{"title":"Subclinical Hypothyroidism, Its Manifestations and Management a Case Report","authors":"Pablo Sisiruca, Gustavo Adolfo Socorro Calderas","doi":"10.4236/ojim.2023.133020","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4236/ojim.2023.133020","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Thyroid states can be associated with psychiatric manifestations, be it hypothyroid, hyperthyroid or even euthyroid. The effect of depression is significant in subclinical hypothyroidism. Sometimes, its signs and symptoms are indistinguishable from Major Depressive Disorder. Our immunological system and early embryologic origins also play a role in the coexistence of other comorbidities like Pernicious Anemia. Case: A 35-year-old Hispanic female presented with significant low mood, somnolence, weight gain, increased hunger, cold intolerance and epigastric pain. It is important to note the variety of clinical manifestations of our hypothyroidism patient to understand its associations and help us with a better approach to treatment. Discussion: Standard approaches to treatment of Subclinical Hypothyroid-ism will depend mostly on laboratory findings such as TSH levels and free T4. Individualized therapy chosen for our patientwas based on his mood symptoms, laboratory findings and coexistence of Pernicious Anemia. The use of daily 0.025 mg of levothyroxine, 10 mg of escitalopram oxalate and weekly injections of cyanocobalamin were treatments of choice. Conclusion: During follow up of our patient, we can conclude that Levothyroxine and Escitalopram Oxalate was able to improve hypothyroidism symptoms, reduce thyroglobulin and peroxidase antibodies and improve mood symptoms including cognitive functions. In addition to this, weekly cyanocobalamin injectionswere integrated into the management. As parietal cell antibodies decreased, gastrointestinal symptoms also disappeared. By addressing the concerns of our patient, we improved quality of care, and this reflected on the patient’s wellbeing being the physical and psychological.","PeriodicalId":60567,"journal":{"name":"内科学期刊(英文)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70665708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is often the result of a thoraco-abdominal trauma. It can generally lead to early or late cardiopulmonary complications due to compression. The objective of this clinical case is to study the physiopathological mechanisms, the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities of this complication. The diagnosis is often difficult in front of a diaphragmatic rupture since there are no specific clinical signs. In our case, the clinical picture on arrival was that of a high occlusion in an immediate postoperative context. The X-ray which makes it possible to visualize the as-cended organs but more difficultly the rupture itself could not be carried out. Treatment is essentially surgical.

The documentary research was carried out to have a better understanding of strategies used to create and develop the NRCs in microbiology of communicable diseases.
