Thyroid: Symptoms, Causes & Diagnosis - Max Hospital

In this video, Dr Anjana Bhan, Senior Consultant at Max Hospital Panchsheel Park explains what thyroid is and what its symptoms, causes and methods of diagnosis. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck and is governed by the pituitary gland, which is the master gland in the brain. The pituitary gland secretes TSH which produces T3 & T4 hormones. It also controls a lot of body functions, such as reproductive functions, energy levels, metabolism, lipid levels etc. According to Dr Anjana, there can be many problems related to thyroid but the most common and prevalent one is the underactive thyroid which called hypothyroidism, in which T3 and T4 are less and TSH is high.

Concussion, also known as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), is typically defined as a head injury that temporarily affects brain functioning.[8] Symptoms may include loss of consciousness (LOC); memory loss; headaches; difficulty with thinking, concentration or balance; nausea; blurred vision; sleep disturbances; and mood changes.[1] Any of these symptoms may begin immediately, or appear days after the injury.[1] It is not unusual for symptoms to last 2 weeks in adults and 4 weeks in children.[9][2] Fewer than 10% of sports-related concussions among children are associated with loss of consciousness.[10]

Common causes include motor vehicle collisions, falls, sports injuries and bicycle accidents.[3][4] Risk factors include drinking alcohol[5] and a prior history of concussion.[9] The mechanism of injury involves either a direct blow to the head or forces elsewhere on the body that are transmitted to the head.[9] This is believed to result in neuron dysfunction, as there is increased glucose requirements but not enough blood supply.[2] Diagnosis requires less than 30 minutes of LOC, memory loss of less than 24 hours, and a Glasgow coma scale score of 13 to 15.[6] Otherwise, it is considered a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury.[6]
