     Extractions: Back Next Search Headlines 08 September 2005 Levofloxacin prophylaxis possibly beneficial in cancer chemotherapy Two large, randomised, placebo-controlled trials indicate that prophylaxis with levofloxacin may reduce the number of infections in patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, but still leave a number of important questions to be answered. The trials have superficial similarities in that both are large, well-designed, studied a fluoroquinolone (levofloxacin) in patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, and had a similar primary end-point - febrile episodes attributed to infection. There were, however, significant differences in the two patient populations and in the drug regimen used. An accompanying editorial discusses the trials and their implications. The author notes that they add considerably to the evidence available in this area and discusses the differences between them. While the studies do show benefits, they also show harms including increased adverse effects and the promotion of bacterial resistance. If prophylactic antibacterial treatment is adopted, it will be essential to define those patients most at risk and therefore with the potential for greatest benefit, and it must be combined with rigorous infection-control practice and monitoring.

We investigated a disorder of the dermal elastic component as the mechanism for the decreased elasticity of skin in myxedema. Skin biopsy specimens were obtained from patients with thyroid diseases and normal subjects matched for age, sex, and biopsy location.

     Extractions: Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland fails to function adequately, resulting in reduced levels of thyroid hormone in the body. Cretinism is a type of hypothyroidism that occurs at birth and results in stunted physical growth and mental development. Severe hypothyroidism is called myxedema. lithium and phenylbutazone, may also induce hypothyroidism. Extreme iodine deficiency, which is rare in the United States, is another possible cause. Failure of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus to stimulate the thyroid gland properly can cause a condition known as secondary hypothyroidism. Some people with goiter (an enlargement of the thyroid gland) also have hypothyroidism. Goiter can be caused by an iodine deficiency, by eating foods that contain goitrogens (goiter-causing substances), or by other disorders that interfere with thyroid hormone production. In many cases the cause of goiter cannot be determined. While natural therapies may help to some extent, thyroid hormone replacement is necessary for most people with hypothyroidism.

     Extractions: Role of Thyrogen in Your Follow-up As discussed briefly in the Testing section, not all patients need to stop taking thyroid hormones for thyroglobulin (Tg) testing or a whole body scan (WBS) - instead, your doctor may prescribe Thyrogen . This section takes a more detailed look at hypothyroidism, the condition caused by stopping your thyroid medication. Then it explains what Thyrogen is, how it's used, and how it might fit into your life. For more information, please read the full product information. Please see important safety information below. Hypothyroidism If you need to stop taking your thyroid hormone therapy (T3 and/or T4) prior to your routine testing, you will become hypothyroid. Since thyroid hormones affect many of your body's functions, particularly metabolism, hypothyroidism can be a big change to your body's systems. Some people may experience only minor noticeable changes. Some, however, may experience more intrusive, even debilitating, symptoms of hypothyroidism. These can include:

     Extractions: Any health care links located here are NOT to replace a veterinarian visit; please take your cat to a vet immediately at any sign of odd behavior or any symptoms of illness or injury. Call your vet and describe your cat's symptoms with any of your concerns about the cat's well-being. Your veterinarian may discover changes in your cat's health that you have overlooked. It is always better to err on the side of caution. The thyroid gland consists of two lobes located near the larynx (Adam's apple) in the cat's neck along side the windpipe. The thyroid gland combines the amino acid tyrosine and iodine to manufacture the thyroid hormone. The pituitary gland exerts control over the thyroid gland. TSH from the pituitary stimulates the thyroid gland to produce its hormone, thyroxine. Thyroxine is the hormone that controls metabolic and activity levels. The thyroid gland also secretes another hormone, calcitonin, which is necessary for proper calcium metalbolism. In layman terms, the above paragraph simply means the thyroid gland controls the cat's metabolism. The thyroid gland produces the thyroid hormones that are critical to maintaining the cat’s normal metabolic rate. This is the speed at which the body converts nutrient energy into energy fueling the body. If the thyroid gland degenerates or becomes inflamed, it can no longer produce sufficient quantities of hormones. As a result, cells don’t convert the nutritional energy it needs into biologically usable fuel as fast as usual.

