These assays have also been advocated for use in patients with subclinical Graves' hyperthyroidism or patients with unilateral ophthalmopathy.
Includes: Thyroid-Stimulating Immunoglobulin (TSI)
Patient Instructions:
While there are a number of Thyroid tests available, each one of them is used to determine how well the thyroid gland is operating in a patient. The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland positioned in front of an individual's trachea (windpipe) and below the larynx (voice box) which makes hormones used by the body to regulate how it uses energy. The gland utilizes iodine taken from food to produce two hormones: T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine), and stores these hormones for release into the body as needed. These hormones play a tremendous role in the development of the brain from birth to 3 years of age, and also help a person grow and develop normally through their childhood. They also contribute to health in adults by regulating the way a person's body uses energy, where over- and underproduction of the hormone can cause serious health issues in an individual.
Thyroid tests can be performed on men and women; however, women are often the most susceptible to health issues relating to thyroid dysfunction. A Thyroid test is designed to find out whether or not a thyroid gland is working properly, as an underactive thyroid gland can cause hypothyroidism, while an overactive thyroid gland can cause hyperthyroidism.
Hypothyroidism's symptoms include weight gain, fatigue, dry skin, constipation, frequent menstrual periods in women, and a feeling of being too cold. Hyperthyroidism's symptoms include weight loss, rapid heart rate, diarrhea, irregular or absent menstrual periods in women, and a feeling of being too hot. For those already receiving, or having received, various treatments for thyroid issues, a Thyroid test is also utilized to determine how well the treatment is working. Newborns also receive Thyroid tests to determine if their thyroid function is normal in order to avoid growth and developmental issues which may result from abnormal levels of the hormone.
Thyroid tests begin with a blood sample being drawn from a patient in order for it to be analyzed by a lab. Though ranges can vary from lab to lab, most physicians use a common reference range when referring to the results of a Thyroid test. After receiving your results, speak with your doctor about where your thyroid levels are located in this range. Sometimes levels that appear to be outside those considered normal fall within the normal range for you as an individual and the lab which prepared the results. For more detailed information on your thyroid, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism, read the information below.
Hyperthyroidism is overactivity of the thyroid gland. This means the gland makes too much thyroid hormone. Too much hormone speeds up chemical reactions in the body. This causes mental and physical changes.
The thyroid gland is a small gland at the lower front of the neck. This gland takes iodine from the food you eat to make hormones called thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The hormones control your metabolism (the process of turning the food you eat into energy). The thyroid gland is critical for maintaining body temperature and controlling heart rate, appetite, and digestive tract function.
The most common form of hyperthyroidism is called Graves' disease. It occurs more in women than men, especially women in the childbearing years between 20 and 40.
Possible causes are:
Some thyroid gland problems may be inherited.
Symptoms include:
Your health care provider will ask about your symptoms and examine you. You will have blood tests. These tests measure hormone levels and check thyroid gland function. Additional tests may be done to check the thyroid gland:
Eye problems related to thyroid disease may require specific tests such as a CT scan or an ultrasound to check the muscles that move the eye.
The options for treatment are medicine, radiation, or surgery. These treatments lower the amount of thyroid hormone in your body.
Antithyroid drugs reduce the amount of thyroid hormone made by the gland. They usually control hyperthyroidism in several weeks. Propylthiouracil (PTU), Propranolol, and Methimazole (Tapazole) are 3 commonly used drugs. You may need to keep taking these drugs for a year or longer.
A pill containing radioactive iodine is commonly used to treat some types of hyperthyroidism, especially if you have had hyperthyroidism more than once. The radiation is concentrated in the thyroid gland and destroys the cells that are making too much hormone. The main risk of this treatment is that your thyroid levels will become too low. A low level of thyroid hormone can be dangerous if it is not recognized. Your health care provider will watch your thyroid levels after this treatment. Low levels are easily treated with thyroid hormone medicine.
Surgery can be done to remove part or all of the overactive thyroid gland or to remove just a growth (tumor) in the gland. Surgery cures the disease 90% of the time. However, surgery has certain risks. The most common risk is that you will have low thyroid hormone levels after the surgery. You will then most likely need to take thyroid hormone medicine the rest of your life. Nerve damage is an uncommon risk of surgery. When it occurs, the nerve that is damaged is usually the one that goes to the voice box. The nerve damage may cause a soft or raspy voice.
Not everyone with thyroid disease has eye problems. Eye drops to keep the eyes moist are often necessary because the eyes dry out easily. Sometimes steroid medicine is used to treat the eye problems related to
thyroid disease. Surgery may be needed to treat eye muscle problems and eyelid problems, as well as crowding of the eye socket from swelling.
The effects of hyperthyroidism usually last as long as thyroid hormone levels are too high. Sometimes the disease improves without treatment. However, it can cause heart failure and death if it is not treated.
