                                          Thyroid disease
                 Thyroid disease is defined as a condition of malfunction of thyroid gland.

Thyroid disease: Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome

Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome is a condition affected individuals with elevated serum thyroid hormone levels and inappropriately normal or elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) usually required no treatment(a). Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome affects approximately 1 in 40,000 live births involved over 100 differently identified mutations.

A. Symptoms
1. Hyperactivity, emotional lability, a below average intelligence quotient, and short stature
Thyroid hormone resistance mutations are associated with a wide variety of symptoms. including hyperactivity, emotional lability, a below average intelligence quotient, and short stature(1).

2. Hyperthyroid symptoms
People with resistance to thyroid hormone may be experience hyperthyroid symptoms, such as sudden weight loss, rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), increased appetite, nervousness, anxiety and irritability, tremor, etc., if they were born to a mother with Graves' disease and treated with methimazole and iodine(2)(3).

3. Psychiatric disorders
Children born in families with resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH)may develop psychiatric symptoms(4).

4. Other symptoms
According to the study by the Northwestern University Medical School, resistance to thyroid hormone can cause, delayed bone maturation, hyperactivity, learning disabilities, and hearing defects, as well as variable features of hyper- and hypothyroidism(5), failure to thrive, growth retardation and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in childhood, and goitre and thyrotoxic cardiac symptoms in adults(5a).

B. Causes
Genetic mutation
Thyroid hormone resistance of genetic mutation, such as THRbeta gene, A317T(7) and E333D(8), MCT8(9) and SECISBP2(9) has showed to effect (9) the thyroid hormone receptor in causation of reduced hormone binding affinity, concentration of free thyroid hormone in the circulation(6).
Syndromes of reduced sensitivity to thyroid hormone due to gene mutation may also affect the movement of ions and enzyme involved in the activation or deactivation of thyroid hormones, according to the University of Chicago. In rare case, patients may also explicit impaired thyroid hormone production involved two rare congenital disorders, such as lingual ectopy of the thyroid gland and resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH)(10).

B.2. Risk factors
1. Dominant inheritance
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is an inherited syndrome of reduced tissue in response to production of thyroid hormone due to effect of mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor beta (TR beta) gene in induced impairment of T3-mediated function( (11). Gene R243W mutation in thyroid hormone receptor β in father, without showing any symptom but not the mother, was also detected in the offspring(12).

2. Graves' disease
In thyroid hormone receptor β mutations, usually inherited in an autosomal-dominant pattern may also present in baby with hyperthyroid symptoms born to a mother with Graves' disease and treated with methimazole and iodine(12).

3. Minor alterations at the DNA level
Mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor (TR) beta gene is found to be associated with 122 different mutations of resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH), in induction of minor alterations at the DNA level, according to the study by the Stoke Mandeville Hospital(13).

C. Complications and diseases associated to Thyroid hormone resistance
C.1. Complications
1. Growth retardation/short stature and skeletal dysplasia
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) has shown to responsible for growth retardation/short stature, skeletal dysplasia, constipation, and defective thyroid receptor α (TRα) in children(14).

2. Hyperthyroxinemia
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is an uncommon inherited cause of hyperthyroxinemia due to inappropriate secretion of TSH, according to the study by the University of Cambridge, Addenbrooke's Hospital, United Kingdom(15).

3. Cardiovascular risk
Patients with resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) are shown to be associated with arterial stiffness and elevated LDL-cholesterol levels, the causation of increased cardiovascular risk(16).

C.2. Diseases associated to Thyroid hormone resistance
1. Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC)
Thyroid hormone resistance patients may be at increased risk to develop thyroid cancer(17), including papillary thyroid carcinoma(19).

2. A pituitary tumor
Inappropriate TSH secretion of resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) may have an inclination for the development of pituitary hyperplasia and adenoma(18).

3. Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
High-dose thyroid hormone replacement in treatment of patients with resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) may induce ameliorated the features of hypothyroidism but decreased number of circulating platelets (Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP))(20).

4. Postpartum thyroiditis
Although it is rare, woman affected by resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) caused by mutation V283A in THRB genes, may also experience to postpartum thyroiditis (PPT) after pregnancies(21).

5. Chronic thyroiditis
Coincidence of resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) and chronic thyroiditis is rare, but it can occur in patients with RTH, according to a report of the five-year medical history of a Japanese woman and her father with RTH (22).

