Question
This condition sometimes accompanies a large nodule formation known as a toxic adenoma. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this condition that can be treated with propyl·thio·uracil or methimazole (“MEH-thim-uh-ZOLE”). This hormonal condition is often manifested in the form of Graves’ disease. Description acceptable.
ANSWER: hyperthyroidism [accept thyrotoxicosis; accept descriptions indicating that too much thyroid hormone is being produced; accept description indicating that the thyroid is being overactive or enlarged; prompt on thyroid disease; prompt on goiter; reject “hypothyroidism”; reject “hyperthyroxinemia”]
[10e] Like other thyroid diseases, hyperthyroidism can be caused by the overconsumption of this element essential to TH (“T-H”) synthesis. Table salt is fortified with this element to prevent goiter.
ANSWER: iodine [or I; accept potassium iodide; accept iodized salt]
[10h] The high iodine amount in am·iodarone, a drug used to treat this condition, causes some patients to develop hyperthyroidism. The medication procainamide (“PROE-kay-nah-MIDE”) treats this condition by interfering with sodium channel function.
ANSWER: cardiac arrhythmia [or cardiac dysrhythmia; accept tachycardia; accept bradycardia; accept atrial fibrillation or afib; accept atrial flutter; accept antiarrhythmic agents; accept descriptions indicating abnormal or irregular heart rhythms]
