Profit-sharing checks for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV union workers are expected to be as much as $4,000, a 45% increase over 2014 after the auto maker turned in a strong financial performance in North America last year. About 40,000 employees, represented by United Auto Workers, will receive the payment on Feb. 19, the company said in a statement.
A TSH test is used to check the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone in the blood. Your TSH level can indicate if your thyroid gland is working properly. While a TSH test is usually used as the initial blood test to detect hypothyroidism, the doctor may need to order additional tests to diagnose hypothyroidism.
TSH is produced by the pituitary gland, a tiny organ located below the brain and behind the sinus cavities. It is part of the body's feedback system to maintain stable amounts of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) in the blood and to help control the rate at which the body uses energy. A TSH test is frequently ordered along with or preceding a free T4 test.
