The thyroid gland, which is located at the base of the neck, is in charge of releasing hormones into the bloodstream. This gland's malfunction can result in a variety of symptoms and complications. The highly experienced specialists at our clinic help diagnose and treat patients with thyroid disorders. Thyroid disease occurs when the thyroid gland produces either too much or too little hormones. Thyroid diseases include hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroiditis, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. We provide comprehensive, seamless, coordinated, and patient-centered care by keeping patients at the center of our program. From the initial evaluation to treatment and meticulous follow-up monitoring, we use a team approach to coordinate all aspects of patient care. Look no further and schedule a thyroid examination if you are facing any fertility issues, weight issues, or are seeing any recent bodily changes such as excessive sweating, hand tremors, or sleep problems.
Thyroid Myth & Fact
Myth: Your symptoms will go away right away if you start taking thyroid medication
Fact: It takes time for thyroid levels to return to normal. Few people take medication for months before they start feeling better.
Myth: People with thyroid conditions should continue to take medication throughout their lives.
Fact: It is dependent on the cause of your condition. Thyroid issues can occur during or after pregnancy for some women. The thyroid may adjust itself once the body's hormones have stabilized. Also, prescriptions may change over time. At times, individuals with an underactive thyroid may require additional thyroid hormones during pregnancy.
Myth: It's okay to skip medicine if your symptoms aren't bothering you.
Fact: The thyroid hormone is in charge of many vital organ functions. Failure to treat even a mild case of thyroid disease can result in serious health issues such as heart disease, weak bones (osteoporosis), and/or inability to have children (infertility).
Myth: I can stop taking my medications once I feel better and my lab results are normal.
Fact: Regardless of how well you feel, it is critical that you continue to take your medications on a regular basis. Leave the decision to change or discontinue medication to an endocrinologist.
Myth: All thyroid nodules or lumps are cancerous.
Fact: This is not correct. In fact, only about 10% of thyroid nodules are cancerous. Several diagnostic procedures can be used to determine whether your nodule or lump is one of the rare cancerous lumps. Nodules that form in thyroid glands that are functioning normally are less likely to be cancerous than those that form in hyperthyroid patients. Radiation exposure, combined with advanced age, may increase the likelihood of a thyroid lump is cancerous. If thyroid nodules are not cancerous or interfering with your daily life, most doctors will leave them alone and reevaluate them every 6-12 months.
Myth: I must follow a special diet because of my thyroid condition

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

The thyroid is one of the most important glands of your body. It’s been called “the master gland” the “manager” gland and “the brains” of your body’s gland system…it’s kind of like New York to the rest of the country. It is very influential…but you may not even know where it is or what it does.
The thyroid is a 2-inch-long, butterfly-shaped gland weighing less than 1 ounce. Located in the front of the neck below the larynx, or voice box, it has two lobes, one on each side of the windpipe
T3 is 5 times more active than T4T4 can be converted into T3 reverseT2 increases the metabolic rate of your muscles and fat tissues
Hashimoto’s is the most common cause of thyroid disease. According to the World Health Organization 72% of the world population is iodine deficient. It has been noticed in people who swim in indoor pools have an increased incidence in hypothyroidism due to the cholrine replacing iodine.
More common in women than men. Most frequently diagnosed between the ages of 30-40
Hyperthyroidism can be life threatening and Must Always be treated by a physicianDietary includes cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale and brussel sproutsLeafy green vegetables, peaches, pears and soybeans
