It seem just like it was yesterday that this happened.


The "Ring of Fire" is like a gigantic, ticking time bomb. When the worst happens, all you can do is ride it out, pick yourself up afterwards, dust off, and rebuild. Doesn't make losing someone in a disaster any easier, though. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683372/8520157.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683372/8520157.page GMT
Right after Fukushima they started heavily monitoring children's thyroids as they didn't want another Chernobyl type scenario. They ended up finding cysts or abnormal growths on the thyroids of almost 50% of the children, Obviously shock and horror was in the air.

But it basically turned out that using modern ultrasound techniques used to screen everyone were picking up normal growths that previously would have gone unnoticed. Lots of Japanese kids ended up getting thyroid ablations or removals, which are then stuck on hormone pills for the rest of their lives.

It really is starting to change up how MD's view thyroid problems in general, and that maybe current views are outdated. I love science for things like that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683372/8520450.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683372/8520450.page GMT
