Abstract
The paper begins by explaining that the disease occurs when the body produces too much of the thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormones regulate the human body's metabolic rate and therefore, this has an effect upon all bodily processes, including the heart rate, digestion, muscle and bone strength and cholesterol. The paper discusses Graves disease, the most common form of hyperthyroidism and explores how it's more common in women. The author explains how this disease is diagnosed and discusses the treatments available, including potential areas for research. The paper concludes that with further research hopefully more can be discovered about the still-mysterious machinations of the human endocrine system as it relates to the development of hyperthyroidism.

From the Paper
"The thyroid is an organ located at the base of the human throat, involved in hormone regulation. Thyroid hormones regulate the human body's metabolic rate. The metabolism is how the body burns calories to produce energy. As the metabolism is connected to nutrition, thus the thyroid gland and its metabolic influence has an effect upon all bodily processes, including but not limited to heart rate, digestion, muscle and bone strength, and cholesterol. ("Hyperthyroidism: Topic Overview-- What is hyperthyroidism?" WebMD. Last updated 11 Nov 2003) Hyperthyroidism is when the body produces too much thyroid hormone, as opposed to hypothyroidism, when the body does not produce enough of the hormone."

Abstract
Hyperthyroidism is the overproduction of thyroid hormones by an overactive thyroid. This paper discusses the disease by looking at its causes (autoimmune reaction), symptoms (weight loss, heat intolerance, etc.), signs (goiter and bulging eyes) and treatment (diverse, depending on the patient's age and condition).
From the Paper
"However, the classical clinical manifestations of hyperthyroidism may be lacking, and instead anorexia with wasting, atrial fibrillation, or congestive heart failure may be the predominant manifestation of hyperthyroidism (Woeber, 2000). This is almost always the case in young patients with Grave's disease, whereas in elderly patients, toxic nodular goiter is a common cause of hyperthyroidism."

Management of the disease.
From the Paper
"Hyperthyroidism is the overproduction of thyroid hormones by an overactive thyroid (Norris, 1999). The thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck, and produces the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) that regulate the body's metabolic rate by helping to form RNA and increasing oxygen absorption in every cell. Production of these hormones is controlled by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is secreted by the pituitary gland.
Discussion
Hyperthyroidism occurs when thyroid hormone production increases despite the level of TSH. The excessive amount of hormones in the bloodstream increases the body's metabolic rate, and causes both mental and physical symptoms. Other names for..."
