Graves' disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies stimulate the thyroid gland to overproduce thyroid hormones. This causes a rapid heart rate, weight loss, eye changes, and enlarged thyroid gland. Treatment options include anti-thyroid medications to block hormone production, radioactive iodine therapy to destroy thyroid cells, or surgery to remove most of the thyroid gland. Long term treatment is needed to prevent recurrence of hyperthyroidism.
Graves' disease, also known as toxic diffuse goiter, is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in the United States.
Hyperthyroidism is a disorder that occurs when the thyroid gland makes more thyroid hormone than the body needs.

Hyperthyroidism is a disorder that occurs when the thyroid gland makes more thyroid hormone than the body needs.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition that is a common cause of hypothyroidism.
In Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the body mounts an immune reaction against its own thyroid gland tissue, leading to inflammation of the gland (thyroiditis).
Thyroid gland is an endocrine gland. It secretes triiodothyronine (T3) and its prohormone, thyroxine (T4).
These hormones act on the basic metabolic rate, protein synthesis etc.

Basic Life Support, or BLS, generally refers to the type of care that first-responders, healthcare providers and public safety professionals provide to anyone who is experiencing cardiac arrest, respiratory distress or an obstructed airway.
The Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) algorithm is a systematic, evidence-based approach designed to guide healthcare providers in the urgent treatment of: Cardiac arrest. Arrhythmias. Stroke. Other life-threatening cardiovascular emergencies.
Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose (or blood sugar), which leads over time to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves. The most common is type 2 diabetes, usually in adults, which occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't make enough insulin. In the past 3 decades the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has risen dramatically in countries of all income levels. Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin by itself. For people living with diabetes, access to affordable treatment, including insulin, is critical to their survival. There is a globally agreed target to halt the rise in diabetes and obesity by 2025.

Acyanotic heart disease is where the blood contains enough oxygen but it's pumped abnormally around the body. Babies born with acyanotic heart disease may not have any apparent symptoms but, over time, the condition can cause health problems.
Congenital heart disease, also called a defect, refers to one or more problems with the heart structure that are present at birth. These abnormalities occur when the heart or blood vessels don't form correctly in utero. At least eight out of every 1000 infants born in the US each year have a heart defect.
Dialysis is a treatment for people whose kidneys are failing. When you have kidney failure, your kidneys don't filter blood the way they should. As a result, wastes and toxins build up in your bloodstream. Dialysis does the work of your kidneys, removing waste products and excess fluid from the blood
Urinary disorders with congenital anomalies of Kidney, ureter. UTIs are common infections that happen when bacteria, often from the skin or rectum, enter the urethra, and infect the urinary tract. The infections can affect several parts of the urinary tract, but the most common type is a bladder infection (cystitis).
Genitourinary disorders are conditions that affect the genitourinary system, which includes the urinary and reproductive systems. Some are congenital, and others are acquired later in life.
Large numbers of patients suffer from a variety of diseases in the genitourinary system, which is composed of kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, and genital organs. Genitourinary diseases include congenital abnormalities, iatrogenic injuries, and disorders such as cancer, trauma, infection, and inflammation.
The genitourinary system, or urogenital system, are the organs of the reproductive system and the urinary system. These are grouped together because of their proximity to each other, their common embryological origin and the use of common pathways, like the male urethra.
lymphatic system, a subsystem of the circulatory system in the vertebrate body that consists of a complex network of vessels, tissues, and organs. The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance in the body by collecting excess fluid and particulate matter from tissues and depositing them in the bloodstream
The musculoskeletal system is made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and muscles, which form a framework for the body. Tendons, ligaments and fibrous tissue bind the structures together to create stability, with ligaments connecting bone to bone, and tendons connecting muscle to bone.
The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20 square feet. ... Skin has three layers: The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

3. TOXIC GOITRE-
THYROTOXICOSIS
Complex disorder- occurs due to increased levels of
thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism)
Manifests clinically with various signs and symptoms
involving many body systems
Clinical types are:
> Primary thyrotoxicosis (Graves’ disease)
>Secondary thyrotoxicosis : secondary to multinodular
goitre {occurs due to hypertrophy and hyperplasia of
gland}
4. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PRIMARY AND
SECONDARY THYROTOXICOSIS

5. Discovered by Irish Physician Robert J. Graves in 1835.
Most common form of hyperthyroidism.
Aetiopathogenesis
*Autoimmune- Occurs when immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland
causing it to overproduce the hormone thyroxine demonstrated by auto-
antibodies (TSH receptor antibodies) in the circulation
High thyroxine level greatly increase body’s metabolic rate
*Familial
*Thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI)
*Exophthalmous producing substance (EPS)
*Female sex, emotions, stress, young age
6. Gender

7. PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS ON
GRAVES’ DISEASE
TSIs mimics the action
of the TSH
Immune systems produces
autoantibodies called thyroid
stimulating immunoglobulin
(TSI) attach to thyroid cells.
TSI binds to TSH
receptors.
Thyroid gland is stimulated to
produce excess amounts of
thyroid hormone.
B cells Plasma Cells
secrete
antibodies
Antibodies
immobilize
antigens
This is where
autoimmune disorder
occurs.
10. SIGNS OF THYROID GLAND IN GRAVES’
DISEASE
Uniformly enlarged (mild degree)
Smooth surface-no nodules
Gland is soft or firm in consistency
Warm and highly vascular
11. CNS SIGNS
Tremors of the tongue when the tongue is within the oral
cavity and tremors of the outstretched hand
Always a moist,warm hand
12. CARDIO VASCULAR S. SIGNS
Tachycardia- depending upon pulse rate,
thyrotoxicosis can be classified as:
*mild-90-100/min
*moderate-100-110/min
*severe- >110/min
Palpitations and extra systoles
13. EYE SIGNS
Exophthalmos is common-caused by infiltration of the
retrobulbar tissues with fluid and round cells,with a
varying degree of retraction or spasm of upper eye lid
Von graefe’s sign (lid lag sign)-
when patient is asked to look up and down,
upper eyelid cannot cope up with the speed
of movement of the finger because of lid spasm
14. MALIGNANT EXOPHTHALMOUS
Occurs in untreated cases of Graves’ disease
If the disease continues, infrequent blinking
secondary to exophthalmous results in constant
exposure of the cornea to the atmosphere. This
results in keratitis, corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis, can
occur, may even lead to blindness
In late stages optic nerve damage and blindness
can occur.
15. THYROTOXIC MYOPATHY
Mild weakness of proximal limb muscles is common
Weakness of extraocular muscles results in double
vision (diplopia)
Myopathy responds to antithyroid treatment
Proximal limb muscles, ocular muscles, and
frontalis show weakness
16. PRETIBIAL MYXOEDEMA
Seen in thyrotoxicosis patients treated with surgery
or antithyroid drugs
Bilateral symmetrical deposition of myxomatous
tissue in pretibial region
Skin is dry and coarse
Non pitting, may be associated with clubbing of
fingers and toes called
Thyroid acropachy
17. Physical Examination
Laboratory Test-
1) Complete blood picture, fasting and post prandial blood
sugar estimation, urine examination, chest X-ray including
neck and indirect laryngoscopy
2) Serum T3 and T4 are elevated while TSH is low
3) Thyroid antibodies are elevated
4) Sleeping pulse rate- elevated
Radioactive iodine uptake
18. TREATMENT
AIM
To restore the patient
To reduce the functioning thyroid mass to a very critical level (about
6-8gm of thyroid tissue)
To minimise complications
19. ANTI THYROID DRUGS
Anti thyroid drugs
• Carbimazole- most commonly used,
dose- 5-10mg 8 hourly, duration- 12-18 months
Mode of action- blocks oxidation of iodide to iodine there by
reducing T3 and T4 levels,
thyroid hormone synthesis is blocked
• Methimazole- 5-20mg daily
• Propylthiouracil-blocks thyroid hormone synthesis
Given in pregnancy and children, dose-200mg 8 hourly
• Propranolol- dose-10-20mg twice or thrice a day
Reduces tachycardia
• Lugol’s iodine-is given to reduce the vascularity of the
Gland makes the gland more firm and hard to handle easily
during surgery. 10-12 drops three times a day for 10 days before
surgery
20. ANTI THYROID DRUGS
Advantages
Avoids surgery and its complication
Avoids radiotherapy
Clinical improvement occurs in 2 weeks and biochemical in 6
weeks
Dis Advantages
Prolonged course of treatment
Relapse rate is very high (40%)
Size of the swelling may not regress
Other side-effects are very severe- agranulocytosis and
thrombocytopenia, liver damage, hair loss
21. SURGERY
Indications
Failure of ATD in young patients
If there is autonomous toxic nodule
Nodular toxic goitre
Surgery is subtotal-only 6-8gms is left behind
22.
23. SURGERY
Advantages
Rapid cure and high cure rate
Disadvantages
Reoccurence – 5% cases
Thyroid insufficiency- hypothyroidism in 20-40% cases
Complications by surgery itself
25. RADIOIODINE THERAPY
Indications
Primary thyrotoxicosis after 45 years of age
Recurrent thyrotoxicosis
Autonomous toxic nodule
• Radio iodine destroys thyroid cells
• Given only after the age of 45 as chances of genetic
mutations, leukemia and carcinoma is there
• Dose-5-10 mCi
