Goiter
We have previously demonstrated that some cases of endemic and nonendemic simple goiter are associated with a mutation within exon 10 of the thyroglobulin gene. [semanticscholar.org]
Topics covered include the following: thyroid synthesis and physiology; hyperthyroidism; hypothyroidism; thyroid nodules; goiter; differentiated thyroid cancer; subacute, silent, and postpartum thyroiditis; thyroid and pregnancy; thyroid and the elderly [books.google.com]

Heat Intolerance
Thyroid symptoms may include weight loss despite increased appetite and heat intolerance. Thyroid function The recommended daily allowance of iodine for both men and women is 150 mcg, and for pregnant women 175 mcg is needed. [thyroid.com.au]
You may have difficulty in breathing, high blood pressure, nervousness, heat intolerance and chest pain. 3. Hypothyroidism You may gain weight despite your poor diet. You may also be intolerant to cold, constipation and lethargy. [mavcure.com]

Dysphagia
A large goiter may cause dysphagia, dyspnea, tracheal deviation, and cosmetic problems. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Occasionally, the goiter may produce symptoms caused by pressure on anterior neck structures, including the trachea (wheezing, cough, globus hystericus [anterior neck pressure]), the esophagus (dysphagia), and the recurrent laryngeal nerve (hoarseness [emedicine.medscape.com]

These circumstances include presence of dysphagia secondary to compression of esophagus, hoarseness of voice due to involvement of recurrent laryngeal nerve, dyspnea or sensation of choking secondary to encroachment of trachea, or presence of tracheomalacia [ahcmedia.com]

Abstract lodine deficiency is the most relevant etiologic factor in endemic goiter. [liebertpub.com]
The outcome of the etiological modelling is summarized in Table 3. Etiological models that included only environmental factors (CE and E models) provided a very poor fit to the data (P 0.1). [academic.oup.com]
Because the management of goiter depends on the etiology, the detection of thyroid enlargement on physical examination should prompt further evaluation to identify its cause. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]

EPIDEMIOLOGY Since iodine deficiency is the main cause of endemic goiter, the epidemiology of endemic goiter largely depends on the iodine intake of the population. Primitive societies depend on locally produced food. [hormones.gr]
In Brazil, however, the current epidemiological situation is not clear. [4bg.shibboleth.us]

Desiccated thyroid given orally may prevent further growth of adult goiters and may reduce the size of diffuse goiters. A large goiter may cause dysphagia, dyspnea, tracheal deviation, and cosmetic problems. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Abstract The primary role of iodine deficiency in goitrogenesis and the prevention and treatment of endemic goiter by iodine supplementation is firmly established. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This type of goiter is easily preventable. In most developed countries regulations have been put into force by health policy institutions requiring salt, flour or water to be fortified with iodine. [en.wikipedia.org]
