The notion “subclinical hypothyroidism”, its significance in the genesis of metabolismdisorders, debatable approaches to the treatment as well as the role of the thyroidgland hypofunction in pathogenesis of the menstrual cycle disorders and infertility onthe example of the own clinical observation is given in the article.Objective – to designate the criteria for diagnosis and approaches to the treatmentof subclinical hypothyroidism, as well as to confirm the role of the manifestedhypothyroidism in the pathogenesis of the reproductive function disorders in women.Conclusions. 1. The thyroid gland hypofunction plays a significant role in the genesisof metabolic changes and development of the menstrual cycle disorders, galactorrheaand infertility. 2. The problem of hypothyroidism in general and, subclinicalhypothyroidism, in particular, requires further study in order to reduce the risk ofmetabolic diseases development.

Abstract The Popeye domain-containing gene family encodes a novel class of cAMP effector proteins in striated muscle tissue. In this short review, we first introduce the protein family and discuss their structure and function with an emphasis on their role in cyclic AMP signalling. Another focus of this review is the recently discovered role of POPDC genes as striated muscle disease genes, which have been associated with cardiac arrhythmia and muscular dystrophy. The pathological phenotypes observed in patients will be compared with phenotypes present in null and knockin mutations in zebrafish and mouse. A number of protein–protein interaction partners have been discovered and the potential role of POPDC proteins to control the subcellular localization and function of these interacting proteins will be discussed. Finally, we outline several areas, where research is urgently needed.

In serial memory for spatial information, some studies showed that recall performance suffers when the distance between successive locations increases relatively to the size of the display in which they are presented (the path length effect; e.g., Parmentier et al., 2005) but not when distance is increased by enlarging the size of the display (e.g., Smyth & Scholey, 1994). In the present study, we examined the effect of varying the absolute and relative distance between to-be-remembered items on memory for spatial information. We manipulated path length using small (15″) and large (64″) screens within the same design. In two experiments, we showed that distance was disruptive mainly when it is varied relatively to a fixed reference frame, though increasing the size of the display also had a small deleterious effect on recall. The insertion of a retention interval did not influence these effects, suggesting that rehearsal plays a minor role in mediating the effects of distance on serial spatial memory. We discuss the potential role of perceptual organization in light of the pattern of results.
