Sub-Acute Thyroiditis presenting as pyrexia of unknown origin: A rare case with literature review.

Pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) is a challenging entity in medical practice from a diagnostic point of view. Sub-Acute Thyroiditis (SAT), that is an inflammatory condition of thyroid, self-limiting and easily treatable, is a very rare cause for PUO with a few published cases and unfortunately not considered in routine for the differential diagnosis (DD) of PUO. Usually, it presents with mild thyrotoxicosis signs and symptoms, painful goiter, and rarely with cervical Lymph adenopathy.

Breast metastasis from medullary carcinoma of thyroid: A case report with literature view.

Primary Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in females but secondary involvement of breast is very rare. The Most common sites of primaries for breast metastasis are breast carcinoma of contra lateral side, Lymphoma and leukaemia. Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) itself is rare and commonly metastasises to liver, lung and bones.

Evans Syndrome and pregnancy: A case report with literature review.

Evans syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease in which an individual's antibodies attacks the body's own red blood cells and platelets.1 There is a coexistence of Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) with Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) and both of these events may occur simultaneously or one follows the other. 2 Association of Evans syndrome with pregnancy is very rare, and only a few cases have been published in medical literature.

Monitoring and Evaluation of Thyroid Function Tests, Serum Electrolytes and Creatinine Levels Before and After 131I Therapy.

Background: Serum electrolytes, Creatinine, and thyroid profile play an important role in 131I treated patients of thyroid disorders.

Objectives: To determine the effect of radioactive iodine (131I) on renal parameters, serum electrolytes and the correlation among TFT'S, creatinine, and chloride levels before and after I131 treatment in thyroid disorders.

Methods: The study was performed on 55 patients of thyrotoxicosis with age ranging from 16-65 years (mean age= 41±14years and BMI=24.

Raman spectroscopy for the characterization of different fractions of hemp essential oil extracted at 130°C using steam distillation method.

In this study, Raman spectroscopy along with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used for the characterization of pure essential oil (pure EO) isolated from the leaves of the Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.,) as well as its different fractions obtained by fractional distillation process. Raman spectra of pure Hemp essential oil and its different fractions show characteristic key bands of main volatile terpenes and terpenoids, which significantly differentiate them from each other.

Primary thyroid lymphoma: a rare thyroid malignancy.

Incidence of thyroidal masses is very high with predominance in females. Most of these masses are benign. Malignancy can be of thyroid or non-thyroid origin.
