Hypothyroidism
A syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND, leading to a decrease in BASAL METABOLIC RATE. In its most severe form, there is accumulation of MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the SKIN and EDEMA, known as MYXEDEMA.
Congenital Hypothyroidism
A condition in infancy or early childhood due to an in-utero deficiency of THYROID HORMONES that can be caused by genetic or environmental factors, such as thyroid dysgenesis or HYPOTHYROIDISM in infants of mothers treated with THIOURACIL during pregnancy. Endemic cretinism is the result of iodine deficiency. Clinical symptoms include severe MENTAL RETARDATION, impaired skeletal development, short stature, and MYXEDEMA.
Thyroxine
The major hormone derived from the thyroid gland. Thyroxine is synthesized via the iodination of tyrosines (MONOIODOTYROSINE) and the coupling of iodotyrosines (DIIODOTYROSINE) in the THYROGLOBULIN. Thyroxine is released from thyroglobulin by proteolysis and secreted into the blood. Thyroxine is peripherally deiodinated to form TRIIODOTHYRONINE which exerts a broad spectrum of stimulatory effects on cell metabolism.
Thyrotropin
A glycoprotein hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Thyrotropin stimulates THYROID GLAND by increasing the iodide transport, synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE). Thyrotropin consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH; LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
Thyroid Function Tests
Blood tests used to evaluate the functioning of the thyroid gland.
Thyroid Hormones
Natural hormones secreted by the THYROID GLAND, such as THYROXINE, and their synthetic analogs.
Hyperthyroidism
Hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND. Elevated levels of thyroid hormones increase BASAL METABOLIC RATE.
Thyroid Gland
A highly vascularized endocrine gland consisting of two lobes joined by a thin band of tissue with one lobe on each side of the TRACHEA. It secretes THYROID HORMONES from the follicular cells and CALCITONIN from the parafollicular cells thereby regulating METABOLISM and CALCIUM level in blood, respectively.
Triiodothyronine
A T3 thyroid hormone normally synthesized and secreted by the thyroid gland in much smaller quantities than thyroxine (T4). Most T3 is derived from peripheral monodeiodination of T4 at the 5' position of the outer ring of the iodothyronine nucleus. The hormone finally delivered and used by the tissues is mainly T3.
Propylthiouracil
A thiourea antithyroid agent. Propythiouracil inhibits the synthesis of thyroxine and inhibits the peripheral conversion of throxine to tri-iodothyronine. It is used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopeoia, 30th ed, p534)
Thyroid Dysgenesis
Defective development of the THYROID GLAND. This concept includes thyroid agenesis (aplasia), hypoplasia, or an ectopic gland. Clinical signs usually are those of CONGENITAL HYPOTHYROIDISM.
Thyroid Diseases
Pathological processes involving the THYROID GLAND.
Goiter
Enlargement of the THYROID GLAND that may increase from about 20 grams to hundreds of grams in human adults. Goiter is observed in individuals with normal thyroid function (euthyroidism), thyroid deficiency (HYPOTHYROIDISM), or hormone overproduction (HYPERTHYROIDISM). Goiter may be congenital or acquired, sporadic or endemic (GOITER, ENDEMIC).
Thyroiditis, Autoimmune
Inflammatory disease of the THYROID GLAND due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-CELLS and thyroid AUTOANTIBODIES. The clinical signs can range from HYPOTHYROIDISM to THYROTOXICOSIS depending on the type of autoimmune thyroiditis.
Myxedema
A condition characterized by a dry, waxy type of swelling (EDEMA) with abnormal deposits of MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the SKIN and other tissues. It is caused by a deficiency of THYROID HORMONES. The skin becomes puffy around the eyes and on the cheeks. The face is dull and expressionless with thickened nose and lips.
Antithyroid Agents
Agents that are used to treat hyperthyroidism by reducing the excessive production of thyroid hormones.
Iodine
A nonmetallic element of the halogen group that is represented by the atomic symbol I, atomic number 53, and atomic weight of 126.90. It is a nutritionally essential element, especially important in thyroid hormone synthesis. In solution, it has anti-infective properties and is used topically.
Iodide Peroxidase
A hemeprotein that catalyzes the oxidation of the iodide radical to iodine with the subsequent iodination of many organic compounds, particularly proteins. EC 1.11.1.8.
Thyroiditis
Inflammatory diseases of the THYROID GLAND. Thyroiditis can be classified into acute (THYROIDITIS, SUPPURATIVE), subacute (granulomatous and lymphocytic), chronic fibrous (Riedel's), chronic lymphocytic (HASHIMOTO DISEASE), transient (POSTPARTUM THYROIDITIS), and other AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS subtypes.
Methimazole
A thioureylene antithyroid agent that inhibits the formation of thyroid hormones by interfering with the incorporation of iodine into tyrosyl residues of thyroglobulin. This is done by interfering with the oxidation of iodide ion and iodotyrosyl groups through inhibition of the peroxidase enzyme.
Neonatal Screening
The identification of selected parameters in newborn infants by various tests, examinations, or other procedures. Screening may be performed by clinical or laboratory measures. A screening test is designed to sort out healthy neonates (INFANT, NEWBORN) from those not well, but the screening test is not intended as a diagnostic device, rather instead as epidemiologic.
Hashimoto Disease
Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis, characterized by the presence of high serum thyroid AUTOANTIBODIES; GOITER; and HYPOTHYROIDISM.
Thyroglobulin
Graves Disease
A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).
Thyroidectomy
Surgical removal of the thyroid gland. (Dorland, 28th ed)
Immunoglobulins, Thyroid-Stimulating
Autoantibodies that bind to the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor (RECEPTORS, THYROTROPIN) on thyroid epithelial cells. The autoantibodies mimic TSH causing an unregulated production of thyroid hormones characteristic of GRAVES DISEASE.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Therapeutic use of hormones to alleviate the effects of hormone deficiency.
Receptors, Thyrotropin
Cell surface proteins that bind pituitary THYROTROPIN (also named thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH) and trigger intracellular changes of the target cells. TSH receptors are present in the nervous system and on target cells in the thyroid gland. Autoantibodies to TSH receptors are implicated in thyroid diseases such as GRAVES DISEASE and Hashimoto disease (THYROIDITIS, AUTOIMMUNE).
Thyrotoxicosis
A hypermetabolic syndrome caused by excess THYROID HORMONES which may come from endogenous or exogenous sources. The endogenous source of hormone may be thyroid HYPERPLASIA; THYROID NEOPLASMS; or hormone-producing extrathyroidal tissue. Thyrotoxicosis is characterized by NERVOUSNESS; TACHYCARDIA; FATIGUE; WEIGHT LOSS; heat intolerance; and excessive SWEATING.
Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone
A tripeptide that stimulates the release of THYROTROPIN and PROLACTIN. It is synthesized by the neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, TRH (was called TRF) stimulates the release of TSH and PRL from the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.
Hypothalamic Diseases
Neoplastic, inflammatory, infectious, and other diseases of the hypothalamus. Clinical manifestations include appetite disorders; AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; SLEEP DISORDERS; behavioral symptoms related to dysfunction of the LIMBIC SYSTEM; and neuroendocrine disorders.
Iodine Radioisotopes
Unstable isotopes of iodine that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. I atoms with atomic weights 117-139, except I 127, are radioactive iodine isotopes.
Autoantibodies
Antibodies that react with self-antigens (AUTOANTIGENS) of the organism that produced them.

