Autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (APS) are a heterogeneous group of clinical conditions characterized by functional impairment of multiple endocrine glands due to loss of central or peripheral immune tolerance. These syndromes are also often accompanied by autoimmune damage to non-endocrine organs. Taking into account the wide range of components and variants of the disease, APS is usually divided into a rare juvenile type (APS 1) and a more common adult type (APS 2-4). ⋯ This review considers the available literature data on combinations that meet the above criteria. Many studies have noted a significantly higher prevalence of rheumatic diseases in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease compared with the control group. Also, as in a number of rheumatic diseases, a more frequent occurrence of autoimmune thyroiditis, primary hypothyroidism and Graves' disease was noted.

According to the "Federal Law on the Fundamentals of Protection of the Public Health", medical care for patients should be provided in accordance with National Russian guidelines for the relevant nosology, which are based on the principles of evidence-based medicine. The article presents an analysis of the compliance with the completeness of implementation of National Russian guidelines in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM 2) in real clinical practice. ⋯ Incomplete compliance with the guidelines on the frequency of measuring glycated hemoglobin, the rate of intensification of hypoglycemic therapy, and the appointment of new classes of hypoglycemic drugs was established. Possible reasons for the identified discrepancies between real practice and guidelines requirements are discussed, as well as possible measures to overcome these discrepancies.

Leonid Vasilyevich Sobolev is an outstanding pathologist, whose name definitely should occupy an honorable place in the galaxy of great scientists of Russia. However, his name was undeservedly forgotten, and the role of his work was underestimated. This Russian scientist made the most important discovery: he proved in an experiment that it is the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas that secrete a humoral regulator, "factor X", the deficiency of which leads to diabetes mellitus. ⋯ However, there is every reason to believe that the discovery of F. G. Banting, who repeated a series of experiments by Leonid Vasilyevich Sobolev, is, in fact, secondary, which is the research subject in this paper.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (arGLP1) are an effective treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), mainly due to increasing insulin secretion and suppressing glucagon release by stimulating the respective receptors. Taking into account their positive effect on major cardiovascular events, drugs in this group with proven cardioprotective effects are recommended for patients with T2DM and clinical cardiovascular diseases or multiple cardiovascular risk factors. In this paper, we present an overview of current clinical studies on the clinical efficacy and safety of arGLP1 and discuss current prospects for arGLP1 as a therapy for patients with T2DM.