Eye problems related to hyperthyroidism may continue even after the thyroid problem is treated.
There is no known way to prevent this condition.
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Too little hormone slows down chemical reactions in the body. This slowdown causes mental and physical changes.
The thyroid gland is located at the lower front of the neck. This gland takes iodine from the food you eat to make hormones called thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The hormones control your metabolism (the process of turning the food you eat into energy). The thyroid gland is critical for maintaining body temperature and controlling heart rate, appetite, and digestive tract function. Too little hormone may cause you to gain weight. Also, your heartbeat slows down and your body temperature gets lower. Food moves through your intestines more slowly and your muscles contract more slowly.
Causes of hypothyroidism include:
People who have had x-ray treatment for cancers of the head and neck may develop hypothyroidism if their thyroid was exposed to radiation during the cancer treatment.
Anyone can have hypothyroidism, but it happens most often in women over age 40. Some thyroid problems are inherited.
The gradual slowing of your body's processes can take months or even years, making it hard for you to recognize the disease.
Symptoms of hypothyroidism include:
A condition that develops after several years of untreated hypothyroidism is called myxedema. Myxedema can cause you to become cold, slow to talk and move, and possibly drowsy. You might even fall into a coma.
Your health care provider will ask about your symptoms and examine you. If your provider thinks that you may have hypothyroidism, you will have blood tests. The tests will measure the levels of thyroid hormone and your pituitary's thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH causes your thyroid gland to make thyroid hormone.
Your health care provider will prescribe synthetic thyroid hormone medicine. You will most likely need to take the medicine every day for the rest of your life.
Most people need only small doses to replace their gland's normal output. After starting treatment, your health care provider will repeat the blood tests to be sure you are taking enough thyroid hormone. It may take several weeks to find the right dosage for you.
If you have coronary artery disease or are at risk for it, your provider will prescribe a smaller dose of hormone tablets at first. Replacing thyroid hormone too quickly can worsen coronary artery disease and, in some cases, can prompt a heart attack. Women prone to osteoporosis may have greater bone loss if they take too much thyroid hormone. For this reason your thyroid hormone blood level will be checked periodically for the rest of your life to make sure it is in the correct, normal range.
Usually hypothyroidism improves within a week after hormone therapy is begun. All symptoms go away within a few weeks. In most cases, however, you must continue this treatment for the rest of your life.
Mild hypothyroidism may cause no symptoms. If the disease progresses, however, it can become disabling over a long time if it is not treated. Untreated hypothyroidism may cause the following problems:
If the cause of hypothyroidism is thyroiditis and it is not treated, your thyroid gland may swell. This swelling, called a goiter, may cause a big bulge in your neck.
Many people with hypothyroidism, especially older adults, don't seek medical treatment because they don't know they have a problem. They may accept their symptoms of fatigue, muscle weakness, dry skin, depression, feeling cold, and constipation as signs of aging. If you notice some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism, see your health care provider.
When you have hypothyroidism, be sure to:
Except in the case when it is caused by a lack of iodine in the diet, hypothyroidism cannot be prevented.
Thyroxine (T4) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. A test of the amount of T4 in the blood is a way to see how well the thyroid gland is working.
The thyroid gland is located at the lower front of the neck. Its main job is to make T4 and release it into the bloodstream. T4 circulates throughout the body, affecting all your organs. T4 regulates metabolism, like a thermostat regulates a furnace or air conditioner. The amount of T4 produced and released by the thyroid gland is controlled by the pituitary gland, which is located in the brain.
The test for T4 is one of several tests that can be done to check the functioning of the thyroid gland.
This test can show if your thyroid gland is producing too much or too little thyroid hormone. If you are taking thyroid hormone to make up for what your body does not produce, this test can help your health care provider know if you are taking the right amount of thyroid hormone.
A small amount of blood is taken from your arm with a needle. The blood is collected in tubes and sent to a lab.
Having this test will take just a few minutes of your time. There is no risk of getting AIDS, hepatitis, or any other blood-borne disease from this test.
Ask your health care provider when and how you will get the result of your test.
Your blood level of T4 may be higher than normal if:
Your blood level of thyroxine may be lower than normal because:
Other factors can affect the level of thyroxine in your blood. For instance:
Because of the many factors that can affect T4 levels, other thyroid function tests (such as a test measuring thyroid stimulating hormone, or TSH) are usually done in addition to or instead of the thyroxine test.
Test results are only one part of a larger picture that takes into account your medical history and current health. Sometimes a test needs to be repeated to check the first result. Talk to your health care provider about the result and ask questions.
If your test result is not normal, ask your health care provider:

