Many women drink over 20 diet sodas per week.”(diseaseproof) The question is, are diet sodas destroying people’s bone structures? Diet soda contains many…

glands which produce hormones, regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, mood, in addition to a plethora of other things (Zimmermann, 2016). The glands included in this system are the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries in females, and testicles in males (Zimmermann, 2016). These glands are ductless and release their products into the blood or lymph. These products are hormones which come…

flush. The skin starts to become red and warm and this occurs around the neck and arms but may extend to other areas. After 5-7 minutes of taking Niacin there is a weird sensation across the body. How to use: As fatty acids and HGH (human growth hormone) interferes the normal spread of Niacin, intake on an empty stomach would be ideal as fatty acids won’t be in excess. Last words: The ideal results can be achieved by training hard 4-5 hours after the intake and experience the new levels of…

Why performance enhancing drugs should not be banned in sports. Performance enhancing drugs, such as anabolic steroids, blood doping and hGH(human Growth Hormone) have been found to be used in sports since as early as 776BCLee, (Yu-Hsuan, 2006), where the Ancient Greeks used opium juice in the early Olympics for an advantage in their sport (Sportsanddrugs.procon.org, 2016). PED’s have the potential to drastically alter the state of the human body(Health.nsw.gov.au, 2016). Athletes in today’s…

Background Turner’s syndrome is a genetic disorder that occurs in 1 in every 2,500 female births. Though it occurs in about 3% of fetuses, 99% of these fetuses are spontaneously aborted[1]. Turner’s syndrome can be defined as a combination of phenotypes with varying expressivity along with the complete or partial loss of an X sex chromosome[2]. Symptoms of Turner’s syndrome include, but aren’t limited to short stature, glucose intolerance, broad chest and widely spread nipples, amenorrhea,…

Thyroid Storm The hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary gland, and the thyroid gland all work together to regulate the thyroid hormones which in turn have a significant role in the regulation of the body’s metabolism and calcium balance (Pullen & Embrey, 2013, p. 14). When these components fail to maintain the appropriate balance of the thyroid hormones, the result can be either a hyperactive thyroid or a hypoactive thyroid. As a nurse, it is important to be able to identify patients who may be…

hyperthyroidism? Hyperthyroidism is a condition when the thyroid gland is overactive and indicates an increased metabolic rate (Blesi, Kelley-Arney, & Wise, 2012). Thyroid gland is an organ that is positioned in the front of your neck and releases hormones that control our metabolism (energy), breathing, heart rate, nervous system, weight, body temperature, and many other functions in the body and is part of the body’s endocrine system. When the thyroid gland is overactive, the body’s processes…

overproduction of thyroid hormones. This overproduction is known as hyperthyroidism and there are a number of disorders and diseases that may result in hyperthyroidism, with Grave’s disease being the most common cause. According to Grazia Aleppo MD, FACE, FACP, who is an associate professor of Medicine at the Northwestern University in Chicago, IL, hyperthyroidism can be defined as a condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive and makes excessive amounts of thyroid hormone. The thyroid…

Thyroid hormone is an important hormone needed for brain maturation as it helps in the functioning of the brain throughout the life. Thyroid diseases have various clinical manifestations in adults like hypothyroidism causing lethargy, hyporeflexia and deprived motor coordination. Thyroid hormone deficiency can lead to irreversible brain damage depending on onset and duration time period. Subclinical hypothyroidism is usually related to memory damage, bipolar affective disorders, depression or…

Hashimoto’s disease? Hashimoto’s disease is a disease of the thyroid gland; a part of the endocrine system. The thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck. The endocrine system is responsible for all the chemical interactions in our body e.g. hormones. This is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the cells of the thyroid gland. It results in the inflammation and destruction of the gland, resulting in hypothyroidism. [3] Normal functioning of the thyroid gland: A…
