Q

Why NOT iodine before PTU/ METHIMAZOLE to treat thyroid storm?

A

Need to inhibit thyroid peroxidase with PTU first, otherwise iodine will be more available to be used as a substrate for T3/T4

25
Q

IGF-1R blocker
IGF-1R overexpressed in orbital fibroblasts and immune cells
Used when corticosteroids/ radiation fails or in severe cases

A

TEPROTUMUMAB

26
Q

Thyrotoxicosis –> increase the expression and activation of _______receptors –> more blood pumping (high output HF) so it appears to compensate for the heart failure

A

B1

27
Q

Exacerbation of already existing CHF (history of high output cardiac failure); both pulmonary and systemic congestion/CO variable

A

acute decompensated heart failure

28
Q

_______ increases abundance of beta1 receptors in heart and also increases sensitivity of these receptors to Epi and NE
Heart beats faster and increases inotropy (contractile strength) and eventually gets tired and fails
increase metabolism and metabolic demands of tissues– imposes demands on heart (increases CO to supply and remove metabolic products form tissues)

A

T3 and T4

29
Q

why is there a dilated IVC (>2.1 diameter)

A

IVC dilated due to increased back pressure due to pump failure

30
Q

other causes for high output heart failure

A

thyrotoxicosis, beriberi, and anemia

31
Q

impairs heart muscles ability to produce energy due to lack of thiamine

A

thiamine deficiency (beriberi)

32
Q

tachycardia because O2 supply/demand mismatch –> HF

A

anemia

33
Q

polyneuropathy, symmetric muscle wasting
deficiency in vitamin B1

A

dry beriberi

34
Q

high output cardiac failure (due to systemic vasodilation); vitamin B1 deficiency

A

wet beriberi

35
Q

pulmonary edema developing in very short period of time due to severe acute decompensation of HF

A

flash pulmonary edema

36
Q

to treat flash pulmonary edema

A

furosemide
nitrates

37
Q

The pituitary glycoprotein hormones FSH, LH, TSH, and hCG have common ___ subunits

A

α

38
Q

______ also acts on TSHR, leading to gestational thyrotoxicosis

A

39
Q

Anti-TSHR antibody diffusion into placenta → neonatal ______

A

thyrotoxicosis

40
Q

A

anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO)

44
Q

I-____ used for radioactive ablation of thyroid gland

A

I-131
