Eastern Local Supt. Steve Ohlinger stated that all students in the district will be on remote learning for Dec. 1-4 (Tuesday-Friday following Thanksgiving break) and Jan. 4-8, 2021 (MondayFriday following Christmas break). While students will not be in the classroom, they will be completing school work on those days. “There was no change to our school calendar, the only change is to go to fully remote learning for those particular weeks. These dates are the weeks that fall directly after the traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Years breaks,” stated Ohlinger. The move is similar to that made by Meigs Local earlier in the week, which extended two weeks of remote learning following Thanksgiving and one week of remote learning following the Christmas/New Years break.

Weber Associated Press The surging coronavirus is taking an increasingly dire toll across the U.S. just as a vaccine appears at hand, with the country now averaging over 1,300 COVID-19 deaths per day — the highest since the calamitous spring in and around New York City. The overall death toll has reached about 253,000, by far the highest in the world. Total conﬁrmed infections have eclipsed more than 11.7 million, after the biggest one-day gain on record Thursday — almost 188,000. And the number of people in the hospital with COVID-19 hit another all-time high at more than 80,000. With health experts deeply afraid Thanksgiving travel and holiday gatherings next week will fuel the spread of the virus, many states and cities are imposing near-lockdowns or other restrictions. California ordered a 10 p.m.-to 5-a.m. curfew starting Saturday, covering 94% of the state’s 40 million residents. The Texas border county of El Paso, where more than 300 people have died from COVID-19 since October, is advertising jobs for morgue workers capable of lifting bodies weighing 175 pounds or more. Ofﬁcials are offering more than $27 an hour for work described as not only physically arduous but “emotionally taxing as well.” The county had already begun paying jail inmates $2 an hour to help move corpses and has ordered at least 10 refrigerated trucks as morgues run out of room. COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. are at their highest level since late May, when the Northeast was emerging from the ﬁrst wave of the crisis. They peaked at about 2,200 a day in late April, when New York City was the epicenter and bodies were being loaded onto refrigerated trucks by forklift. Amid the bleak new statistics, Pﬁzer said Friday it is asking U.S. regulators to allow emergency use of its COVID-19 vaccine, setting in motion a process that could make the ﬁrst, limited shots available as early as next month, with health care workers and other highrisk groups likely to get priority. But it could take months before the vaccine becomes widely available. Pﬁzer has said the vaccine appears 95% effective at preventing the disease. In Texas, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has ruled out another shutdown and singled out El Paso county leaders for not enforcing restrictions already in place. The state’s attorney general, Ken Paxton, likened the county’s chief administrator to a “tyrant” after Paxton won an appeals court ruling blocking local leaders from shutting down gyms and other nonessential businesses. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, also a Republican, failed to persuade leaders of the GOP-controlled legislature to reject a bill that would limit his administration’s power to deal with the crisis. At issue is a Senate bill that would ban the state health department from issuing mandatory quarantine orders enforced against people who are not sick or exposed to disease — such as the order announced by the governor Tuesday setting a 10 p.m. curfew. DeWine said he will veto the bill when it reaches his desk; Republicans in both the House and Senate have enough votes to override the veto if they choose. “This bill is a disaster,” DeWine said Thursday. “This is not a bill that can become law.” In California, the curfew will be in place in 41 of 58 counties. Its impact will depend heavily on voluntary