Shrinkage in the size of the cell by loss of cell substance is known as atrophy. It represents a form of adaptive response. When a sufficient number of cells are involved , the entire tissue or organ diminishes in size or becomes atrophic. Atrophy can be physiologic or pathologic. Physiologic atrophy is common during early development. Some embryonic structures, such as the notocord or thyroglossal duct, undergo atrophy during fetal development. The uterus decreases in size shortly after parturition and this is a form of physiologic atrophy. Pathologic atrophy depends on the basic cause and can be local or generalized. The common causes of atrophy are the following: - Hypothyroidism By :
Hypothyroidism is caused by any structural or functional derangement that interferes with the production of adequate levels of thyroid hormone . It can result from a defect anywhere in the hypothalamic pituitary thyroid axis. As in the case of hyperthyroidism, this disorder is divided into primary and secondary categories depending on whether the hypothyroidism arises from an intrinsic abnormality in the thyroid or occurs as result of hypothalamic or pituitary disease. The causes of hypothyroidism can be divided in to several categories. - Hyperthyroidism By :
Thyrotoxicosis is a hypermetabolic state caused by elevated levels of free T3 and T4. It is often referred to as hyperthyroidism because it is caused most commonly by hyperfunction of the thyroid gland. When these elevated levels arise from hyperfunction of the thyroid as occurs in Graves disease, the thyrotoxicosis may correctly be called hyperthyroidism. When the increased hormone levels reflect excessive leakage of hormone out of a nonhyperactive gland, however it is properly referred to as thyrotoxicosis. Long usage often equates these terms. By either name the syndrome is manifested by nervousness, palpitations, rapid pulse, fatigability, muscular weakness, weight loss with good appetite, diarrhea heat intolerance, warm skin , excessive perspiration, emotional lability, menstrual changes, a fine tremor of the hand (particularly when outstretched), eye changes and variable enlargement of the thyroid gland. Throtoxicosis can be caused by a variety of disorders. - Hashimoto Thyroiditis By :
Hashimoto thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in areas of the world where iodine levels are sufficient. It is characterized by gradual thyroid failure because of autoimmune destruction of the thyroid failure because of autoimmune destruction of the thyroid gland: The name Hashimoto thyroiditis is derived from the 1912 report by Hashimoto describing patients with goiter and intense lympocytic infiltration of the thyroid (e.g., struma lymphomatosa). This disorder is most prevalent between 45 and 65 years of age and is more common in women than men, with a female predominance of 10:1 to 20:1. Although it is a primarily a disease of older women, it can occur in children and is a major cause of nonendemic goiter in children. The disease clusters in families and the concordance rate in monozygotic twins is 30 to 60%. Some cases Some cases of Hashimoto throiditis are associated with HLA-DR5 ; a majority are characterised by severe thyroid atrophy and are linked to HLA-DR3. This suggests that two different pathogenic mechanisma may play a role in the development of the disorder. The usual course of Hashimoto thyroiditis is gradual loss of thyroid function although the inflammatory process early in the disorder may be sufficiently severe to cause thyroid follicular disruption and transient hyperthyroidism. The frequency of other autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rhematoid arthritis , is increased in patients with Hashimoto disease as it is in individuals with Graves disease. - Aplastic anemia By :

Inflammation of the walls of vessels called vasculitis, is encountered in diverse disease and clinical settings. Vessels of any type in virtually any organ can be affected; this leads to a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, which often includes constitutional signs and syumptoms , such as fever, myalgias, artralgias, and malaise. The two most common mechanisms of vasculitis are immune-mediated inflammation and direct invasion of vascular walls by infectious pathogens. Infections can directly induce a noninfectious vasculitis , for example by generating immune complexes or triggering cross-reactivity. In a particular patient, it is critical to distinguish between directly infectious and immunologic mechanisms because the treatment approaches differ widely for example the immunosuppressive therapy appropriate for immune mediated vasculitis would be potentially harmful for infectious vasculitis. Physical and chemical injury, such as irradiation , mechanical trauma and toxins, can also cause vascular damage. In such cases one or a relatively few vessels may be affected, as for example in a localized area of infection , irradiation, or mechanical trauma. - Choose the Right Foods to Lower Your Blood Sugar Levels By : Julia Hanf
