Goitre. Artwork comparing a healthy (left) and enlarged (goitre, right) thyroid gland (lower centre, blue). An enlarged thyroid may result from hormonal imbalances, an iodine (mineral) deficiency or autoimmune diseases. This swelling can result in difficulties in either breathing of swallowing. It is treated according to the under- lying cause, these include an improved diet and partial or total removal (thyroidectomy) of the thyroid gland. The thyroid is an endocrine gland that secretes the hormones thyroxine & calcitonin, which regulate energy levels and body metabolism

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a powerful artwork comparing the healthy and enlarged thyroid gland. In this thought-provoking image, we witness the stark contrast between a normal-sized thyroid on the left and an enlarged goitre on the right. The lower centre of the picture highlights the blue-colored thyroid gland, which plays a crucial role in regulating energy levels and body metabolism through hormone secretion. The enlargement of this vital endocrine gland can be attributed to various factors such as hormonal imbalances, iodine deficiency, or autoimmune diseases. Unfortunately, this swelling often leads to difficulties in breathing or swallowing for those affected. However, there is hope for treatment depending on the underlying cause. Options range from improving one's diet to undergoing partial or total removal of the thyroid gland through a procedure known as thyroidectomy. Through this striking illustration, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of our bodies. It serves as a reminder that maintaining good health requires understanding and addressing potential disorders like goitre promptly. Science Photo Library has expertly captured not only medical intricacies but also conveyed an important message about taking care of our well-being by shedding light on conditions that affect countless individuals worldwide.
