Own and foreign experience in surgical treatment of thyroid gland (TG) diseases was analyzed. Surgical anatomy of TG, effective methods of surgical techniques, classification of disorders of vocal cords mobility, and treatment policy are described. It is demonstrated that no less than 70-80% patients with respiratory disorders after surgeries on TG can avoid tracheostomy and subsequent complex and sometimes staged plastic surgeries on the larynx. Proposed recommendations permit one to reduce risk of postoperative complications, to improve long-term results of surgical treatment and life quality of operated patients.

Zoonoses are infectious diseases transmitted from animals to humans. Bats have been suggested to harbour more zoonotic viruses than any other mammalian order. Infections in bats are largely asymptomatic, indicating limited tissue-damaging inflammation and immunopathology.

Tourette syndrome is defined by motor and vocal tics, yet our understanding of the pathophysiology of tics remains limited. Functional MRI (fMRI) can localize brain function related to the clinical phenomenology of tics. Here, we review extant fMRI studies examining brain activity during the premonitory urge, tic release, and tic suppression.

Research conducted since the turn of the millennium has shown that the quality of life in patients with Tourette syndrome is affected by various health-related factors. The condition's chronic nature, along with its social and emotional implications, can significantly diminish the overall quality of life. Both core symptoms-motor and vocal tics-and associated comorbidities can contribute to functional impairments and reduced well-being.

This review explores the genetic basis of Tourette syndrome (TS), a complex neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. Family, twin, and molecular genetic studies provide strong evidence for a genetic component in TS, with heritability estimates ranging from 50% to 80%. The genetic architecture of TS is complex, involving both common variants with small effects and rare variants with larger effects.

Article Synopsis
- Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is valuable in thyroid/parathyroid surgeries and aims to assess vocal cord paralysis (VCP) through variations in recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) amplitudes.
- A study involving 728 RLNs found that specific amplitude ranges (particularly V2 at 117-216 μV) effectively predicted VCP with high sensitivity and specificity.
- The findings suggest that measuring V2 amplitudes can serve as a reliable method to predict postoperative VCP, especially when initial vagus nerve exposure is limited.