D. Misdiagnosis and Diagnosis
D.1. Misdiagnosis
1. Hyperthyroidism
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) in some incidences may be initially misdiagnosed as hyperthyroidism(23).

2. Falsely diagnosis
Differential diagnosis of RTH vs. TSHoma is sometimes difficult and challenging as both syndromes show similarity of inappropriate secretion of TSH(SITSH).(25).

3. Coexistence of mutation genes
Coexistence gene mutations, such as of THRB and TBG in the same individual may complicate the interpretation of thyroid function tests because of different genetic defects in affecting thyroid function(26).

4. Grave's disease
RTH is often misdiagnosed as Graves' disease. Gene mutation differentiation in the thyroid hormone receptor beta may reduce risk of misdiagnosis(27).

D.2. Diagnosis
If you are experience certain symptoms of the above and your doctor suspects that you have developed abnormal thyroid function, after recording the past and present history and completing a physical exam, the tests may include
1. Urinary test
The aim of the test is to analyze the cortisol metabolites in urine. The alternation of both quantitatively and qualitatively have been found to be associated to thyroid dysfunction. The abnormal ratio of the urinary concentrations of cortisol metabolites appears to be a good marker for peripheral thyroid hormone resistance, according to Showa University(28).

2. Blood test
Unfortunately, the blood test results of the disorder can also be found in other disorders such as TSH-oma (pituitary adenoma), making the differential diagnosis of RTH vs. TSH-oma sometimes difficult and challenging(29).

3. Identifying a mutation of the thyroid receptor
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a rare condition usually diagnosed in patients with classic thyroid function tests (TFTs) of elevated thyroid hormone levels with nonsuppressed TSH.  Gene mutation diagnosis is always necessary for correct differentiation(30).

E. Treatments
Table. Suggested therapeutic approaches for resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) patients.

___________________________________________________________________
Drugs	Untoward effects and limitations
___________________________________________________________________
TRIAC	Effective in almost all patients
D-T4	Effective in almost all patients
T3	Production of daily peaks of very high T3 concentrations, which
	contribute to maintain clinical hyperthyroidism
Bromocriptine	Transient effect owing to TSH escape from inhibition
Sms analog	Transient effect owing to TSH escape from inhibition
Corticosteroid	Cause of severe inhibition of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function and cushingoid features
Antithyroid drugs	Cause of further increase in TSH circulating level with consequent increase of goiter size and to hyperplasia at pituitary thyrotroph level
b-blockers	Effects limited to b-adrenergic blockade. Propranolol inhibits peripheral conversion of T4 to T3, causing a worsening of tissue hypometabolic state. Cardiac selective compounds, such as atenolol devoid of effect on peripheral T4 conversion, appear to be more useful(31).

Women's Health - Premenstrual syndrome(PMS): The Symptoms(revised edition with references)

Some articles have been used as references in medical research, such as international journal Pharma and Bio science, ISSN 0975-6299.

Premenstrual syndrome is defined as faulty function of the ovaries related to the women's menstrual cycle, effected over 70% to 90% of women in the US and lesser for women in Southeast Asia because of difference in living style and social structure. The syndrome also interferes women's physical and emotional states, and daily activities as a result of hormone fluctuation and occurs one to two weeks before menstruation and then declines when the period starts.

The Symptoms
1. Emotional symptoms
a) Unhealthy diet(6)
Since we all know that our diet contains high amount of saturated and trans fat, unbalance of levels of essential fatty acids causes inability of liver in secreting bile into the digestive system and in fat and protein metabolism(7) that causes nervous tension resulting in increasing the emotional symptoms of PMS such as depression, anger, and fatigue(1), poorer sleep quality(2) stress(5), anxiety(3), irritability, aggression, tension, anxiety, depression, lethargy, insomnia, poor coordination and concentration, etc.(4).

b) Vitamins and minerals deficiency
It is unknown why women with PMS are found to have low levels of vitamin B6 and magnesium(8)(9). These may be caused by low levels of stomach acid or inability of digestive system in absorbing vital nutrients before period resulting in increasing nervous tension(10) and emotional and physical symptoms.

c) Hormone imbalance
Researchers found that women with PMS always have unbalance of levels of estrogen and progesterone before menstruation. It may be caused abnormal function of some glands in the body including the pituitary(14), thyroid gland(11). Over or under production of certain hormones such as serotonin, estrogen, progesterone, prolactin, adrenaline increases the nervous disorder resulting in symptoms of PMS.

d) Thyroid gland(10)
Women with PMS are found to have low thyroid function(12) resulting in increasing the risk of depression, stress, fatigue, tiredness, insomnia, etc.(13).

