Half Century of the Continuation of the Institute of Endocrinology in Prague
Půl století existence Endokrinologického ústavu
Při příležitosti 50. výročí založení Endokrinologického ústavu v Praze je stručně načrtnuta jeho historie. Prvá léta jeho existence jsou svázána se jménem zakladatele ústavu doc. MUDr. Karla Šilinka, DrSc., který provedl na začátku 50. let minulého století impozantní epidemiologický průzkum jodového deficitu v Čechách a na Moravě a docílil zřízení ústavu k 1. lednu 1957. Předmětem jeho zájmu nebyla jen štítná žláza, ale také využití radioizotopů v medicíně, enzymologie, steroidy a kybernetika. Ústav přežil bouřlivou druhou polovinu 20. století a následovníci K. Šilinka zavedli do výzkumných programů ústavu a také do léčebné péče endokrinologickou imunologii, pediatrickou endokrinologii, molekulární biologii, neuroendokrinologii a bohaté využití dynamických testů, cytologie a zobrazovacích metod v léčebné péči, která je v současnosti věnována více než 150 000 registrovaných pacientů.

Overview
At the occasion of the 50th anniversary of its foundation, the short history of the Institute of Endocrinology in Prague is outlined. The early years were connected with its founder, Prof. As. MUDr. Karel Šilink, DrSc., who carried out an imposing epidemiological survey of iodine deficit in the Czech Republic at the beginning of fifties and who founded the institute on 1. 1. 1957. Not only the thyroid gland, but also the use of radioisotopes, enzymology, steroid hormones and cybernetics were the aims of his interest. The Institute survived the turbulent events of the second half of the 20th century and the successors of K. Šilink introduced also endocrine immunology, paediatric endocrinology, molecular biology, neuroendocrinology and obesitology into the normal program of research and health care, which is nowadays applied to over 150 000 patients.
