Comprehensive study of the "normal" thyroid gland in fetuses and children of different age groups in the Chelyabinsk region revealed a number of changes characteristic of the so-called dysregulation pathology. The role of ecological factors and outcome of resuscitation and intensive therapy in these changes is discussed. It is shown that the development and manifestation of tumoral and non-tumoral diseases of thyroid gland prone to a combination of various diseases are delayed till the school age.
