Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Hyperthyroid," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Hyperthyroid in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Hyperthyroid when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Hyperthyroid, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
Since being diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease in 2003, I have corresponded with 1,000s of other thyroid patients by email, message boards and forums. As a forum moderator I also responded to fellow-patients with over 3,000 reply-posts. Using some of these forum and email replies as outlines, I have rewritten and compiled them to include the best possible information on the thyroid disease subjects they were directed at answering.This "question and answer" format provides an interesting method for reading and learning about aspects of diseases, disorders and conditions affecting the thyroid gland. Many of the answers include aspects of my personal experience with hypothyroidism caused by autoimmune thyroiditis and co-morbid health disorders I have developed since my initial diagnoses that are also common to other thyroid patients.It is my hope that the information contained in this book helps to provide an interesting, general education on hypothyroid and hyperthyroid related symptoms, diagnoses and treatments. ...

Description:
Hyperthyroidism was induced by subcutaneous injections of l-thyroxine (T"4) (0.5 mg/kg/day) for 3 days in order to investigate the effects of acute hyperthyroidism on the vasorelaxing responses to isoprenaline and acetylcholine in isolated rat aortae. In the aortae, there was no significant difference in isoprenaline-induced relaxation between hyperthyroid and control rats, however acetylcholine-induced relaxation was significantly greater in hyperthyroid rats than in control rats. N^G-nitro-l-arginine (L-NOARG), an inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthase, reduced isoprenaline- and acetylcholine-induced relaxations in both hyperthyroid and control rats and in the presence of L-NOARG no significant difference in the acetylcholine-induced relaxation was seen between the two groups of rats. Indomethacin, a cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor, had no significant influence on both isoprenaline- and acetylcholine-induced relaxations in both control and hyperthyroid rats. 17-Octadecynoic acid (17-ODYA), a cytochrome P-450 mono-oxygenase inhibitor, reduced the both isoprenaline- and acetylcholine-induced relaxation in both hyperthyroid and control rats, and acetylcholine-induced relaxation was still greater in hyperthyroid rats than in control rats. These results indicate that an acute hyperthyroidism significantly enhances muscarinic receptor- but not adrenoceptor-mediated relaxations of the aortae and L-NOARG abolished an enhancement by acute hyperthyroidism of muscarinic receptor-mediated relaxation, suggesting that the effects may be due to an alteration in muscarinic receptor-mediated NO systems of the aortae at early stage of hyperthyroidism. ...

Product Description
The most common cause of thyroid disorders in industrialized countries including the U.S. is autoimmune thyroid disease. The disease process is caused by thyroid antibodies, also called auto-antibodies sent from the immune system that mistakenly recognize the thyroid gland an an intruder or invader in the body.

Over time, thyroid autoimmunity causes hormone imbalance resulting in either hypothyroidism (under active thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).

In this 6,545word ebook, I have endeavored to provide a study resource on the subject of thyroid antibodies, including my perspective and experience as an autoimmune thyroid disease patient with hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Subjects addressed in the chapters, include descriptions of these thyroid antibodies and how they are blood-tested for, to detect developing or overt thyroid diseases. An important question also discussed, is that of whether or not symptoms of thyroid disease can occur as a result of thyroid antibodies, before hormone levels become abnormal (short answer - "yes").

Product Description
Patients with thyroid diseases can experience complications despite being treated for their thyroid disorders. Some complications may be related to inadequate treatment that is in need of being better-optimized while other complications arise due to the disease itself and must be treated as a seperate health disorder.

In this e-book I have endeavored to address the more common complications seen in thyroid patients and the treatments that are commonly recommended for them. I also relate my personal experience with some of these thyroid disease related complications and the treatments I undertook to resolve them.

Included in the chapters are discussions on hair loss, diminished sex drive, adrenal fatigue, weight gain, diabetes risk and prevention and much more.

Product Description
The metabolism of the body is regulated by thyroid hormones. These include the T-4, T-3, Reverse T-3 and TSH (the last one being a pituitary hormone).

The levels of these hormones are tested to determine thyroid function and to detect hormone disorders but some of them continue to be retested at regular intervals, to monitor thyroid hormone replacement therapy as well.

