a.
To determine: The patients who are on the smeared reports on the basis of results of TSH.
Introduction: The butterfly-shaped gland is the thyroid gland. It is situated across the trachea just below the larynx and at the base of the throat. It weighs about 15-20 g. The thyroid gland has two different types of cells: C cells, which secrete calcitonin and follicular cells, which release thyroid hormone.

To determine: Whether any of the three people can be ruled out on the basis of TSH results.
Introduction: Thyroid hormones have long-lasting effects on

He is in the emergency room today because of heart abnormalities and is found to have hyperinsulinemia. You would also expect his blood analysis to show: hyperkalemia hypokalemiaarrow_forwardCushing’s syndrome is a disorder that occurs when your adrenal glands release too much cortisol.Sometimes, Cushing’s is caused by a hormone-secreting tumor that leads to dysregulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal gland axis. Below, are listed a few tests doctors perform to determine the specific cause of Cushing’s in each patient. Please read the description of the test and possible results and respond to the prompts below. 1 Measure blood levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). If ACTH levels are lower than normal, where is the tumor? How do you know? Remember, this person has high cortisol levels 2 Conduct a corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) stimulation test where you inject a shot of CRH. If this test results in a normal increase in ACTH levels, where is the tumor? How do you know? 3 Inject a very high-dose of compound that is a cortisol-receptor agonist. A few hours later measure levels of circulating ACTH. If the test results in normal…arrow_forwardThe symptoms of Cushing’s disease include abdominal obesity, hypertension, glucose intolerance (steroid diabetes), hirsutism, osteoporosis, polyuria, and polydipsia. Describe the consequences of cortisol excess that would produce each of these symptoms. Which tests can be performed to determine if a patient has primary or secondary Cushing’s disease? What would the results of these tests be for each type of disease?arrow_forward
