A recent research has provided much insight in to the process of brain development and effects of hormone deficiencies on this process. This research, concluded at the “Karolinska Institutet” revealed that during the stage of early pregnancy, deficiencies of the thyroid hormones could cause “locomotors under-development” in a child. ‘Routine Pregnancy Tests’ there fore must examine this issue in detail, say the researchers.”Hyperthyreosis” is a typical disease found in children who are born with deficiencies of the thyroid hormones. Such children’s are at great risk of ‘locomotors under-development’ and the ‘brain under-development’ if proper treatment at the right time is not given to these children.
Scientists are still exploring in to the exact reasons that are primarily responsible for such impacts of thyroid hormone deficiencies. Scientists are also focusing on to identify the level of attention that is required to be paid to women’s hormone levels when she is pregnant. It is worthwhile to note that all the new born babies in Sweden are necessarily tested for “Hyperthyreosis”. But this is not true with all the women at the same time.
