Overview
In 1949, commercial synthesis of levothyroxine was done successfully. In 1974, an international committee of thyroid pathologists published the first WHO histological classification of thyroid tumours which had served as a basis for various clinical, pathological, and epidemiological studies.
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- Ancient documented texts with reference to goiter have been seen dating back to 2700 BC. [1]
- References to goiter as ‘galaganda’ and its description in detail was cited in Indian Ayurvedic medicine in the 1400 BC. [2] [1]
- In the 7th century, two forms of goiter such as steatomatous goiter and hyperplastic/hyperemic goiter were described by Paulus Aegineta. [1]
- In 1656, the exact anatomical structure of the thyroid gland was discovered by a famous anatomist named Thomas Wharton. [1]
- In 1836, a paper was written on ‘Observations on the Thyroid Gland’ by Thomas Wilkinson King, the Father of Endocrinology, and described thyroid colloid, and its importance.[1]
- While working on monkeys between the years 1884 and 1886, Sir Horsley discovered that thyroidectonomy led to myxoedema and cretinism. [1]
- In the 19th century iodine was discovered by the Parisians Courtois. [1]
- In 1974, an international committee of thyroid pathologists published the first WHO histological classification of thyroid tumours which had served as a basis for various clinical, pathological, and epidemiological studies. [3]
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In the 6th century, the surgical treatment of goiter was mentioned by Aetius. Aetius also made references to ‘Atheromatous’ goiters. [4]
- In the 7th century, thyroid surgery on struma was performed by Paulus Aegineta. [1]
- In the 10th century, Albucasis removed a large goiter of a man under opium sedation which is supposedly the first reliable account of a thyroid surgery. [1]
- In the 14th century, Guy de Chaliac, a French surgeon reported that goiter as a hereditary disease and recommended surgical treatment for it. [2] [1]
- Coindet of Geneva was the first person to use iodine as a remedy for goiter and prescribed hydriodate of potash or ‘tincture of iodine’. [1]
- In 1833, salt iodization was suggested by Boussingault in order to prevent goiter. In 1835, he also demonstrated that the incidence of goiter was reduced when salt from goiter-free regions was used in regions with endemic goiter. [1]
- In 1907, David Marine proved that iodine is necessary for thyroid function. [1]
- In 1909, the Nobel Prize was awarded to Emil Theodor Kocher, for his work in thyroidology. [1]
- In 1917, Marine introduced prevention of goiter with iodine by suggesting a low dose of 1:100000 parts of iodine. [1]
- In 1943, Hertz, Roberts and Leblond used radioactive iodine was used in the treatment Graves disease. [1]
- In 1949, commercial synthesis of levothyroxine was done successfully. [1]
