"Orphan Annie eyes" came from the 20th century Little Orphan Annie comics, which portrayed the character has having unsettling blank eyes with no pupils. Pathologists must've felt the large nuclei in papillary thyroid carcinoma reminded them of their favorite childhood character. Love your work AJ!

I believe The pupil nuclei were called orphan annie eyes because the nuclei sometimes resembal the empty pale eyes used in the original comic strips art

Question 51, how does vitamin D deficiency cause hypokalemia? Is that supposed to be hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia?

[melesemknn]

Q no 19 The answer should be choice A.
Basal serum cortisol levels can be used to exclude the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency and to select patients for additional evaluation with corticotropin (ACTH) stimulation testing. A standard high-dose (250 mcg) corticotropin (ACTH) stimulation test should be performed to establish the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency in patients with equivocal serum cortisol values in whom hypoadrenalism is suspected.

23:08 Avoid Methimazole in 1st Trimester
Drugs of Choice
First trimester: propylthiouracil
Second and third trimester: methimazole

[vkgoyic]

Methimazole is the preferred drug for hyperthyroidism, in the first trimester PTU is the preferred. After the first trimester then you can switch over to methimazole

BTW Orphan Annie eyes refer to this cartoon character where the eyes are white .. it's from a long time ago. you'll find it if you do a google image search. I think I heard it from the Pathoma videos by Dr. Sattar.

in thyrotoxicosis SVR will increase, that why there will be HTN
it will not decrease as in the video

I noticed that on Q28 you have next to methimazole - mild graves and for use in 1st trimester, however 141 you have avoid methimazole first trimester (the correct answer). Just wanted to give a heads up :)
