antithyroid drugs, and radioactive iodine, while hypothyroidism is treated with thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Diagnostic tests include measuring thyroid hormone, TSH, and basal metabolic rate levels.

Thyroid hormone (The Guyton and Hall physiology)Maryam Fida
THYROID HORMONE
Location:
The thyroid gland located below the larynx on each side of and anterior to the trachea.
Largest Endocrine Hormone
Secretion:
secretes:
1. thyroxine (T4)
2. triiodothyronine (T3)
3. Also secretes calcitonin (an important hormone for calcium metabolism)
Cell: Thyrotopes
secretion is controlled by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary gland.
93% T4 & 7% T3
T4→T3 in tissues
Qualitatively same
Differ in Rapidity & Intensity of action.
T3 is 4 times more potent than T4, but decrease conc. In blood & decrease half life.
T3 and T4 combine mainly with thyroxine-binding globulin.
More than 90% of Thyroid hormone that binds with cellular receptors is T3.
T4
No effect for 2-3 days after injection
Long Latent Period.
Activity peaks in 10-12 days & ↓↓ with a half life of 15 days.
In some cases it takes 6 weeks-2 months.
T3
4 times rapid
Latent Period 6-12 hours
Peak in 2-3 days
Composed of large numbers of closed follicles filled with colloid and lined with cuboidal epithelial cells that secrete into the interior of the follicles
The major component of colloid is the large glycoprotein Thyroglobulin contains the thyroid hormones within its molecule.
50mg/year, 1mg/week
Ingested iodine in the form of iodides
Iodides ingested orally are absorbed from GIT
⅕ removed from the blood by thyroid cells for synthesis of hormones; rest excreted through kidneys.
Basal membrane of thyroid cells has an active pump to push iodides to interior (Iodine Pump).
Normally 30% more conc. Inside
Max. active 250% more conc. Inside
The rate of Iodine trapping is influenced by conc. of TSH
TSH stimulates and hypophysectomy greatly diminishes the activity of the iodide pump in thyroid cells.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

3. Causes:
Due to the presence of TSH like substances – proved
by RIA studies
The conc of TSH was found to be 0/less in plasma of
Hyperthyroidism patients
The TSH like substances are Abs which bind with
same membrane receptors of TSH
These substances activate c-AMP system ↑T4
These Abs act for long time (12hrs) (TSH-1hr)
The ↑ of high T4 caused by Abs suppresses TSH
production
Usually these Abs are developed b/cos autoimmunity
4. Some times – localised tumor develops in
Thyroid tissue called Thyroidadenoma
TA secretes large quantities of T4&T3
It is not associated with autoimmunity
As far as this adenoma remains active, the
other parts of Thyroid gland will not secrete
the hormone.
This is b/cos the hormone from Adenoma ↓
depresses the production of TSH
5. Autoimmune disease
Normally TSH combines with surface
receptors of thyroid cells syn of T4
But in GD , the TSH autoAbs (B-TSAB)
produced by B-lymphocytes (Plasma cells)
activate the TSH-receptors & ↑ secretion of
T4
6. Intolerance to heat ( due to ↑ BMR)
↑ sweating ( due to vasodialation)
↓ body wt ( Fat metabolism)
↑ motility of GIT diarrhoea
Muscular weakness ↑protein catabolism
Nervousness, extreme fatigue, inability to sleep, mild tremor
in the hands, psychoneurotic symptoms such as extreme
anxiety/worry (stimulation of CNS)
Enlargement of Thyroid gland i.e, Toxic goiter
Exophthalmos: Autoimmune
some degree of protrusion of eye balls – if severe blindness
develops due to
i)protrusion of eye ball stretches the optic nerve
Ii) eye lids cannot be closed dry infection
7. ↓ secretion of Thyroid hormones
Autoimmune disease which causes
destruction of Gland
In most patients it starts as the glandular
inflammation called – Thyroiditis
Thyroiditis fibrosis of the gland
Hypothyroiditis Myxedema (adults)
Cretinism (Children)
8. Due to hypothyroidism in adults
Causes: occurs in severe conditions –
complete lack of thyroid hormones
Signs & symptoms:
Swelling of the face
Bagginess under the eyes
Non-pitting type of edema:- when pressed
it does not make pits and the edema is hard
