Extractions: The thyroid is a gland that is located in your neck, in front of your windpipe. It makes hormones that affect the workings of many of the bodys organs. About 2 percent of pregnant women have a thyroid disorder, though many have no symptoms. In some cases, the thyroid produces too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism); in others, not enough (hypothyroidism). If you are already pregnant, continue taking your medication and talk to your provider as soon as possible. While the medications used to treat thyroid conditions are generally safe to take during pregnancy, your blood levels need to be monitored and the amount of medication you take adjusted as your pregnancy progresses. At this time, health care providers do not routinely perform thyroid screening for women who are planning to get pregnant or who are newly pregnant. If you think you might have a thyroid condition (see below for symptoms), ask your provider if you should be tested. Thyroid disorders are generally diagnosed with a blood test.

Extractions: A previously healthy 14 year old female complains of a fast heart rate, weight loss, and fatigue over the past 2 months. Her family history is significant for a grandmother and aunt with Hashimoto thyroiditis. Exam: VS T 37, HR 110, R 22, BP 120/50. On exam, she is comfortable without diaphoresis. She has a mild tachycardia without murmurs or gallop. She is found to have a smooth goiter with a bruit, a mild tremor, and exaggerated DTRs. Labs: Elevated T4, undetectable TSH. Thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin assay is positive. She is diagnosed with Graves' disease. She is treated with PTU (propylthiouracil) after which her thyroid function normalizes. Clinically, there is resolution of her tachycardia, weight loss, and fatigue, and her goiter decreases in size. Her thyroid function is monitored routinely and the dose of PTU adjusted as indicated to maintain a euthyroid state. Two years after diagnosis, she goes into remission and PTU is discontinued. Only small amounts of T4 and T3 are free or unbound. This free hormone is available to tissues. T4 serves largely as a prohormone and is deiodinated in peripheral tissues by several iodothyronine monodeiodinase enzymes to active T3 or biologically inactive reverse T3 (rT3). The major source of circulating T3 is peripheral conversion from T4, largely by the liver. Only small amounts of T3 are secreted by the thyroid gland in euthyroid subjects ingesting adequate iodine. Normally, T4 is deiodinated to both T3 and rT3. The T3 mediates the predominant effects of thyroid hormones via binding to the 50-kD nuclear protein receptors, which function as transcription factors modulating thyroid hormone-dependent gene expression (1,2).

Extractions: Geriatric Times by Joy Hought Geriatric Times July/August 2003 Vol. IV Issue 4 The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the lower neck, just above the collarbone. When it makes too much or too little thyroid hormone, many parts of your body may not work properly. About 27 million Americans have thyroid disorders; eight out of 10 of them are women. More than half of those with thyroid disorders have never been diagnosed. There are two forms of thyroid disease: overactive (hyperthyroidism) and underactive (hypothyroidism). Both occur more often in older adults. Because many of the symptoms seem to be normal signs of aging, both patients and doctors can overlook them. If you are healthy, your doctor should check your thyroid if you suddenly notice any of the following: If thyroid disease is not treated, it can lead to serious long-term problems such as high cholesterol levels, heart disease, muscle weakness and osteoporosis. Your doctor can order simple and inexpensive blood tests to find out if you have high or low thyroid hormone levels and prescribe any needed treatment. Hyperthyroidism In this disorder, the thyroid gland has grown bigger and/or makes too much thyroid hormone.

Extractions: University of Iowa More than 13 million Americans have thyroid disorders and more than half of them aren't even aware of it. Are you one of them? Women are five to six times more likely to suffer from thyroid disorders and approximately one in eight women will develop a thyroid problem during her lifetime. Thyroid disorders fall into two categories: Hypothyroidism the underactive thyroidis the most common form of thyroid problems, affecting four to eight percent of the general U.S. population. UI Health Care endocrinologist Thomas O'Dorisio, M.D., says symptoms include droopy eyelids, intolerance to cold, difficulty swallowing, forgetfulness, decreased concentration, and feelings of sluggishness and fatigue. You may feel depressed and experience mood swings. Your hair may become dry and brittle, your skin may become dry and itchy, your voice may become deep and raspy, you may be constipated, and may experience muscle cramps. O'Dorisio says you may have trouble losing weight, no matter how closely or strictly you follow a diet. "Hypothyroidism is easily treated with thyroid hormone replacement therapy using levothyroxine sodium," says O'Dorisio.

Extractions: IDENTIFYING THYROID DISORDERS Celeste M. Gonzalez C.V.T. Many veterinary articles in canine publications of late have discussed thyroid disorders. This article attempts to acquaint the reader with various diagnostic tests employed in diagnosing thyroid dysfunction. However, in order to gain a keener understanding of diagnostic tests, a brief overview of the thyroid gland and its function in canines is in order. How the Thyroid Gland Functions The thyroid gland is a bi-lobed structure which lies on the underside of the lower portion of the trachea. Unlike other animals, the lobes are not connected. Thyroid tissue is unique in its ability to collect circulating iodine in the blood stream and combine it, through a complex biochemical process, into the hormone thyroxin. The activity of the thyroid gland is under the direct control of the anterior pituitary gland and one of its hormones, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). TSH release is controlled by a releasing hormone (TSH-RH) from the hypothalamus gland. That is, in order for TSH to be released and signal the thyroid gland to produce hormone, it must receivethe message from the hypothalamus to do so. There is a feedback mechanism whereby TSH production by the pituitary and thyroxin production by the thyroid is maintained in a balance. The thyroid hormones, T4 and T3, are responsible to some degree for the function of various body systems. They exert their effects on basal metabolic rate, body weight, growth, metabolism, skin and hair, infection susceptibility, sensitivity to drugs, and various aspects of the cardiovascular, central nervous, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and skeletal muscle systems.
