Condition

Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common form of primary headache globally, characterized by a bilateral, pressing or tightening sensation often described as a “band around the head.” Unlike migraines, tension headaches do not typically involve nausea or visual disturbances and are less likely to interfere with daily activities. While they can be episodic or

Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of the synovial sheath, the thin layer of tissue that surrounds tendons. It typically occurs in areas where tendons pass through narrow anatomical tunnels, particularly in the hands, wrists, feet, and ankles. The condition can result in pain, swelling, restricted movement, and in severe cases, tendon damage. Unlike general tendonitis, which

Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor (TGCT) is a rare, typically benign tumor that arises from the synovium—the thin layer of tissue lining joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths. It is characterized by proliferation of synovial-like cells, leading to mass formation and joint damage. TGCT most commonly affects the knee, ankle, hip, and fingers, and is divided into

Tendonitis, also known as tendinitis, refers to the inflammation or irritation of a tendon—the fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone. This condition typically results from overuse or repetitive strain, leading to pain, swelling, and restricted movement in the affected area. Tendonitis can affect any tendon in the body, but it most commonly occurs in

Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by Bordetella pertussis. While it can affect individuals of any age, it is particularly dangerous for infants under two months who are too young to be vaccinated. Maternal immunization with the Tdap vaccine during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, has proven

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a chronic, often irreversible neurological condition characterized by involuntary, repetitive movements. These movements typically affect the face, lips, tongue, trunk, and limbs. TD is most frequently associated with long-term use of dopamine receptor-blocking agents, particularly antipsychotic medications used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric conditions. Causes and Risk Factors

The T3 suppression test is a specialized diagnostic tool employed in the evaluation of thyroid gland functionality, particularly in distinguishing between autonomous thyroid activity and normal regulatory function. This test assesses the pituitary-thyroid axis by observing the thyroid’s response to exogenous triiodothyronine (T3) administration. Traditionally used in differentiating thyroid nodules or confirming subclinical hyperthyroidism, the
