Hashimoto's thyroiditis

The zoonotic potential of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) has been established owing to similarities in clinical findings and pathological lesions between Johne’s disease (JD) (Paratuberculosis) in animals and Crohn’s disease (CD) in humans. Clinical symptoms of paratuberculosis results in chronic intermittent diarrhea, fever, weight loss and remission and relapse, with unresponsiveness to antibiotics leading to progressive wasting, emaciation and death. Pathological lesions

(central) hypothyroidism. In primary hypothyroidism, the thyroid tissue gets affected and losses functionality leading to diminished production of TH. Some causes of primary hypothyroidism are endemic iodine deficiency, autoimmune Hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis), loss of thyroid function due treatment of hyperthyroidism, medications and radiation therapies around head and neck. On the other hand central hypothyroidism is caused by pituitary malfunction and hypothalamic malfunction. Congenital hypothyroidism

threatening infections. Immunodeficiency may be an effect of inherited disease passed down. Autoimmunity happens from a hyperactive immune system attacking normal tissue believing they are foreign organisms. Some familiar autoimmune diseases are hashimoto’s thyroiditis, diabetes mellitus type 1, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis. Research show that exercise and a good diet make the immune system strong. However, there are studies that reveal that overly forceful exercise can lessen

Week 7 Assignment 1 Discussion Question Two VG is a thirty-one-year-old female who comes in for a routine follow-up. She reports that she has been feeling excessive fatigue over the last month. She also notes that she is having some problems at work, not only because of her fatigue but also because of difficulty concentrating. She also notes that she has gained 10 pounds over the last month, and she is unable to identify the cause of the weight gain. She also notes that her periods are a little

Graves’ disease is the next most common autoimmune thyroid disease afterHashimoto’s thyroiditis. It is named after Robert James Graves, the nineteenth-century Irish physician who published a description of three patients with thiscondition in 1835 in the London Medical and Surgical Journal. Caleb Parry was the firstphysician to identify this disease, collecting eight cases, but unfortunately, they werepublished after his death in 1825 without the accolade or fame. Carl Adolph von Base-dow described

CC Mrs. Lambert is a 52-year-old female here today for followup regarding her palpitations, anxiety and she would like to discuss abdominal pain. HPI The patient was seen last in the office on March 6th. Please see that note for complete details. At that time, she was having anxiety and panic attacks. We did talk about options. She had previously taken Celexa and thought that she wanted to try that again. However, when she did try it, she did not like the way it made her feel. She says that

When observing the female body, one can see that she has two chromosomes. A normal female has 46 chromosomes in totality. These chromosomes typically are two pairs of X's or one pair of Y and X chromosomes. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, a chromosome is defined as “The DNA molecule packaged into thread-like structures.” These chromosomes are located in the nucleus of each cell. Turner syndrome occurs when an X chromosome is completely or partially lost. When a male and female

Background to Antinuclear Antibody Testing The detection of autoantibodies against intracellular targets called antinuclear antibodies (ANA) is important in the diagnosis of systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARD) such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren's syndrome (SjS), mixed connective tissue diseases (MCTD), systemic sclerosis (SSc) and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Testing for ANA is therefore a logical first step in the differential evaluation of patients when systemic

Definition Vitiligo is defined as an autoimmune disease with a strong genetic component, characterized by areas of depigmented skin resulting from loss of epidermal melanocytes (Changbing, 2016). The term vitiligo derives Latin and was first used by Celsus in his De Medicina (Iannella, 2015). This disease causes the loss of skin color and it becomes blotchy. The extent and rate of color loss from vitiligo are uncertain. It can affect the skin on any part of the body examples would be hair, the insides