Pregnancy Complications
Conditions or pathological processes associated with pregnancy. They can occur during or after pregnancy, and range from minor discomforts to serious diseases that require medical interventions. They include diseases in pregnant females, and pregnancies in females with diseases.
Endocrine System Diseases
Pathological processes of the ENDOCRINE GLANDS, and diseases resulting from abnormal level of available HORMONES.
Hypopituitarism
Diminution or cessation of secretion of one or more hormones from the anterior pituitary gland (including LH; FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE; SOMATOTROPIN; and CORTICOTROPIN). This may result from surgical or radiation ablation, non-secretory PITUITARY NEOPLASMS, metastatic tumors, infarction, PITUITARY APOPLEXY, infiltrative or granulomatous processes, and other conditions.
Perchlorates
Compounds that contain the Cl(=O)(=O)(=O)O- structure. Included under this heading is perchloric acid and the salts and ester forms of perchlorate.
Iodides
Inorganic binary compounds of iodine or the I- ion.
Pituitary Diseases
Disorders involving either the ADENOHYPOPHYSIS or the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS. These diseases usually manifest as hypersecretion or hyposecretion of PITUITARY HORMONES. Neoplastic pituitary masses can also cause compression of the OPTIC CHIASM and other adjacent structures.
Goiter, Nodular
An enlarged THYROID GLAND containing multiple nodules (THYROID NODULE), usually resulting from recurrent thyroid HYPERPLASIA and involution over many years to produce the irregular enlargement. Multinodular goiters may be nontoxic or may induce THYROTOXICOSIS.
Galactorrhea
Excessive or inappropriate LACTATION in females or males, and not necessarily related to PREGNANCY. Galactorrhea can occur either unilaterally or bilaterally, and be profuse or sparse. Its most common cause is HYPERPROLACTINEMIA.
Euthyroid Sick Syndromes
Conditions of abnormal THYROID HORMONES release in patients with apparently normal THYROID GLAND during severe systemic illness, physical TRAUMA, and psychiatric disturbances. It can be caused by the loss of endogenous hypothalamic input or by exogenous drug effects. The most common abnormality results in low T3 THYROID HORMONE with progressive decrease in THYROXINE; (T4) and TSH. Elevated T4 with normal T3 may be seen in diseases in which THYROXINE-BINDING GLOBULIN synthesis and release are increased.
Rhabdomyolysis
Necrosis or disintegration of skeletal muscle often followed by myoglobinuria.
Pituitary Gland
A small, unpaired gland situated in the SELLA TURCICA. It is connected to the HYPOTHALAMUS by a short stalk which is called the INFUNDIBULUM.
Carbimazole
An imidazole antithyroid agent. Carbimazole is metabolized to METHIMAZOLE, which is responsible for the antithyroid activity.
Pregnancy
The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.

Enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis is associated with increased expression of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent Lon protease. (1/2275)

Rats bearing the Zajdela hepatoma tumor and T3-treated hypothyroid rats were used to study the role of protein degradation in the process of mitochondrial biogenesis. It was shown that the activity, protein and mRNA levels of the ATP-dependent Lon protease increased in rapidly growing Zajdela hepatoma cells. The increase in the rate of mitochondrial biogenesis by thyroid hormone was similarly accompanied by enhanced expression of the Lon protease. The results imply that mitochondrial biogenesis in mammalian cells is, at least partially, regulated by the matrix Lon protease.  (+info)

Expression of uncoupling protein-3 and mitochondrial activity in the transition from hypothyroid to hyperthyroid state in rat skeletal muscle. (2/2275)

We sought a correlation between rat skeletal muscle triiodothyronine (T3)-mediated regulation of uncoupling protein-3 (UCP3) expression and mitochondrial activity. UCP3 mRNA expression increased strongly during the hypothyroid-hyperthyroid transition. The rank order of mitochondrial State 3 and State 4 respiration rates was hypothyroid < euthyroid < hyperthyroid. The State 4 increase may have been due to the increased UCP3 expression, as the proton leak kinetic was stimulated in the hypothyroid-hyperthyroid transition and a good correlation exists between the State 4 and UCP3 mRNA level. As a significant proportion of an organism's resting oxygen consumption is dedicated to opposing the proton leak, skeletal muscle mitochondrial UCP3 may mediate part of T3's effect on energy metabolism.  (+info)

Stimulation of Na,K-ATPase by hypothyroidism in the thyroid gland. (3/2275)

Although studies have documented the regulatory effects of thyroid hormones on the Na,K-ATPase in peripheral tissues, there is little information on the regulation of this transporter in the thyroid gland itself. Accordingly, we investigated the effects of thyroid status on Na,K-ATPase specific activity and the abundance of its constituent subunits in rat thyroid. Exogenous tri-iodothyronine (T3) was administered daily to produce hyperthyroidism. 6n-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU), an inhibitor of thyroid hormone synthesis, was used to induce hypothyroidism. There was a four-fold increase in Na,K-ATPase specific activity in the follicular membranes from PTU-treated animals after 7 days. Enzymatic activities were not changed in the T3-treated glands. Immunoblotting of membranes from T3-treated rats revealed a 75% reduction in alpha1 subunit abundance and a slight, but nonsignificant reduction in beta1 abundance. On the other hand, the membranes from PTU-treated rats displayed 136 and 567% increases in the abundance of the alpha1 and beta1 subunits respectively. These data demonstrate that thyroid hormone status regulates Na,K-ATPase in the gland, but the effects are in direct contrast to those seen in the periphery.  (+info)

Electrophysiologic effects of chronic amiodarone therapy and hypothyroidism, alone and in combination, on guinea pig ventricular myocytes. (4/2275)

Amiodarone is a widely used antiarrhythmic drug, the mechanisms of action of which remain incompletely understood. Indirect evidence suggests that the class III properties of amiodarone may be mediated by cardiac antithyroid effects. We sought to determine whether the effects of chronic amiodarone on repolarization in guinea pig hearts can be attributed to an antithyroid action by studying the changes in dofetilide-sensitive rapid (IKr) and dofetilide-resistant slow (IKs) delayed rectifier currents, inward rectifier K+ current (IK1), and action potentials of ventricular myocytes from five groups of guinea pigs: control, hypothyroid, amiodarone-treated for 7 days, hypothyroid plus amiodarone, and vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide) treated. IKs was reduced by amiodarone (to 61% of control, P <.05, at 50 mV) but was more strongly reduced by hypothyroidism (to 35% of control, P <.01, 50 mV). Amiodarone significantly reduced IKr and IK1 (by 55 and 64% at 10 mV and -50 mV, respectively), which were unaffected by hypothyroidism. Amiodarone alone and hypothyroidism alone had similar action potential-prolonging actions. Hypothyroid animals treated with amiodarone showed a combination of ionic effects (strong IKs reduction, similar to hypothyroidism alone; reduced IKr and IK1, similar to amiodarone alone), along with action potential prolongation significantly greater than that caused by either intervention alone. We conclude that chronic amiodarone and hypothyroidism have different effects on ionic currents and that their combination prolongs action potential duration to a greater extent than either alone in guinea pig hearts, suggesting that the class III actions of amiodarone are not mediated by a cardiac hypothyroid state.  (+info)

