Do I have Thyroid? - The Student Room

Hi guys!
Maybe someone can help me. I've started thinking I have thyroid.
Yep, i've been to a doctor, (two doctors in fact) though I feel I can trust them. I'll tell you why, but first I think I should talk about my symptoms:

My whole body tremors. I think it is called Physiological tremor. And it seems it can be due to hypoglucemia, thyroid, or brain tumor, among other causes.
In my case, tremor is not noticeable by other people at first sigt. But if I need to hold a piece of paper with my hands, you will notice my hands tremble.
And when I put my make-up my fingers and hands tremble.
Or sometimes the things I am grabbing fall down to the floor.Sometimes almost fall and I am able to hold them.
At nights, while at bed, I also feel the tremor, and my heart goes superfast, whole day I would say
What my doctors said:
-My NHS doctor: said it is because of stress. But then months passed and I was still trembling. So, I had a blood test. According to my doctr, the test is Ok. Glucose was a bit low, but ok. And TSH (thyroid) was ok.
-The neurologist: said that I might be overworried or stressed. That I sould go to a psychologist. Coz he thought it could be stress or depression.

BUUUT
I feel happy as always, I feel not stressed. So, I can not avoid thinking the neurologist may be wrong and also NHS. Why?
Coz years ago my mother had surgery because of thyroids. She had had lots of blood tests during ages, and TSH was always ok. Till she started to be unable to breath ok. Then she had an echography and they found a thyroid with tumor.
That is why I don't trust what my doctors told me.
I've started thinking I may have Thyroid.
And I've started thinking that until it gets worse, doctors won't be able to realize that I am ill.
Do doctors need to wait till the last moment? Are they unable to get a correct diagnosis till evidence tells them are ill?!
SO,
What do you think?
Anyone in the same situation?
(SORRY because of such a long and detailed post. By explaining the whole story is the only way I can be understood).

MADRID (AP) ? Tens of thousands of people marched in 56 Spanish cities Sunday to protest punishing austerity cuts they say will only increase unemployment and job insecurity in a country experiencing its second recession in three years and record high unemployment.

Around 20,000 people marched in Madrid behind a banner that said, "They want to ruin the country. We have to stop them." The rally in Spain's capital was supported by 150 organizations.

Protesters chanted slogans against cuts and waved placards reading "youth without jobs, society with no future." That is a reference to the youth unemployment rate, which surpasses 50 percent. Spain's overall jobless rate is nearly 25 percent and social unrest is on the rise.

"They are abusing the lower social classes," 54-year-old teacher Luis Diaz said. "By backing banks, they are torturing the working class and badly affecting public education, health care and pensions when what they should be doing is exactly the opposite."

Trade union leaders said the marches warned the government that tempers were rising and a general strike was brewing.

Workers Commissions union spokesman Ignacio Fernandez Toxo said a likely date for the strike could be as early as Nov. 14.

The government has implemented tough austerity measures over its nine months in office.

Fujifilm X-S1

As part of the X series, the Fujifilm X-S1 ($799.95 direct) is placed among Fuji's top?cameras. The 26x superzoom is as big and heavy as an SLR, but gives you a much longer zoom factor than you'll find in any interchangeable lens camera, and it's got a large rubberized manual zoom ring, a sharp EVF, and an excellent control layout. It delivers better image quality than the similarly designed Fujifilm HS30EXR , especially at higher ISO settings. The 12-megapixel camera earns the same 4-star rating as our Editors' Choice Nikon Coolpix P510 , but despite its design and performance, the high asking price prevents it from earning that award.

Design and Features
At 4.2 by 5.3 by 5.9 inches (HWD) and 2.1 pounds, the XS-1 is as large and heavy as a compact D-SLR. Other superzoom cameras are smaller, including the Canon PowerShot SX40 HS ?it's only 3.6? by 4.8 by 4.2 inches and has a more ambitious 35x zoom lens. If you're used to shooting with an SLR, you'll probably feel a bit more at home with the X-S1?it feels exactly like a smaller D-SLR in the hand, and its lens is operated manually; most superzoom cameras use power zoom lenses that are controlled electronically via a rocker.

With such a large body to work with, it's no surprise that the X-S1's control layout is top-notch. All of the physical controls that you are used to seeing on an SLR?ISO control, EV Compensation, White Balance, AE/AF Lock, Drive Mode, and Flash control?are assigned a button. There's also a Mode Dial, a top-mounted Control Wheel, and two programmable Function buttons. The lens is a 24-624mm f/2.8-5.6 (35mm equivalent) design. It includes a metal hood, intended to maximize contrast and minimize flaring.

The 3-inch, 460k-dot rear LCD is hinged so you can view it from above or below. It's acceptably sharp, although not on the same level as the 921k-dot LCD that's on the back of the Nikon Coolpix P510. Where the X-S1 outshines the competition is its eye-level EVF. The LCD viewfinder has a 1,440k-dot resolution?it's not quite on the same level as the EVF found on Olympus's top-end OM-D E-M5 ?Micro Four Thirds camera, but it's noticeably better than that of the Samsung NX20. Using the eye-level finder rather than the rear LCD makes it possible to hold the camera closer to your body for a steadier shot, which is key when zoomed all the way in.

