Mjesec svjesnosti o raku štitnjače održava se u cijelom svijetu na inicijativu i pod pokroviteljstvom Udruge preživjelih od raka štitnjače (ThyCa - Thyroid Cancer Survivors Association).

Ovu kampanju podržava farmaceutska kompanija Merck Serono u suradnji s glavnim organizatorom Međunarodnim udruženjem za štitnjaču (Thyroid Federation International), a provodi je Europsko udruženje za štitnjaču (European Thyroid Society), Latinoameričko društvo za štitnjaču (Latin American Thyroid Society) te Kinesko društvo za endokrinologiju (Chinese Society of endocrinology).

Thyroid-stimulating hormone je hormon hipofize koji stimulira stitnjacu da izlucuje svoje hormone (T3, T4).

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, TSH) u plazmi.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, TSH), hormona kojeg luči hipofiza.

Mogu li pacijenti oboljeli od hipotireoze u Hrvatskoj nabaviti ili dobiti na recept sljedeće lijekove: westhroid, armour thyroid, naturethroid, ili erfa thyroid?

Somatotropinomi i adenomi koji stvaraju adenokortikotropni hormon (engl. adenocorticotropic hormone; ACTH) zastupljeni su u 10 i 15 % svih slučajeva adenoma hipofize, dok su adenomi koji stvaraju tireotropin (engl. thyroid stimulating hormone; TSH) znatno rjeđi.

Samo lučenje hormona štitnjače (T3 i T4) regulira hipofiza (žlijezda u mozgu) sa svojim tiroid stimulirajućim hormonom (TSH - thyroid stimulating hormone) koji je pod nadzorom mozga, točnije hipotalamusa putem hormona koji oslobađa tireotropin (TRH - thyrotropin releasing hormone).

Pokazali su to rezultati velikog međunarodnog istraživanja koje su Merck Serono i Međunarodno udruženje za štitnjaču (TFI Thyroid Federation International) proveli među 5 tisuća ispitanika u deset svjetskih zemalja.

Od 11. - 13. Rujna 2008 peti put je održan takav skup Multidisciplinary Approach on Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands - www.thyroidgland-surgery.com (Multidisciplinarni pristup tumorima štitnjačei doštitnih žlijezda).

Određivanje antitijela štitnjače (engl. anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody, Anti TPO) važno je u dijagnostici autoimunih bolesti štitnjače.

Izlučivanje hormona štitnjače regulirano je hormonom koji izlučuje hipofiza, a nazivamo ga TSH = Thyroid Stimulating Hormone.

Hormoni tiroksin (T4) i trijodtironin (T3) sintetiziraju se i izlučuju iz štitnjače pod djelovanjem tireotropnog hormona (TSH, tireopropin, eng. thyroid stimulating hormone)

These autoimmune disorders include hyperthyroidism (an overactive or underactive thyroid gland), adrenocortical insufficiency (the adrenal gland does not produce enough of the hormone called corticosteroid), alopecia areata (patches of baldness), and pernicious anemia (a low level of red blood cells caused by failure of the body to absorb vitamin B12)

The most common manifestations of Down syndrome are the characteristic facial features, cognitive impairment, congenital heart disease, hearing deficits, short stature, thyroid disorders, and Alzheimer ' s disease.

In addition to the risks involved with the surgical procedure itself, the potential side effects of hysterectomy, and/or oophorectomy, can be horrendous, debilitating. Many of the books I read list the following aftereffects: depression, anxiety, osteoporosis, increased allergies, arthritis, loss of orgasm, loss of sexual desire, loss of sexual function, hot flashes, night sweats, migraines, weight gain, thyroid dysfunction, bowel dysfunction, memory loss, generalized fatigue, loss of bladder control, stress and urge incontinence

Further evidence to support this idea comes from the University of Alabama at Birmingham where reports of a case in which the absorption of thyroxine (an iodine-containing hormone produced by the thyroid gland; yes, it ' s important) was decreased due to the consumption of a soy protein dietary supplement

For example, the isoflavones (a phytoestrogen) found in soy are thought to upset hormone balance, and result in the aforementioned unwanted testosterone and estrogen changes in addition to thyroid problems

The subject of the case required oral doses of the thyroid hormone when consuming soy.

The immune system of someone with Hashimoto s mistakenly recognizes normal thyroid cells as foreign tissue, and it produces antibodies that destroy these cells

Several health-related organizations, including the Epilepsy Foundation of America and the American Thyroid Association, have raised concerns about the mandatory use of generic medications proposed by some states or required by health plans to save money.

Since many people with low thyroid are sensitive to very small changes in the dose of their medication, switching between brand name and generic versions of levothyroxine can cause symptoms of too little thyroid medication or side effects from too much medication

Numerous studies have shown that gluten is structurally similar to thyroid cells.

And when gluten is eaten by autoimmune people, the inflammation activates the immune system and the attack on the thyroid begins.

SIR - - We would like to report a great increase in the frequency of thyroid cancer in children in Belarus, which commenced in 1990 and continues.

Table 1 shows the incidence of thyroid cancer in children in the six regions of Belarus and Minsk City from 1986 to the end of the first half of 1992. It can be seen that the overall incidence rose from an average of just four cases per year from 1986 to 1989 inclusive, to 55 in 1991 and is projected to be not less than 60 in 1992. This increase is not uniformly distributed across the country: for example, there is no significant increase in Mogilev, Minsk City or Vitebsk.