Watt Vandiver was a young boy born in Belgium. His parents were young and although they knew little about the New World, they were awed by the stories of the riches it had to offer. It wasnt long before they had the desire to see this New World and make a new life there with their young son. The trip was uneventful and upon arriving in a port in the Louisiana territory, the family joined a group of travelers and made their way to the hill country of Texas.
The land was abundant and Watts fathers herding and farming skills helped them establish a thriving farm. The work was hard but young Watt was happy to follow in his fathers footsteps. They traveled to the local township of Jarrell to trade their wares with others in the area and it was not long before Watt met the woman of his dreams. She was fair and beautiful and lived alone on a nearby farm. As their relationship progressed, Watt soon found himself stealing away to spend the night in his fair lovers arms. He lived a life of bliss. Each time he asked his fair lover to become his forever, she would silence him and make love to him once again. As the time passed and fall approached, Watt decided to make her his wife and with a heart filled with love and joy, he rode out to her farm. It had been more than a week since she had last sent for him and assured that he would be welcomed as usual, he was very confident she would greet him with open arms.
As he approached his fair lovers house, he noted that there was a horse in the corral. Perhaps she had visitors for supper. As he knocked on her door a young man appeared and asked what his business was there. He replied he wished to speak to his fair lover. The young man became irate and asked what Watts business was with his wife. Watt was immediately stricken with shock and anger. How could he have been such a fool and been deceived into having another mans wife. He quietly replied that he wished to say good-bye and silently turned and walked away.
He mounted his horse and headed for the limestone lined hills his grief all consuming. How would he live without her? The answer was simple, he would not! As he rode, night came upon him and he silently dismounted and shooed his horse away. He sat down below a lone oak tree and wept his revolver in his hand. He was soon to take his life.
He suddenly felt the touch of a soft hand on his shoulder and turned to see the face of a lovely woman with sad eyes. Why are you so sad son?, asked the woman. Watt could not even form a reply his pain was so great. I can take away the pain that you feel and make you whole again, do you wish this? she asked of him. He could only look at her and nod. She extended her hand to him and he allowed her to ease his pain and make him immortal.
The years began to pass and the pain subsided. Watt was immortal but his heart was lonely and he searched for someone to fill the chasm in his soul. He was assured that even immortals had the capacity to love and in time he would find the one who was his true soul mate. It was on a cold January day that he decided to integrate with the local townsfolk of Belton. As he walked through the market he felt a keen sense of need something he could not understand or fathom. It was then that he felt her presence. As he turned and looked in her direction, he saw her there and immediately knew that this woman was his true mate. As he approached her, he could see in her eyes that she felt the same.
Watt had found his mate for life and Gracie (The Storms Grace) became his forever. While fate may have had a hand in changing Watts life, Gracie calls it their destiny.

