In recent years, modern endocrinology has made significant progress in understanding the diverse manifestations of the influence of hormones on the body's vital processes.
Endocervicosis is a rare pathological condition characterized by the presence of mucous membrane (endocervical tissue) outside its usual location in the cervix
Endocervicitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the cervical canal. The etiological factor in the development of endocervicitis is the penetration of staphylococci, streptococci, E. coli, enterococci, and various viruses into the cervical canal.
Endemic typhus is a sporadic acute benign zoonotic rickettsiosis transmitted through ectoparasites of mice and rats, with a characteristic cyclical course, fever, moderate intoxication and widespread roseolous-papular rash.
The most common manifestation of iodine deficiency is goiter. Goiter formation is a compensatory reaction aimed at maintaining homeostasis of thyroid hormones in the body.
Endemic Balkan nephropathy is a chronic non-inflammatory disorder of the renal tubulointerstitium. This disease is observed only in the Danube River basin in Serbia, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Bulgaria.
Enchondroma (synonyms: chondroma, central chondroma) is a benign tumor of well-differentiated hyaline cartilage located in the central parts of the bone.
An encephalocele is a herniated protrusion of intracranial contents through a congenital defect of the skull base. A meningocele contains only dura mater, whereas a meningoencephalocele also contains brain tissue.

Encephalitis caused by the herpes simplex virus begins acutely, with a rise in body temperature. Meningeal symptoms appear quickly, and general epileptic seizures often occur. Focal symptoms are manifested by central mono- and hemiparesis, hyperkinesis.
According to medical terminology, encephalitic meningitis is correctly called meningoencephalitis, since in this infectious disease the inflammatory process affects not only the membranes of the brain, but also its substance.
Quite often, the syndrome of the "empty" sella turcica is asymptomatic. In the presence of symptoms, the clinical picture is extremely diverse.

Headaches in the forehead, leakage of cerebrospinal fluid from the nose when coughing and sneezing, changes in the visual fields are possible.
The phrase "empty sella turcica" (EST) entered medical practice in 1951. After anatomical work, it was proposed by S. Busch, who studied the autopsy material of 788 people who died from diseases not associated with pituitary pathology.
