  Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism                                             The thyroid gland is situated at the front of the neck and resembles a butterfly due to its bilobular form. It is one of several glands connected to the endocrine system which is in charge of producing and secreting the thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).  These hormones production is regulated by the pituitary gland, which is located in the brain.

                            Systemic Lupus Erythematosus  Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that is complex and has a relapsing-remitting course. The disease is caused by a disturbed immune regulation that leads to an exaggerated production of auto-antibodies that attack tissue and organs throughout the body. However, even though the disease's aetiology is unknown and the processes underlying its development have not yet been identified, a number of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors can combine to induce SLE development. Both normal variations in several genes and anomalies in a single gene can affect the risk of developing SLE. Hormonal involvement in the development of SLE has been linked to older, female patients who are primarily of reproductive age. This condition may also be brought on by           a number of environmental factors, s...