compliance. Sheriffs of some counties said they won’t enforce it. Under the rules, people who are not on essential errands must stay home after 10 p.m. The curfew is less strict than the near-total ban on nonessential business and travel that Gov. Gavin Newsom imposed in March and which he credited with ﬂattening the rate of COVID-19 cases. the state agency that operates Boston’s Logan Airport said it must cut about 25% of its workforce amid a $400 million budget deﬁcit brought on by a steep drop in travel during the pandemic. Massachusetts Port Authority CEO Lisa Wieland said the savings will come from a combination of layoffs, buyouts and furloughs. Logan had 42 million passengers last year. Massport said that this year, the “optimistic” forecast is 22 million and the worst case 13 million. Among other developments: —In Arizona, four Democratic mayors urged Republican Gov. Doug Ducey to impose a statewide requirement for people to wear masks in public. The move came as health ofﬁcials reported more than 4,000 additional COVID-19 cases for the second consecutive day. Ducey’s chief of staff, Daniel Scarpinato, pushed back on the request, saying the mayors are doing little to enforce their own mask ordinances or ensure that existing safety measures put in place by Ducey are being enforced. —In New Mexico, where hospitals face a capacity crunch, the state reopened a vacated former hospital in Albuquerque for use by COVID-19 patients. The state health department said the Gibson Medical Center will serve adults who don’t require acute care but need to be isolated or receive nursing care. —New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is calling a special legislative session next week in the hope of providing new relief to the unemployed and small businesses reeling from the pandemic. The proposed $300 million package includes a weekly $300 supplement for the unemployed. —In Massachusetts, Family Nurse Practitioner Damia Hayman has joined the medical professionals at Pleasant Valley Hospital and is welcoming patients at Pleasant Valley Family Healthcare located at 995 Jackson Pike, Suite 102 in Gallipolis, Ohio. “I believe family medicine is the cornerstone of healthcare. It is a gateway into all other areas of medicine and many patients’ first point of contact for their health and wellness. Through personal experience, I know how important medical providers can be, and I strive to be a helpful and positive presence in patients’ lives,” explains Hayman.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump sought to leverage the power of the Oval Ofﬁce on Friday in an extraordinary attempt to block President-elect Joe Biden’s victory as criticism mounted that his futile efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election could do long-lasting damage to democratic traditions. Trump summoned a delegation of Republican lawmakers from Michigan, including the state’s Senate majority leader and House speaker, in an apparent extension of his efforts to convince judges and lawmakers in the state to set aside Biden’s 154,000-vote margin of victory and grant him the state’s electors. His efforts to override the public’s will extended to other battleground states that Biden carried as well. It all added up to an unprecedented attempt by a sitting president to maintain his grasp on power, or in failure, to delegitimize his opponent’s victory in the eyes of his army of supporters. Rick Hasen, an election law expert and professor who has been meticulously chronicling the 2020 race, wrote that there would be “rioting” in the streets if an effort was made to set aside the vote in Michigan, calling it tantamount to an attempted coup. “We should worry because this is profoundly antidemocratic and is delegitimizing the victory of Joe Biden in a free and fair election,” Hasan wrote on his blog. “It is profoundly depressing we still have to discuss this. But it is extremely unlikely to lead to any different result for president.” The president on Friday again falsely claimed victory, declaring as an aside during a White House announcement on drug pric- Cases March) in an update on Wednesday.

