Hyperthyroidism

There are ten main regulatory functions of the endocrine system. These ten functions consist of metabolism, food ingestion and digestion regulation, growth of tissue, maintains a pH balance within the body, stability of water within the body, adjusts heart rate and blood pressure, maintains blood glucose levels and other nutrients, oversees the functions of the reproductive system, controls contractions of the uterus during childbirth and stimulates breast milk, and aids in the effective of the…

Heart Failure is a condition that develops over time and can be caused by many different heart problems. Heart failure is most often a chronic condition. There is several classifications under this condition for example in systolic failure the heart cannot contract adequately to eject sufficient blood volume. In diastolic heart failure there is impaired ventricular relaxation and impaired filling creating the inability of the heart to fill with blood or to pump enough blood to the body to meet…

children and adolescents. A fairly standard definition of obesity is that it is a metabolic disorder resulting in increased production and discharge of body fat due to greater energy consumption and expenditure. Most of obesity is not due to hyperthyroidism, but most obesity is due to a disruption in energy and weight regulation although obesity is regarded as a disorder of excess adipose tissue, people who are obese also have excess lean tissue as well. The obese person has greater bone and…

and urination); the neurologic system (seizures, disorientation); and the cardiovascular system (difficulty in breathing). Hyertension can also indicate the presence of a potentially deadly underlying systemic diseases such as renal failure, hyperthyroidism, diabetes. Fortunately, with timely and appropriate veterinary monitoring and treatment, feline hypertension—whatever its cause—is almost always manageable.…

People who are susceptible to blockages in the urinary tract and difficulty passing urine, for example men with an enlarged prostate gland. People with constipation or who are susceptible to blockages in the intestines. People with a high temperature…

A metabolic bone disorder. Occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. Osteoporosis means “porous bone.” When viewed under a microscope, healthy bone looks like a honeycomb. When osteoporosis occurs the holes and spaces in the “honeycomb” are much larger than in healthy bone. The bones have lost density or mass and contain abnormal tissue structure. As bones become less dense, they weaken and are more likely to break. This occurs from a lack of calcium and phosphate…

States in the 1920s, iodine defi- ciency is practically unheard of in this country. In some cases, hypothyroidism may be linked to other medical conditions or caused by a medication. For instance, people who have been treated with RAI to treat hyperthyroidism often develop hypothyroidism. Those who take medications such as lithium, prednisone, and amiodarone are also vulnerable to hypothy- roidism. In addition, anyone who has undergone thyroid surgery, also called thy- roidectomy, or…

use it in these, PET machines, dialysis, radionuclides and a lot of other important things. PET machines are used to produce detailed images of the human body and help find diagnostic. Radionuclides are made to treat illnesses such as cancer or hyperthyroidism. So without theses machines that require radiation we wouldn’t be able to find out diagnostics or illness. Especially the ones we can't see outside of our bodies without the use of X-rays. Radiation is also used when you go for a…
