Age-Related Features of the Function of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Thyroid (HPT) Axis in Nonhuman Primates under Constant Lighting.

We studied the features of the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis under conditions of constant (4 weeks) lighting (LED lamps intended for office and residential premise) on a translational model of young adult and old female rhesus monkeys, in particular taking into account their behavior. Constant lightning had no significant effect on the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyroxine, and triiodothyronine under basal conditions in all animals, regardless of age and behavioral characteristics, but induced a decrease in thyroid function under conditions of its activation with thyrotropin-releasing hormone, mainly in old animals.

Individualized selection of recent glucose monitoring devices for self-management based on competitive features.

Objective: Goal of the study was to systematically review competitive advantages of medical devices for glucose monitoring in diabetic patients.

Method: The review is done systematically according to SALSA criteria and PRISMA guidelines. The search for eligible articles was held from February 16 2023 to March 1 2023 in Russian and English languages.

[Type 2 amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis: prevalence, time and predictors of development].

Background: Amiodarone takes a leading position in arrhythmological practice in the prevention and relief of various cardiac arrhythmias. Type 2 amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis is a frequent side effect of the drug. It is the most complex type of thyroid dysfunction both in terms of the severity of clinical manifestations, and in terms of understanding the mechanisms of pathogenesis, possibility of differential diagnosis and providing effective treatment.

[Type 2 amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis: efficacy of glucocorticoid therapy, a retrospective analysis].

Background: Type 2 amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis remains a significant problem of endocrinology and cardiology. Due to the increase a life expectancy of the population, the prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias and prescribing of amiodarone are increasing. Thyrotoxicosis aggravates the existing cardiovascular disease in patients, leads to the progression of left ventricular dysfunction, relapses of arrhythmias, increasing the risk of adverse outcomes.

Control of movement of underwater swimmers: Animals, simulated animates and swimming robots.

The control of movement in living organisms represents a fundamental task that the brain has evolved to solve. One crucial aspect is how the nervous system organizes the transformation of sensory information into motor commands. These commands lead to muscle activation and subsequent animal movement, which can exhibit complex patterns.