Monophasic action potentials of right atrium and electrophysiological properties of AV conducting system in patients with hypothyroidism. (5/2275)

In 12 patients with manifest hypothyroidism right atrial monophasic action potentials showed a significant prolongation in comparison with data from normal or euthyroid patients. Atrial effective refractory periods were also significantly prolonged. After thyroid treatment the monophasic action potential duration and the effective refractory period of the right atrium were within normal ranges. In 6 hypothyroid patients studies of AV conduction with the aid of His bundle electrography and atrial pacing showed a supraHisian conduction delay which was manifest in one case and latent in another two. InfraHisian conduction delay was encountered in 2 cases.  (+info)

Juvenile hypothyroidism among two populations exposed to radioiodine. (6/2275)

We found an epidemic of juvenile hypothyroidism among a population of self-defined "downwinders" living near the Hanford nuclear facility located in southeast Washington State. The episode followed massive releases of 131I. Self-reported data on 60 cases of juvenile hypothyroidism (<20 years of age) among a group of 801 Hanford downwinders are presented, as well as data concerning the thyroid status of approximately 160,000 children exposed to radioiodine before 10 years of age as a result of the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl explosion in the former Soviet Union. These children were residents of five regions near Chernobyl. They were examined by standardized screening protocols over a period of 5 years from 1991 to 1996. They are a well-defined group of 10 samples. Fifty-six cases of hypothyroidism were found among boys and 92 among girls. Body burdens of 137Cs have been correlated with hypothyroidism prevalence rates. On the other hand, the group of juvenile (<20 years of age) Hanford downwinders is not a representative sample. Most of the 77 cases of juvenile hypothyroidism in the Hanford group were diagnosed from 1945 to 1970. However, the ratio of reported cases to the county population under 20 years of age is roughly correlated with officially estimated mean levels of cumulative thyroid 131I uptake in these counties, providing evidence that juvenile hypothyroidism was associated with radioiodine exposures. Because even subtle hypothyroidism may be of clinical significance in childhood and can be treated, it may be useful to screen for the condition in populations exposed to radioiodine fallout. Although radiation exposure is associated with hypothyroidism, its excess among fallout-exposed children has not been previously quantified.  (+info)

Na,K-ATPase mRNA beta 1 expression in rat myocardium--effect of thyroid status. (7/2275)

The abundance of Na,K-ATPase and its alpha and beta subunit mRNAs is upregulated in cardiac and other target tissue by thyroid hormone (T3). Multiple Na,K-ATPase mRNA beta 1 species encoding an identical beta 1 polypeptide are expressed in the heart. The different mRNA beta 1 species result from utilization of two transcription start-sites in the first exon and multiple (five) poly(A) signals in the terminal exon of the beta 1 gene. In the present study we identify the mRNA beta 1 species that are expressed in rat ventricular myocardium under basal conditions, and determine whether they are differentially regulated by T3. mRNA beta 1 species were identified by 3'-RACE followed by DNA sequencing, and by Northern blotting using probes derived from different regions of rat cDNA beta 1. Five mRNA beta 1 species are expressed in rat heart: mRNA beta 1 species that are initiated at the first transcription start-site and end at the first, second and fifth poly(A) sites (resulting in mRNAs of 1630, 1810, and 2780 nucleotides), and mRNA beta 1 species initiated at the second transcription start-site and ending at the second and fifth poly(A) sites (resulting in mRNAs of 1500 and 2490 nucleotides); in order of increasing length, the five mRNAs constitute 0.04, 0.15, 0.38, 0.11 and 0.32 of total mRNA beta 1 content. In hypothyroid rats (induced by addition of propyl-thiouracil to the drinking water for 3 weeks), total mRNA beta 1 content decreased to 0.18 euthyroid levels, which was associated with a disproportionate 7.5-fold decrease in the abundance of the longest transcript (P < 0.05); transcripts initiating at the first transcription start-site and ending at the second poly(A) signal in hypothyroid hearts were 0.26 euthyroid levels (P < 0.05). Hyperthyroidism induced by injection of normal rats with three doses of 100 micrograms T3/100 g body weight every 48 h resulted in an overall approximately 2-fold increase in mRNA beta 1 content with no change in the fractional contribution of any of the mRNA beta 1 species. The results indicate a complex heterogeneity in the expression of mRNA beta 1 in myocardium.  (+info)

Assessment of thyroid hormone assays. (8/2275)

Four techniques for estimating serum T4 and three for estimating serum T3 have been investigated and found to be satisfactory in routine use. Normal ranges for each techniques have been established. Estimation of serum T3 by the commerical kits tested appears to have a high discriminant value in the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, although the diagnostic definition used inevitably enhances the apparent sensitivity of these techniques. Estimation of serum T4 will identify the majority of patients with symptomatic hypothyroidism. The low sensitivity of T3 in the diagnosis of thyroid failure is confirmed.  (+info)

The animals developed mild hypercholesterolemia, mainly due to an increase of plasma low density lipoprotein, while other lipoprotein classes were only marginally affected. Kinetic studies using [125I]LDL indicated that a decreased fractional catabolic rate of the lipoprotein was responsible for this finding in agreement with the in vitro observation of a reduced binding of lipoproteins to liver membranes from hypothyroid rats and with the demonstration, by ligand blotting analysis, of a decreased expression of lipoprotein receptors in liver membranes. ...

Thyroid hormone replacement for subclinical hypothyroidism | CochraneThyroid hormone replacement for subclinical hypothyroidism | Cochrane
Subclinical hypothyroidism is a condition where some laboratory findings point at a thyroid gland not working properly. Patients with subclinical hypothyroidism may have vague, non-specific symptoms of actual hypothyroidism (for example dry skin, cold skin or feeling colder, constipation, slower thinking, poor memory) but these thyroid-related symptoms are not specific, that is why the diagnosis is based on test results. The fundamental question regarding people with subclinical hypothyroidism is whether they should be treated with thyroid hormones. To answer this question twelve studies of six to 14 months duration involving 350 people were analysed. Thyroid hormone therapy for subclinical hypothyroidism did not result in improved survival or decreased cardiovascular morbidity (for example less heart attacks or strokes). Data on health-related quality of life and symptoms did not demonstrate significant differences between placebo and thyroid hormone therapy. Some evidence indicated that ...

