Biopathogenic loads are undoubtedly an important problem of our time. The study of the manifestations and influence of radioactive load (RAS) on the entire human
body and, in particular, on its regulatory systems is now becoming more important for solving treatment issues, leaving preventive measures in the background. With
unfavorable trends in morbidity, disability and mortality rates in Lithuania, a deeper and more modern study of environmental factors makes sense. 20 years after the accident

However, the pathology of the thyroid gland is becoming more and more frequent, the incidence of oncohematological diseases, cardiovascular pathology is increasing, and
their rapid adverse outcomes are more and more often recorded. Working with local residents in Vilnius on the equipment of the IMEDIS Center since 2001 (n = 2464),
