Hashimotova tyreoiditida je chronické orgánově specifické autoimunitní onemocnění. Je charakterizována tvorbou autoprotilátek proti antigenům štítné žlázy s její lymfocytární infiltrací, vede k postupné destrukci funkčního parenchymu žlázy. Onemocnění je nejčastější příčinou vzniku hypotyreózy v oblastech, kde není dostatek jódu. Jeho etiologie není dosud přesně objasněna, často se u pacientů vyskytuje současně s dalšími autoimunitními poruchami, byl pozorován i jeho familiární výskyt. Bývá spojeno se zvýšeným rizikem rozvoje nádorového onemocnění štítné žlázy. Léčba je většinou konzervativní, chirurgický výkon bývá indikován při podezření na malignitu, nebo pokud se u pacientů vytvoří objemná struma působící mechanický útlak.The anatomical structures of the tubercle of Zuckerkandl (TZ) and the ligament of Berry (LB) have been known since the turn of the 20th century. The importance of the relationship between these structures and the thyroid gland was pointed out in the first half of the last century; nevertheless, it was neglected by most of the then surgeons. An increased interest of surgeons in detailed knowledge of these structures could only be observed from the 80´s of the last century in connection with guidelines for radical surgical treatments of the gland (both for benign and malignant diseases) and with the need to enhance the safety of these treatments. The knowledge of these two important structures and the skill of an exact surgical technique are necessary for the protection of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the parathyroid glands, and also for the actual removal of the entire thyroid gland. Thyroid surgeons must keep in mind the existence of many anatomical and pathological variations in these regions, which makes the preparation of the gland so delicate.On 8 June 1972, the Czechoslovak OK DNN aircraft carrier L410 Turbolet was delivered to the regular line Marianske Lazne - Prague to the Federal Republic of Germany. About 8 minutes after the launch from Marianske Lazne Airport, the likely head of the group of kidnappers threw the captain of the plane. During the fight with one of the passenger, the head of the group of kidnappers killed the captain of the aircraft by a shot from 7.65 mm pistol. Other members of the hijackers group attacked other passengers. After the aircraft captains death, the second pilot took command and landed at the sports club at Weiden. After the landing, the kidnappers were detained by the police. Ten kidnappers stayed in the Federal Republic of Germany. An airplane with other passengers and coffin of a shot captain landed in Prague Ruzyne the following day. On June 12, 1972, the re-autopsy of the captain of the aircraft was performed at the Central Military Hospital in Prague. Post-autopsy status was detected. In this re-autopsy, i the left cabin wall. More natural would be turning right over his right shoulder. In that case, he could be hit on the right side of the chest. The shooting kidnapper committed suicide in a cell overnight from 12 to 13 January 1973. It is not possible, based on the information available, to decide exactly how the gunshot has been going on. Czech experts did not have clothing of the captain or conclusions about their examination, and the hole on the left side of the neck was cut out by the German expert and was not provided to the Czech party through the request. It may be considered strange that the autopsy in Germany was performed in this relatively serious case outside the renowned forensic medicine department.In the Czech Republic, 1 500 suicides are committed in average per year approximately. Only in a small percentage has been used vehicle as a tool. Prove suicidal intent in a fatal road accident has been difficult, but mostly these accidents have similar characteristics - impact with tree or similar fixed obstacle, non - use of seat belt, absence of brake traces, etc. The aim of this paper is to present and analyse two almost identical traffic accidents - identical location, identical vehicle type. While one of these was fatal (but not proven suicide), the second accident was not fatal, but with suicidal intent. Data were obtained as a part of the Czech In-depth Study conducted by Transport Research Centre. Data from In-depth Accident Analysis provide a comprehensive view of all the factors related to a particular accident and serve to identify the characteristics leading to the crash occurrence.A crime scene is the result of the dynamic interrelation of various factors. Where a fatality is involved, thorough analysis of the scene by a forensic pathologist produces the first data for verifying consistency between the necropsy results and witness testimonies toward defining the dynamics of injury and death. This step is extremely important in identifying any liability. We present the case of a construction worker who fell through a trapdoor between two floors while holding an iron beam at a building site. This case demonstrates the effectiveness of an integrated approach, using both classic forensic investigation techniques and digital 3-D reconstruction it allowed verification of the dynamics of the injury and provided important information in assessing the employers liability.The Czech Head and Neck Cancer Cooperative Group (CHNCCG) held a meeting in Tabor on 11-12 October 2019 with the aim of reaching an interdisciplinary consensus on some controversial points where international unity is absent. The meeting resulted in recommendations on resection margin size terminology (definition of terms negative margin, close margin and positive margin) and on the adoption of terminology for neck dissections reporting according to the International Recommendation of the International Head and Neck Scientific Group and on assessment of HPV/p16 status in head and neck tumors.Fabry disease is a rare X-linked hereditary storage disease caused by a mutation of the gene encoding alpha-galactosidase A. Abivertinib manufacturer The clinical manifestation of the classical disease form is variable depending on the degree of individual organs involvement, including especially kidney, myocardium, central nervous system (CNS) and skin. We report a case of a 51-year-old man whose diagnostic manifestation was cardiac involvement leading to endomyocardial biopsy, which significantly contributed to the diagnosis. Although at that time he was already 9 years dependent on dialysis with terminal renal failure.