Performance and Conclusions
The X-S1 isn't a perfect camera, and one area in which it falls short is start-up time. It takes about 3 seconds to start up and shoot a photo, much slower than the 1.6-second mark notched by the Nikon P510. Its shutter lag is an acceptable 0.3-second, and it can fire off a photo every 0.2-second in continuous drive mode. Burst shooting is limited to 10 JPG shots or 6 Raw photos, with a 5.1-second recovery time required for the former and a 7.5-second recovery time required for the latter when using a fast memory card, like the 95MBps Sandisk SDXC card we used with the camera during testing.

We used Imatest to check the sharpness of the X-S1's lens. It scored 1,685 lines per picture height at its widest setting and aperture, which is a bit shy of the 1,800 lines required for a sharp image. This is in line with Fuji's similar HS30EXR, which ekes out 1,704 lines. Where the X-S1 beats the HS30EXR is in terms of image noise?it keeps it below 1.5 percent through ISO 1600, two stops better than the HS30EXR. Image detail is very good at ISO 1600, although for the best quality you'll want to keep the ISO setting at 800 or below.

Video is recorded at 1080p30 or 720p30 quality in QuickTime format. Faster frame rates, including 70fps at 480p, 120fps at 240p, and 200fps at 112p, are supported?but as you can see, the resolution drops off quickly as the frame rate goes higher. The quality of the footage is very good, with sharp details and bright colors. The autofocus system operates during recording, but doesn't pollute the soundtrack with unwanted noise. There is a microphone input on the camera, as well as analog video output, a mini HDMI port, a mini USB port, and a standard hot shoe. Standard SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards are supported.

From an ergonomic perspective, the Fujifilm X-S1 is one of the top superzooms that we've tested. Its control layout is superb, the larger body size actually helps to balance with the long zoom lens, and its EVF is excellent. Its start-up time is a little slow and the lens could be sharper, but support for Raw shooting makes it possible to eke every bit of quality out of images. At close to $800 the X-S1 is prohibitively priced for many buyers, which prevents it from ousting the Nikon Coolpix P510 as our Editors' Choice superzoom camera. If it's within your budget, the X-S1 is a rewarding choice for serious shooters who demand a manual zoom lens.

Are Attention Grabbing Articles Bad for the Gaming Community? | OGR

Trolling is the worst

Though all facets of media do it, video games are at the forefront of?sensationalism?in news articles. Why is this? I don?t know but I think they are valuable when it comes to keeping the gaming community alive. You can read all about it here. Here is a look:

Now what I?m going to say may shock you. I think these are vital to the gaming community. Without lists how would we debate what is the best console to play? If there wasn?t sex stuff online who would we accuse of being perverts? Now imagine a world without trolls?

Sticky paper offers cheap, easy solution for paper-based diagnostics

ScienceDaily (Oct. 2, 2012) ? A current focus in global health research is to make medical tests that are not just cheap, but virtually free. One such strategy is to start with paper -- one of humanity's oldest technologies -- and build a device like a home-based pregnancy test that might work for malaria, diabetes or other diseases.

A University of Washington bioengineer recently developed a way to make regular paper stick to medically interesting molecules. The work produced a chemical trick to make paper-based diagnostics using plain paper, the kind found at office supply stores around the world.

"We wanted to go for the simplest, cheapest starting material, and give it more capability," said Daniel Ratner, a UW assistant professor of bioengineering and lead author of the paper recently published in the American Chemical Society journal Langmuir. "We also wanted to make the system as independent of the end applications as possible, something any researcher could plug into."

Many paper-based diagnostics are made from nitrocellulose, a sticky membrane used in pregnancy tests and by medical researchers to detect proteins, DNA or antibodies in the human immune system.

Ratner hopes to replace that specialized membrane with cheap, ubiquitous paper, and to use it for any type of medical test -- not just the big, biological molecules.

The UW technique uses minimal equipment or know-how. The researchers used a cheap, industrial solvent called divinyl sulfone that can be bought by the gallon and has been used for decades as an adhesive. Ratner's group discovered they could dilute the chemical in water, carefully control the acidity, then pour it into a Ziploc bag and add a stack of paper, shake for a couple of hours, and finally rinse the paper and let it dry.

The dried paper feels smooth to the touch but is sticky to all kinds of chemicals that could be of medical interest: proteins, antibodies and DNA, for example, as well as sugars and the small-molecule drugs used to treat most medical conditions.

"We want to develop something to not just ask a single question but ask many personal health questions," Ratner said. "'Is there protein in the urine? Is this person diabetic? Do they have malaria or influenza?'"

To test their idea, the researchers ran the treated paper through an inkjet printer where the cartridge ink had been replaced with biomolecules, in this case a small sugar called galactose that attaches to human cells. They printed the biomolecules onto the sticky paper in an invisible pattern. Exposing that paper to fluorescent ricin, a poison that sticks to galactose, showed that the poison was present.

Now that they have proven their concept, Ratner said, they hope other groups will use the paper to develop actual diagnostic tests.

Leading proponents of paper-based diagnostics include the UW's Paul Yager, a professor of bioengineering who leads the Microfluidics 2.0 initiative, and George Whitesides, a chemistry professor at Harvard University. Ratner's group is working with a graduate student in Yager's lab to use the paper to print patterns of switchable networks.
