In 1926 the Japanese physician Tetsushiro Shinosaki, from Fukuoka, observed the high rate of thyroid disease in Japanese people with periodic paralysis.

If you have a thyroid problem, that actually makes the thyroid problem worse.

Surgery tends to be done only when just one of the thyroid glands is affected (unilateral disease) however, following surgery, the remaining gland may become over active.

And after it leaves the pituitary, it goes into the circulation, and it acts on the thyroid where there are high receptors for TSH on the surface of the thyroid cells, and it stimulates the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormone, typically thyroxine (T4), or triiodothyronine (T3).

Those are the two main circulating thyroid hormones.

Thyroid hormone is critical to normal function of cells.

An important component of this project is the strengthening of the local capability for the early detection of thyroid cancer and other thyroid diseases.

TSH it makes, if the levels are too low, it will stimulate production of TSH to make the thyroid gland make more thyroid hormone.

Lack of dietary iodine causes growth stimulation in the thyroid, and some studies suggest that iodine deficiency increases the risk of radiation induced thyroid cancer.

When there is too much thyroid hormone, the TSH will be low.

Diseases of concern are thyroid cancer, benign tumours, autoimmune thyroiditis and hypothyroidism.

Two additional sites, namely thyroid and skin, have significant excess incident cancers.

In contrast, thyroid damage may occur at doses as low as about 1 Gy.

20. Of the radionuclides emitting low LET radiation that may enter the body, iodine 131 is the most important, since it is used to diagnose thyroid conditions and to treat hyperthyroidism and thyroid carcinoma.

Bullying is a disease. Prejudice is a disease. Violence is a disease.

Potassium iodide blocks thyroid absorption of radioactive iodine, an early risk in a nuclear release.

We're going to plunge into the body now, and we've landed in the thyroid gland.

49. The thyroid project deals with the detection, characterization and treatment of selected thyroid diseases in children living in the strictly controlled areas (where levels of radiocaesium contamination exceed 15 Ci km², or 550 kBq m²).

Disease.

If there is too much thyroid hormone, every function of the body tends to speed up.

5. Special attention continued to be given to the incidence of thyroid cancer, particularly in Belarus.

The article described a successful treatment of a patient with thyroid cancer metastases using radioiodine (I 131).

Thyroid hormone is important at a cellular level, affecting nearly every type of tissue in the body.

Thyroid hormone functions as a controller of the pace of all of the processes in the body.

Hypothalamus in the midbrain, pituitary gland nestled close by, thyroid, here, pancreas, here, adrenals, here, ovaries, here.

That's what we call coronary artery disease, or heart disease.

Excess radioiodine that does not get absorbed into the thyroid gland is eliminated by the body in urine.

Propylthiouracil also works outside the thyroid gland, preventing conversion of (mostly inactive) T4 to the active form T3.

Such materials and patient data are essential for good molecular cancer epidemiology, especially for radiation induced thyroid cancers.

The most alarming aspect of this is the increase in the incidence of cancer of the thyroid gland.

And then you see pretty much the inverse picture when someone has a deficiency of thyroid hormone hypothyroidism.

WASH and disease

Parkinson's disease, HlV.

So this causes coronary artery disease, which is sometimes called heart disease.

Homosexuality is like... is like disease, and I'm afraid of disease. man

A rare disease, also referred to as an orphan disease, is any disease that affects a small percentage of the population.

In addition, the long term epidemiological study of thyroid cancer incidence in the affected areas was a high priority.

According to forecasts, however, in addition to the growing incidence of thyroid cancer among persons exposed to radioactive iodine, an increase in the number of cases of other forms of malignant neoplasm and cardiovascular and other non oncological types of disease may be expected in the years immediately ahead.

There's no disease, no infectious disease that essentially kills everyone who gets it.

According to UNSCEAR, up to the year 2005, an excess of over 6000 cases of thyroid cancer have been reported.

Preliminary results suggest that thyroid doses might have been as high as 10 Gy in some years in the 1940s.
