Goitre. Artwork comparing a healthy (left) and enlarged
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

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
