A low RAIU indicates the excess thyroid hormone is not a consequence of thyroid gland hyperfunction. This may be seen in painful subacute thyroiditis, painless thyroiditis, struma ovarii, follicular cancer, and factitious ingestion of exogenous thyroid hormone. 

Thyroid suppression therapy of euthyroid goiter (B). The cause of goiter (struma) is usually a dietary deficiency of iodine. Due to an increased TSH action, the thyroid is activated to raise utilization of the little iodine avail-Liillmann, Color Atlas of Pharmacology 2000 Thieme All rights reserved.

The main goal of this chapter is to present the theoretical background of some basic chemometric methods as a tool for the assessment of surface water quality described by numerous chemical and physicochemical parameters. As a case study, long-term monitoring results from the watershed of the Struma River, Bulgaria, are used to illustrate the options offered by multivariate statistical methods such as CA, principal components analysis, principal components regression (models of source apportionment), and Kohonen s SOMs. 

Location of monitoring points on the Struma River (Bulgaria). 

Cluster II This includes mostly sites located on the main tributaries (398, 399, and 403) of the Struma River and has therefore been provisionally named the tributary pattern. Here, the concentrations of chlorides, nitrates, calcium, and ammonium are low, and site... 

The data set treated in this study is a part of the above-mentioned measurements in the Struma River basin. The period of observation in this region was 10 years (1989-98), and the chemical indicators were pH, dissolved oxygen, BOD5, COD, conductivity, acidity, DISS, N-DISS, total hardness, chloride, sulfate, ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, iron, magnesium, and calcium.

Thyroid hormones are used either to replace the failing function of the thyroid gland (spontaneous or drug-induced) or to suppress the endocrine function of abnormal thyroid tissues (especially non-toxic struma or goiter or after thyroidectomy for thyroid neoplasms). Although there are abnormalities of the peripheral metabolism of thyroid hormones in some forms of undernutrition or overnutrition, thyroid drug therapy cannot be considered a safe way of treating obesity.
