Unmasking of thyrotoxicosis during anaesthesia
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Correspondence to: Dr PC So Two cases of subclinical and undiagnosed thyrotoxicosis that presented with unexplained tachycardia during surgery are described. Differential diagnosis and logistics in the management of patients presenting with tachycardia, with or without fever during anaesthesia are discussed. It is emphasised that when encountering unexplained tachycardia during anaesthesia, thyrotoxicosis must be suspected. Investigations for thyrotoxicosis must be carried out in the postoperative period.

Introduction: Thyroid hormones are involved in the regulation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) biosynthesis. The aim of this study is to determine effects of thyrotoxicosis on H2S levels and mRNA expression of cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST) in the adipose tissue of rat. Materials and Methods: Male rats were divided into the ...
متن کاملComparative frequency of four different types of pregnancy-associated thyrotoxicosis in a single thyroid centre
BACKGROUND Pregnancy and delivery markedly influence thyroid function. However, the comparative prevalence of gestational thyrotoxicosis (GT), new onset of Graves' disease during pregnancy (GD during pregnancy), postpartum destructive thyrotoxicosis (PPT), and postpartum Graves' thyrotoxicosis (PPGD) has not yet been determined. METHODS We prospectively registered and performed a review of 41...