Trump’s White House meeting was coming days after he personally called two local canvass board ofﬁcials who had refused to certify the results in Wayne County, Michigan’s most populous county and one that overwhelmingly favored Biden. The two GOP ofﬁcials eventually agreed to certify the results. But following Trump’s call, they said they had second thoughts. The state board of canvassers is to meet Monday to certify the statewide outcome and it was unclear whether Republican members of that panel would similarly balk. Some Trump allies have expressed hope that state lawmakers could intervene in selecting Republican electors, as the president and his attorneys have pushed baseless allegations of fraud that have been repeatedly rejected in courtrooms across the country. It was with that in mind that Trump invited the Michigan lawmakers. He was also said 19 on Friday, bringing the total to 80 active cases, and 370 total cases (327 conﬁrmed, 42 probable) since April on Friday. None of the new cases are hospitalized. Age ranges for the 370 Meigs County cases, as of Thursday, are as follows: 0-9 — 13 cases (1 new case) 10-19 — 39 cases (2 new cases) 20-29 — 46 cases (2 new cases) 30-39 — 43 cases (2 hospitalizations) 40-49 — 59 cases (1 new case, 1 hospitalization) 50-59 — 46 cases (2 hospitalizations) 60-69 — 42 cases (5 hospitalizations) 70-79 — 39 cases (1 new case, 8 hospitalizations, 3 deaths) 80-89 — 28 cases (1 new case, 6 hospitalizations, 5 deaths) 90-99 — 14 cases (3 hospitalizations, 3 deaths) 100-109 — 1 case (1 hospitalization) There have been a total of 279 recovered cases, a total of 28 hospitalizations and 11 deaths. There have been seven positive antibody tests in Meigs County. Antibody tests check your blood by looking for antibodies, which may tell you if you had a past infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. “The health department has seen an increase in cases since the beginning of November and urges residents to continue following federal, state, and local guidance to prevent the to be considering extending a similar invitation to legislators from Pennsylvania. “The president could be calling Republican legislators and others to the White House to try and squeeze them,” tweeted former Trump national security adviser John Bolton. “Republicans at all levels — state, county, election boards, legislatures — must resist this political pressure.” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters that the meeting with Michigan ofﬁcials was “not an advocacy meeting” and insisted Trump “routinely meets with lawmakers from across the country.” But such meetings are in fact rare, particularly as Trump has maintained a low proﬁle since the election. As he departed Detroit for Washington on Friday morning, state Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey was swarmed by activists bearing signs that read: “Respect the Vote” and “Protect Democracy.” House Speaker Lee Chatﬁeld tweeted Friday afternoon, before the planned meeting with Trump: “No matter the party, when you spread of COVID-19, including practicing social distancing, handwashing and wearing a face covering,” stated the health department in Friday’s update.

