Acute thyroiditis, especially non-purulent, are very rare diseases. The first works devoted to the description of acute inflammation of the thyroid gland date back to the beginning of the last century. In the works of a number of authors (Conradi, W eitenwebe.r'a, Bauchet'a, Pi II c hod), the essence of this disease has already been successfully clarified and the difference between thyroiditis inflammation of a healthy thyroid gland and strumite inflammation of the thymus gland is firmly established. In the process of further study of this issue, a number of works appeared (Lcbert'a, Kocher'a, Mygind'a, etc.), in which, along with elucidation of a number of etiological moments that cause this disease, and a description of the pathological anatomical picture, were questioned and even the existence of primary non-suppurative thyroiditis was denied.

Acute Thyroiditis

BACKGROUND: Thyroiditis is an inflammation of the thyroid gland that can arise due to a variety ofcauses. Subacute thyroiditis or de Quervain thyroiditis is comparatively uncommon with recurrence rateof 5% patients over a 20-year period. It usually presents in the form of epidemics and mostly hasoverlapping symptoms, which leads to misdiagnosis.OBJECTIVE: To study sub-acute thyroiditis with the risks and benefits of treatment and consequencesof non treatment.PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study was conducted on seventy (70) patients who visited forconsultancy during April 2014 to May 2015. Their mean age was 37 years, having 28 male 42 females.Those who presented with symptoms of pain in front of neck, unilateral or bilateral, periodic generalizedbody aches, without having history of high grade fever, were included in the study after taking theirconsent. ESR, TFTs and complete blood picture of those having mildly enlarged or not palpable,painful and tender thyroid were done and recorded. They were divided into various groups for steroidtherapy. The patients were selected randomly.RESULTS: All the seventy patients having symptoms, suggestive of thyrioditis had markedly raisedESR with normal TFTs range and rest of the blood picture, were put on 40-45mg/day with tapering dosefor two to six weeks. Those who were put on six weeks steroid therapy had no recurrence, where asthose with duration less than six weeks time suffered from recurrence of symptoms.CONCLUSION: Subacute thyroditis presented with generalized bodyach and tender thyroid gland withraised ESR, when treated with 40-45mg/day prednisolone therapy for six weeks responded significantly.KEY WORDS: Thyroiditis, Subacute thyroiditis, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, Steroid therapy.

The Difference

In a series of 65 premature infants weighing from 991 to 2481 gm. and 5 full-term infants from 2522 to 2694 gm., who were from 1 to 63 days old, the uptake of I-131 by the thyroid 24 hours following the administration of 5 µc. orally or by means of a polyethylene tube in the stomach, as measured by both a Geiger-Mueller counter and a scintillation counter, ranged from 10 to 60 per cent. In 2 cases with an uptake of less than 10 per cent and 3 cases bordering 60 per cent, technicalities and the possible surreptitious use of thyroid by the mother may account for the variation. The range of uptake of I-131 as recorded in this series of infants is within the limits of normal as recorded in studies of children and adults using the Geiger-Mueller counter. The difference in percentage uptake as recorded by the Geiger-Mueller counter and the scintillation counter, after acquiring experience with the equipment, was less than 5 per cent. The technique, and the scintillation counter used, are described. I-131 administered orally or by a polyethylene tube in the stomach is well tolerated and in this series did not cause vomiting. The activity of the thyroid gland in premature and full-term infants, as revealed by the uptake of I-131 24 hours following administration, is discussed and evidence is presented that in such individuals the thyroid functions in a manner similar to that found in children and adults.

For the study of blood in the presence of tuberculosis bacilli, they began to use the Stubli method 1), with 3% acetic acid, and Uhlenhuth 2) antiformin, which, as is known, is a mixture of 7.52% chlorine. For example, the number of authors who found acid-resistant bacilli in the circulating blood of tuberculosis patients began to grow rapidly, and nowadays one can count more than twenty works on this issue. The difference lies only in the process of finding sticks by various authors.

Congenital Fistula

Recurrent retropharyngeal cellulitis and recurrent suppurative thyroiditis are rare entities that share a common cause. A congenital fistula from the pyriform sinus apex to the thyroid gland has been identified in approximately 23 cases of suppurative thyroiditis and now has been implicated in a case of retropharyngeal abscess and repeated episodes of cellulitis. Virtually all reported cases have been on the left side, and the fistula is usually identified with a barium swallow study. When the esophagogram fails to demonstrate a fistula, a careful endoscopic search in the area of the left pyriform sinus should be actively pursued. An external surgical approach, which includes resection of the entire tract and involved area of the left thyroid, has been curative in all reported cases subjected to definitive surgical exploration.

