2. Thyroid Goiter: Definition, Diagnosis, Dangers, And Treatments. The term nontoxic goiter refers to enlargement of the thyroid which is not associated with overproduction of thyroid hormone or malignancy. http://www.endocrineweb.com/goiter.html

The term nontoxic goiter refers to enlargement of the thyroid which is not associated with overproduction of thyroid hormone or malignancy. The thyroid can become very large so that it can easily be seen as a mass in the neck. This picture depicts the outline of a normal size thyroid in black and the greatly enlarged goiter in pink. There are a number of factors which may cause the thyroid to become enlarged. A diet deficient in iodine can cause a goiter but this is rarely the cause because of the readily available iodine in our diets. A more common cause of goiter in America is an increase in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in response to a defect in normal hormone synthesis within the thyroid gland. The thyroid stimulating hormone comes from the pituitary and causes the thyroid to enlarge. This enlargement usually takes many years to become manifest. This picture depicts the typical appearance of a goiter in a middle aged woman. Note how her entire neck looks swollen because of the large thyroid. This mass will compress the trachea (windpipe) and esophagus (swallowing tube) leading to symptoms such as coughing, waking up from sleep feeling like you cant breath, and the sensation that food is getting stuck in the upper throat. Once a goiter gets this big, surgical removal is the only means to relieve the symptoms. Yes, sometimes they can get a lot bigger than this! INDICATIONS FOR TREATMENT Most small to moderate sized goiters can be treated by providing thyroid hormone in the form of a pill.

A simple goiter usually occurs when the thyroid gland is not able to produce enough thyroid hormone to meet the body's requirements. The thyroid gland compensates by enlarging, which usually overcomes mild deficiencies of thyroid hormone. A simple goiter may be classified as either an endemic (colloid) goiter or a sporadic (nontoxic) goiter. Endemic goiters occur within groups of people living in geographical areas with iodine-depleted soil, usually regions away from the sea coast. People in these communities might not get enough iodine in their diet. (Iodine is vital to the formation of thyroid hormone.) The modern use of iodized table salt in the U.S. prevents this deficiency; however, it is still common in central Asia and central Africa. In most cases of sporadic goiter the cause is unknown. Occasionally, certain medications such as lithium or aminoglutethimide can cause a nontoxic goiter.

Goiter Definition: Goiter represents an enlargement of the thyroid gland. Prevalence: Rare. Etiology: Fetal goiter can be associated with hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism or an euthyroid state. Goiter associated with hyperthyroidism can be the result of iodine excess or deficiency, intrauterine exposure to antithyroid drugs or congenital metabolic disorders of thyroid synthesis. Ultrasound features: The goiter is manifested as a solid, anteriorly located symmetric mass, that may result hyperextension of the fetal head. Polyhydramnios is common due to mechanical obstruction of the esophagus. Prognosis: Goiter may cause dystocia by extension of the fetal head during the process of labor. It can also cause upper airway obstruction, leading to acute respiratory failure. The prognosis depends on the basic cause of the goiter. Most cases of fetal goiters occur in women with a history of thyroid disease. Fetal blood sampling can aid in determining fetal thyroid status, especially in women suffering from Grave’s disease where a transplacental transfer of drugs or thyroid-stimulating antibodies may result in fetal goiter. Maternal therapy usually corrects fetal hyperthyroidism. Direct

document.write(TopLinks); Goiter A goiter is a swelling of the thyroid gland. It can be caused from a variety of conditions affecting the thyroid, such as underactivity of the gland ( Hypothyroidism ), overactivity ( Hyperthyroidism Thyroid Nodules or inflammation ( Thyroiditis ). The thyroid can also become enlarged temporarily and subside on its own without treatment. Rarely, a goiter can be caused by Thyroid Cancer Outside of the United States, a goiter occurs most often because of a lack of iodine, which is the substance the gland uses to make thyroid hormone. The thyroid swells because it is being stimulated to produce more thyroid hormone by the pituitary gland, which releases thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) into the bloodstream. In the U.S. iodine has been added to table salt so that, today, a goiter caused from a lack of iodine is a rare occurrence. Signs and Symptoms Swelling of the neck Hoarseness Sore throat Coughing Difficulty swallowing Feeling of pressure in the neck Rarely, difficulty breathing at night See also Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism Your doctor will run a number of diagnostic tests to determine what treatment is appropriate.

Enlargement of an otherwise normal thyroid gland is called colloid nodular goiter. A colloid nodular goiter occurs when the thyroid gland is unable to meet the metabolic demands of the body with sufficient hormone production. The thyroid gland compensates by enlarging, which usually overcomes mild deficiencies of thyroid hormone. If the thyroid gland is then re-exposed to iodine, the nodules may produce thyroid hormone independently. Occasionally, the nodules may produce too much thyroid hormone, causing thyrotoxicosis. This is called a

Thyroid Cancers [General] Thyroid disorders include euthyroid goiter, euthyroid sick syndrome, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroiditis, and thyroid cancers. Discussion of the synthesis and physiology of thyroid hormones and of the laboratory testing of thyroid function are prerequisites to a thorough understanding of these disorders. Synthesis and Release of Thyroid Hormones The general scheme of thyroid hormone biosynthesis is shown in Fig. 8-1. Iodide, which is ingested in food and water, is actively concentrated by the thyroid gland, converted to organic iodine by thyroid peroxidase, and incorporated into tyrosine in intrafollicular thyroglobulin within the colloid at the basal cell surface of the thyroid follicular cell. The tyrosines are iodinated at one (monoiodotyrosine) or two (diiodotyrosine) sites and then coupled to form the active hormones (diiodotyrosine + diiodotyrosine tetraiodothyronine [thyroxine, T

SymptomSolutions, Inc. The New Look Of Health And Wellness Goiter A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland which is located at the front of the neck. Goiters are benign (non-cancerous). A goiter results when the thyroid gland increases in size in an attempt to keep up with the body's demand for thyroid hormones. Symptoms - Symptoms of a goiter include a lump noticed in the lower front of the neck that may be tender and make swallowing difficult. Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism (i.e. nervousness, weight loss with increased hunger, etc.) may be present as well. Causes - A goiter is usually due to a lack of iodine in the diet. Iodine is a substance found primarily in seafood and iodized salt. An internal defect in hormone production or ingestion of certain foods (e.g. turnips) and medication (e.g. aminosalicylic acid, lithium, cobalt, iodides, etc.) may decrease the amount of thyroid hormone production and lead to a goiter. Diagnosis - Observation of the aforementioned symptoms along with a physical examination is necessary to formulate a diagnosis. A thyroid scan, ultrasound study or possibly a biopsy may be needed for proper diagnosis and to rule out cancer.

Goiter II rotten.com Your thyroid is that little glandular butterfly in your neck that you're not exactly sure what it is or why it's there. It wasn't even described in scientific literature until in 1656 Thomas Wharton made a distinction between it and the larynx, but for 200 more years its function (regulation of the body's metabolism) was completely unknown. Goiters are excessive enlargements of the thyroid, which may be caused by iodine deficiency, or by an excess of thyroid stimulating hormone. Because we salt everything with iodized salt, iodine deficiency is never a problem in America, but it is elsewhere in the world. Fetish Maximus Rotten Faces of Death