I won’t apologize for that.” Trump’s effort to set aside the Michigan vote was sure to fail. Experts on Michigan election law said the state Board of Canvassers’ authority was limited in scope and its primary responsibility was to certify the results. “Their duties are to receive the canvas and certify the canvas, that’s it,” said John Pirich, a former assistant attorney general who teaches at Michigan State University Law School. “They have absolutely no power to investigate allegations, theories or any half-brained kind of arguments that are being thrown around.” The Michigan Legislature would be called on to select electors if Trump succeeded in convincing the board not to certify the results. Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer could seek a court order forcing board members to certify the election and could remove those who refused, said Steve Liedel, another election attorney. They also could face legal liability, he said. FREE COVID-19 TESTING COVID-19 testing for the area has been expanded.

If the RedStorm doesn’t learn to take better care of the basketball, success is going to be hard to come by. Asbury University parlayed 27 Rio Grande turnovers into 30 points and the Eagles pulled away for a 104-87 victory over the RedStorm in the opening game of the Bevo Francis Classic, Thursday night, at an empty Newt Oliver Arena. School ofﬁcials announced earlier in the day that fans were prohibited from attending any of the seven games that comprise the Classic. Asbury, like Rio Grande a member of the River States Conference, improved to 2-2 with a win which did not count toward the league standings. The RedStorm dropped to 0-3 with the loss. Rio Grande - which averaged 27.5 turnovers per game through its ﬁrst two outings - actually shot a better percentage from the ﬁeld than the Eagles (44.0% to 42.7%) and also enjoyed a commanding 57-38 advantage in rebounds, but the high volume of miscues allowed Asbury a 30-7 edge in points off of turnovers. Still, the RedStorm sliced a 13-point deﬁcit to just ﬁve, 78-73, following consecutive three-pointers by sophomore Regan Willingham (Ashville, OH) with 7:03 remaining in the contest. But the Eagles held off the Rio comeback attempt by responding with a 12-4 run of its own over the next three minutes to push the lead back to 13 points, 90-77, after a bucket by Jaclynn Ruble with 4:00 left. Asbury led by no less than nine points the rest of the way and built its biggest lead of the night - 17 points - twice in the ﬁnal 1:12, including the ﬁnal margin of victory. Zaria Napier led the Eagles with a team-best 22 points, seven rebounds, ﬁve assists and three blocked shots. Autumn Herriford led four others in double ﬁgures for Asbury with 14 points. Paige Taylor and Ruble added 13 points and 12 points, respectively, in the winning effort, while Faith Osborne tossed in 10 points. Ruble and Osborne also had ﬁve steals apiece for the Eagles, who totaled 21 steals as a team among the 27 Rio turnovers. Asbury also hit 11 three-pointers as a team and outscored the RedStorm, 23-16, at the free throw line. The Eagles attempted 18 more shots at the charity strip than their hosts. The loss overshadowed a tremendous performance from Rio Grande sophomore Lexi Woods (Waverly, OH), who had a game-high 30 points and a career-high-tying 17 rebounds. Senior Chyna Chambers (Columbus, OH) added 12 points, a game-high nine assists and seven rebounds, while junior Avery Harper (Seaman, See REDSTORM | 10 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Monday, Nov. 23 Girls Basketball Nelsonville-York at Eastern, 6:30 South Gallia at Symmes Valley, 7:30 Tuesday, Nov. 24 Girls Basketball South Gallia at River Valley, 7:30 Friday, Nov. 27 Boys Basketball Gallia Academy at Meigs, 7:30 River Valley at Eastern, 7:15 Bryan Walters | OVP Sports River Valley sophomore Michael Conkle (25) eludes a South Gallia defender during an Oct. 9 football game in Mercerville, Ohio. 2020 All-TVC football teams By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com A total of 19 people from the Ohio Valley Publishing area were chosen to the 2020 AllTri-Valley Conference football teams in both the Ohio and Hocking divisions, as voted on by the coaches within each of the leagues.

