بیش از دو میلیارد نفر در سراسر جهان در معرض خطر طیفی از اختلالات به نام "اختلالات کمبود ید" هستند. 1-10٪ از کرتینیسم رنج می برند. 30-5 درصد دچار نوعی آسیب مغزی یا اختلالات عصبی و 30 تا 70 درصد کم کاری تیروئید خواهند بود. علل کمبود ید را می توان از دو دیدگاه ساده و پیچیده تر در نظر گرفت: از شسته شدن ید از خاک که منجر به تولید محصولات با محتوای ید کم می شود تا سوء تغذیه که منجر به اختلال در جذب ید می شود. تنوع غذایی ضعیف و توسعه اقتصادی-اجتماعی ضعیف نیز می تواند منجر به کمبود ید شود. اگرچه تشخیص و درمان کمبودها امکان پذیر است، اما هنوز گفتگوی مداوم در مورد آسیب شناسی مولکولی مفصل هموستاتیس ید، نحوه تأثیر کم کاری تیروئید بر بافت های بدن و تشخیص و درمان کارآمد اختلالات کمبود ید وجود دارد. این کتاب راهنما منبعی از اطلاعات در مورد مسیرها و فرآیندهای مختلف بر اساس کشورها یا بیماری های مختلف ارائه می دهد. از آنجایی که جریان دائمی اطلاعات جدید در مورد ید و اختلالات مربوط به آن وجود دارد، هدف این هندبوک ارائه پایگاهی از اطلاعات علمی است که بر اساس آن می توان دانش بیشتری را به کار برد. ویژگی های کلیدی: *اطلاعات مهمی را در مورد یکی از رایج ترین کمبودهای ریزمغذی در جهان ارائه می دهد، مهمترین پارادایم "تک ماده مغذی-پیامدهای چندگانه" امروزی *شامل اطلاعاتی در مورد بیماری های مرتبط با ید، از جمله بیماری های شایع، قابل پیشگیری و قابل درمان * بینشی از دیدگاه گسترده ای از دیدگاه ها ارائه می دهد - از حمل و نقل درون سلولی تا تأثیر اقتصادی
Over two billion people worldwide are at risk for the spectrum of disorders known as "The Iodine Deficiency Disorders." 1-10% will suffer cretinism; 5-30% will have some sort of brain damage or neurological impairment and 30-70% will be hypothyroid. The causes of iodine deficiencies can be considered from both simplistic and more complex perspectives: From the leaching of iodine from soil resulting in crops with low iodine content to malnutrition resulting in impaired iodine absorption. Poor dietary diversification and impoverished socio-economic development can also lead to iodine deficiencies. Although it is possible to diagnose and treat deficiencies, there is still an ongoing dialogue regarding the detailed molecular pathology of iodine homeostatis, how hypothyroidism impacts the body tissues, and efficient diagnosis and treatment of the Iodine Deficiency Disorders. This Handbook provides a resource of information on the various pathways and processes based on different countries or diseases. Because there is a constant flow of new information on iodine and related disorders, the goal of this Handbook is to provide a base of scientific information upon which additional knowledge can be applied. Key Features: *Provides important information on one of the most common micro-nutrient deficiencies in the world, the most important "single nutrient-multiple consequences" paradigm today *Includes information on iodine-related diseases, including those that are common, preventable and treatable *Provides insight from a broad perspective of viewpoints -- from subcellular transports to economic impact
