| | Diseases of the Uropygial Gland |
| | Most problems with the uropygial gland are related to hypovitaminosis A and most respond well to medical therapy, including the application of moist heat, massage and appropriate therapeutics. | | | New research shows that the bird eye sees light in the ultraviolet range, and the secretion from the uropygial gland may also play a role in the identification of the sex of a bird, and may be involved with individual identification of birds, as well. | | | Another condition of the uropygial gland has been observed by this author, but has not been described in the avian literature. |

| | Opponents of preoperative FNA claim that regardless of the histology of a major salivary gland neoplasm, surgery will be the treatment and knowing the type of neoplasm does not change the surgical approach. | | | This fact alone contradicts the thinking that any salivary gland mass will be managed with surgery and that FNA will not influence patient management (10,11,12,13). | | | Similarly, for the submandibular gland, the incidence of clinically positive nodes is 8%, 5-year survival in patients with a negative neck is 41%, and this drops to 9% when the neck is positive. |

| | Fluoride & the Pineal Gland: Study Published in Caries Research |
| | Pineal, muscle and bone were dissected from 11 aged cadavers and assayed for F using the HMDS-facilitated diffusion, F-ion-specific electrode method. | | | She found that melatonin production (as measured by the concentration of a melatonin metabolite in the urine) was lower in the animals treated with high fluoride levels compared with those treated with low levels. | | | When Luke found out that the pineal gland - a little gland in the center of the brain, responsible for a very large range of regulating activities (it produces serotonin and melatonin) -was also a calcifying tissue, like the teeth and the bones, she hypothesized it would concentrate fluoride to very high levels. |

| | The function of the thyroid gland is controlled by both the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, so thyroid disorders may be due not only to defects in the gland itself, but also to disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary hormonal control system. | | | Thyroid disorders may cause symptoms due to overproduction of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism), underproduction of these hormones (hypothyroidism), or enlargement or distortion of the gland. | | | Idiopathic (of unknown cause) goiter (enlargement of the gland), Graves' disease, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis are the common disorders of thyroid function. |
