left thyroid nodule-,TBSRTC- category 3

Dear homeopaths Require your view on this case diagnosed as "MND" 46/f Symptoms towards homeopathic case taking as follows Ascending paralytic weakness began a yr ago with Rt sided foot drop . During investigation it was found that pt also had a benign thyroid nodule which was removed ( hoping it may reverse the case ) but it made no major changes -hence diagnosis of MND was clinched .. Patient always complained of low back ache Used to have reddish urine prior to development of these complains( bil. kidney stones found later in USG ) Currently patient is moving around and managing her activities with help /wheel chair..is experiencing weakness Facial countenance is happy yet..(also she s not aware of exact nature of her prob ), Her preference in food had always been sea food No difficulty in bowel bladder habits Apetite good.. Poor thirst /intake of water has always been der F/h -,mother -brain tumor and sister breasts ca No h/o neurological illnesses While it appears to point towards "lyco " on basis of general . Would still like to take your valuable suggestions on the other probable medicines Kindly share your thoughts and guide me ! Ty !!!

SARCOIDOSIS. Sarcoidosis is a multi system inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology that predominantly affects the lungs and intra thoracic lymph nodes. Sarcoidosis is manifested by the presence of non caseating granulomas ( NCG's ) in affected organs. It is characterised by a seemingly exaggerated immune response against a difficult - to - discern antigen. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS. The presentation of sarcoidosis depends on the extent and severity of organ involvement. *Asymptomatic. *Systematic complaints like fever and anorexia. *PULMONARY MANIFESTATION Dyspnea on exertion. Cough. Chest pain Hemoptysis. Pulmonary findings on physical examination can be Usually normal. Crepitus. External oxygen desaturation. LOFGREN SYNDROME. Fever,bilateral hilarious lymphadenopathy and polyarthralgias. DERMATOLOGICAL MANIFESTATION. *-Erythema nodosum. *A lower extremity panniculitis with painful erythematous nodules. *Lupus permit ( the most specific associated cutaneous lesion ) *Violaceous rash on cheeks and nose ( common ) *Maculopapular plaques ( uncommon ) OCULAR MANIFESTATION. *Anterior or posterior granulomatous uveitis. *Conjunctival lesions and scleral plaques. If untreated can lead to blindness. OTHER POSSIBLE MANIFESTATION. *Osseous involvement. *Heart failure from cardiomyopathy. *Heart block and sudden death. *Lymphocytic meningitis. *Cranial nerve palsies and hypothalamic / pituitary dysfunction. DIAGNOSIS. *Chest X-RAY central to the evaluation. *High resolution CT identifies active alveolitis versus fibrosis. *Gallium scans. *Pulmonary function tests and carbon monoxide diffusion capacity test of the lungs( DLCO ) for carbon monoxide is used routinely in evaluation and follow up. An isolated decrease in DLCO is the most common abnormality. *Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is a sensitive test for identifying and quantifying the extent of pulmonary involvement.I t also suggests cardiac involvement that otherwise is not evident. IMPAIRED HEART RATE RECOVERY DURING THE FIRST MINUTE FOLLOWING EXERCISE HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE AN INDEPENDENT PREDICTOR FOR CARDIOVASCULAR AND ALL CAUSE MORTALITY. DIAGNOSIS REQUIRES BIOPSY IN MOST CASES.ENDOBRONCHIAL BIOPSY VIA BRONCHOSCOPY IS OFTEN DONE.THE CENTRAL HISTOLOGICAL FINDING IS THE PRESENCE OF NON CASEATING GRANULOMAS WITH SPECIAL STAINS NEGATIVE FOR FUNGUS AND MYCOBACTERIA. *Hypercalcemia. *Hypercalcuria. *Elevated alkaline phosphatase level. *Elevated angiotensin converting enzyme level. STAGING OF SARCOIDOSIS. STAGE O : Normal chest radiographic findings. STAGE I. : Bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy. STAGE II : Bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy and infiltrates. STAGE III : Infiltrates alone. STAGE IV : fibrosis. TREATMENT. Most patients do not require therapy and their condition improves spontaneously. Markers for poor prognosis are Advanced chest radiography stage. Extra pulmonary disease Evidence of pulmonary hypertension. Most patients require symptomatic treatment with NSAID 's for treatment of arthralgias. Treatment for patients with pulmonary involvement. *Asymptomatic patients do not require treatment. *In patients with minimal symptoms,serial re evaluation is prudent *Treatment is indicated for patients with severe symptoms. *Corticosteroid are helpful. *For extra pulmonary sarcoidosis involving heart,liver,eyes,kidney and central nervous system , corticosteroid therapy is indicated. *Topical steroids are useful for ocular disease. Common indications for non - corticosteroid are *Steroid resistant disease. *Intolerable adverse effects of steroids. Non corticosteroid agents are METHOTREXATE CHLOROQUINE and HYDROCHLOROQUINE used for cutaneous lesion,hypercalcemia,neurologic sarcoidosis and bone lesions. CHLOROQUINE is useful for Acute and maintenance treatment of chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis. CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE is used in refractory sarcoidosis. AZATHIOPRINE is best used as a steroid sparing agent. CHLORAMBUCIL is beneficial in patients with progressive disease unresponsive to steroids. CYCLOSPORINE is of limited benefit in skin sarcoidosis or in progressive sarcoidosis resistant to conventional therapy. INFLIXIMAB & THALIDOMIDE are used for refractory sarcoidosis. FOR PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED PULMONARY FIBROSIS FROM SARCOIDOSIS,LUNG TRANSPLANTATION REMAINS THE ONLY HOPE FOR LONG TERM SURVIVAL. LONG TERM MONITORING. *Monitor pulmonary function and chest radiography every 6 months. *Assess for progression or resolution. *Determine if previously uninvolved organs have become affected. *Annual slit lamp examination and ECG are recommended.

can someone tell me the findings in this xray. the patient is a 40yrs female with chest pain and dyspnoea. ECG is normal

16/M boy c/o this condition since 1 month Gps already given him 625 ,azithral etc DX and management plz
