Emergencies in Thyroid Function
Journal of Emergency Nursing, 2009The thyroid gland can be an overlooked source of a medical emergency. This butterfly-shaped gland is located just inferior to the larynx on the anterior neck and is responsible for the metabolic rate of many processes in the human body. A hyperthyroid state elevates the rate of metabolism, and a hypothyroid state is cause for a decreased metabolic rate.

Thyroid hormones are essential for normal growth, sexual development and reproductive function. During puberty, changes in thyroid functions and an increase in thyroid volume occur as an adaptation to body and sexual development. Hypothyroidism diagnosed late in prepubertal years, usually due to Hashimoto's thyroiditis, can cause a delay of puberty or ...

Sir .—In a report by Lyen and associates 1 in AJDC , a male neonate was described in whom the serum thyroxine (T 4 ) and thyroid-stimulating concentrations underwent an interesting sequence of changes during the first two months of life; they ascribed these changes to prolonged exposure to povidone-iodine solution.

A moderate elevation of thyrotropin (TSH) concentrations, which is associated with triiodothyronine (T3) values in or slightly above the upper normal range, is frequently found in obese humans. These alterations seem rather a consequence than a cause of obesity since weight loss leads to a normalization of elevated thyroid hormone levels.

Thyroid Function in the Elderly
Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1988Many differences in thyroid function exist between elderly and younger populations. Although serum T4 levels probably do not change with age, serum T3 levels appear to decline. Hyperthyroidism in the geriatric population may be atypical and is characterized by anorexia and constipation. The pulse rate is often slower than in younger patients. Apathetic

Functional Morphology of the Thyroid
1988Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the characteristic ultrastructural and cytochemical functions of the follicular epithelial cell. The relationship between the uniqueness of the secreted hormones and that of the functional morphology of the thyroid gland and the follicular epithelial cell is also discussed.
