Heat intolerance, weight loss, palpitations: These symptoms suggest hyperthyroidism.
Diffuse thyroid enlargement and exophthalmos: These signs strongly indicate Graves’ disease, an autoimmune form of hyperthyroidism where antibodies stimulate the thyroid to overproduce thyroid hormone.
Option Analysis:
A) Propylthiouracil (PTU): PTU is an antithyroid medication used to inhibit thyroid hormone synthesis. While it is an important treatment for Graves’ disease, it is not the first-line treatment in an acute setting. Beta-blockers are initially used to control symptoms such as palpitations and tachycardia.
B) Radioactive iodine: Radioactive iodine is a definitive treatment for Graves’ disease, as it destroys overactive thyroid tissue. However, it is not used as an initial treatment to control acute symptoms.
C) Beta-blockers: This is the correct answer. Davidson and Harrison explain that beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol) are used to manage the adrenergic symptoms of hyperthyroidism (palpitations, tremors, anxiety) while more definitive treatments (e.g., antithyroid medications or radioactive iodine) are initiated.
D) Thyroidectomy: Thyroidectomy is reserved for patients who fail medical therapy or cannot tolerate other treatments. It is not used as initial treatment for hyperthyroidism.

Injury to the external laryngeal nerve is more common because of its proximity to the superior thyroid artery. This leads to loss of tension in the vocal cord with diminished power and range in the voice. Patients, particularly those who use their voice professionally, must be advised that any thyroid operation will result in change to the voice even in the absence of nerve trauma.

Most pulmonary emboli (60% to 80%) are clinically silent because they are small. With time they become organized and are incorporated into the vascular wall; in some cases organization of the thromboembolus leaves behind a delicate, bridging fibrous web.
• Sudden death, acute right heart failure (cor pulmonale), or cardiovascular collapse occurs when emboli obstruct 60% or more of the pulmonary circulation( Large emboli).
• Embolic obstruction of medium-sized arteries with subsequent vascular rupture can result in pulmonary hemorrhage but usually does not cause pulmonary infarction.
• Embolic obstruction of small end-arteriolar pulmonary branches often does produce hemorrhage or infarction.
• Multiple emboli over time may cause pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure.

Emphysema is a chronic obstructive airway disease characterized by permanent enlargement of air spaces distal to terminal bronchioles.
It is a component of along with chronic bronchitis.
Subtypes include centriacinar (most common, smoking related), panacinar (seen in α1-antitrypsin deficiency), distal acinar and irregular.

• Hyperplasia is defined as an increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue in response to a stimulus.
• Hyperplasia is the result of growth factor-driven proliferation of mature cells and, in some cases, by increased output of new cells from tissue stem cells.
• Physiological hyperplasia occurs in – breast during puberty, liver after hepatectomy
• Pathological hyperplasia occurs in – BPH, wart & endometrial tumour

The following are characteristics of fast fibers:
1. Fast fibers are large for great strength of contraction.
2. Fast fibers have an extensive sarcoplasmic reticulum for rapid release of calcium ions to initiate con- traction.
3. Large amounts of glycolytic enzymes are present in fast fibers for rapid release of energy by the glycolytic process.
4. Fast fibers have a less extensive blood supply than slow fibers because oxidative metabolism is of sec- ondary importance.
5. Fast fibers have fewer mitochondria than slow fibers, also because oxidative metabolism is secondary.
A deficit of red myoglobin in fast muscle gives it the name white muscle.

During normal quiet respiration, only 3% to 5% of the total energy expended by the body is required for pulmonary ventilation. However, during heavy exercise, the amount of energy required can increase as much as 50-fold, especially if the person has any degree of increased airway resistance or decreased pulmo- nary compliance. Therefore, one of the major limitations on the intensity of exercise that can be performed is the person's ability to provide enough muscle energy for the respiratory process alone.

In X-linked recessive disorders-
1. Affected cases are usually males carrying the gene.
2. Homozygous females can be affected, but this is rare.
3. Heterozygous females usually do not express the full phenotypic changes because of the paired normal allele.
4. Only females are carriers.
5. If a female has the allele (female carrier) with a normal male, off springs will be
- 50% daughters carrier, 50% normal
- 50% sons affected, 50% normal
6. If a male has the allele (affected male) with a normal female the off springs will be
- All daughters carrier
- All sons normal (no male to male

The gene for the hormone has been cloned, and recombinant erythropoietin produced in animal cells is available for clinical use as epoetin alfa.
The recombinant erythropoietin is of value in the treatment of the anemia associated with kidney failure; 90% of the patients with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis are anemic as a result of erythropoietin deficiency. Erythropoietin is also used to stimulate red cell production in individuals who are banking a supply of their own blood in preparation for autologous transfusions during elective surgery (see Chapter 31).

The cell and the intracellular organelles are surrounded by semipermeable membranes. Biological membranes have a lipid bilayer core that is populated by structural and functional proteins. These proteins contribute greatly to the semipermeable properties of biological membrane.

Necroptosis -is a hybrid that shares aspects of both necrosis and apoptosis. Morphologically, and to some extent biochemically, it resembles necrosis, as both are characterized by loss of ATP, swelling of the cell and organelles, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), release of lysosomal enzymes, and ultimately rupture of the plasma membrane.
Mechanistically, it is triggered by signal transduction pathways that culminate in cell death, a feature similar to apoptosis. Because of these overlapping features, necroptosis is sometimes called programmed necrosis to distinguish it from forms of necrosis driven passively by toxic or ischemic injury to the cell.
Can occur both physiology and pathological condition.

Fever, pleuritic chest pain, and haemoptysis: These are common symptoms of pulmonary embolism (PE), particularly when there is pulmonary infarction.
History of recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT): DVT is the most common source of emboli in PE, making this history highly suggestive of PE as the cause.
Option Analysis:
A) Pulmonary embolism: This is the correct diagnosis. Davidson and Harrison explain that pulmonary embolism occurs when a thrombus from the venous system (often from the leg veins) embolises to the pulmonary arteries. The combination of pleuritic chest pain, haemoptysis, and a history of DVT strongly suggests PE.
B) Pneumonia: Pneumonia causes fever, cough, and pleuritic chest pain, but it usually presents with productive sputum, not haemoptysis. Additionally, a history of recurrent DVT is not typically associated with pneumonia.
C) Lung cancer: Lung cancer can cause haemoptysis and chest pain, but it is usually a chronic process associated with weight loss and a mass on imaging. This patient's history of recurrent DVT and acute presentation make PE more likely.
D) Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis can cause fever, haemoptysis, and pleuritic chest pain, but it typically presents with chronic symptoms and is associated with a history of exposure or travel to endemic areas. The acute onset and history of DVT make PE more likely.