The signs of hypothyroidism are introduced on when the gland slows or wholly ceases the creation of thyroid hormones. there are various variables that might cause this to happen:. Autoimmune condition: When posing the issue what is hypothyroidism for your physician, they should want to examine carrying out tests to find out autoimmune sickness. Autoimmune disease can occasionally bring about your body to error thyroid cells for invading cells, resulting in Your systems immune method to attack. consequently, Ones body will not generate ample thyroid hormone..

Fluoride and HypothyroidismFluoride and Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is a common disorder due to inadequate thyroid hormone secretion. When a patient has signs and symptoms suggestive of hypothyroidism, how is it determined whether thyroid hormone replacement therapy will have a favourable harm-benefit balance? How should treatment be managed? To answer these questions, we conducted a review of the literature using the standard Prescrire methodology. The symptoms of hypothyroidism are due to slow metabolism (constipation, fatigue, sensitivity to cold, weight gain, etc.) and to polysaccharide accumulation in certain tissues, leading to hoarseness, eyelid swelling, etc. A blood TSH concentration of less than 4 or 5 mlU/L rules out peripheral hypothyroidism. TSH levels increase with age. Between 30% and 60% of high TSH levels are not confirmed on a second blood test. In overt hypothyroidism, the TSH level is high and the free T4 (thyroxine) level is low. Most of these patients are symptomatic. So-called subclinical hypothyroidism, which is rarely ...

Hypothyroidism In InfantsHypothyroidism In Infants
This auto immune disease is the leading cause of hypothyroidism where the thyroid fails to produce the proper amount of thyroid hormone that the body needs. Individuals who have Hashimotos thyroiditis hypothyroidism may experience symptoms similar to hypothyroidism, but in times, they may have bouts of hyperthyroidism as well where the inflamed thyroid produces too much of the thyroid hormone.. The researchers believe that hypothyroidism is a cause of low levels of DHEA. Thyroid hormones may control the production of steroid hormones from the adrenal glands. If this is right, then you should not take DHEA hoping that it will cure hypothyroidism. It will not affect the activity of the thyroid gland. However, many of the symptoms of hypothyroidism may be a result of the low DHEA levels, including depression, muscle weakness and fatigue. So taking a DHEA supplement with hypothyroidism may alleviate some of these symptoms.. The purpose of treating hypothyroidism is to maintain normal metabolism by ...

The Effectiveness of Thyroid Hormone Replacement Therapy on Carotid Ar by Marissa E. MoritzThe Effectiveness of Thyroid Hormone Replacement Therapy on Carotid Ar by Marissa E. Moritz
Background: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is defined as an elevation in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), in the absence of reductions in free thyroxine (FT4). An estimated 4.6 to 8.6 million Americans meet the criteria for SCH, but are without a significant symptom burden. Carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT) assessment with ultrasound technology is a non-invasive modality to assess atherosclerosis and cardiovascular health. Research has demonstrated increases in CIMT in subjects with overt hypothyroidism at baseline; however, following levothyroxine therapy, CIMT was reduced. The objective of this literature review is to determine if levothyroxine treatment results in CIMT reduction in adult subjects with subclinical hypothyroidism. Methods: An extensive literature search was performed using MEDLINE, CINAHL, Google Scholar and ISI Web of Science. Studies were selected for analysis based on the following inclusion/ exclusion criteria: published in the English language, human subjects, since

MyThyroid.com: Heart DiseaseMyThyroid.com: Heart Disease
In modest cases of hypothyroidism, the heart rate may be slowed, although heart function is generally normal. With more significant and prolonged deficiency of thyroid hormone, cardiac function may become abnormal. In persons who have normal heart function and no history of heart disease to begin with, these mild changes in heart function associated with hypothyroidism are usually imperceptible. Although there are very few large randomized studies examining the effect of treating mild hypothyroidism on cardiac function, there is some data that correction of even mild hypothyroidism may improve objective parameters of cardiac function, as demonstrated in Assessment of left ventricular diastolic function by radionuclide ventriculography at rest and exercise in subclinical hypothyroidism, and its response to L-thyroxine therapy.

Resolution of Hypothyroidism with Chiropractic - Kalkstein Family ChiropracticResolution of Hypothyroidism with Chiropractic - Kalkstein Family Chiropractic
In the journal The Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research are the results of a case study published on January 27, 2020, documenting the resolution of hypothyroidism in a patient undergoing chiropractic care.. On their website, the American Thyroid Association defines hypothyroidism saying, Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid gland. Hypothyroidism means that the thyroid gland cant make enough thyroid hormone to keep the body running normally. People are hypothyroid if they have too little thyroid hormone in the blood.. The study authors report that the prevalence of hypothyroidism in the general population ranges from 3.8%-4.6%. However, subclinical hypothyroidism, which is less severe, becomes more common in the elderly population and can be as prevalent as 20% in women over the age of 60 years.. The symptoms of hypothyroidism can sometimes be confused with normal aging but include tiredness, weight gain, dry skin, cold intolerance, constipation, muscle weakness, puffiness around the ...

Hypothyroidism was induced in Marwari adult sheep (9 rams) by thiourea feeding (@ 50 mg/kg body weight). The blood samples were collected and analysed on 0 (control), 3rd, 5th and 7th day of thiourea feeding. The investigation was carried out to study the effects of induced hypothyroidism on plasma cholesterol and billirubin in Marwari sheep. Plasma cholesterol showed a non-significant (P > 0.05) effect of induced hypothyroidism however, it increased gradually with the subsequent phases of induced hypothyroidism. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated a significant (P?0.01) increase in plasma bilirubin concentration during different phases of induced hypothyroidism in our study. Thus, Hypercholesterolemia and Hyperbilirubinemia are the salient clinical and biochemical features of induced hypothyroidism.. Key words: Hypothyroidism, Sheep, Cholesterol, Plasma ...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship between thyroid variables and health-related quality of life (QoL) in patients with autoimmune hypothyroidism, using the thyroid-specific QoL questionnaire ThyPRO. METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, responses to the ThyPRO from 199 outpatients with autoimmune hypothyroidism were analyzed in relation to thyroid volume, thyroid function and markers of thyroid autoimmunity. Based on a classical QoL framework, we hypothesized that physiological dysfunction caused specific physical and psychological symptoms, which affected functioning and well-being, and consequently participation in life and QoL. These hypotheses were tested through multiple regression and multivariate path analysis models. RESULTS: None of the thyroid function tests were associated with QoL scores. However, in the pairwise regression, the thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) level was associated with several QoL outcomes: Goitre Symptoms (p = 0.024), Depressivity (p = 0.004), Anxiety (p = ...

Coagulation disorders in hypothyroidism: effects of thyroid hormones deficiency and/or of TSH?Coagulation disorders in hypothyroidism: effects of thyroid hormones deficiency and/or of TSH?
Various haemostatic abnormalities have been associated with thyroid dysfunction, especially with hypothyroidism. The underlying mechanisms are not well established.. The aim of the study was to evaluate the primary and secondary haemostasis in patients with severe hypothyroidism, to assess the role of thyroid hormone deficiency and to determine whether increased serum TSH level despite normal free thyroid hormone concentrations could influence the coagulation system.. Platelet count, fibrinogen, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), INR, thrombin time, factor VIII activity, factor von Willebrand were measured in 52 patients (age 45±14 years, 40 women and 12 men) with previous total thyroidectomy for differentiated thyroid cancer. Factor von Willebrand and factor VIII activity were significantly decreased while APTT was significantly increased in hypothyroidism (after withdrawing of thyroid hormones) compared to euthyroidism in 22 patients: TSH (μU/ml): 94.3±36.0 vs ...

