Introduction: Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AIT) are one of the most common disorders associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and they are capable of influencing its course. For Hashimoto's lymphocytic thyroiditis, the incidence is 14-28%, while for Graves-Basedow hyperthyroidism it is 0.5-7%. Aim of the study: Assessment of type 1 diabetes in the pediatric population with coexisting autoimmune thyroid diseases: Hashimoto's lymphocytic thyroiditis and Graves-Basedow's disease.

Material And Methods: Analyzing publications from the PubMed scientific database from 1990 to May 2020.

Results: Among pediatric patients with T1D and coexisting thyroid autoimmunity insufficient glycemic control is usually observed. Reported average increase in glycated hemoglobin concentration ranges from 7.9 to 9.2%. In children with T1D and subclinical hypothyroidism, an increased number of episodes of hypoglycemia was noted - 5 vs. 2 episodes per year among children with euthyroidism. In hyperthyroidism patients the number of episodes of hypoglycemia was 34.4 vs. 17.2 per 100 incidents in euthyroidism patients. An increased occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis events may also be observed - 18.1 vs. 7.7 per 100 patients with euthyroidism per year. The risk of developing chronic complications in the form of cardiovascular diseases is also higher. However, basing on the available literature, this subject is still debatable.

Conclusions: Autoimmune thyroid diseases often accompany and interfere with type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents. Paying special attention to the different course of diabetes in the presence of thyroid disorders is an important and essential element of diabetes care.

Melatonin (MEL), functioning as a circulating hormone, is important for the regulation of ferroptosis in different health scenarios and acts as a crucial antioxidant in cardiovascular diseases. However, its specific function in ferroptosis related to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) remains to be fully elucidated. In our research, we utilized a rat model of MIRI induced by coronary artery ligation, along with a cell model subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R).

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the activity of extraocular muscles (EOMs) in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) using turbo spin echo imaging. By analyzing tissue heterogeneity, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis offers enhanced insights into edema within the EOMs.

Methods: Eighty-eight patients with TAO were retrospectively evaluated and allocated into active (n = 24, clinical activity score [CAS] ≥ 3) and inactive (n = 64, CAS < 3) groups.

Purpose: The transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is distinguished by its ability to leave no visible scars on the body's surface. Currently, there is still a lack of single-center large sample size analysis on the learning curve of TOETVA, especially for the treatment of thyroid cancer. This study aims to fill this void by presenting a comprehensive analysis of the learning curve and assessing the procedure's feasibility in managing thyroid cancer.

Autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (APS) are characterized by associations of two or more autoimmune diseases (AID). APS type 3 is characterized by the presence of autoimmune thyroid disease associated with other AID, excluding adrenal gland involvement. Here we report a case of a 64-year-old male, with history of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), diagnosed at the age of 32, who was referred to a Diabetes consultation in 2014 due to poor metabolic control.

The role of autophagy in Graves disease: knowns and unknowns.

Graves disease (GD), an autoimmune disease affects the thyroid gland, results in hyperthyroidisms and goiter. The main cause of GD is not clearly defined; however, stimulating autoantibodies for thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) known as thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSIs) are the primary proposed mechanism. The TSI activation of TSHRs of thyroid gland results in excessive release of thyroid hormones with the subsequent development of hyperthyroidism and goiter.
