Understanding the Pathophysiology, Laboratory, Diagnostic testing and Nursing Interventions for Graves’ Disease According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) (2012), “Graves’ disease, also known as toxic goiter, is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in the United States”. 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…

Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease. According to an article in the American Journal of Hypertension (2010), people diagnosed with hypertension should restrict their salt intake (p. 1095). However, according to Web MD we need iodine, found in table salt, for the health of our thyroid (2005-2015). As you can see, choosing the right diet can be confusing. We can also assume that diet does play a part in many of our illnesses and our overall wellbeing. So, what’s the big…

Determining Percent Composition of Unknown Copper Ore Sample Iodine-thiosulfate Method: An Analytical Method The objective of this experiment is to eliminate all interfering species from a sample of unknown copper ore in order to later determine pure copper content. Copper ore can be found in a mineral that contains pure copper and other species that is mined and can later have copper extracted from them (Taher, 1999). To eliminate all interfering species, such as Iron, Arsenic, and…

Ever feel tired and have trouble concentrating? Or lose a lot of weight, without even trying? Are these signs of aging or could it be something more serious? Many men and women suffer from a systemic disease and some may not even realize it. Hyperthyroidism disease can be overlooked and should not be taken lightly. The thyroid is a gland at the base of the neck, kind of shaped like a butterfly. This gland can alter a persons life in many ways, therefore it is important to understand what…

front part of the neck. In most people, the thyroid cannot be seen or felt. It is butterfly shaped, with 2 lobes — the right lobe and the left lobe — joined by a narrow isthmus. The thyroid gland has 2 main types of cells: Follicular cells which use iodine from the blood to make thyroid hormones, which help regulate a person’s metabolism…

“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless--like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; you put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; you put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash.Be water, my friend.”-Bruce Lee. Water can obtain many ways, but the most dominated ways are tap, water that is usually received from a person's home that originates from a water plant or well on the personal property. Or bottled water, water that is purchased from a…

(some women develop the disease during or after pregnancy), iodine deficiency. You might be wondering what are the risk factors for this disease. Anyone can develop the disease but you have a greater risk factor if you are a woman older than the age of 60, have any autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or a chronic inflammatory condition, have a family history of thyroid disease, have been treated with radioactive iodine or anti-thyroid medication, received radiation to your neck…

the experiment, iodine was a zero order reactant. If a reactant is zero order then there is no relationship between concentration and rate. A low concentration of iodine was used due to its high levels of toxicity. While iodine is necessary for humans in small doses, large amounts of iodine are harmful when taken orally as well as when in contact with the skin. About 1 mg of pure iodine is the maximum amount of iodine that is beneficial towards humans. High concentrations of iodine can cause…

Betadine and Iodine deal Way to Differentiate The distinction amongst Betadine and Iodine, fundamentally, originates from their synthetic nature. Iodine is an uncommon component that typically exists as a diatomic atom. Betadine is an intricate substance compound containing iodine in an unpredictable frame. Both iodine and betadine have various business uses and one of a kind applications; essentially betadine is utilized as a sterile arrangement and immaculate iodine is a substance component in…