Hypothyroidism | Providence OregonHypothyroidism | Providence Oregon
You have hypothyroidism. This means your thyroid gland is not making enough thyroid hormone. This hormone is vital to body growth and metabolism. If you dont make enough, many body processes slow down. This can cause symptoms throughout the body. Hypothyroidism can range from mild to severe. The most severe form is called myxedema.. There are a number of causes of hypothyroidism. A common cause is Hashimotos disease. This disease causes the bodys own immune system to attack the thyroid gland. When you have certain treatments, such as surgery to remove the thyroid gland, this can also cause hypothyroidism.. Symptoms of hypothyroidism can include:. ...

Identification of Primary Congenital Hypothyroidism Based on Two Newborn Screens - Utah, 2010-2016Identification of Primary Congenital Hypothyroidism Based on Two Newborn Screens - Utah, 2010-2016
Newborn screening for primary congenital hypothyroidism is part of the U.S. Recommended Uniform Screening Panel (1,2). Untreated congenital hypothyroidism can result in cognitive impairment and growth complications (decreased height/length). Initial newborn screening for congenital hypothyroidism is typically performed 24-48 hours after birth. Fourteen states, including Utah, perform a routine second screen at approximately 2 weeks of age.* During 2010-2016, a total of 359,432 infants in Utah were screened for congenital hypothyroidism, and 130 cases were diagnosed; among these, 98 had an abnormal first screen, and 25 had an abnormal second screen (seven infants were excluded because of missing data). A retrospective examination of Utahs screening data indicated that 20% of congenital hypothyroidism cases could not have been efficiently identified by a single screen alone. This study highlights the utility of a two-screen process and demonstrates that differential cutoff values for the first ...

Influence of Primary Hypothyroidism on Serum Leptin LevelInfluence of Primary Hypothyroidism on Serum Leptin Level
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Leptin is the protein product of the ob gene, secreted by adipocytes. It has been suggested that it may plays an important role in regulating appetite and energy expenditure, but beside that, little is known about the physiological actions of leptin in humans. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a possible influence of primary hypothyroidism on serum leptin levels. METHODS: Fifty-six newly diagnosed patients with primary hypothyroidism (40 females and 16 males) and 32 normal controls matched for age, ethnic status and body mass index (BMI) were studied. Body mass index (BMI; kg/m2), thyroid function(using enzyme-linked immunoflourescent assay) and serum levels of leptin, thyroid autoantibodies (measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay) and lipid profile(measured by enzymatic colourimeteric assays) were assessed in all studied subjects. RESULTS: No significant difference in serum leptin levels was recorded between hypothyroid patients and controls (16.3±14.9; 14.8 ± 12.9, P| 0.05), but

Congenital Hypothyroidism usually results when a baby is born without a thyroid gland, but there are many other causes of this disorder. Congenital Hypothyroidism is treated the same as hypothyroidism, with thyroid replacement hormone, Levothyroxine. It is crucial for these babies to be diagnosed within a few days of birth by a newborn screening (heel prick) test as any delay can lead to loss of IQ. As babies grow, monitoring is necessary to adjust Levothyroxine dosage and to monitor growth and development. Ensuring Pathology tests are performed in the correct manner at essential..

Hypothyroidism following radiation therapy (RT) for treatment of Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) is a common occurrence. Rates of hypothyroidism following RT for Early Stage Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ES-LSCC) are among the highest. Although routine screening for hypothyroidism is recommended; its optimal schedule has not yet been established. We aim to determine the prevalence and optimal timing of testing for hypothyroidism in ES-LSCC treated with RT. We conducted a population-based cohort study. Data was extracted from a prospective provincial head and neck cancer database. Demographic, survival data, and pre- and post-treatment thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were obtained for patients diagnosed with ES-LSCC from 2008-2012. Inclusion criteria consisted of patients diagnosed clinically with ES-LSCC (T1 or 2, N0, M0) treated with curative intent. Patients were excluded if there was a history of hypothyroidism before the treatment or any previous history of head and neck cancers. Ninety

How Low Hypothyroidism Affects Ovulation - Do thyroid problems make it harder to get pregnant? | HowStuffWorksHow Low Hypothyroidism Affects Ovulation - Do thyroid problems make it harder to get pregnant? | HowStuffWorks
The most common cause of low thyroid production is a condition called Hashimotos disease, similar to Graves disease in that its an autoimmune disorder. With Hashimotos disease, the bodys immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid itself, damaging the glands cells and reducing the amount of hormone it can produce [source: NEMDIS].. With cases of hypothyroidism that are less severe, ovulation can occur normally, much like with hyperthyroidism. However, the condition has to be closely monitored and possibly treated if a woman becomes pregnant.. In addition, there is one type of hypothyroidism that is extremely dangerous both to women trying to get pregnant and those already carrying a child. Though rare, a condition known as myxedema coma can occur in women with hypothyroidism.. Myxedema coma is a potentially lethal condition where thyroid hormone levels drop an extreme amount. It is often accompanied by a drop in body temperature, low blood pressure, low blood sugar levels, a decrease in ...

The purpose of this study was to estimate the incidence of cases with transient and permanent CH in Hamadan, Iran. In our study, the incidence of CH is found to be 1/1250 of live birth. Of the 164 patients 105 cases (64 %) were proven to have permanent CH and 59 cases (36%) had transient hypothyroidism. The frequency of CH as well as transient hypothyroidism was relatively high in our study. Our data confirm the findings of previous studies regarding the high prevalence of hypothyroidism in Iran (15-18). For example, a meta-analysis study by Veisani et al. (18) revealed that the overall incidence of CH in Iran is 2/1000 of live births. Since the most common etiology of CH was dyshormonogenesis as indicated in the studies conducted by Hashemipour et al. (9) and Karamizadeh et al. (19) in Iran, a relatively high rate of parental consanguinity (25%) among infant with congenital hypothyroidism could account for the increased incidence of CH in our region. In support of the previous data, we also ...

Anaesthetic management of the premature infant is a challenge. This is owing to the immaturity of his or her organ systems and the possible presence of sequelae of premature birth, such as broncho pulmonary dysplasia, apnoea, patent ductus arteriosus and intra ventricular haemorrhage. The premature infant is at risk of developing postoperative apnoea, hypothermia and hypoglycaemia until his or her post gestational age is more than 60 weeks. Conditions such as congenital bilateral cataract and congenital hypothyroidism may be associated with other birth defects and syndromes. Recommendations for early cataract surgery may necessitate an aesthetising premature infants with post conceptional ages less than 60 weeks, or those who have had recently diagnosed medical conditions, such as hypothyroidism. We describe the anaesthetic considerations in a, so far, unreported scenario of a premature infant with bilateral congenital cataract and congenital hypothyroidism who presented for cataract surgery.

