Toxic multinodular goitre Toxic multinodular goitre Toxic multinodular goiter (also known as toxic nodular goiter, or Plummer's disease) is an active multinodular goiter associated with hyperthyroidism. It is a common cause of hyperthyroidism in which there is excess production of thyroid hormones from functionally autonomous thyroid nodules, which do not require stimulation from thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Toxic multinodular goiter is the second most common cause of hyperthyroidism (after Graves' disease) in the developed world, whereas iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in developing-world countries where the population is iodine-deficient. (Decreased iodine leads to decreased thyroid hormone.) However, iodine deficiency
Trace field of a representation algebra formula_12 is then as simple as possible, more precisely: The algebra formula_12 is called the quaternion algebra of formula_4. The quaternion algebra of formula_7 is called the "invariant quaternion algebra" of formula_4, denoted by formula_24. As for trace fields, the former is not the same for all groups in the same commensurability class but the latter is. If formula_4 is an arithmetic Fuchsian group then formula_26 and formula_24 together are a number field and quaternion algebra from which a group commensurable to formula_4 may be derived. The theory for Kleinian groups (discrete subgroups of formula_29) is mostly similar as
