57 Year Old female with goiter and thyrotoxicosis

This 57 year olf lafy presented with neck swelling, anxiety and tremor. Her medical information is attached below:












We need to take a decision on this lady. To operate or not to operate. Now that our clinical suspicions of thyroticosis have been proved and malignancy not proved (not disproved either) what would be the next best step? Medical management for her thyrotoxicosis or still get an excision biopsy with sub total thyroidectomy (and subtotal thyroidectomy other than disproving malignancy will also become treatment for her hyperthyroidism). So which one should we prefer (if the family has no reservations from their side)?

drugs to avoid or use in terms of their pregnancy category

The optimal AEDs therapy of women with epilepsy who are of childbearing age is unclear because of a lack of conclusive data on the comparative teratogenicity of different antiseizure drugs and no antiepileptic drug has proven safe in pregnancy in terms of teratogenesis. Data on the comparative efficacy of various antiseizure drugs for controlling seizures during pregnancy are also quite limited, and there are no randomized trials in this setting. Treatment must be individualized for all patients. Women with epilepsy are classified as high risk during pregnancy and as there are no clear data indicating that any drug is without risk in pregnancy therefore, the antiseizure drug regimen should be optimized six months prior to planned conception.  Choice of antiepileptic drugs in women of childbearing age and  pregnant women with epilepsy:  1.
