Information is provided online interactively, in visual and spoken form, on any internet-connected computer equipped with sound. The focus is on thyroid physiology, from glandular hormone production and secretion basics, to an overview of feedback regulation of thyroid hormone levels by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Key features include information about several thyroid diseases, and an animated "simulator" graphically illustrating some of the consequences of noncompliance (non-adherence).i.e. what happens when a hypothyroid patient Joe does not take his prescribed medication as directed (PATIent adherence Educational iNTeractive Server). |
