Sort of like ABSITE studying itself, our high yield #absite graphics series this year had some highs and some lows. What better way to reminisce than putting them all in one place... 🧵(1/n)
We kicked it off with the ruler of tricky anatomy, the #thyroid (2/n)
Found its close friend and confidante and remembered our dual criteria for the #parathyroids (3/n)
The less we eat, the longer we live
1. This seems to be true.
A recent extensive review of studies done in geographies with maximum 100+ aged people showed that most of them practiced some form of calories restriction (CR) right from childhood.

2. Calorie restriction (CR) is defined as consuming fewer (10-30% lower) calories as compared to usual.
This can be achieved by either intermittent fasting, or time-restricted feeding or substantially reducing carbohydrate intake.

3. In ageing, #Insulin increases and insulin sensitivity decreases, which increase the risk of #diabetes, #obesity and #cardiovascular diseases. CR reverses these- reduces insulin levels and increases insulin sensitivity. #Glucose levels also reduce with CR.
Examining pulse of a patient with “MOTOR NEURON DISEASE” helped me find a cure
1.Motor neuron disease (MND) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a progressive neurological disease causing severe weakness and wasting of muscles. It has no cure and results in death in most.

2. A 50-year old man consulted me 6 months ago for a second opinion. He had complaints of difficulty in swallowing, slurred speech, weakness and wasting of muscles of arms and legs, which had progressed over previous 9 months.

3. He was seen by neurologist and after needle electromyography; diagnosis of ALS was made. In view of grave prognosis, patient wished for second opinion. On examination, he had muscle fasciculation, wasting of tongue, arms and leg muscles. Deep tendon reflexes were exaggerated.
T3 testing is not routinely needed in managing patients with primary #hypothyroidism
1. Primary hypothyroidism is a common hormonal disorder, which is treated with levo-thyroxine (T4) replacement.

#MedTwitter #endocrinology
2. In order to assess the adequacy of T4 dose, some clinicians routinely order #T3 along with #T4 and #TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). Is routine T3 testing really needed in cases of primary hypothyroidism?
3. Clinician would be able to determine the adequacy or over-replacement of levo-thyroxine (T4) dose on the basis of T4 and TSH levels.
*In cases of over-replacement, T4 will be elevated and TSH suppressed.
*In cases of adequate dosing of T4, TSH and T4 levels would be normal.
*In cases of over-replacement, T4 will be elevated and TSH suppressed.
*In cases of adequate dosing of T4, TSH and T4 levels would be normal.

THYROID AND HEME
1. Thyroid and RBCs
We often order a TSH as part of the w/u for anemia. But do we really understand the connection between thyroid disorders and anemia? Is there a causal relationship? If so, how common a cause are they?

Thyroid hormones regulate liver enzymes. When the liver is fatty, thyroid hormones don’t work right. #HepaticHypothyroidism
Hepatic enzymes responsive to #thyroid hormones will slow down when the liver is fatty. Thyroid hormone has a dominant effect on HMG-CoA reductase in the liver which regulates cholesterol levels which is why #hypothyroidism causes high cholesterol. #HepaticHypothyroidism
Thyroid hormone regulates fatty acid β-oxidation in the liver. This is a process that breaks down fat for energy. #NAFLD impedes the process in a viscous cycle where liver fat continues to build up, energy levels plummet, unresponsive to thyroid hormone. #HepaticHypothyroidism
Let's hear The Evidence For and Against Combination #Thyroid Hormone therapy by Dr. Bianco #AACE2022 #Endotwitter. This conversation is controversial here are some of the main slides
Patient's on Lt4 reporting a lot of residual symptoms in energy, cognition
Normal physiology the majority of thyroid hormone production is T4 (16:1 T4:T3) and gets converted peripherally to T3 (5mcg made in thyroid, 25mcg made peripherally)

¿Es la TSH el mejor parámetro para evaluar la Tiroides?🧐

Antes que nada hay que recordar que la fisiología del cuerpo depende de una homeostasis entre sistemas de comunicación.
Por lo tanto resulta importante entender que nunca un solo laboratorio determinará nada sin tener una congruencia con el individuo.

⚠️Recordemos que el eje Hipotálamo-Hipófisis-Tiroides es dependiente de una retroalimentación negativa.
T3 es la hormona que realiza la retroalimentación.
T3 depende directamente proporciconal de la T4 y de la actividad de las MDY1 y 2!
Cambios en las MDY = cambios en el eje

Hey #MedTwitter,
❗️It is common to be told not to assess thyroid function in severely ill patients unless clearly indicated.
Why?🤔
Today's 🧵 is about the famous euthyroid-sick syndrome.🔎

How are thyroid function tests in euthyroid-sick syndrome?
"If you're on thyroid medication, Dr. Duke stresses the importance of checking in with your thyroid throughout pregnancy. "The fetal brain [and] spinal cord start forming at around 21 days, and the pregnancy hormone can actually activate your thyroid,” she explains.
“So, sometimes medicine needs to be tweaked in the first trimester. I check it with the first pregnancy test, and then once per trimester, and at delivery."

Our next paper: Abnormal #thyroid function is common in #takotsubo syndrome and depends on two distinct mechanisms: results of a multicentre observational study onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
In this study, we compared patients with #takotsubo syndrome (#TTS) with age- and sex-matched normal subjects from the #NHANES collective and with patients affected by acute coronary syndrome (#ACS) from the AQUA FONTIS study (@StudyAqua). Main outcome measure was serum #FT4.
With artificial intelligence / machine learning we identified two clusters of #thyroid function in #TTS and three clusters in the whole population. #AI #ML pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33179374/

2 | TSH correlates to #allostatic load, measured by #SIQALS 2 score. Although #TSH rises, #FT4 and #FT3 concentration don't go down. Therefore, TSH doesn't reflect #hypothyroidism, but an increased setpoint due to type 2 #allostasis. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

If a woman loses more than 80ml of blood in one period, the bleeding is heavy.
Although methods of quantifying the exact amount of blood loss are not usually accurate, most women know when their period is heavy & heavy usually often come with blood clots.

Nearly 20% of women over 30 years have #fibroids.
They are of different types & may cause heavy menstrual bleeding.
Treatment depends on the many factors. So see your doctor.

Many people, especially women in Perimenopause when Progesterone levels are rapidy dropping, start developing Low Thyroid symptoms yet tests show within reference range. common symptoms would show as
⬆️ sensitivity to the cold
Fatigue
Constipation
Difficulty w/ weight loss

To counter-balance leads to Estrogen both hindering the conversion of T4 to T3 but also binds to cell receptor sites where activated Thyroid hormone would bind & instruct the towards cell metabolic activity #Hormones #Menopause #Perimenopause #thyroid #keto #LCHPMF

What is the diagnosis?
In patients with cirrhosis, always try to find the cause in those who present early. There is no idiopathic, no cryptogenic. Its all 'missed' cirrhosis.
