Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. It most commonly occurs in older women and can be caused by autoimmune diseases, radiation therapy, thyroid surgery, medications, or iodine deficiency. Symptoms include extreme fatigue, hair loss, numbness, hoarseness, weight gain, cold sensitivity, constipation, and slowed thinking. Treatment involves lifelong synthetic thyroid hormone replacement through medications like levothyroxine. Nursing care focuses on monitoring for side effects, ensuring proper medication adherence, providing dietary guidance, and maintaining a warm environment for the patient.
Gallstones are hardened deposits of bile that can form in your gallbladder. Bile is a digestive fluid produced in your liver and stored in your gallbladder. When you eat, your gallbladder contracts and empties bile into your small intestine (duodenum)

CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE (CRF) or CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD)
Chronic or irreversible renal failure is a progressive reduction of functioning of renal tissue such that the remaining kidney mass can no longer maintain the body’s internal environment.
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) occurs when your thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine. Hyperthyroidism can accelerate your body's metabolism, causing unintentional weight loss and a rapid or irregular heartbeat
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is a condition in which your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of certain crucial hormones.

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.

2. Introduction
Hypothyroidism results from suboptimal levels of
thyroid hormone.
When thyroid deficiency is present at birth, the
condition is known as cretinism.
Binita Bhattarai

3. Definition
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid
gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone.
Binita Bhattarai

5. Causes
Autoimmune diseases
In autoimmune disease the immune system produces
antibodies that attack own tissues.
Treatment of hyperthyroidism
Radiation therapy
Radiation used to treat the cancer of head and neck can
affect the thyroid gland and may lead to
hypothyroidism.

11. Medical management
Synthetic levothyroxine (synthroid or levothroid) is the
preferred preparation.
Concentrated glucose may be given if hypoglycemia is
evident.
If myxedema coma is present ,thyroid hormone is given
intravenously until consciousness is restored.