Thyroid patients who are better educated in regard to these hormones have better ability to be proactive in their treatments and communicate with their doctors so that they recieve the best possible results from their hormone replacement therapies.

The Chapters:

The Purpose of Thyroid Function Hormones
The Best Blood Tests of Thyroid Function
Interpreting Your Blood Lab Results
TSH for Monitoring Thyroid Hormone Therapy
Newly Diagnosed/Treated Patients
Differences between Diagnostic and Treatment TSH
Thyroid Supplements Vs Thyroid Hormones
T-4 versus Combination T-4 and T-3 Hormone Medication

Product Description
The One “Roid” You Should Know All About
No, it’s not the illegal stuff taken by misguided athletes.
It’s not a prescription prescribed by your physician to cure an ailment.

This particular “roid” is actually much more dangerous than all the others combined – especially when it isn’t functioning properly. Give up? It’s the “thyroid.”

This innocuous little gland can be the harbinger of horrible things to come or it can be one of your body’s best friends. It all depends on whether it is functioning in a healthy manner or if it isn’t working properly.

Many people have no idea how important to a healthy body the thyroid is. One of the problems is recognizing the symptoms of thyroid disease. The symptoms can replicate other illnesses, initially making it difficult to diagnose.

Another problem is the variety of symptoms. They run the gambit depending on whether you have a hypothyroid or a hyperthyroid.

Aching muscles to brittle fingernails along with a laundry list of other symptoms could be indicative of Hypothyroidism. If that isn’t confusing enough, a Hyperthyoid can manifest as anxiety, fatigue, bowel problems as well as a host of other problems.

We’ve established that it is difficult to diagnose. The symptoms, if left untreated, can result in serious medical problems up to and including heart disease and death. In other words, it’s not something to mess around with.

What Can You Do?

Well, the first thing you need is answers. You need to learn all the different symptoms of thyroid disease. We named a few above but there are numerous other considerations.

“Understanding the Thyroid” has all the information you need to reach a decision as to whether you need to get medical help. Not only will you get a full list of all the symptoms we touched upon here, you will also learn about many more serious complications.

For example, there is an entire segment on who is at risk for thyroid disease.Also discover what the differences are between the hypo and hyper designations.

Did you know that there is a correlation between a woman’s cycle, here thyroid and fertility? It’s all about balance. This is a must read for women who wish to become pregnant.

Are You a Ticking Time Bomb?

One of the insidious factors at play with thyroid disease is that the symptoms take so long to manifest that you can be in full thyroid disease mode and not really know it.

Learn just how the symptoms can mimic other ailments and why it’s so important to get a proper diagnosis. Joint pains, obesity and infertility are all potential symptoms of other diseases but you may not know to link them thyroid disease.

Early detection is imperative!

That lack of knowledge can be deadly!

Drop whatever you are doing right now. Yes, it’s that important! Grab your copy of “Understanding the Thyroid.”

Hopefully you, or your loved one, will never be diagnosed with thyroid disease. But if you have the slightest inkling that some of the brief symptoms we’ve discussed here might apply to you . . .?

Well, as the old saying goes, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” That couldn’t be truer in this instance.

Who in the heck thought that increased perspiration, accelerated heartbeat or frequent bowel movements could be a sign of hyperthyroidism?

Or that menstrual changes, depression or infrequent bowel movements could point to hypothyroidism.

Did you know that the diet for either form of thyroid disease is totally different? What one should eat for a hyperthyroid is not the same as it is for the hypothyroid. You’ll learn about that inside “Understanding the Thyroid.”

The line between the two forms of thyroid disease is a fine one, but it shouldn’t be ignored. Thyroid disease is complicated. You need to understand it so you or your loved one does not become just another statistic! ... Read more

little-known political junkie hits a bulls-eye
A friend gave me this book a while back and I thought it really got to what is wrong with our two-party system. The book is quite funny in places as well. The biggest downside is that he never really tells us what animalmascot (New Party Animal) we should look for to join the donkey andelephant. He leaves it up to the reader, and my bet right now is that itshould be a pro wrestler! ... Read more