Subjects who are heterozygous for thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) gene mutations present various phenotypes that range from euthyroid to hyperthyrotropinemia. Similarly, heterozygous dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2) gene mutations result in variable phenotypes, such as transient congenital hypothyroidism, subclinical hyperthyrotropinemia, and euthyroid in children. Here, we describe an 8-year-old boy who had normal newborn screening results, but who developed nonautoimmune hypothyroidism at the age of 1 year and 8 months of age. He was heterozygous for previously reported R450H-TSHR mutation and heterozygous for a novel double mutant allele A1323T-DUOX2 and L1343F-DUOX2. He needed levothyroxine (l-T4) replacement therapy to keep serum TSH levels within normal limits; l-T4 dose of 2.01-2.65 μg/kg/day corresponded to the dose taken by children homozygous for R450H-TSHR and by children with permanent congenital hypothyroidism. Therefore, the coexistence of a heterozygous TSHR mutation and a ...

Vitamin D deficiency in non-autoimmune hypothyroidism: a case-control study | BMC Endocrine Disorders | Full TextVitamin D deficiency in non-autoimmune hypothyroidism: a case-control study | BMC Endocrine Disorders | Full Text
Although in many studies, the relationship between autoimmune hypothyroidism (Hashimoto) and Vitamin D deficiency was shown, no research has been performed on the role of vitamin D in non-autoimmune hypothyroidism. This was a case-control study in Endocrinology clinic of Jahrom (south of Iran). The patients with Hashimoto (n = 633) and non-Hashimoto hypothyroidism (n = 305), along with a control group (n = 200) were evaluated. 25(OH) D level, T3 and T4 levels were studied and Anti TPO and Anti TG tests were performed. The results of vitamin D level were analyzed and interpreted using SPSS in terms of the cause of hypothyroidism (immune and non-immune). The results of the study showed a significantly lower level of vitamin D in both immune and non-immune Hashimotos thyroiditis (HT) in comparison to healthy controls (P | 0.05). We observed a significant inverse correlation between the vitamin D and TGAb level (p = 0.001, r = − 0.261) and a direct correlation of vitamin D with TSH level (p = 0.008, r =

Permanent and Transient Congenital Hypothyroidism in Fayoum, Egypt: A Descriptive Retrospective StudyPermanent and Transient Congenital Hypothyroidism in Fayoum, Egypt: A Descriptive Retrospective Study
BackgroundCongenital hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the most common preventable causes of mental retardation. One important challenge in understanding the epidemiology of CH is that some newborns will have transient CH, a temporary depression of thyroid hormone concentrations that can last from several days to several months. Studies from other countries have reported that 10 to 15% of children treated for CH ultimately prove not to need treatment past 3 years of age to maintain normal hormone concentrations, and thus have transient hypothyroidism. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of permanent and transient congenital hypothyroidism in Fayoum, Egypt. MethodsCases detected by Fayoum neonatal screening program (NSP) between January 2003 and December 2011, and followed up at health insurance center were included. Permanent or transient CH was determined using results of thyroid function tests. ResultsOf the 248 patients diagnosed primarily with CH by NSP; 204 (82.3%) patients

Present article shows that erectile dysfunction was 2.3 times more common in untreated hyper- and hypothyroid patients than in control subjects; severe ED was 3.5 times more common than in controls. The relatively high prevalence of ED in controls is in agreement with data from literature. The conclusions of this article seem valid, since ED was assessed using a well-validated instrument (the SHIM score), and confounding factors (such as the effect of age, other diseases and current medication) were all controlled for.. In a previous study (see Carani et al., JCEM 90:6472, 2005), erectile dysfunction was observed in 14.7% of 34 hyperthyroid males and 64.3% of hypothyroid males. In that study, ED was also assessed by questionnaire and improved after normalization of thyroid function. The reasons for the much lower prevalence of ED in hyperthyroid patients contrasting with a similar prevalence in hypothyroid patients, compared with the results of present article, remain unclear. In the Carani ...

Secondary hypertension has been associated with hypothyroidism. High blood pressure values and the prevalence of hypertension have been demonstrated in hypothyroid patients. Low cardiac output, increased peripheral and vascular resistance, arterial stiffness, high levels of norepinephrine in serum have been considered the mechanisms involved in developing diastolic hypertension in a state of hypothyroidism. To evaluate the association between hypertension and hypothyroidism, analysis of thyroid hormones levels and blood pressure values were determined in 450 chronic thyroiditis female patients of Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan. On the basis of TFT, T4 (thyroxine) and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) level in blood 298 females were categorized as euthyroid while 152 were hypothyroid [T4 (thyroxine) = 3.01 ± 0.2 µg/dl and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) = 108.5 + 5.4/µU/ml]. In hypothyroid females with age more than 50 years, not systolic but diastolic blood pressure was recorded to be higher as ...

Hypothyroidism and CFS & Fibromyalgia Link | Chronic Fatigue SyndromeHypothyroidism and CFS & Fibromyalgia Link | Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
In a newsletter I received from the Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers, they state that there is mounting evidence that hypothyroidism is present in the majority of, and possibly all, Fibromylagia & CFS patients. The problem is that standard blood testing that consists of TSH, T4 and T3 does not detect it and patients are told repeatedly that their thyroid levels are fine. I know from personal experience that this is true! I was suffering with severe symptoms of hypothyroidism and the doctors and specialists I saw in my area kept telling me my thyroid was okay. It wasnt until I went to the F & F Centers (www.fibroandfatigue.com) that my suspicions were confirmed. TSH is secreted by the pituitary in the brain, which tells the thyroid to secrete T4. T4 is not the active thyroid hormone. T4 has to then be converted in the body to T3, which is the active thyroid hormone. When T4 and T3 levels drop, the TSH should increase indicating hypothyroidism. This is the standard way to diagnose hypothyroidism. ...

