Hyperthyroidism
,Give this one a try later!
Hyperthyroidism is the second most prevalent endocrine disorder,
following diabetes mellitus
Manifested by a greatly increased metabolic rate
Hyperactivity of the thyroid gland with sustained increase in synthesis and
release of thyroid hormones
May appear after an emotional shock, stress, infection, or pregnancy
A common cause of hyperthyroidism is Graves
Other causes: thyroiditis and excessive ingestion of thyroid hormone
Gerontological Considerations of the thyroid
Give this one a try later!
Atrophy, decreased uptake of iodine > cold intolerance, decreased
appetite, and decreased vital signs
What hormones are produced by the Islet Cells of Pancreas?
Give this one a try later!
Insulin, Glucagon, Somatostatin
ORIF (open reduction internal fixation)

, surgical opening over a fracture site and internally fixing the fracture with
plates, screws, or pins
Addisonian Crisis
Give this one a try later!
An acute life-threatening event that develops with disease progression.
Acute hypotension is characterized by cyanosis and the classic signs of
circulatory shock: pallor, apprehension, rapid and weak pulse, rapid
respirations, and low blood pressure.
In addition, the patient may complain of headache, nausea, abdominal pain,
and diarrhea and may show signs of confusion and restlessness.
Even slight overexertion, exposure to cold, acute infection, or a decrease in
salt intake may lead to circulatory collapse, shock, and death if untreated.
