Examples of Graves' disease in the following topics:
-
- Associated disorders: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, Erythroblastosis, fetalis, Goodpasture's syndrome, Membranous nephropathy, Graves' disease, Myasthenia Gravis.
- Associated disorders: Contact dermatitis, Mantoux test, Chronic transplant rejection, Multiple sclerosis, T-cells VAutoimmune disease receptor mediated, Graves' disease,Myasthenia Gravis.
-
- It is most commonly caused by the development of Graves' disease, an autoimmune disease in which antibodies are produced that stimulate the thyroid to secrete excessive quantities of thyroid hormones.
- In the case of Graves' disease, beta blockers are used to decrease symptoms of hyperthyroidism and anti-thyroid drugs are used to decrease the production of thyroid hormones.
- Hashimoto's disease is more common in females than males, usually appearing after the age of 30, and tends to run in families.
- Also more common in individuals with Hashimoto's thyroiditis are type 1 diabetes and celiac disease.
- The etiology is not always known, but can sometimes be attributed to autoimmunity, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' disease.
-
- Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease where the thyroid is overactive, producing an excessive amount of thyroid hormones (a serious metabolic imbalance known as hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis).
- Autoimmune diseases resemble type II-IV hypersensitivity reactions.
-
- Any disease that results from such an aberrant immune response is termed an autoimmune disease.
- Prominent examples include Coeliac disease, diabetes mellitus type 1 (IDDM), Sarcoidosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren's syndrome, Churg-Strauss Syndrome, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Addison's Disease, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and allergies.
- Autoimmune diseases are very often treated with steroids.
- Three main sets of genes are suspected in many autoimmune diseases.
- A person's sex also seems to have some role in the development of autoimmunity, classifying most autoimmune diseases as sex-related diseases.

- According to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA), autoimmune diseases that develop in men tend to be more severe.
-
- The source of the plague may have been identified recently when researchers from the University of Athens were able to use DNA from teeth recovered from a mass grave.
- The distribution of a particular disease is dynamic.
- Approximately 75 percent of recently-emerging infectious diseases affecting humans are zoonotic diseases.
- Some of the currently-emerging diseases are not actually new, but are diseases that were catastrophic in the past.
- Carriers of the disease can be asymptomatic.
-
- Some even illustrate physical ailments, disease, or facial paralysis.
- While their function is largely unknown, theories include use as ancestor portrayal, grave markers, finials for roofs of buildings (suggested by their dome-shaped bases), or charms to protect against crop failure, infertility, or illness.
- Nok sculptures may have been used as grave markers, charms or portrayals of ancestors.
-
- Grave Circle A is a set of graves from the sixteenth century BCE located at Mycenae.
- The graves were often marked by a mound of earth above them and grave stele.
- Grave Circle A, Grave Shaft IV, Mycenae, Greece.
- Grave Circle A, Grave shaft V, Mycenae, Greece.
- Grave Circle A, Grave Shaft IV, Mycenae, Greece.
-
- Stelae as grave markers became popular around 430 BCE, coinciding with the beginning of the Peloponnesian War.
- The Grave Stele of Hegeso from the Kerameikos Cemetery outside of Athens depicts a seated woman.
- The Grave Stele of an Athlete (early fourth century BCE) from the island of Delos depicts a male athlete receiving lekythos of oil from a male youth.
- While the above stelae commemorate adults, grave stelae also commemorated those who died as children.
- Such images of children and companion animals are common subject matter on grave stelae of the Classical era.
-
- Loss of habitat, disease, and over-hunting steadily reduced the herds through the 19th century, bringing the species to the point of near extinction.
