My Hypothyroidism At eleven years old I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and it has affected me in many ways. This is an ongoing disorder with no cure that my mom and myself deal with everyday. My mom was diagnosed at 36 years old after the birth of her second child and before she was pregnant with me. First, Hypothyroidism is the underactive thyroid disease (American Thyroid Association). In this paper I discuss my symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment plan and how it relates to others suffering…

Hashimoto’s Disease Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder in which your immune system creates antibodies that attack your thyroid gland. Causing inflammation in the thyroid gland leading to hypothyroidism a condition in which the thyroid does not make enough hormones for the body's need. The most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States is Hashimoto’s. Hashimoto's disease typically progresses slowly over years and you may have it for many years before you develop any symptoms.…

Diganostic criteria for hypothyroidism is based on symptoms and the results of blood tests that measure the level of TSH and the level of the thyroid hormone thyroxine. The high level of TSH and low level of thyroid hormones as known as free T4 level indicate an underactive thyroid hormone or hypothyroidism. When the thyroxine level is low, the pituitary gland produces TSH to stimulate thyroid gland to produce more thyroid hormone. TSH tests play an important role in managing hypothyroidism.…

Hypothyroidism in Adolescents, Adults, and The Elderly Hypothyroidism, commonly referred to as underactive thyroid disease, is a disorder where the thyroid gland in a person’s body slows its production of hormones. This in turn causes a person’s body to create less energy, therefore making that person’s metabolism exceptionally lethargic and unresponsive. Studies show that, over 1/10 of the U.S. population alone suffer from hypothyroidism. There are many different theories on what exactly…

Filial Imprinting is when precocial infants forms an attachment to the mother, or object, and does not leave her side. It is a very interesting subject to learn about because there still is a lot of speculation of where and how this occurs in these precocial infants. Being able to understand how filial imprinting occurs can explain how the body works and the psychological effect it has on these animals. Filial imprinting help creates the foundation for later learning in life for these animals,…

Introduction Subclinical or “mild” hypothyroidism (SCH), which is defined as elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels with free thyroxine concentrations within the reference range, is a very common disorder that increases with age and affects up to 18% of the elderly, with a higher prevalence in women compared to men (Baumgartner, 2014). Subclinical hypothyroidism is often diagnosed when thyroid tests are ordered for non-specific symptoms such as depression, weight gain, or fatigue.…

Congenital hypothyroidism is when newborns have an insufficient amount of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones are an important part of life. They involve the CNS system, cardiovascular system, reproductive system, appropriate growth/development, and metabolism. According to Agrawal (2015), “Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common congenital endocrine disorder in childhood and is also one of the most preventable causes of mental retardation.” This disorder is difficult to diagnose…

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, abbreviated HT for short, is also known as Chronic Lymphatic Thyroiditis. It is an autoimmune disorder, which means it occurs when immune cells attack healthy tissue instead of protecting it. There are also antibodies produced that are directed against the thyroid gland and lead to chronic inflammation. It is not yet known why some people produce these antibodies, although this condition is linked to families. When your thyroid comes under attack from malfunctioning…

According to Joseph et al. (2000), perchlorate has been lately identified as a persistent and pervasive contaminant of drinking water substances in some of metropolitan regions. Perchlorate is stable beneath normal atmospheric conditions and particularly soluble in water. When a perchlorate compound is released into the environment, it will dissolve in water, and because of its capability to adsorb directly to surfaces, it will be transported thru bulk movement of water and mixing processes…
