Hyperthyroidism is a disorder that occurs when the thyroid gland makes more thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) than the body needs. The thyroid gland helps control how the body…

and any gender differences in Graves’ disease to see if Ellie’s diagnosis is unusual. Graves’ disease is roughly 7 times more common in females than in males, and, according to the NHS, occur mainly in those aged 30-50.

Introduction Graves' disease, or toxic diffuse goiter, is an autoimmune disease where too much activity of the thyroid gland causes an overproduction of thyroid hormones such as T3 and T4. The disease is known for resulting in hyperthyroidism (an over active thyroid) which causes an enlarged thyroid and eye problems among other things. A large amount of different conditions and effectors can cause hyperthyroidism, but Graves' disease has shown to be one of the two most common. The disease can…

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, abbreviated HT for short, is also known as Chronic Lymphatic Thyroiditis. It is an autoimmune disorder, which means it occurs when immune cells attack healthy tissue instead of protecting it. There are also antibodies produced that are directed against the thyroid gland and lead to chronic inflammation. It is not yet known why some people produce these antibodies, although this condition is linked to families. When your thyroid comes under attack from malfunctioning…

According to Joseph et al. (2000), perchlorate has been lately identified as a persistent and pervasive contaminant of drinking water substances in some of metropolitan regions. Perchlorate is stable beneath normal atmospheric conditions and particularly soluble in water. When a perchlorate compound is released into the environment, it will dissolve in water, and because of its capability to adsorb directly to surfaces, it will be transported thru bulk movement of water and mixing processes…

Iodine is essential on the new plant and this is why. Iodine is a key component of the hormones made in the thyroid gland. These hormones are absolutely critical to human health, helping to control energy production and utilization in nearly every cell of the body.