2. Physical symptoms
a) Foods and sugar craving
Strong liver is important for women with PMS. Unfortunately, most women with PMS are found to have sluggish liver function before menstruation caused by abnormal function of liver in carbohydrate synthesis and insulin regulating(15) resulting in foods and sugar craving(16).

b) Breast tenderness and water retention(17)
For what ever reasons, researchers show that some women with PMS are found to have high levels of prolactin and low levels of potassium as resulting in abnormal function of pituitary gland(18) and lymphatic function(19)(20) resulting in breast tenderness and water retention accordingly.

c) Palpitation(21)
Some women with PMS might experience heart palpitation, it is caused by malfunction of thyroid gland(23) and unbalance of estrogen and progesterone(24).

d) Menstrual cramps
Some women may experience menstrual cramps(25) which will disappear as soon as period start. It may be caused by irregular function of ovaries in hormones secretion or essential fatty acids deficiency(26) resulting in balancing levels of estrogen and progesterone and over production of certain hormone in the prostaglandins family(27).

Premenstrual syndrome is defined as faulty function of the ovaries related to the women's menstrual cycle, effected over 70% to 90% of women in the US and lesser for women in Southeast Asia because of difference in living style and social structure. The syndrome also interferes women's physical and emotional states, and daily activities as a result of hormone fluctuation and occurs one to two weeks before menstruation and then declines when the period starts.

Diagnosis
Premenstrual syndrome may be similar to other types of symptoms such as candida, diabetic reaction, allergic intolerance, thyroid function. As of today, no test can diagnose PMS, due to confusion over exact signs and symptoms, the only method is to photocopy and fill in the menstrual symptom diary(2). If there are increasing symptoms in the two weeks before menstruation then it may be premenstrual syndrome(1)(2).

Risk factors
Women in the below categories will be more likely to develop premenstrual syndrome.
1. Genetics and family history
If any one in your family have it, you may have it(4), although there is no proof about it. According to University of British Columbia, the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome was 43.0% and 46.8% in monozygotic and dizygotic twins, respectively found in genetic modeling(3).

2. Age
Fertile women are associated to increase risk of 86% in moderate to severe of PMS symptoms(5) compared to 95% of perimenopausal women(6).

3. Emotional and severe childhood physical abuse
Early childhood motional and severe childhood physical abuse are associated to risk of PMS in 2.6 and 2.1 time higher in comparison to those with no abuse(7).

4. Smoking
Smoking, especially in adolescence and young adulthood, may increase risk of moderate to severe PMS, according to University of Massachusetts(8).

5. Alcohol
Although alcohol drinking is not associated to risk of the syndrome, risk of premenstrual syndrome increased for early age at first use and long-term(9).

6. Early maternal age, and having more than three children
If you have children in early age or more than 3 children, your risk of premenstrual syndrome increases significantly(10).

7. Supplements intake
High intake of potassium was associated to a relative risk of 1.46 time higher compared to women in the lowest quintile. High intake of zinc supplements was marginally associated with PMS, according to University of Massachusetts(11).

8. Total fluid consumption a day
The prevalence of premenstrual syndrome increased if you consume more than 13-19 cups of fluid per day(12).

9. Caffeine
Consumption of caffeine-containing beverages, such as coffee and tea are associated to risk of premenstrual syndrome only to those drinking 7 to 10 cups per day(12).

10. Pregnancy succession
Your risk of PMS increases if you have experienced many pregnancies in quickly succession, but we can not find any study for supporting this risk factor.

11. High sugar and sweet intake
The prevalence of the premenstrual syndrome is higher in women with high intake of sugar and taste sweet(13).

12. Abnormal Hormone upheaval
If you have experienced a hormone upheaval caused by miscarriage(14), pregnancy, or pregnancy termination(15), you are at a high risk of developing PMS. Logically, it can happen, but we do not find any study to support this theory.