Southern was next with four picks in the TVC Hocking with four honorees, while South Gallia also came away with a single choice in the smallschool division. Meigs landed three selections on the TVC Ohio teams, while River Valley came away with a pair of picks in the largeschool division. The Eagles had ﬁve repeat selections in Conner Ridenour, Blake Newland, Steven Fitzgerald, William Oldaker and Jake Barber, while Hunter Sisson, Jayden Evans and Bryce Newland each won all-league honors for the ﬁrst time.

They passed on the chance to draft him. On Sunday, their paths cross again. Wentz has been inconsistent, turnover prone and barely looked like himself for much of this season. Still, he’s got the Eagles (3-51) leading the pathetic NFC East and they won’t be an easy matchup for the Browns (6-3), who just may be a legitimate playoff contender. Rewind to 2016. The Browns were desperate for a franchise quarterback, and their front ofﬁce at the time was not enthralled with Wentz. So they traded the No. 2 overall pick and a fourth-round selection to the Eagles for ﬁve picks, including ﬁrst-rounders in 2016 and 2017. Philly took Wentz, and never looked back. “Heck, yeah, I’d do it all over again,” said Eagles coach Doug Pederson, who has stood by his QB through thick and thin. “He’s the guy we wanted back then, he’s still the guy we want today. And I love everything about Carson Wentz, and he’s a great leader for our team and our city.” Wentz’s stats in 2020 are alarming for a player of his stature. His 12 interceptions lead the NFL. He’s 32nd in completion percentage (58.2). His 73.1 rating is a career worst and he’s been sacked a league-high 35 times. One of the knocks on Wentz is that he holds the ball far too long, waiting to make a play. That’s risky behavior, but at least Teams this week Wentz won’t have to worry about Browns defensive star and league sacks leader Myles Garrett, who will miss the game after testing positive for COVID-19. Losing Garrett is a tough blow for the Browns, who are in playoff contention for the ﬁrst time in years. But despite what Wentz’s numbers may show, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski respects his ability as a playmaker. “It is not hard to see what he is capable of,” Stefanski said. “This year, he is making plays. You go back previous years, he is making plays. He is a unique talent in his size and his ability to move. He can make every single throw, so he presents a very, very real challenge for our defense.” The Browns are coming off an ugly-yet-impressive win over the Houston Texans. With 60 mph wind gusts making it nearly impossible to throw, Cleveland turned to Nick Chubb (126) and Kareem Hunt (104) and both went over 100 yards rushing in the 10-7 victory. With rain in the forecast, the Browns ﬁgure to stay grounded with their Chubb-Hunt punching combination again. Eagles safety Rodney McLeod said it’s the kind of game where everyone needs to buckle their chin straps a little tighter. “It’s gonna be a battle,” McLeod said. “Those are two good running backs and you know exactly what run plays that are coming — and it’s can you stop it? They’re dynamic, they run hard. Everybody has to play their part and we have to get a lot of hats to the ball.” the Year award was won by Vinton County’s Cameron Zinn, while Alexander’s Karsyn Raines was named Defensive Player of the Year. Lady Spartans’ coach Natalie Lucas was named TVC Ohio Coach of the Year. From page 9 all-league honor for the Lady Rebels. In the Ohio Division the Offensive Player of Ohio Valley Publishing Steelers looking for a perfect 10 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Pittsburgh and Jacksonville have played some real nail-biters. Ten of their past 12 meetings have been one-score games, including several decided on the ﬁnal drive and a few on the ﬁnal play. The past two might have been the best between the former AFC Central foes, with Jacksonville winning a 45-42 shootout in Pittsburgh in the 2017 playoffs and the Steelers overcoming a 16-point deﬁcit in the second half and scoring on their ﬁnal play to pull out a 20-16 road victory 10 months later. The next chapter might not be as close. The undefeated Steelers (9-0) visit reeling Jacksonville (1-8) on Sunday, a matchup of one of the NFL’s most quintessential franchises and one of its most dysfunctional. “It’s been fortunate that the games have been tight, but we have a lot of challenges this week in all three phases,” Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said. The Steelers are trying to get to 10-0 for the ﬁrst time in franchise history. They are the 21st team since the 1970 merger to start 9-0. All 20 previous teams reached the playoffs, with seven of them winning the Super Bowl. “They have a lot at stake,” Marrone said. Marrone might have more, honestly. The Jaguars have lost eight in a row since stunning Indianapolis in the The Defensive Player of the Year award in the Hocking Division was shared by Trimble’s Riley Campbell and Waterford’s Alayna Jones. THS junior Laikyn Imler was TVC Hocking Offensive Player of the Year, while Lady opener, leaving them one shy of tying the single-season franchise record. Owner Shad Khan ﬁred then-coach Gus Bradley following his ninth straight loss in 2016. The Jaguars are 41-99 in Khan’s nine-year tenure. A loss Sunday would tie him with former New Orleans Saints owner John Mecom Jr. as the second fastest to reach 100. Khan would hit the dubious mark in 141 games, one more than late Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner Hugh Culverhouse. The positives for Jacksonville: the team played well in its past two loses and had chances to upset Houston and Green Bay, and the Jaguars have traditionally played Pittsburgh tight. The Steelers have won their past three trips to Jacksonville, but each has been decided by a touchdown or less. Pittsburgh, though, is a 10-point favorite this time around. “We’re not playing Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell, and they’re not playing Hines Ward and Jerome Bettis, so none of that is very relevant,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “We respect the challenge that’s 2020, and that’s what we’re getting ready for.” On the run, part I Pittsburgh’s defense has developed a surprising weakness over the past month: an inability to shut down the run. The Steelers were second in the league in fewest rushing yards allowed over the ﬁrst ﬁve games, giving up just 66.2 Wellston (0-12): Sadie Henry, Jr. Offensive Player of the Year: Cameron Zinn, Vinton County. 2020 TVC Ohio Defensive Player of the Year: volleyball team Karsyn Raines, Alexander.