This is our Vampyre and so you must pay your respects and leave a small offering for his protection on your quest. Note the inscription on his marker Our darling was wreaked here, but is happy over there, where there are no murderess's or home breakers. Facing Watt (12oclock) turn to 7 oclock and walk 68 steps to a marker that has the phrase She is now walking on the golden strand by the side of the River of Life. (Afton A. Seymour). Facing Afton (12 oclock) turn to 7 oclock and walk to an angel who is feeding baby raccoons. Continue past this angel and continue until you find 1LT Herbert V. Hillery. At his feet you will see a pile of white rocks. Here you will find the box.

A revised management deal for the Milwaukee Art Museum and the War Memorial Board was unveiled Tuesday, in which each entity will control its own space at the iconic War Memorial Center.

Many startup bosses are starting to exhibit signs of this behavior, keeping close tabs on all of their employees. It makes sense – for an entrepreneur, the company is like his or her baby. However, if a worker feels like he or she is under the microscope, performance and confidence could tank, adversely affecting the business.
As such, some leaders need to learn how to let go a little bit. Small Business Trends recommended adopting a MBWA strategy – management by walking around. The source found, after speaking with members of the Young Entrepreneur Council, that there's a difference between micromanaging and just checking in. Swing by employees' desks to check in every so often not only helps leaders control performance, but lets workers learn from mistakes and grow, the source said.
"I have used MBWA, and I've found that it really helps to strength one-on-one relationships with the people with whom I work," one business owner told Small Business Trends.
Another way to give workers more freedom is to use a virtual phone system, allowing workers to speak directly with consumers.
When a caller needs assistance, they can use the menu options read by an auto attendant to connect directly to a representative they've been helped by before. This can not only strengthen patron relationships, but help take some of the responsibility off the owner.

area rug in my daughters bedroom
Loved the design, and it looks better in person that as depicted on the website. It really resists stains, and looks similar in quality to rugs I have paid 2 - 3 x as much money for.
My daughter just loves the bright colors in this rug. We got the accent size which is a bit different than the larger rug that is pictured but the colors are true, just fewer fireflies on it. Dirt easily vacuums or shakes out and it is nice and thick; great for her to step out onto in the morning.
My teenage daughter just loved this rug for beside her bed. Colors are beautiful just like pictured and it flattened out really well after being folded up in a box for several weeks until Christmas morning. Not sure about cleaning, etc. as we've been using it only just over a month, but it appears to be very well-crafted and I imagine will be easy to spot-clean

Soundarya Rajinikanth's Interview On Kochadaiiyaan
Soundarya R. Ashwin, daughter of Indian cinestar Rajinikanth, has pulled off many firsts with her directorial debut Kochadaiiyaan, touted as the country's first 'photo-realistic performance capture' entertainer. But pulling it off wasn't a bed of roses for the young woman, who dealt with the lack of technical expertise and worked around a "miniscule" budget to create it.
With a passion for animation, the well-informed 29-year-old is hopeful that her movie will break myths about the genre, and that it will set the stage for the "abundant talent" in the country to learn the technical innovations which are globally taking filmmaking to another level.
In an exclusive tete-a-tete with IANS in the capital, where she was present to receive the Technical Innovation In Film honour at the NDTV Indian Of The Year awards, Soundarya spoke of Kochadaiiyaan, the challenges faced by her and the prospects of animation films in the country.
Excerpts from Soundarya's interview:
Q. How should the layman understand 'photo-realistic performance capture'?
Performance capture is a technology where we capture the performance of the actors and we attach it to a virtual image of the characters we create. It's a very technical word, but it is to highlight the fact that it is a realistic film on the lines of Werewolf and Avatar, and not on the lines of The Polar Express or Tintin, which are on the cartoon side. Continue Soundarya Rajinikanth's Interview On Kochadaiiyaan in the slideshow.

