What you must know about Frontotemporal Dementia?
According to Dr. Kalyani Dilip Karkare, Consultant - Neurologist and Epileptologist, Manipal Hospital Millers Road, dementia is an overall reduction in the functions of the brain, which can be global or focal. This means a patient may lose all brain functions, or the problem may just be specific to naming difficulty, orientation or face recognition.
Cleveland Clinic reports that FTD is a type of dementia that is caused due to damage to one’s frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. FTD causes changes in social behaviour, personality, and/or loss of language skills. It is a common cause of early dementia and mainly occurs in people aged between 45 and 64.

Hypothyroidism During Pregnancy? Find Out How Essential It Is to Diagnose It Early?
Thyroid hormones (T3 & T4) are produced by the thyroid gland which is a butterfly-shaped gland situated in the front of the neck. The synthesis of thyroid hormone is controlled by TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) produced by the pituitary gland (master gland). The diagnosis of Hypothyroidism is based on an elevated TSH level with normal or low thyroid hormones. The production of insufficient thyroid hormones is called hypothyroidism.
Diagnosing hypothyroidism in pregnancy is a tricky task, especially in the first trimester. A pregnancy hormone, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is elevated in the first three months of pregnancy which mimics TSH, thus reducing the TSH levels and causing a challenge. But, it resolves by the end of the first trimester.
If the TSH level is between 2.5 and 10 level it is called Subclinical Hypothyroidism. “Subclinical Hypothyroidism does not have obvious symptoms. In this situation, Thyroid peroxidase Antibodies (TPO) is checked, and if they are positive, a TSH level between 4 and 10 requires treatment. A TSH level between 2.5 and 4 can be observed by checking in 2 to 4 weeks. The diagnosis can be missed if it is based only on symptoms of hypothyroidism like constipation, tiredness, sleepiness, etc. as it can overlap with pregnancy symptoms,” adds Dr Sharda.