     Extractions: Hypothyroidism is a condition that occurs when the thyroid gland produces insufficient amounts of thyroid hormones in the body. The thyroid gland serves as the body’s internal thermostat by secreting two hormones that control the rate at which the body burns calories and expends energy. If the gland does not secrete enough of the hormone, hypothyroidism is the result. Hyperthyroidism is caused by overproduction of these hormones. Hypothyroidism affects approximately 13 million Americans, most of whom are women between the ages of 30 and 50. An estimated one in eight women may develop a thyroid condition at some time in their lives.

108. Pets With Diabetes: Hypothyroidism And Diabetes
     Many dogs are both hypothyroid and diabetic. Special considerations are takenfor treating a diabetic hypothyroid dog.  
     http://www.petdiabetes.org/hypothyroid.htm
     
     Extractions: Hypothyroidism is the most common endocrine disorder in dogs. Dogs diagnosed with hypothyroidism are usually between 4 and 10 years old. Since both hypothyroidism and diabetes is common in older dogs, it is not unusual to have both a diabetic and hypothyroid dog. Hypothyroidism is rare in cats and is usually the result of a thyroidectomy performed to treat hyperthyroidism . The information presented here is for dogs. Less commonly, hypothyroidism can be due to cancer of the thyroid gland. It can also be due to dysfunction of the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland secretes thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) which in turn causes the thyroid to produce thyroid hormone. Other illnesses, glucocorticoids, and malnutrition can also cause decreased TSH levels, which would lead to hypothyroidism.

     Extractions: Question: Dr. Dodds, why should a dog with seizures have a thyroid panel done to test for low thyroid function or hypothyroidism? Answer: Because thyroid dysfunction can precipitate or aggravate existing seizure disorders. The mechanism is unknown, but may relate to the vital role of thyroid hormones in cellular metabolism of the central nervous system. In some cases the seizures are related to thyroid dysfunction and when placed on appropriate thyroid medication the seizures may no longer occur or are reduced in severity or become less frequent. Epil-K9: What are some of the classic symptoms of hypothyroidism? Dr. Dodds: There are more than 50 different symptoms of hypothyroidism. Classical signs include chronic skin disease, hair loss, weight gain, lethargy and slow metabolism, although behavioral changes (aggression, hyperactivity, poor concentration, passivity, phobias, anxiety or neuromuscular events such as seizures), and many other signs of metabolic imbalances also can occur. This condition can mimic other disorders. Epil-K9 How many symptoms would a dog need to have to suspect hypothyroidism and have a thyroid panel done?

     Extractions: Home > Thyroid Disorders The thyroid gland is located in the lower front part of the neck and weighs less than an ounce. For something so small, it can create a lot of havoc when it is not functioning properly. Thyroid disease is more common in women than in men, with the risk increasing as one gets older. Graves Disease is the most common type of hyperthyroidism. Spotlight on Healthy Foods: SALMON Iodine is essential for thyroid function. For this reason, people with underactive thyroid glands are often told to eat salmon and other foods with high iodine levels such as trout and seaweed. On the other end of the spectrum, too much iodine can damage the thyroid, so those with an overactive thyroid gland should watch their iodine intake carefully.

     Extractions: adrenal tumor cancer adrenal thyroid gland high blood pressure hypertension adrenal adrenal adrenal The most common thyroid disorder occurring around or during pregnancy is thyroid hormone deficiency, or hypothyroidism. The details of hypothyroidism are covered on several other pages on our site , so only those factors pertaining to pregnancy are discussed here. Hypothyroidism can cause a variety of changes in a woman's menstrual periods: irregularity, heavy periods, or loss of periods. When hypothyroidism is severe, it can reduce a woman's chances of becoming pregnant. Checking thyroid gland function with a simple blood test is an important part of evaluating a woman who has trouble becoming pregnant. If detected, an underactive thyroid gland can be easily treated with thyroid hormone replacement therapy. If thyroid blood tests are normal, however, treating an infertile woman with thyroid hormones will not help at all, and may cause other problems.
