Hypoparathyroidism Research Paper

147 Words1 Page

Hypoparathyroidism is not only a disorder, but a cure for another calcification deficiency, Basal Ganglia. The Basal Ganglia is grey matter near the base of the cerebral hemispheres, consisting of the corpus striatum (Macpherson 61). There are a lot of people who are being treated for basal ganglia today with hypoparathyroidism. The reason why hypoparathyroidism is a cure for basal ganglia is because it shows up in the hormones that are located in the brain. The basal ganglia makes it possible for a person to release a great amount of insulin throughout the brain area and into the rest of the body. This area is not supposed to release great amounts of insulin, but only a little bit. By treating this calcification deficiency with hypoparathyroidism,

    Cushing’s Syndrome is a disease that involves an excess of the Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland, most likely because of cancerous cells (Helm). This causes an excess of cortisol to be made in the adrenal gland which creates the symptoms known as Cushing’s Syndrome. This can also be caused by a tumor on the adrenal gland which causes an overproduction of cortisol (Helm). Cortisol is a steroid hormone which helps regulate blood sugar as well as aid in the metabolism of protein, fat, and carbohydrates.

    This is a rare disorder that is typically seen in adults only (age range of 20-50). Sara’s case is even rarer as her disease developed from a tumor on the pituitary gland. Sara’s inability to shed weight as she entered into adulthood could very well have stemmed from her disease as this is one of the symptoms. As stated typical onset has the designated age range, however depending on how long she had the tumor the excessive amounts of cortisol that were being released not only triggered her disease but created added stress on her physically as well as emotionally.

    3. The calcium levels in the blood and bones are being controlled and regulated by the parathyroid glands. Parathyroid glands are next to and sometimes inside the thyroid glands. Parathyroid glands are small glands in the endocrine system that control how much calcium is inside our bones, which affects how much calcium is in our blood. Calcium control is important because it lets the normal conduction of electric currents to run in our nerves and is also, the main element that causes our muscles to contract.

    Many people who suffer from a deficiency of thyroid hormone experience the discomfort and dis-ease this produces for years before seeking help. In diagnoses, doctors tend to stick with serum tests to check for the presence of thyroid hormone in the blood. Frequently, this returns an answer that misses the underlying condition. A more accurate test checks for the intracellular activity of calcium, magnesium and potassium.

    INTRODUCTION Thyroid nodules (TNs) are a common disease, which occurs in 4 to 7% of the population[1]. Studies have shown that thyroid nodules are 4 times more common in women than men and the rate of thyroid nodules increases with age[2] .Because the majority of thyroid nodules are asymptomatic, they are not only discovered by physical examination but also incidentally during various imaging procedures such as carotid ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies or 18FDG-PET scanning. TNs are clinically important primarily due to their malignant potential.

    While the hazards of excreting toxic chemicals into our world’s ecosystem through municipal sewer systems are widely known, most people are not aware of the dangers of one silent source: estrogen. After a seven-year effort, lead researcher Karen Kidd and her primary team of biologists found that even trace amounts of estrogen present in these wastewater systems can have disastrous impacts on wild fish populations as it completely diminishes their capacity to reproduce and produce viable offspring. Normally, women excrete miniscule amounts of estrogen whether or not they are taking birth control pills; this small stressor on land has tremendous consequences under water. For years, this unlikely source has been the reason behind the near extinction

I was most intrigued by the idea using “hypnosis during labor to bring a woman into a state of total relaxation where her body’s muscles can function according to the way they are designed” ("Giving Birth Naturally: Natural Childbirth Techniques"). Or similarly, the Lamaze method which uses Psychoprofilaxis; which is a method in which a woman utilizes distractions during her contractions to blur the feelings of pain and discomfort.
