The thyroid gland is organ whose embryonic development features are predisposed spontaneous and induced lesions with various autoimmune effects. \u0000Cytokinin-induced thyroiditis (in 5070% of cases proceeds as a destructive thyroiditis), thyroid dysfunction following immune checkpoint inhibitors (using the combined treatment CTLA-4 + PD-1/PD-L1 leads to an increase hypothyroidism rates up to 20%). Some researchers presume that can develop thyroid dysfunction following treatment lithium. \u0000Authors emphasize that predisposition to autoimmune mechanisms thyroid diseases also has bipolar affective disorder and treatment with interferon-alfa in hepatitis C. \u0000For many of these clinical situations, national and international associations adopted clinical recommendations and physicians have been introduced to optimal screening algorithm of correcting treatment in risk groups. \u0000Immune rehabilitation therapy (IRT) is actively used in the treatment of many diseases. The effect of these drugs on the thyroid gland is most fully described for multiple sclerosis, HIV infection and bone marrow transplantation. The peculiarity of the non-specific effect of IRT preparations on the thyroid gland can lead to transient disorders or manifest in the late long-term period after completion of the IRT. This complicates the targeted diagnosis of a whole range of diseases, which means it increases the risk of development and progression of complications, worsens the patients quality of life and prognosis. \u0000In this article we reviewed for our readers European clinical guidelines for thyroid dysfunction, following IRT, published in 2019. The recommendations are relevant not only for Endocrinologists, but also for Rheumatologists, Infectious disease specialists, Transplantologists, GP and many other specialties. Earlier, in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Thyroidology a description was already made for immuno-mediated endocrinopathies, developing in the treatment of cancer patients with inhibitors of immune response control points. These endocrinopathies have their own distinctive features and are of interest in the study of adverse events from the thyroid gland. They are reflected in clinical recommendations and open up new aspects for the Endocrinologists about the effect of modern drugs on the thyroid gland.","PeriodicalId":10284,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and experimental thyroidology","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77570504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to variable medical interest, thyroid scintigraphy can be performed using 99 mTc-pertechnetate or radioactive iodine isotopes ( 123 I, 124 I, 131 I). For thyroid uptake evaluation used scintigraphy with 99 mTc-pertechnetate radiopharmaceutical, which is not organificates and quickly excretes from thyroid tissue. In case of thyroid iodine pharmacokinetics investigation radiopharmaceuticals labeled by iodine isotopes ( 123 I,  131 I, 124 I) are used.

To date, the effectiveness and safety of CDS systems vary and are ambiguous there are both successes and failures. Hundreds of clinical trials are carried out, and more than a hundred of systematic reviews are published. When evaluating the efficacy and safety of CDS systems, two types of outcomes are usually estimated: indicators of medical care (volume, time, costs, etc.), and patient outcomes (clinical and surrogate). A slight increase in physicians adherence to clinical guidelines has been observed, but ithad very small influence on surrogate outcomes, and there is no effect on clinical patient outcomes. A slight increase in risk with respect to patient outcomes was found in only a few studies. However, the methodological quality of the evidence is very low. In this regard, a few products based on artificial intelligence have so far approached the licensing phase. The field of CDS systems is developing, but not yet sufficiently studied, and there is a long way to real successes ahead.

