Hyperthyroidism is often caused by Graves' disease, which results from autoimmune production of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor antibodies. This leads to excessive thyroid hormone production and symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Graves' disease is the most common cause of childhood hyperthyroidism. Treatment options include antithyroid medications, radioactive iodine therapy, or surgery, with the choice individualized for each patient.

Hyperthyroidism is caused by excessive thyroid function and can be due to Graves' disease in 60-80% of cases. Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies stimulate the thyroid. Common symptoms include weight loss, tremors, rapid heart rate, and goiter. Treatment options include antithyroid medications, radioactive iodine therapy, or surgery to reduce thyroid tissue. Antithyroid drugs work to block thyroid hormone production and are generally the first treatment approach. Radioactive iodine or surgery may be used if antithyroid medications do not control the hyperthyroidism or if the patient prefers a more permanent treatment option.
This document provides an overview of thyroid disease in pregnancy. It discusses the physiology of thyroid function and how it changes during pregnancy. Common thyroid disorders that occur in pregnancy, such as Graves' disease and hypothyroidism, are described. The document reviews diagnostic testing and treatment recommendations for these conditions, including the use of antithyroid medications and thyroid hormone replacement. It also discusses some controversies around screening for and treating subclinical thyroid disorders in pregnancy. The goal is to educate about thyroid disease in pregnancy to optimize outcomes for both mother and fetus.
This document discusses different types of thyroid disease, including hypothyroidism and thyroid cancer. It provides information on the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of primary hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, and various types of thyroid cancer such as papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, and anaplastic carcinoma. Screening recommendations and complications of hypothyroidism are also summarized.
Hypothyroidism is caused by insufficient production of thyroid hormones. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune form of hypothyroidism where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. It is characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid and the production of antibodies against thyroid proteins. Symptoms include dry skin, brittle hair, weight gain, fatigue, constipation, and joint and muscle pain. If left untreated, it can lead to myxedema which involves fluid retention and swelling of tissues.

This document discusses the diagnosis and management of primary hypothyroidism in a 32-year-old woman. She was found to have a very high TSH level of over 100 IU/ml and a low free T4, consistent with overt primary hypothyroidism. Further testing found she had a family history of hypothyroidism and goiter. She was diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis, a common cause of transient hypothyroidism after delivery. Treatment involves thyroid hormone replacement with levothyroxine titrated based on follow-up TSH levels, with the goal of achieving a normal TSH level.
- Graves disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by diffuse enlargement of the thyroid gland, ophthalmopathy, and dermopathy. It results from autoantibodies that stimulate the TSH receptor, causing hyperplasia of thyroid follicles.
- Hypothyroidism can be primary or secondary. Primary hypothyroidism is most often caused by Hashimoto's thyroiditis or iatrogenic ablation. It causes a hypometabolic state. Long-term untreated hypothyroidism in infants can cause cretinism, with impaired growth and mental retardation.
1. Thyroid function changes during pregnancy due to increases in thyroid binding globulin, human chorionic gonadotropin, and other factors. This can cause hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
2. Hyperthyroidism occurs in 0.2% of pregnancies, often due to Graves' disease. It increases risk of complications. Hypothyroidism occurs in 2-3% and also increases risks if not treated.
3. Postpartum thyroiditis involves transient hyperthyroidism and/or hypothyroidism after delivery. Long term hypothyroidism can occur. Thyroid cancer diagnosis and treatment requires consideration of pregnancy.
Maternal thyroid physiology is modulated during pregnancy by increases in hCG, urinary iodide excretion, and thyroxine-binding globulin. Thyroid disorders complicating pregnancy include hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and postpartum thyroiditis. Hyperthyroidism is treated during pregnancy with antithyroid medications to maintain normal thyroid hormone levels. Hypothyroidism requires increasing levothyroxine doses during pregnancy. Postpartum thyroiditis involves transient hyperthyroid and hypothyroid phases due to thyroid autoimmunity after delivery.
This document discusses hypothyroidism and thyroid function tests. It defines hypothyroidism and describes its prevalence. It discusses the causes of primary and central hypothyroidism. It explains how to diagnose primary hypothyroidism using TSH and FT4 levels. It lists the common manifestations of hypothyroidism. It provides guidance on treatment with levothyroxine and discusses conditions requiring dose adjustment. It also discusses central hypothyroidism, euthyroid sick syndrome, and myxedema coma.
Hypothyroidism can impact fertility through several mechanisms. It disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, leading to issues with ovulation and corpus luteum function. The prevalence of hypothyroidism among women of reproductive age is 2-4%. Autoimmune thyroid disease is also associated with infertility, endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Screening for thyroid function and autoimmunity should be part of an infertility workup, as treatment of hypothyroidism or autoimmune disease may improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

