Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!

Help us organize our website content.

Aetiology of goitre

(1) The mode of growth of the thyroid gland

(2) Frequency distribution of thyroid weights and sizes

(3) Proportionate size of the thyroid gland, and other organs, in the body. `Life-line' of the various organs

(4) Life-line of the thyroid gland as influenced by diet, age, sex, season, reproductive activity, and body-growth

(5) Comparison between surveys of `thyroid enlargement' in an almost `goitre-free universe' of rats and in school-children; incidence of goitre when different criteria of `thyroid enlargement' are used

(7) Relation of urinary excretion of iodine to the size of the thyroid gland: weight and size of the gland in relation to its iodine-content

(8) Effect of `high' and of `low' protein diets on the weight of the thyroid gland, and of the former on the urinary excretion of iodine in rats

(9) Effects on the thyroid gland of excess of lime and excess of fat in the diet. Effect of adding iodine to, or withholding it from, diets of varying constitution

(10) Some effects of imbalanced diets, deficient in vitamin-A-bearing ingredients, suitable protein and certain mineral elements, on the thyroid gland and neighbouring structures in rats

(11-12) `Lymph-adenoid goitre'

(13) Experimentally-produced lymph-adenoid goitre

(14) `Scurvy-goitre', `ground-nut goitre', `soya-bean goitre'

(15-18) Cabbage-goitre in rabbits

(19-20) Interaction of faulty food and insanitary condition in the causation of goitre

(21) `Cyanide-goitre' Effect on thyroid gland of cyanide-administration in rats. Combined effect of a goitrogenic diet and a highly contaminated drinking water on the thyroid gland in rats

(22) Effect of insanitary condition (or of the `goitre-noxa' associated with insanitary condition) on other organs of the body

(23) `Goitre-noxa' associated with insanitary condition. Its effect on the thyroid gland

(6) Relation of soil-iodine to the incidence of thyroid enlargement in school-children
