AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined thyroid lesions in surgical samples from 1992-1996 across 12 regions in Russia and Belarus, focusing on local ecological conditions.
- An increase in thyroid carcinoma rates, especially papillary carcinoma, was noted in areas with radiation pollution, like Chelyabinsk and Bryansk.
- There was a significant correlation between thyroid disease incidence and radiation exposure, as well as pollution from sewage and iron metallurgy, but not with atmospheric pollution.
Article Abstract
Thyroid lesions were histologically studied on surgical material obtained in 1992-1996 in 12 regions of Russian Federation and Republic of Belarus. Various forms of thyroid pathology were considered with reference to local ecological situation. An increase of thyroid carcinoma incidence and particularly that of papillary carcinoma was observed in regions with radiation pollution (Chelyabinsk and Bryansk regions). A high degree of correlation exists between the incidence of various forms of thyroid pathology and radiation situation. This is also true for pollution of sewage and the presence of ferrous metallurgy factories. No correlation was found with the pollution of atmosphere.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how thyroid hormones may contribute to coronary atherosclerosis, a leading cause of coronary artery disease (CAD).
- Utilizing large genetic databases, the research examines various thyroid-related disorders and their potential links to coronary atherosclerosis through Mendelian Randomization techniques.
- Results indicate that conditions like hypothyroidism and Graves' disease increase the risk of coronary atherosclerosis, while no causal relationship was found between certain thyroid hormones (FT4 and TSH) and the disease.

Endocrine ophthalmopathy (EO; also called Graves' ophthalmopathy, thyroid eye disease) is a common extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease, characterized by the presence of autoimmune inflammatory process in the orbital soft tissues. The prevalence of EO is approximately 10 cases per 10.000 population, higher in individuals over 50 years old.

Introduction: Thyroid lesions are one of the most common diseases observed in clinical practice in the North India. These diseases have distinct cytological morphology and thus FNAC is done frequently. Here we report a case of adenomatoid goitre mimicking adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of salivary gland on cytology.

Introduction Orthopaedic surgery frequently involves the use of intra-operative radiographs, commonly taken with surgeons standing in close proximity to the X-ray machine. Radiation training and appropriate radiation protection minimise the harm that surgeons can face from ionising radiation. This study evaluates the current state of radiation training and protective equipment available to orthopaedic surgeons in the East of England.

The gut microbiota is a complex and dynamic ecosystem that plays a crucial role in human health and disease, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer. Chronic inflammation is a common feature of these diseases and is closely related to angiogenesis (the process of forming new blood vessels), which is often dysregulated in pathological conditions. Inflammation potentially acts as a central mediator.
