Autoimmune rheumatological diseases’ incidence and prevalence have risen over the last decades they are becoming increasingly important worldwide. Thyroid autoimmune diseases share with them an imbalance in immune system that lead to a pro-inflammatory environment. Usually this is result of multi-factorial process. In fact, it includes not only possible genetic predisposition, but also environm...

background: within the context of developing techniques to facilitate the diagnosis of the thyroid diseases, the elemental composition of pathological thyroid tissue (neoplastic and non-neoplastic) was investigated by proton induced x-ray emission. the pixe has been widely used as a sensitive technique for trace elemental analysis in both biological and medical fields. materials and methods: th...

Recent studies in the field of autoimmune thyroid diseases have largely focused on the delineation of B-cell auto-epitopes recognized by the main autoantigens to improve our understanding of how these molecules are seen by the immune system. Among these autoantigens which are targeted by autoantibodies during the development of autoimmune thyroid diseases, thyroid peroxidase is a major player. ...

This review summarizes data on the incidence of autoimmune diseases and examines prevalence antithyroid antibodies in extrathyroid diseases. In world, about 5–7% population suffers from one or another type Among six most common diseases, thyroid associated predominate. The high raises questions potential role course It is believed that are result interactions between triggers, autoantigens, gen...