(accumulation of Pro+cho.SO4 which form
hard tissue with ↑ accumulation of fluid)
Atherosclerosis: ↑ cholesterol – blood ↑ bp
9. Other general symptoms:
Fatigue & muscular sluggishness
Extreme somnolence ( 14-16 hrs/day)
Menorrhagia & polymenorrhea
↓ Cordiovascular functions such as ↓heart rate, ↓
force of contraction of heart ↓ crodiac out put , ↓
blood volume
↑Body wt
Constipation
Mental sluggishness
↓ hair growth
Scaliness of the skin
Frog like husky voice
10. Children
Causes: congenital absence of thyroid gland
(genetic disorder or lack of I2 in diet)
Features:
The newborn baby may appear normal at birth (due
to supply of T4 from mother)
But after few weeks – starts developing sluggish
movements croacking sound while crying
mentally retarded
Skeletal growth is more affected than soft tissues
Tongue becomes so big – affects swallowing &
breathing
Stunted growth
11. CRETINISM DWARFISM
Mental retardation Development of
Nervous system is
normal
Diff parts of the body
are disaapropriate
Proportionate
Reproduction system is
affected
normal
12. Enlargement of thyroid gland
Occurs both in hypothyroidism &
Hyperthyroidism
Goiter in Hyperthyroidism Toxic Goiter
Due to tumor of the gland – Size ↑ - ↑
number of hormones secreting cells ↑
hormone level – Toxic Goiter
Goiter in hypothyroidism –non toxic Goiter
Only enlargement of gland – hormone
secretion is ↓
13. Based on the cause, Non-toxic Goiter is of 2 types
i) Endemic Colloid Goiter:-
Due to lack of I2 – I2 intake <50µg/day
Therefore no formation of hormones
By feed back mechanism, hypothalamus and anterior pituitary
are stimulated
This ↑ secretion of TRH and TSH secretion of TGb
Follicles
As there are no hormones to be cleaved, ↑ accumulation in
the follicles
Therefore ↑ size of the gland
In Swiss, Alps, Andes, Great region of US and in India –
Kashmir Valley Soil does not I2↓
Therefore Food stuffs lack I2 – very common before the
introduction of iodized salts
14. Enlargement of Thyroid gland occurs even
without I2 deficiency
Exact cause not known
These patients are first affected by
Thyroiditis which reduce synthesis of
Thyroid hormones
Therefore secretion of TSH ↑
↑ Size of the gland
In some persons the abnormal enzyme
system leads to Goiter(due to deficiency of
enzymes like peroxidase, iodinase and
deiodinase which are required synthesis of
T3&T4)
15. Goitrogenic Substances: ( Goitrogens)
Eg: Goitrin
Contains antithyroid substances like
propylthiouracil
Therefore TSH secretion ↑ enlargement of
Thyroid gland
Goitrogens in turnips, cabbage,
soyabeans
The goitrogens become active only during
low I2 intake
16. Treatment for Hyperthyroidism:-
1. Surgical removal: Thyroidectomy
2. Antithyroid substances:
Thiocyanate, thiourylenes, high conc of
inorganic iodides
Treatment of hypothyroidism:
Only treatment is administration of Thyroid
extract/ ingestion of pure thyroxine ( tablet)
17. Drugs which supress the secretion of T3&T4
1. Thiocyanate: the same active pump which
transports I- into Thyroid cells, transports
thiocyanate also
So thiocyanate competitively inhibits I2
transport
I2 transport is inhibited
↓ synthesis of Thyroxine
18. Thiourea related substances
Eg: Propylthiouracil and methimazole prevent the
formation of T4 from iodides and Tyr
This is achieved by blocking peroxidase activity
and partly by blocking coupling of MIT & DIT
During the use of these two antithyroid agents
even though the synthesis of Thyroid hormone is
inhibited , the formation of TGb is not stopped
The deficiency of the hor ↑ TSH secretion ↑ Size
Thyroid gland with more secretion of TGb
TGb accumation in gland enlargement non-
toxic G
19. All phases of Thy.activity ↓
↓ release of Thyroxine
↓ Size
↓ blood supply
Therefore iodides are frequently
administrated to hyperthyroid patients
20. The most accurate diagnostic test is
Direct measurement of conc of Free thyroid
hormones in the plasma (T3&T4)
Measurement of BMR:-
In Hyperthyroidism, ↑ 30-60%
In hypothyroidism, ↓ 20-40%
The measurement of TRH and TSH:-
In Hyperthyroidism total absence of TRH
& TSH (due to –ve feed back mechanism by
the ↑level of Thyroid hormones)
