Enfermedades tiroideas. Enfoque en el hipertiroidismo Thyroid Disorders - Focus on Hyperthyroidism Edited by Gonzalo Diaz Soto, ISBN 978-953-51-1384-3, 278 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published May 21, 2014 under CC BY 3.0 license DOI: 10.5772/57001 Edited Volume The thyroid disorders are one of the most common and exciting areas of endocrinology. Hypothyroidism, multinodular goiter, hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer are only few of the several implications that the thyroid disorders have in health. In fact, thyroid hormones regulate not only metabolism process, but also many other molecular and physiological systems. From this point of view, hyperthyroidism complications are a good example of the significance of thyroid hormone actions. This book aims to provide a general view of thyroid disorders, and a deeper explanation of hyperthyroidism and its complications and impact in health. Libro / Book Una nueva mirada al hipotiroidismo A New Look at Hypothyroidism Edited by Drahomira Springer, ISBN 978-953-51-0020-1, 266 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published February 17, 2012 under CC BY 3.0 license DOI: 10.5772/1215 Edited Volume Hypothyroidism is the most common thyroid disorder. It can cause a variety of changes in women's menstrual periods, reduce their chances of becoming pregnant, as well as affect both the course of pregnancy and the neuropsychological development of babies. During pregnancy there is a substantially increased need for thyroid hormones and a substantial risk that a previously unnoticed, subclinical or latent hypothyroidism will turn into overt hypothyroidism. The thyroid inflammation caused by the patient's own immune system may form autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis). Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) occurs in approximately 1:2,000 to 1:4,000 newborns. Nearly all of the developed world countries currently practice newborn screening to detect and treat congenital hypothyroidism in the first weeks of life. "A New Look at Hypothyroidism" contains many important specifications and innovations for endocrine practice.

La patología tiroidea, en especial el hipertiroidismo, constituye un reto de diagnóstico y manejo. Si duda, George Crile fue uno de los pioneros más importantes que dio inicio el manejo de estos pacientes hace poco más de un siglo. Su historia es fascinante y puede leerla en el PDF anexo. Geoge Washington Crile Actualización en patología tiroidea Ibáñez Toda L, Marcos Salas MV. En: AEPap (ed.). Curso de Actualización Pediatría 2017. Madrid: Lúa Ediciones 3.0; 2017. p. 161-74. Resumen La disfunción tiroidea, incluyendo el hipotiroidismo clínico y subclínico en embarazadas, y la enfermedad de Graves-Basedow de inicio pregestacional, son entidades con potencial repercusión sobre la salud de la madre, la evolución de la gestación y el desarrollo físico y neurológico del feto y neonato. El hipotiroidismo subclínico es una entidad prevalente en Pediatría. Se define como el aumento de las concentraciones de TSH por encima de los valores de referencia para la población. En general, es una entidad benigna con bajo riesgo de evolución a hipotiroidismo clínico. La tiroiditis de Hashimoto es la causa más frecuente de disfunción tiroidea en países con suficiencia de yodo, y puede asociarse a otras enfermedades autoinmunes. En la enfermedad de GravesBasedow el tratamiento de primera elección son los antitiroideos. Los tratamientos alternativos (cirugía y ablación con yodo radiactivo 131 [131I]), están indicados en pacientes con efectos secundarios al fármaco o con falta de respuesta al tratamiento médico. En este capítulo, presentamos una actualización práctica de los conocimientos sobre la etiología, diagnóstico y tratamiento de las entidades mencionadas PDF Pruebas bioquímicas de la tiroides: La TSH es la mejor y a menudo, la única prueba necesaria - Una revisión para la atención primaria. Biochemical Testing of the Thyroid: TSH is the Best and, Oftentimes, Only Test Needed - A Review for Primary Care. Sheehan MT1. Clin Med Res. 2016 Jun;14(2):83-92. doi: 10.3121/cmr.2016.1309. Epub 2016 May 26.Abstract Disorders of thyroid function are common, and screening, diagnosis, and management are often performed by primary care providers. While management of significant biochemical abnormalities is reasonably straight forward, laboratory tests only slightly outside, or even within, the normal range are becoming more difficult to appropriately manage. A large part of this increasing difficulty in appropriate management is caused by patients requesting, and even demanding, certain tests or treatments that may not be indicated. Symptoms of thyroid dysfunction are non-specific and extremely prevalent in the general population. This, along with a growing body of information available to patients via the lay press and internet suggesting that traditional thyroid function testing is not reliable, has fostered some degree of patient mistrust. Increasingly, when a physician informs a patient that their thyroid is not the cause of their symptoms, the patient is dissatisfied and even angry. This review aims to clarify the interpretation of normal and mild abnormalities of thyroid function tests by describing pituitary-thyroid physiology and through an in depth review of, arguably, the three most important biochemical tests of thyroid function: TSH, free T4, and anti-TPO antibodies. It is important for primary care providers to have an understanding of the shortcomings and proper interpretation of these tests to be better able to discuss thyroid function with their patients. PDF Hormonas tiroideas, estrés oxidativo e inflamación Thyroid Hormones, Oxidative Stress, and Inflammation. Mancini A1, Di Segni C1, Raimondo S1, Olivieri G1, Silvestrini A2, Meucci E2, Currò D3. Author information Abstract Inflammation and oxidative stress (OS) are closely related processes, as well exemplified in obesity and cardiovascular diseases. OS is also related to hormonal derangement in a reciprocal way. Among the various hormonal influences that operate on the antioxidant balance, thyroid hormones play particularly important roles, since both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism have been shown to be associated with OS in animals and humans. In this context, the nonthyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) that typically manifests as reduced conversion of thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3) in different acute and chronic systemic conditions is still a debated topic. The pathophysiological mechanisms of this syndrome are reviewed, together with the roles of deiodinases, the enzymes responsible for the conversion of T4 to T3, in both physiological and pathological situations. The presence of OS indexes in NTIS supports the hypothesis that it represents a condition of hypothyroidism at the tissue level and not only an adaptive mechanism to diseases.