Chronic iodine deficiency leads to irreversible defects in the intellectual and physical development of children, thyroid gland diseases, including such severe manifestations as functional autonomy and iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis and reproductive disorders. Aims: To assess the awareness of Russians about the effect of iodine deficiency on health and the need to use iodized salt in food. Materials and methods: During November 2019 we conducted an anonymous online survey about iodine deficiency and methods of its prevention. The participants of this survey were 9309 Russians of different age categories. We asked each respondent six questions regarding their knowledge about the importance of iodine for the body and its supply sources. This study is one-staged, uncontrolled, full-designed, and conducted using “Google Forms” (Google LLC, 2019). As a result, we summarized data on the awareness of Russians about iodine deficiency disorders and methods for its prevention. Results: 60.4% of respondents is using iodized salt, while the number of respondents who consider prevention with iodized salt to be unhealthy (or have lack knowledge of its effects) is related to the number of respondents who do not use iodized salt. We get that in Volga region only 50% of population is using iodized salt (the lowest level), while 62.83% of the European South inhabitants is using iodized salt. In the rest of Russian Federation, this indicator varies from 52 to 57%. There is a low awareness of the population about prevention of iodine deficiency disorders and as a result myth about the dangers of universal salt iodization are widespread in Russian Federation. Conclusions: Awareness of Russians about prevention of iodine deficiency disorders still remains at a low level, and it is directly affecting the success of ongoing prevention programs.","PeriodicalId":10284,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and experimental thyroidology","volume":"21 1","pages":"118-123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88938309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FNA results are useful for stratifying the risk of malignant neoplasms and provide key information to determine the appropriateness of an operation. However, we should keep in mind that FNA is an invasive diagnostic method, so there is a possibility of complications. There is a likelihood of nondiagnostic, false positive and false negative results that can lead to a late or unnecessary operation. We see a growing incidence of thyroid nodules, associated mainly with the increased availability of ultrasound diagnostic of this organ. So the leading organizations involved in the development of clinical guidelines for diagnostics and treatment of thyroid pathologies suggest limiting the conduct of FNA. The use of this method in some cases is not necessary and at times can be even dangerous to a patient. When making clinical decisions, sonographic patterns of thyroid nodules and individual anamnestic and clinical factors of the patient should be considered. For small thyroid nodules, the FNA in most cases is not necessary. It is more rational to make a decision based on sonographic patterns rather than be guided by a threshold node size of > 1 cm. The specific sonographic patterns of malignancy are: presence of calcifications, irregular margins, hypoechoic nodule, taller-than-wide shape, metastases to the cervical lymph nodes, and extrathyroidal extension. The totality of these signs is useful for stratifying the risk of malignancy of the thyroid nodules and deciding on the need for FNA.","PeriodicalId":10284,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and experimental thyroidology","volume":"16 1","pages":"96-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86590672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, in the production of bakery products, the recipe of which contains edible salt, the use of iodized salt will become mandatory. According to the experience of many near and far countries, within 23 years from the start of the program of mandatory salt iodization, one can expect a significant (at times) reduction in the incidence of endemic goiter. This trend will not exhaust itself in subsequent years. In the medium term (after about 10 years), a decrease (by half or more) in the incidence of thyrotoxicosis can also be expected in Russia. However, in the short term (57 years), a transient increase in the incidence of thyrotoxicosis in people over 60 years of age is possible, which can be considered a kind of payment for the previous iodine deficiency. The trend towards an increase in the incidence of subclinical and, possibly, manifest hypothyroidism may continue, but this will not be a consequence of an increase in iodine supply. Optimization of iodine intake against the background of mandatory salt iodization should reduce the frequency of transient disorders of thyroid function in newborns and, possibly, congenital hypothyroidism.","PeriodicalId":10284,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and experimental thyroidology","volume":"422 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88350063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oncogenesis is associated with a change in the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway status. At the same time, the existence of protective autophagy, as one of the mechanisms of disease progression and the formation of resistance to treatment, has been proven. The review describes the significant mechanisms of the autophagy development, its association with AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. A molecule mTOR in TORC1 complex is associated with the oncogenesis, it provides the proliferation of transformed cells, apoptosis inhibition, and to the development of autophagy. \u0000The participation of this phenomenon at all stages of carcinogenesis, influencing on the main signal kinases: AKT, mTOR, is noted. It is shown that in most cases this mechanism is responsible for the progression of the disease and the development of resistance to treatment. The development of thyroid cancer associated with the BRAF mutation and with the activation of the RET oncoprotein, as well as with the formation of radio-resistant forms of the disease is associated with molecular peculiarities of autophagy. Given the inconsistency of this phenomenon regarding their influence on the processes of oncogenesis, its role in the development of thyroid cancer is still unknown.","PeriodicalId":10284,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and experimental thyroidology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85375554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