That number has more than doubled to 157.5 yards over the past four weeks. Cincinnati averaged more than 5.0 yards a carry against Pittsburgh last week, providing a blueprint of sorts for a Jacksonville offense that will rely on rookie running back James Robinson to take some pressure off rookie quarterback Jake Luton, who will make his third start. “It’s up to us to stop the run,” Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward said. “With a younger quarterback, you tend to lean more on the run. They’ve got a lot of road graders in the offensive line that do a good job. So it’s going to be up to us to really set the tempo, get off the run early, put them in advantageous situations for us.” On the run, part 2 The Steelers aren’t just having issues stopping the run, they’re having trouble generating any sort of momentum on the ground on offense. While Roethlisberger has been able to pick up the slack — throwing for four touchdowns last week against the Bengals — Tomlin is well aware his team’s running game needs to take a signiﬁcant step forward after failing to go over 50 yards rushing in any of their past three games. “We are not up to snuff right now,” Tomlin said. “We accept ownership for that. We are going to roll our sleeves up and solve it.” Southern (6-6): Kayla Evans, Jr. Jordan Hardwick*, Sr. Federal Hocking (3-9): Lyndsey Robinson, So.

West Union, Ohio 45693 937-544-8524 �Along the River Ohio Valley Publishing Saturday, November 21, 2020 11 Marshall remembers lives lost in worst US sports disaster By John Raby Associated Press HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Marshall University commemorated the 50th anniversary of one of the worst sports disasters in U.S. history last Saturday, a plane crash that killed most of the football team. The solemn ceremony was held around a fountain dedicated to the crash victims on Marshall’s Huntington campus. As part of an annual rite, the fountain was turned off at the end of the service and will be turned back on in the spring. “This plaza and this fountain are the heart of Marshall University,” university President Jerome Gilbert said. “It is the center of activity of the campus. “Today, it is a sacred place.” On Nov. 14, 1970, the chartered jet crashed in fog and rain into a hillside upon approach to an airport near Huntington as the team was returning from a game at East Carolina, killing all 75 on board. On Saturday, 75 candles surrounded the fountain. Gone were sons, fathers, mothers, classmates and fraternity brothers. The victims included 36 football players and 39 school administrators, coaches, fans, spouses and ﬂight crew. White roses were laid by the fountain as each victim’s name was read at the ceremony. Former Marshall cheerleader Lucianne Kautz Call lost her father, Charlie E. Kautz, who was the university’s athletic director. She graduated from Marshall in 1971. “We each lost one or more family members,” said Call, the ceremony’s keynote speaker. “From that moment, we became one family.” Marshall decided to continue the football program. But for the university and the entire community, it left a huge void. Some who were left off the ﬂight, did not make the trip or lost loved ones spent the next ﬁve decades with crippling questions that had no answers. “Yes, we grieve. Yes, we hurt,” Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick said. “This event taught me how to celebrate someone’s life. That’s what we are doing today.” Photos by Bryan Walters | OVP The fountain at Marshall University, prior to last Saturday’s remembrance ceremony. Kenova native and Grammy-award winner Michael W. Smith opened the ceremony by singing “Amazing Grace.” He told the audience that he was 13 when the plane crashed eight minutes from his house. “It forever changed my life,” Smith said. ”The town died. But the town came back.” The rebuilding of the football program was the subject of the 2006 movie “We are Marshall” starting Matthew McConaughey. “50 years,” McConaughey said last Saturday on Twitter. “Never forget. Never defeated. We Are Marshall.” The ceremony was held by invitation-only due to the coronavirus pandemic and was made available online. Among those in the fountain audience were four football players from East Carolina who played in that 1970 game. On Friday, the 36 players who died in the crash received degrees from Marshall in their ﬁelds of study. Members of the current team also visited a nearby cemetery, where six players from the 1970 team whose bodies were never identiﬁed were buried. And on Saturday, the 16th-ranked football team won, defeating Middle Tennessee 42-14. A view inside Joan C. Edwards Stadium and James F.

Boston-based R.R.

The collection included transcripts of Glover’s 1971 interviews with Dylan and letters the pair exchanged.

Dylan, 79, was close with Glover, who died last year. The two men broke into music in the same Minneapolis coffeehouse scene. Glover’s widow, Cynthia Nadler, put the documents up for auction online.

Understanding thyroid disorders The thyroid gland is a butterﬂy-shaped organ in the body and serves as a ‘middle man’ between the brain (pituitary gland) and the body. The pituitary excretes ‘Thyroid stimulating hormone’ that tells the thyroid how much hormone to secrete. These hormones are responsible for keeping many systems regulated including body temperature, reproductive hormones, energy expenditure (metabolism), and even your heart rate. When an individual’s thyroid Angie hormones are not at normal levRosier els, they are considered to have Contributing ‘thyroid disease’. There are many columnist causes of hormone imbalances including genetics, auto-immune disorders, surgeries, Cancer, previous radiation treatments, and in some cases have unknown causes. When an older child or adult has low thyroid hormone they are considered to have ‘hypothyroidism’. Having less than the adequate amount of hormone can wreak havoc on the body and cause many individualized symptoms including cold sensitivity, fatigue, low metabolism/ weight gain, constipation, depression. The general treatment of hypothyroidism is hormone replacement. Conversely, when an older child or adult has higher than normal thyroid hormone they are considered to have ‘hyperthyroidism’. Having more than the needed amount of thyroid hormone can also cause an array of system responses including weight loss, insomnia, high energy, and even anxiety. According to Children’s Health in Dallas, Texas, disorders of the thyroid gland are among the most common endocrine disorders affecting children occurring in 37 of 1,000 school-aged children in the United States. As parents and healthcare providers, we must be willing to explore the possibility that a child could have thyroid disease. Even younger pediatric cases of thyroid disease can be present but look quite different than in school-aged children and adults. Low thyroid function in an infant, for example, would slow the nervous system and potentially delay development. Some symptoms may present as issues with feeding/weight gain, decreased muscle tone, and possibly increased irritability. Even though the body can do awesome things such as ﬁght off viruses and pull nutrients out of our food, sometimes it needs some help staying regulated. If you have any questions or think you or your child may be exhibiting some symptoms of thyroid disease, please contact your primary care physician for an exam and testing.