Folic Acid Alleviates Oxidative Stress and Hyperhomocysteinemia Involved in Liver Dysfunction of Hypothyroid RatsFolic Acid Alleviates Oxidative Stress and Hyperhomocysteinemia Involved in Liver Dysfunction of Hypothyroid Rats
Thyroid hormones are essential for growth and development of the liver. This study evaluated some biochemical alterations in post-pubertal hypothyroidism and its impact on liver functions. Additionally, the ameliorating role of folic acid supplementation was investigated. Fifty male albino rats were randomly divided into five groups (group I, control; group II, folic acid; group III, 0.05% propylthiouracil-induced hypothyroid rats; group IV, Co-treatment; group V post-treatment). There was a significant decrease in plasma T3, body weight, fluid and food intakes, folic acid, ALT, total thiol and tFRAP in hypothyroid rats as compared to control group. On the other hand, a significant increase in TSH, relative liver weight, plasma of total homocysteine, serum total protein, AST, total serum bilirubin, cholesterol and tMDA in hypothyroid rats as compared to control group. This reflects hyperhomocysteinemia and oxidative stress associated with hypothyroid state. Folic acid supplemented

How often should we screen children with Downs syndrome for hypothyroidism? | Archives of Disease in ChildhoodHow often should we screen children with Downs syndrome for hypothyroidism? | Archives of Disease in Childhood
The higher prevalence of acquired hypothyroidism, mostly from autoimmune thyroid diseases, in individuals with Downs syndrome is better established. For instance, one of 67 patients younger than 22 years receiving thyroxine in a health region of Scotland had Downs syndrome, clearly higher than expected;9 however, the type (congenital or acquired) and the severity of hypothyroidism was not known in all these patients. The study by Gibson et al in this issue addresses the question of the frequency of screening that is necessary to detect hypothyroidism at a preclinical stage in young patients with Downs syndrome.10 The authors measured TSH and T4 levels and the thyroid antimicrosomal antibody titre in 122 children with Downs syndrome at a median age of 9.8 years (range 6-14). One hundred and three subjects were sampled again at a median age of 14.4 years (range 10-20). At first sampling, the commonest abnormality was isolated hyperthyrotropinaemia, which was observed in 20 patients; however, ...

Diagnostic Testing for Canine Hypothyroidism - WSAVA 2003 Congress - VINDiagnostic Testing for Canine Hypothyroidism - WSAVA 2003 Congress - VIN
Recommendations regarding the approach to the diagnosis of hypothyroidism are given in Table 1. The presence of appropriate clinical signs is imperative, especially when relying on baseline thyroid hormone concentrations for a diagnosis. Identification of a mild nonregenerative anemia on the CBC and especially an increased serum cholesterol concentration on a serum biochemistry panel adds further evidence for hypothyroidism. Baseline serum total thyroxine (T4) concentration is often used as the initial screening test for thyroid gland function, in part, because it is widely available at low cost and can be measured in-house. It is important to remember that serum T4 concentrations can be suppressed by a variety of factors, most notably the euthyroid sick syndrome. As such, measurement of the serum T4 concentration should be used to confirm a euthyroid state. A normal serum T4 concentration establishes euthyroidism in the vast majority of dogs. The exception is a very small number of hypothyroid ...

UNTHSC Scholarly Repository - Research Appreciation Day: Congenital HypothyroidismUNTHSC Scholarly Repository - Research Appreciation Day: Congenital Hypothyroidism
Introduction Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is common, affecting between 1:3,000 and 4,000 newborn infants. Unrecognized or inadequately treated, CH leads to mental retardation. Newborn screening has made it possible to identify affected infants at a very early age, allowing thyroid therapy to be initiated usually within two weeks of birth. As a result of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, many children with CH have normal cognitive development. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) have published guidelines to assist physicians in the appropriate evaluation and treatment of children with CH. Although early detection, correct diagnosis and timely treatment are critical to facilitate the best outcomes, little is known about provider practices when confronted with infants with congenital hypothyroidism. We, therefore, conducted a survey of pediatric endocrine providers to categorize beliefs and clinical practices. Methods An on-line

Congenital Hypothyroidism and Blood Draws and Courage<...Congenital Hypothyroidism and Blood Draws and Courage<...
With regard to blood draws, I have been quoted as saying it gets easier…. Its true. It gets easier. That doesnt mean they arent still hard.. Yesterday, both of my boys needed to go in for their routine blood draw to check their thyroid levels, as do all children with congenital hypothyroidism. Now that they are older, they only go every 6 months (unless there is an issue, then more frequently). Just enough time to forget they have to ever go again. I picked up my oldest from school. My youngest was already in the car. With my youngest, the less time he has to ponder the thought of having his blood drawn, the better. At the last draw, they both did well. No tears. This is a victory. For any other parent who has a child with a chronic illness (like congenital hypothyroidism), you know what I mean. You too have endured kicking, screaming, biting, fighting and everything else your child has thrown at you and the other people in the lab. You too have watched your child meltdown at the mere ...

Hypothyroidism Versus Hyperthyroidism | Fox NewsHypothyroidism Versus Hyperthyroidism | Fox News
There are a number of possible thyroid diseases and disorders, including thyroiditis and thyroid cancer. Two of the most common thyroid disorders are hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism affects approximately 1 percent of the U.S. population, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Hypothyroidism is more common and can be found in about 5 percent of Americans. While the two conditions are closely linked, they have several important differences that affect diagnosis and treatment. Here is a guide to distinguishing between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

Hypothyroidism - Causes, Symptoms & Treatment For Decreased Thyroid Gland Activity | Giannotto ClinicHypothyroidism - Causes, Symptoms & Treatment For Decreased Thyroid Gland Activity | Giannotto Clinic
Hypothyroidism, or decreased thyroid gland activity is now more common than ever. In 1990 Dr Hertoghe estimated a prevalence of 80%. This includes a sub clinical type which is difficult to diagnose. Hypothyroidism finds its causes on many levels from the pituitary gland failure and hypothalamic loss of control in the brain to thyroid failure itself, failure of conversion of T4 to T3 ( thyroid hormones), thyroid resistance and even adrenal gland failure.. Most common symptoms are cold intolerance with cold hands and feet, fatigue, dry skin, constipation, difficulty losing weight,depression, memory loss, anxiety and insomnia, thinning hair and hoarseness. The diagnosis is made by measuring levels of TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone, clinical symptoms and actual levels of the two major thyroid hormones, T3 and T4.. Hypothyroidism is a result of the interaction of genetic factors with environmental factors such as lack of iodine and selenium, drugs, infections, stress and pollution; and with ...

Vegan Diet May Help Protect Against Hypothyroidism | EmaxHealthVegan Diet May Help Protect Against Hypothyroidism | EmaxHealth
It has been previously thought that vegans have a greater risk of developing hypothyroidism due to a low intake of the mineral iodine. However, a new study from researchers at Loma Linda University suggests that a plant-based diet may actually be protective.. Hypothyroidism is a state in which thyroid hormone production is below normal. This very common condition, affecting about 3 to 5% of the adult population, is characterized by symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain or difficulty losing weight, constipation, depression, thinning or brittleness of the hair or nails, cold intolerance, memory loss and muscle aches and pains.. Thyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid gland which is located in the lower part of the neck, below the Adams apple. The thyroid gland uses iodine to produce hormones such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).. Because iodine is a necessary mineral for thyroid hormone production, being deficient can lead to hypothyroidism. Vegetarians and vegans consume less ...