18. Laboratory evaluation
• Patients with Graves' disease have elevated levels of T4 T3 and
• Patients with Graves disease have elevated levels of T4, T3, and
T3RU and low or undetectable levels of TSH
• If the diagnosis of Graves‘ disease is unclear, TSH receptor Abs
should be measured
should be measured
• Tg and / or TPO Abs are often present but are less sensitive and
specific than TSH receptor Abs in the diagnosis of Graves‘ disease in
childhood
childhood
• Radioactive iodine uptake and scan are necessary to confirm the
diagnosis of Graves‘ disease only in atypical cases (for example, if
meas rement of TSH receptor Abs is negati e and if the th roto ic
measurement of TSH receptor Abs is negative and if the thyrotoxic
phase of either CLT or subacute thyroiditis or functioning thyroid
nodule is suspected). In Graves‘ disease, the uptake is elevated and
diffuse
19. Laboratory evaluation
y
• Obtaining a CBC before the initiation of
antithyroid medications may be valuable for
separating patients with underlying
Leukopenia or thrombocytopenia from
ti t h d l d t i it
patients who develop drug toxicity
20. Therapy
py
• The choice of which of the three therapeutic options
(medical th/, radioactive iodine, or surgery) to use
should be individualized and discussed with the
patient and his/her family
• Medical therapy with one of the thiouracil derivates
py
(PTU or MMI) is the initial choice of most
pediatricians, although radioiodine is gaining
increasing acceptance, particularly in non-compliant
d l t i hild h t ll t d d
adolescents, in children who are mentally retarded,
and in those about to leave home
21. Therapy
py
• PTU, MMI, and carbimazole (converted to MMI)
exert their antithyroid effect by inhibiting the
organification of iodine and the coupling of
organification of iodine and the coupling of
iodotyrosine residues on the Tg molecule to
generate T3 and T4
• PTU but not MMI, inhibits the conversion of T4 to the
ti i T3 t ti l d t if th
more active isomer T3, a potential advantage if the
thyrotoxicosis is severe
22. Therapy
py
• The usual initial dosage of MMI is 0.5 mg/kg/day
given once or twice daily and that of PTU is 5
mg/kg/day given thrice daily Carbimazole is best
mg/kg/day given thrice daily. Carbimazole is best
given in a dose of 10-20 mg twice or thrice daily
depending on the concentration of free T4
• In severe cases, a beta-adrenergic blocker
(propranolol, 0.5-2.0 mg/kg/day given every 8 h) can
b dd d t t l th CV ti it til
be added to control the CV overactivity until a
euthyroid state is obtained
23. Therapy
py
• The serum concentrations of T4 and T3
normalize in 3-6 weeks, but TSH
t ti t t t l til
concentration may not return to normal until
several months later
• Approximately 50% of children will go into
long-term remission within 4 years, with
g y
continuing remission rate of 25% every 2
years for up to 6 years of treatment
24. Therapy
py
• Lower initial degree of hyperthyroxinemia
(T4 < 20 ug/dL or 257.4 nmol/L, T3/T4 ratio
< 20), BMI, and older age have been
associated with an increased likelihood of
t i i
permanent remission
P i t f TSH t Ab i di t
• Persistance of TSH receptor Abs indicates a
high likelihood of relaps
25. Therapy
py
• Many authors also recommend checking the
white blood cell count and liver function tests
before therapy because Graves‘ disease
itself can be associated with abnormalities in
th t
these parameters
26. Therapy
py
• Radioactive iodine therapy should be used
with caution in children < 10 years of age
and particularly in those 5 years of age or
less because of the increased susceptibility
f th th id l d i th t th
of the thyroid gland in the young to the
proliferative effects of ionizing radiation
27. Therapy
Therapy
• Although a dose of 50-200 uCi of 131 I /
ti t d f th id ti h b d
estimated gram of thyroid tissue has been used,
the higher dosage is recommended, particularly
in younger children, in order completely to ablate
in younger children, in order completely to ablate
the thyroid gland and thereby reduce the risk of
future neoplasia
• The formula used is: (estimated thyroid weight in
grams) x 50 200 uCi 131 I / fractional 131 I 24 h
grams) x 50-200 uCi 131 I / fractional 131 I 24-h
uptake)
28. Therapy
py
• One usually sees a therapeutic effect within
6 weeks to 3 months
• If significant ophthalmopathy is present, RAI
g p p y p
therapy should be used with caution, and
treatment with corticosteroid for 6-8 weeks
ft RAI d i i t ti b i
after RAI administration may be wise
29. Therapy
Therapy
• Surgery is appropriate for patients who have failed
di l t th h h k dl
medical management, those who have markedly
enlarged thyroid, those whom refuse RAI, and for
the rare patient with significant eye disease in whom
RAI is contraindicated
• The child must be euthyroid before surgery Iodides
The child must be euthyroid before surgery. Iodides
(Lugol‘s solution, 5-10 drops twice a day, or
potassium iodide, 2-10 drops daily) are added for 7-
14 days before surgery in order to decrease the
14 days before surgery in order to decrease the
vascularity of the gland