I remember those mid-80's commercials where the C-64 was playing Bach's Inventio #13. Not only did that prompt me to get a C-64, it also first introduced me to Bach's music. As a teenager I eventually learned how to play Inv#13 on a synthesizer.

Topic: Plant Identification, Edible Plants, Poisonous Plants
Title: Identity of plant that looks like green onions
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I have what looks like green onions growing in my lawn. They have small white flowers. Are they edible?
There are several possibilities for this plant:
There are 3 varieties of Allium canadense (Meadow garlic) that occur in Travis County.
The other onion-like native plants occurring in Travis County are:
Allium drummondii (Drummond's onion)
All of the species of Allium occurring in Travis County are edible. Here is an article, Wild Onion, from Texas Beyond History that gives the historical uses by native peoples in Texas.
Nothoscordum bivalve (Crow poison) looks very much like the Allium species. However, you can tell them apart by smelling them. The Allium species smell like onions or garlic—the crow poison smells musky. Also, crow poison has cream-colored flowers and the Allium has white, pink or lavender colored flowers. Is crow poison really a toxic plant? We don't know for sure. For more information about the toxicity of crow poison, please read the answer to that question from a couple of year's ago. Given the uncertainty about whether or not it is toxic, I recommend that you NOT eat it.
Zigadenus nuttallii (Death camas), however, is definitely considered poisonous. DO NOT EAT ANY PART OF IT! Here are links to a couple of toxic plant databases with more information:
Poisonous Plants of North Carolina says that Zigadenus spp. are "highly toxic, may be fatal if eaten!"

Gordon W. Gahan left Columbia University in 1962 to devote his life to photography. Within three years, he became the youngest bureau chief in UPI history, covering the city of Minneapolis. In 1967 he was drafted by the United States Army and volunteered for photo assignments in Vietnam.
Photographs Gahan shot for the Army Digest depicted men at the front lines of war. During his tour, some of his images were sold to Time and Newsweek under assumed names. He received two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart in less than a year.
Gahan began working for the National Geographic Society in 1969. During his years with the Society, he photographed 16 major articles and five books. He received numerous awards for excellence, including Picture of the Year in 1973. And his work graced the cover of National Geographic many times. He was an extremely sensitive photographer who believed in pictures that were revealing but not invasive.
Gordon Gahan died in a helicopter crash in 1983.

Marubeni, RREEF Bid Jointly for Moomba to Adelaide Pipeline
Japan's Marubeni and Marubeni's RREEF Infrastructure unit have teamed up to bid for APA Group Moomba to Adelaide Pipeline System, which is worth up to 500 million Australian dollars (US$520 million), a person familiar with the matter said Tuesday.
Final bids are due in early April for the pipeline, which transports natural gas from the remote Cooper Basin to the South Australian capital of Adelaide, the person said.
UBS analysts have valued the pipeline system at up to A$500 million, while RBC Capital Markets analyst Paul Johnston puts a price tag closer to A$400 million on the asset.
APA agreed to sell the pipeline network to ease competition concerns surrounding its acquisition of Hastings Diversified Utilities Fund, or HDUF, which completed in January. It hired Macquarie Capital to handle the sale.

Court Orders
Argentine Tall Ship Released, Welcomed Home
Argentine naval training ship, 'ARA Libertad' which was detained in Ghana for more than two months has arrived back home. The Libertad had been seized following legal action by an investment company trying to recover money still owed after Argentina's 2002 debt default. Thousands of people lined the shore as it arrived in Mar del Plata, three weeks after a United Nations court ordered its release from Ghana reports BBC News. The lengthy diplomatic row over the Libertad began when the ship was prevented from leaving Ghana on 2 October 2012, after a local court ruled in favour of financial fund NML Capital. Last month, the UN Tribunal for the Law of the Sea ordered Ghana to release the ship, arguing that it had immunity because it was a military vessel, and Libertad sailed shortly afterwards.
