Transposition of the Great Arteries (D-TGA).  (Legend.) A. The heart is enlarged with a narrow "pedicle" giving the so called "egg on a string" appearance. The superior mediastinum appears narrow due to the antero-posterior relationship of the transposed great vessels and "radiologic-absence of the thymus". B. The stress of hypoxia in the newborn period is believed responsible for thymic regression. Right posterior oblique view demonstrates widening of structures in the superior mediastinum due to the anteroposterior relationship of the aorta and pulmonary artery. Transposition of the Great Arteries (D-TGA) D-TGA accounts for some 5% of all congenital h

treatment of hypertension in hypothyroidism :: Article Creator Differences Between Hypoparathyroidism And Hypothyroidism Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone. Hypoparathyroidism is comparatively rare, where the parathyroid glands behind the thyroid do not produce enough parathyroid hormone. Both hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism are disorders of the endocrine system, which produces and secretes hormones. However, these conditions involve different glands and hormones and have different symptoms and treatments. This article outlines the similarities and differences between hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism and explains how doctors diagnose and treat these conditions. As the Endocrine Society explains, the thyroid and parathyroid glands are all part of the endocrine system — the network of glands that produce and secrete hormones. These hormones regulate a range of metabolic proc
