Thyroid - Medical treatment.
Levothyroxine is a stereoisomer of thyroxine which is degraded much slower and can be administered once daily in patients with hypothyroidism.
Graves' disease may be treated with the thioamide drugs propylthiouracil, carbimazole or methimazole, or rarely with Lugol's solution. Hyperthyroidism as well as thyroid tumors may be treated with radioactive iodine.

| | | | | | trachea: Encyclopedia II - Pulmonary alveolus - Matching air supply and blood supply in alveoli For efficient gas exchange, the ratio of alveolar ventilation and capillary perfusion should be matched for each lung subunit. Ventilation of a subunit can be lowered by obstruction with fluid, particulates, mucous or tumors. Perfusion can be lowered by pulmonary embolism.
Homeostatic responses in the lungs minimize the mismatching of ventilation and blood flow. For example, alveolar epithelia secrete vasodilating substances in response to normal levels of oxygen.

| | | | | trachea: Encyclopedia II - Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - Epidemiology As many as 20,000 Americans have ALS, and an estimated 5,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with the disease each year. ALS is one of the most common neuromuscular diseases worldwide, and people of all races and ethnic backgrounds are affected. ALS most commonly strikes people between 40 and 60 years of age, but younger and older people also can develop the disease. Men are affected more often than women.
In 90 to 95 percent of all ALS cases, the disease occurs apparently at random with no clearly associated risk factors. Patients do not have a family history of the disease, and their family members ...

| | | | | trachea: Encyclopedia II - Bird - Other anatomy Birds possess a ventriculus, or gizzard, that is composed of four muscular bands that act to rotate and crush food by shifting the food from one area to the next within the gizzard. Depending on the species, the gizzard may contain small pieces of grit or stone that the bird has swallowed to aid in the grinding process of digestion. For birds in captivity, only certain species of birds require grit in their diet for digestion. The use of gizzard stones is a similarity between birds and dinosaurs, which left gizzard stones called gastroliths as trace fossils. Birds also have skeletons possessing unique char ...

| | | | | trachea: Encyclopedia II - Bird - Birds and humans Birds are an important food source for humans. The most commonly eaten species is the domestic chicken and its eggs, although geese, pheasants, turkeys, and ducks are also widely eaten. Other birds that have been utilized for food include emus, ostriches, pigeons, grouse, quails, doves, woodcocks, songbirds, and others, including small passerines such as finches.
At one time swans and flamingos were delicacies of the rich and powerful, al ...

| | | | | | trachea: Encyclopedia II - Bird - Reproduction Although most male birds have no external sex organs, the male does have two testes which become hundreds of times larger during the breeding season to produce sperm. The female's ovaries also become larger, although only the left ovary actually functions.
In the males of species without a phallus (see below), sperm is stored within the proctodeum compartment within the cloaca prior to copulation. During copulation, the female moves her tail to the side and the male either mounts the female from behind or moves very close to her. He m ...

| | | | | | trachea: Encyclopedia II - Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - Diagnosis No one test can provide a definitive diagnosis of ALS, although the presence of upper and lower motor neuron signs in a single limb is strongly suggestive. Instead, the diagnosis of ALS is primarily based on the symptoms and signs the physician observes in the patient and a series of tests to rule out other diseases. Physicians obtain the patient's full medical history and usually conduct a neurologic examination at regular intervals to assess whether symptoms such as muscle weakness, atrophy of muscles, hyp ...

| | | | | | trachea: Encyclopedia II - Bird - High-level taxonomy Birds form a class, whose scientific name is Aves. The founding species of class Aves probably lived in the Jurassic period.
According to the most recent consensus, Class Aves and a sister group, the family Crocodylidae, together form a group of unnamed rank, the Archosauria.
The class of birds separated early into two superorders, the Paleognathae (mostly flightless birds like ostriches), and the wildly div ...

| | | | | trachea: Encyclopedia II - Cardiac arrest - Etiology Coronary heart disease (commonly known as coronary artery disease, or CAD) is the predominant disease process associated with sudden cardiac death in the United States. The incidence of CAD in individuals who suffer sudden cardiac death is between 64 and 90%. Other causes of cardiac arrest include electrocution and near-drowning, as well as other cardiac conditions such as the cardiomyopathies.
In children, cardiac arrest is typically caused by hypoxia from other causes such as near-drowning. With prompt treatment survival rates are high.
Every fatal injury or illness ultimately terminates in cardiac arrest, which i ...
