MuhammadHemida why feel for tracheal deviation in a thyroid exam?

[SUBAS2007]

Just brilliant!

[soulja187um]

what about pemberton's sign?

[fantumscribblaz]

u should also examine the skin.....u get icthiosis, which is dry flaky skin, in hypothyroidism

[cancelled0ut]

VVeVery relaxing video

[nateisback27]

i feel something move. its not like a small lump. it feels like it has a ridge like one would find on a peech. is this just the natural feel of the thyroid????

[MuhammadHemida]

Yes dr. Marie , she missed tracheal deviation test , she also forgot to put her hands on the patient head while examinning the lid lag sign ( von graeve sign )

[MuhammadHemida]

Yes dr. Marie , she missed tracheal deviation test

[TeslaDRay]

Nice shade of green.

[TeslaDRay]

videos like this help me fall asleep, but not out of boredom. you alll know what i mean, come on.

[TeslaDRay]

she's a pretty young doctor, probsbly late 20's. when you look at schooling, what is it? 2 years pre med, 4 years med, 4 years residency?

[AlbertDarwin007]

That doctor is hot.

[thepriceofreality]

when auscultating over the thyroid gland isn't the patients meant to hold their breath in end expiration? ....."hold your arms up like a chicken" - i'm so using that phrase! haha

[ojmorris80]

Very complete. Pemberton's sign and character of phonation would be my only additions.

[spiegler]

This came up on my OCSE finals, and I aced it. Thanks Dr. Michelle Downie, I LOVE YOU.

[bratmeloda]

[BrightSocks]

This was most helpful with my revision. And that lady is more than welcome 2 examin me any day she was very professional...... and attractive ..... :)

[TheFitz741]

@BrightSocks yo just say it dood, she got tig ol bitties hahaha

[addamrocks2006]

My doctor does that to me which is apart of my physical.

[rmcdaniel423]

By visually examining, and physically palpating the trachea and surrounding structures, I believe she did effectively check for swelling and tracheal deviations. 

One question: She mentioned auscultating for thyroid bruits. What pathophysiology would that imply?

[skoolbui18]

a thyroid mass can compress one of the thyroid arteries... causing a bruit to be heard.

Another possibility is that the increased blood demand of the gland in hyperthyroid goiter can generate increased flow, causing a bruit to be heard.

[freejojo89]

you didn't check for the relation between the swelling & the skin or surrounding structure or the tracheal deviation

[mrcnblue]

I just found out today that I have an over active thyroid. Can it be cured?

[Marshmellow01]

best see a doctor about it lol

[miwsher]

@mrcnblue the best thing is to confirm that there's no associated malignancy, and then you can control your overactive gland by means of medications as recommended by your doctor. :) eg beta blockers, possible antithyroid meds such as carbimazole or propriothyrouracil

[bawain]

god i hate the thyroid .. thx for this video,, it was helpful :)

[xPlantpoTx]

what is thyroid exactly, i suffer from panic attacks and wondering if its worth taking up with my doctor ?

[saxophoneman23]

From what i've seen on the internet the thyroid is a gland in the neck which releases hormones to control the rate of your metabolism and other bodily functions.

If it's over or underactive and so releases too much or too little of the hormones and one of the symptoms is panic attacks, anxiety and depression (these are symptoms of hyperthydroidism which is when its overactive) so i guess it could be worth talking to your doctor about it.

[stevetoffa]

Nice.. Thank u

[SuperMilano22]

thanks alot doctor .. so helpful

it is useful for my OSCE examination ,

KSA

[Bluviont]

This test as well as its timing are perfect for students who will undergo their OSCE exam, thank you very much doctor =)

[marie8805]

she missed out checking for tracheal deviation

[Frebus24]

wow just googled this doctor and she was attacked by five people with her husband in new zealand, he needed reconstructive surgery and everything. hope he's okay now, it was like in 2006 but still.

[oholiboko]

[piddleton]

fine - point us in the right direction then?

[sliceadice]

thank you very much. very useful

[robertspringthorpe]

Apparently in the next station they swap roles to do a breast examination

Giggerty giggerty....

[doublebarrel85]

This is a great video. Thanks for including all of the peripheral signs of thyroid disease alongside the thyroid exam itself.

[TechPrograms]

LOL LOL

[acapriccio]

think it's worthwhile mentioning to the patient to not move his head while his eyes follow your finger. also don't forget to wash hands before and after the examination. to ensure the patient doesn't use his arms in assisting to get up, ask him to fold his arms in front of his chest.

[satvinder1987]

thank you soldaditorebelde..ur a life saver..

[Fitzy741]

@kiashamed yeeeee lololololol

[Kriyn]

thanks for this vid!!!

[drkhalidpenjweni]

nice and wonderful video but with low quality and turbid sound

[delenne33]

I have a question

I had a full physical

my doctor checked

my Thyroid, I had a CT scan, and an ekg, and the doctor could find nothing wrong, the reason I went is because I shake a lot, in my arms, and hands and in my legs, but they could find nothing wrong, if anyone has any ideas on why or what i can do to stop the shaking, please post your comments

[jinjukazooie]

Does anybody in your family shake too? It might be something called benign familial tremor... It might be treatable with beta blockers if it's really affecting you.

[delenne33]

knowone in my family does

[MarkLown]

Does it improve when you consume alcohol?

[ahmology]

do u do drugs?? and is there any other symptoms

[robertspringthorpe]

I find I smile a lot when I do sildenafil :o)

[ahmology]

drugs/medication i meant ..... ??
