	Thyroid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The thyroid is one of the larger endocrine glands - 10-20 grams in adults- and butterfly-shaped: the wings correspond to the lobes and the body to the isthmus of the thyroid.
		The superior thyroid artery is the first branch of the external carotid, and supplies mostly the upper half of the thyroid gland, while the inferior thyroid artery is the major branch of the thyrocervical trunk, which comes off of the subclavian artery.
		A nodule or lobe of the thyroid is sometimes removed for biopsy or for the presence of an autonomously functioning adenoma causing hyperthyroidism.

	Thyroid
		All thyroid fine-needle aspirates were correlated with corresponding histologic and cytologic follow-up for a 4-year period, and the accuracy was determined using receiver operator characteristic curves, which allow inclusion of nondiagnostic and indeterminate cases.
		To determine whether some thyroid fine-needle aspirates classified as nondiagnostic correlate with benign thyroid nodules and can be distinguished from other nondiagnostic aspirates, I reviewed (from a total of 1,581) 80 nondiagnostic cases, all of which were hypocellular and lacked colloid, and correlated the cytologic findings with the results of pathologic follow-up.
		Solid cell nests of the thyroid are embryonic remnants of endodermal origin that may be difficult to distinguish from squamous metaplasia, metastatic squamous carcinoma, papillary microcarcinoma, medullary carcinoma, and C-cell hyperplasia.

		Thyroid ultrasound is useful to characterize presence of nodules and size of the gland and is also useful in detecting local recurrence of thyroid cancer.
		Thyroid hormone’s influence on other lab tests: in hypothyroidism, cholesterol (via decreased LDL receptors), CPK, LDH, prolactin can be elevated, and hyponatremia and anemia may occur; in hyperthyroidism, cholesterol and CPK may be decreased, and elevations of serum calcium (rare, but hypercalciuria is common), alkaline phosphatase, hepatic enzymes, bilirubin, ferritin, and SHBG can be seen.

	Thyroid: Overview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Thyroid hormones act to control metabolism (the body's ability to break down food and store it as energy, and the ability to break down food into waste products with a release of energy in the process).
		Because the thyroid is producing too much hormone with this condition, the body develops an increased metabolic state, with the functions of many body systems speeding up and producing too much body heat.
		Whether the problem is with the thyroid gland or the pituitary gland, the result is that the thyroid is not producing enough hormone, and most major body functions, both physical and mental processes, slow down.

	Thyroid Disorders
		Thyroid problems are among the most common medical conditions but, because their symptoms often appear gradually, they are commonly misdiagnosed.
		A thyroid scan should then be performed to determine whether the hyperthyroidism is due to Graves' disease or another condition such as toxic multinodular goiter, hot nodule, subacute thyroiditis, or silent thyroiditis.
		Because the thyroid is the only organ in the body that takes up and uses iodine, when a dose of radioactive iodine is given the radiation enters the thyroid and destroys part of it.

	Thyroid
		Because long-term low thyroid function causes poor circulation and reduces delivery of oxygen to tissue cellular and therefore has an association with heart disease and cancer as well as making you feel miserable, having even a few of these symptoms warrants checking your thyroid function.
		However, in spite of the available blood tests for thyroid/pituitary/liver/adrenal function, the diagnosis is often missed.(1,2) One of the most common mis-conceptions regarding thyroid function is the assumption that and reliance on the requirement that the diagnosis of hypothyroidism depends on an elevated TSH level.
		The most commonly used tests of thyroid hormone levels (note that I use the term level rather than function because the two are not always equal) are the T4 (or total T4), T3-uptake, FTI (also called the T7 or Free Thyroxine Index), and total T3 (sometimes called the T3-by-RIA).

	THYROID DISEASE
		When thyroid is inactive (i.e., no TSH or other stimulation, or there is excessive iodine that as you remember strongly inhibits lysis of thyroglobulin), the cells flatten down and the amount of colloid increases.
		Thyroid disease is common and easy to treat effectively, but its onset is insidious and it is often overlooked.
		When you are monitoring thyroid hormone replacement in somebody who has been hypothyroid, the conventional wisdom is to try to avoid their becoming even a little bit hyperthyroid, since this will supposedly lead to osteoporosis in the long run.

	The Thyroid Gland - Endocrinlogy Health Guide
		The thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck, below the larynx (voice box).
		The thyroid tissue is made up of two types of cells: follicular cells and parafollicular cells.
		Levels of hormones secreted by the thyroid are controlled by the pituitary gland's thyroid-stimulating hormone, which in turn is controlled by the hypothalamus.

	Dog Owner's Guide: Canine thyroid disease
		The thyroid gland lies on the dog’s trachea, just below the larynx; triiodothyronine and levothyroxine, the hormones produced by the thyroid, govern the body’s basic metabolism — including control of growth and development and maintenance of protein, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism — throughout life.
		Veterinarians may suggest a thyroid test if a pet has gained weight or is having chronic skin infections or if a breeding dog is experiencing reproductive difficulties, especially if the animal lacks energy and has a scruffy or dull coat.
		The presence of autoantibodies in the thyroid test is considered by some researchers and breeders to be a forecaster of autoimmune lymphocytic thyroiditis — the inherited form of the disease — but other researchers consider the data base of information to be too small to make that call.

	Thyroid
		It appears that autoimmune thyroid disease occurs earlier in life than idiopathic hypothyroidism, supporting the concept that the idiopathic form may result from the autoimmune disease.
		Semi-annual thyroid biopsy results from a small group of affected dogs at MSU also support the conclusion that idiopathic hypothyroidism is the end stage of autoimmune thyroid disease.
		Since idiopathic hypothyroidism appears to be the end stage of autoimmune thyroiditis, the majority of hypothyroidism in dogs is a result of this inherited autoimmune disease.
