[Changes of the Heart Rhythm in Imbalance of Thyroid Gland Hormones and its Morphology in Outbred Rats].

Aim: To analyze the relationship between the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and thyroid dysfunction caused by low concentrations of free triiodothyronine (FT3), free triiodothyronine and free thyroxine (FT3 and FT4), and high concentrations of free thyroxine (FT4) with normal values of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in experiments on outbred rats.

Material And Methods: The pathogenesis of AF with low concentrations of FT3, FT3 and FT4, and a high concentration of FT4 was studied in an experiment on 146 outbred rats. In the experiment, hypothyroidism, euthyroidism, and thyrotoxicosis were modeled by changing the concentrations of thyroid hormones, and the effect of these conditions on ECG and the incidence of AF was evaluated.

[Comparison of the diagnostic capacities of imaging methods for childhood hemangiomas].

The diagnostic capacities of three imaging methods: B-mode ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in orbital hemangiomas in babies were compared. Orbital ultrasound, computed tomography, and MRI scans were examined in 358, 384, and 48 babies, respectively. Their mean age was 6.