When the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone it is called hypothyroidism. Congenital hypothyroidism is when the disorder is present in a baby at birth. If not treated, it can lead to serious health problems. The thyroid is a gland. Its located in the neck, just below the voice box. The thyroid gland makes thyroid hormone. This hormone helps control the metabolism. This is the rate at which every part of the body functions. Thyroid hormone keeps the metabolism at a healthy pace. This helps the brain, heart, muscles, and other organs work well. A normal metabolism also helps ensure a healthy temperature, heart rate, energy level, and growth rate. If a baby does not make enough thyroid hormone, it can cause serious problems such as mental disability, growth delays, or loss of hearing. ...

supplements for hypothyroidismsupplements for hypothyroidism
One downside to using iron supplements is that they often cause constipation and/or abdominal pain. And this doesnt bode well for your thyroid, given how many thyroid processes Zinc is involved in. If you suffer from chronic constipation, however, you may want to consider using magnesium citrate. The T3 receptor requires zinc to function properly so a deficiency may result in subclinical hypothyroidism even though your lab tests look normal. Low levels of vitamin D are associated with hypothyroidism according to new research. If you take your thyroid medication at night then take your iron in the morning or vice versa. Unlike potassium iodide, chelated iodine is slower to absorb. Several foods are good sources of molybdenum as well. Welcome to my website! These studies also show that both magnesium and zinc appear to be lower in hypothyroid patients due to increased clearance of both nutrients in the kidneys (18). For starters, about 20% of T4 to T3 conversion occurs in the gut (26). Foods such ...

A common medication used for the treatment of diabetes called metformin may have effects on the thyroid. Some studies suggest that the TSH level is lower in patients with diabetes on metformin. This may be important in patients with previously diagnosed hypothyroidism on thyroid hormone. The current study was done to look at the effect of two different diabetes medications, metformin or a sulfonylurea drug, on the TSH of a large number of people some of whom take levothyroxine to treat hypothyroidism.

Sepia Officinalis: Sepia Officinalis is also a significant homeopathic medicine for treating the hypothyroid patients. The patients requiring this medicine are very weak, have a pale yellow face and faint very easily especially on exposure to excessive cold temperature. Such patients lack vital heat of body and feel excessively chilly even in a warm room. This medicine can help in treating the menstrual complaints in patients with hypothyroidism where the menses appear too early and are copious in nature. The menstrual complaints are always accompanied by bearing down sensations in pelvis where the patient feels as if the pelvic organs will come out through the vulva and always sit with cross legs to prevent the escape. Sepia Officinalis is also prescribed for controlling the excessive hair fall due to hypothyroidism, especially in women of menopausal age. The next sphere in which this medicine proves very efficacious is the treatment of constipation in hypothyroid patients. The patients ...

Hypothyroidism after radiotherapy for patients with head and neck cancer. - Oral Cancer NewsHypothyroidism after radiotherapy for patients with head and neck cancer. - Oral Cancer News
We report on 2 cases of hypothyroidism presenting clinical symptoms that occurred after radiotherapy for cancer of the head and neck and on the results of estimating thyroid function in patients with head and neck cancer who received radiotherapy.. The first patient underwent total laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer without sacrificing the thyroid gland and partial gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Radiotherapy of the neck was carried out postoperatively.. Two years later, the patient developed chest pain; pericardial effusion was detected, leading to a diagnosis of myxedema caused by hypothyroidism. The second patient received radiotherapy alone for laryngeal cancer. Two months later, low serum sodium concentration and anemia were detected in this patient.. The cause of these changes was subsequently found to be hypothyroidism. Based on our experience with these 2 cases, we measured thyroid function in 35 patients who had undergone neck radiation for head and neck cancer at our hospital over the ...

Hi, Im Dr. Michael Doyle. Id like to talk to you for a minute about two of the most important substances in the human body - thyroid hormone and cortisol. These two hormones are the foundation of human metabolism and are as important to your health as gasoline and oil are to your car.. Thyroid hormone actually refers to four hormones made by the thyroid gland. I think of thyroid hormones as hormones as the dimmer switch on human metabolism. They literally go into every single cell in your body, including adrenal glands, to boost metabolism. The most common problem with the thyroid is low thyroid function, also called hypothyroidism. The symptoms of hypothyroidism are widespread and extremely varied. They range from fatigue, low temperature, depression, weight gain, and hair loss to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, early heart disease and much more.. Your adrenal glands also make a variety of hormones. The most important of these is called cortisol. Contrary to popular opinion, this ...

SymptomSymptom
A symptom (from Greek σύμπτωμα, "accident, misfortune, that which befalls",[1] from συμπίπτω, "I befall", from συν- "together, with" and πίπτω, "I fall") is a departure from normal function or feeling which is apparent to a patient, reflecting the presence of an unusual state, or of a disease. A symptom can be subjective or objective. Tiredness is a subjective symptom whereas cough or fever are objective symptoms.[2] In contrast to a symptom, a sign is a clue to a disease elicited by an examiner or a doctor.[3] For example, paresthesia is a symptom (only the person experiencing it can directly observe their own tingling feeling), whereas erythema is a sign (anyone can confirm that the skin is redder than usual). Symptoms and signs are often nonspecific, but often combinations of them are at least suggestive of certain diagnoses, helping to narrow down what may be wrong. In other cases they are specific even to the point of being pathognomonic. The term is sometimes also ...

Medical signMedical sign
Signs are different from symptoms, the subjective experiences, such as fatigue, that patients might report to their examining physician. For convenience, signs are commonly distinguished from symptoms as follows: Both are something abnormal, relevant to a potential medical condition, but a symptom is experienced and reported by the patient, while a sign is discovered by the physician during examination or by a clinical scientist by means of an in vivo examination of the patient.[3]:75 A slightly different definition views signs as any indication of a medical condition that can be objectively observed (i.e., by someone other than the patient), whereas a symptom is merely any manifestation of a condition that is apparent to the patient (i.e., something consciously affecting the patient). From this definition, it can be said that an asymptomatic patient is uninhibited by disease. However, a doctor may discover the sign hypertension in an asymptomatic patient, who does not experience "dis-ease", and ...

Weight lossWeight loss
Intentional weight loss is the loss of total body mass as a result of efforts to improve fitness and health, or to change appearance through slimming. Weight loss in individuals who are overweight or obese can reduce health risks,[1] increase fitness,[2] and may delay the onset of diabetes.[1] It could reduce pain and increase movement in people with osteoarthritis of the knee.[2] Weight loss can lead to a reduction in hypertension (high blood pressure), however whether this reduces hypertension-related harm is unclear.[1][not in citation given]. Weight loss occurs when the body is expending more energy in work and metabolism than it is absorbing from food or other nutrients. It will then use stored reserves from fat or muscle, gradually leading to weight loss. For athletes seeking to improve performance or to meet required weight classification for participation in a sport, it is not uncommon to seek additional weight loss even if they are already at their ideal body weight. Others may be ...

PolyphagiaPolyphagia
... or hyperphagia is an abnormally strong sensation of hunger or desire to eat often leading to or accompanied by overeating.[1] In contrast to an increase in appetite following exercise, polyphagia does not subside after eating and often leads to rapid intake of excessive quantities of food. Polyphagia is not a disorder by itself, rather it is a symptom indicating an underlying medical condition. It is frequently a result of abnormal blood glucose levels (both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia), and, along with polydipsia and polyuria, it is one of the "3 Ps" commonly associated with diabetes mellitus.[2][3] ...