Effect Of Age

SUMMARY The behaviour of the superficial lymph nodes differs from that of the thymus gland during the various phases of life of the mouse. In male and female Strong A mice the thymus gland regresses with age, but the superficial lymph nodes do not. During pregnancy the thymus undergoes an accelerated temporary regression, but regenerates soon after the end of the lactation period (earlier in non-lactating post-partum females). The superficial lymph nodes show a lesser temporary regression which, however, does not become evident until after parturition. Their regeneration occurs after the lactation period, and after a corresponding period in non-lactating post-partum females. The difference in behaviour of the thymus and of the superficial lymph nodes is probably an indication of the greater sensitivity of the thymus to the increased output of adrenocortical hormones which occurs during pregnancy. Repeated injections of cortisone acetate into the intact animal induce a response in the thymus gland and superficial lymph nodes similar to that evoked by pregnancy.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of methimazole on Technetium-99m reabsorbing by thyroid gland , it may be possible to perform thyroid scan when the patients are on the methimazole, this can be time saving and decrease the adverse effects of discontinuing methimazole. Patients and Methods: Among all the patients with hyperthyroidism who referred to nuclear medicine ward of Shiraz University of medical sciences, 50 patients were randomly selected. we asked the patients who were on Methimazole, to discontinue the usage of all drugs (not Methimazole) and foods which are effective on thyroid gland for 1 week, after that thyroid scan was performed for these patients. In The other episode, we asked them to discontinue the usage of all drugs (also Methimazole) and foods which are effective on thyroid gland for 1 week and then thyroid scan was performed again .Revealed data was analyzed under supervision of statistical specialist with descriptive methods on SPSS. Results: 34 patients were males (68%) and other was females. Mean age of the patients was 53.5 years. (Min: 39 years and max: 75 years) Although The ROI (Region of Interest) of thyroid was increased in the patients who used methimazole before scan 398.72(SD: 191.73) than the patients who discontinued for one week 380.15 (SD: 112.49), but the difference wasn’t statistically significant. The ROI of peripheral tissue of the thyroid was decreased in the patients who used methimazole before scan 26.44(SD: 5.42) than the patients who discontinued for one week 27.0414 (SD: 5.57), but the difference wasn’t statistically significant. Discussion: In conclusion, we demonstrated that methimazole pretreatment does not interfere with either the efficacy of ROI and reabsorbing of Technetium-99m in thyroid gland and peripheral tissues. A possible limitation of this study is the number of patients in the sample.So it seems that it may be possible to perform thyroid scan when the patients are on the methimazole, this can be time saving and decrease the adverse effects of discontinuing methimazole.

ABSTRACT: Few reports have been published regarding the use of ultrasonography as a method of evaluating the normal thyroid gland in horses. For these reasons, this study aimed at determining reliably of the thyroid measurements from the comparison between the left and right thyroid lobes, as well as assessing the contour, format, echotexture and echogenicity of the healthy thyroid by mode-B ultrasonography. Additionally, the equine thyroid vascularization was quali-quantitatively characterized the by Doppler. The sample size initially was determined by the animal selection with advanced age and without volume increase in the neck proximal region. Finally, eleven horses were selected by laboratory test, search of thyroid neoformations by ultrasonography and cytology thyroid. Next, these animals were submitted to thyroid lobes ultrasonographic evaluation. Excellent reproducibility was observed for all measurements obtained. Among the comparisons made between the quantitative parameters of the left and right lobes, it was observed that there was only difference between their respective lengths. Qualitatively, there was a significant variation between the lobes elliptical format in the longitudinal plane of some glands, which oscillated between a rounded and flattened conformation. Thus, we can conclude that the difference between the lobes format of some thyroids can be explained by the significant difference observed between the length of the left and right lobes. Additionally, it was verified that there was no difference between the Doppler quantitative parameters. Therefore, we may suggest that unilateral analysis of the cranial thyroid artery by spectral Doppler can be used to evaluate equine thyroid diffuse disorders.
