Download or read book Low Body Temperatures but Not Hypothyroid written by Phoebe Greene and published by Phoebe Greene. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: YOU WALK FROM THE DOCTOR’S SURGERY CONFUSED. All the blood tests are normal. You don’t drink (much), you don’t smoke, your blood pressure and heart function are normal. You are not diabetic, overweight, have a genetic disorder or a particular illness. You might already be eating a sensible diet of fruit and veg with low fat, wholegrains and protein. You might even be a member of a fitness club. So why does fatigue dog some of your days? Add some or all of the following: dry skin, crusty eyes, hair loss, thrush, migraines, bloating, dizzy spells, nausea, constipation, depression, water retention, swollen joints and a stubborn spare-tyre around the middle. The cause the health-gremlins may have been speculated upon: borderline diabetes, food intolerances, an immune disorder or SAD. Hypothyroidism would seem to fit, but all tests are normal. I know because these health gremlins have dogged most of my adult life. After a health crisis where I started losing my hair, I threw away my bag of medication and embarked upon diet and health supplement trials. All records have been meticulously kept and posted on a personal blog over several months. I have now written this book to share with you my findings which shocked and surprised me. All photographs are of me, retaining my anonymity, due to the personal nature of the information contained. Whether you are a teenager, middle-aged or on the menopause, it seems these health-gremlins (as I call them) have to be accepted as part of being human. But it doesn’t have to be this way. This book is written for those who suffer the health-gremlins without a known cause despite health checks and blood tests. You will find the hard truths here, one of which is that your health is not that far away. The banish-your-health-gremlins journey has begun. With 30,000 words and over 100 images. Note: always seek the advice of your doctor or specialist before making changes to your medication, diet, exercise or lifestyle.
Download or read book Hypothyroidism written by Sics Editore and published by SICS Editore. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identify the possibility of hypothyroidism when the patient's symptoms include fatigue, constipation, feeling cold, impaired memory and slow heart rate.The disease is common and its symptoms may be vague. Diagnosis of hypothyroidism and treatment of hypothyroidism originating in the thyroid gland (primary hypothyroidism) are tasks of the primary health care.Hypothyroidism is easy to confirm or exclude by determining serum TSH and free T4 (FT4) concentrations.Remember that hypothyroidism can be the cause of high serum cholesterol or creatine kinase (CK) concentrations. In replacement therapy, a young or middle-aged patient usually feels best if TSH concentration is about 1–2 mU/l and FT4 concentration is close to the upper limit of the reference range.Elderly patients with e.g. angina pectoris or arrhythmias often are more susceptible to the effects of thyroxine. In them, the maintenance dose remains slightly lower and TSH concentration respectively a little higher.Ultrasonography has no role in the investigation of hypothyroidism (unless it is indicated by the findings on palpation).Thyroxine should not be used for the treatment of e.g. depression, low energy level or overweight in a person who is biochemically euthyroid.

Download or read book Medicare Coverage of Routine Screening for Thyroid Dysfunction written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-09-01 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Medicare program was established in 1965, it was viewed as a form of financial protection for the elderly against catastrophic medical expenses, primarily those related to hospitalization for unexpected illnesses. The first expansions to the program increased the eligible population from the retired to the disabled and to persons receiving chronic renal dialysis. It was not until 1980 that an expansion of services beyond those required "for the diagnosis or treatment of illness or injury or to improve the functioning of a malformed body member" was included in Medicare. These services, known as preventive services, are intended either to prevent disease (by vaccination) or to detect disease (by diagnostic test) before the symptoms of illness appear. A Committee was formed "to conduct a study on the addition of coverage of routine thyroid screening using a thyroid stimulating hormone test as a preventive benefit provided to Medicare beneficiaries under Title XVIII of the Social Security Act for some or all Medicare beneficiaries."
Download or read book Endemic Cretinism written by John Dennison and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-25 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responding to a renewed interest in the growing problem of iodine deficiency worldwide, Drs. Charles Oxnard and Peter Obendorf, along with experienced translator and anatomist John Dennison, take a fresh look at the classic text, Der endemische Kretinismus, published in 1936 by Springer. Translated here for the first time into English, this landmark text will be a welcome resource for researchers confronting the problem of iodine deficiency. Oxnard and Obendorf point out that there is very little detailed knowledge or numerical data on cretinism available in the English-speaking world. In addition, highly-renowned Professor Basil S. Hetzel, recently-retired World Health Organization Chairman of the International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders, published in 2009 with Dr Chen Zu-pei on the resurgence of iodine deficiency in China. Indeed, throughout the entire developing world there may be as many as two billion people at risk to iodine deficiency; perhaps three quarters of a billion have goiter, and ten million may be cretins. Even in developed countries, iodine deficiency is re-emerging (as in New South Wales in 19% of children) with the result of significantly reduced numbers of gifted children (though this is not cretinism per se). Certain to be of significant interest to a wide range of researchers, health providers and professionals, including government health administrators, this English translation of Endemic Cretinism is a major contribution to the literature.

Download or read book Plum and Posner s Diagnosis and Treatment of Stupor and Coma written by Jerome B. Posner MD and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plum and Posner's Diagnosis and Treatment of Stupor and Coma, 5th edition, is a major update of the classic work on diagnosing the cause of coma, with the addition of completely new sections on treatment of comatose patients, by Dr. Jan Claassen, the Director of the Neuro-ICU at Columbia New York Presbyterian Hospital. The first chapter of the book provides an up-to-date review on the brain mechanisms that maintain a conscious state in humans, and how lesions that damage these mechanisms cause loss of consciousness or coma. The second chapter reviews the neurological examination of the comatose patient, which provides the basis for determining whether the patient is suffering from a structural brain injury causing the coma, or from a metabolic disorder of consciousness. The third and fourth chapters review the pathophysiology of structural lesions causing coma, and the specific disease states that result in coma. Chapter five is a comprehensive treatment of the many causes of metabolic coma. Chapter 6 review psychiatric causes of unresponsiveness and how to identify and treat them. Chapters 7 and 8 review the overall emergency treatment of comatose patients, followed by the treatment of specific causes of coma. Chapter 9 examines the long term outcomes of coma, including the minimally conscious state and the persistent vegetative state, and how they can be distinguished, and their implications for eventual useful recovery. Chapter 10 reviews the topic of brain death and the standards for examination of a patient that are required to make the determination of brain death. The final chapter 11 is by J.J. Fins, a medical ethicist who was invited by the other authors to write an essay on the ethics of diagnosis and treatment of patients who, by definition, have no way to approve of or communicate about their wishes. While providing detailed background for neurological and neurosurgical specialists, the practical nature of the material in this book has found its greatest use among Internists, Emergency Medicine, and Intensive Care specialists, who deal with comatose patients frequently, but who may not have had extensive neurological training.
