0.9% saline (NaCl solution), commonly referred to clinically as Normal saline, is isosmotic and isotonic to cells in the body. Serum osmolarity is normally around 290 mOsm/liter.   Now, what would happen clinically if one infused 500 ml of Normal Saline into the vascular system of a patient? In other words, how would the water and ions (Na and Cl) be distributed in the plasma, interstitial fluid and intracellular compartment? From each grouping of three choices, pick the correct statement for each group.

A. Pick one choice from a, b and c below:

a.       The infused water would be distributed evenly between the extracellular compartment and the cells.

b.      The infused water would be distributed mostly to the intracellular space as opposed to the extracellular space.

c.       The infused water would be distributed between the extracellular compartment and very little would enter the cells.

B. Pick one choice from d, e and f below:

d.      The ions would be distributed evenly between the extracellular compartment and the cells.

e.       The ions would be distributed mostly to the intracellular space as opposed to the extracellular space.

f.        The ions would be distributed between the extracellular compartment and very little would enter the intracellular space.

best areas to get credible information is from PubMed.

Sally, a 60 yr-old female has been diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disorder called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Sally showed up in the clinic for her Hashimoto’s today. She is currently taking no medications.

1. What is the difference between “signs & symptoms”?
2. What signs and symptoms would you expect Sally to tell you she is experiencing?
3. What type of disorder is this related to? (High thyroid hormone or low)? What is the actual term?
4. Explain the feedback mechanism of thyroid hormone. Start by identifying the different structures that are involved in the brain and the periphery. What substances (hormones) are released in response to each of these?
5. In the individual with “Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis” what would you expect the labs to show relative the following hormones? T3, T4, TSH, TRH?
6. Which of the thyroid hormones is considered “active hormone” and which is considered “inactive hormone”?
7. Explain why TSH is increased in hypothyroidism.
8. What medication is used to treat Hashimoto’s? What is its mechanism of action?
9. Are there any foods that can be eaten (or avoided) for individuals with Hashimoto’s?
10. There are some nutrients and metals that are required cofactors for the production of thyroid hormone. If you had to design a supplement that would optimize Sally’s production of hormones, what kinds of things would you put in it?
11. If someone takes too much of their medication, what signs and symptoms will they exhibit? What condition is this similar to?
12. What is meant by subclinical hypothyroidism? Why is this difficult to treat?
13. Imagine someone is not taking medication and they have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. Why might they sometimes exhibit signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism as well as hypothyroidism?
14. Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disease. What is an autoimmune disease and how do you know this is an autoimmune disease?
15. What antibodies would you expect to see in Hashimoto’s?
