Introduction: This is a retrospective analysis of the results of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in different age groups.

Methods: This cohort, comparative, retrospective, open-label study for the period from 2008 to 2020 included 7248 patients with hemodynamically significant stenoses of the internal carotid artery (ICA), who underwent CEA. According to the classification of the World Health Organization, patients were divided into groups depending on age: up to 44 years-young age ( = 84); 45-60 years-middle age ( = 1635); 61-75-elderly age ( = 4817); over 75 years-senile age ( = 712).

Article Synopsis
  • - Opsoclonus is an involuntary eye movement disorder characterized by rapid, chaotic, and multidirectional eye movements, often linked to myoclonus and commonly caused by a paraneoplastic process or viral infections.
  • - A case study highlights a 26-year-old man with symptoms resembling encephalitis, including balance issues, tremors, and jerking eye movements, leading to the diagnosis of opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome after testing positive for West Nile virus.
  • - Despite initial treatment with acyclovir and dexamethasone, the patient experienced severe symptoms for two weeks but gradually improved with rehabilitation, emphasizing the importance of recognizing West Nile virus as a potential cause of this syndrome.

Aim: Analysis of in-hospital and long-term results of carotid endarterectomy in patients with asymptomatic and symptomatic stenoses.

Materials And Methods: The sample was formed by completely including all cases of carotid endarterectomy ( = 65,388) performed during the period from May 1, 2015 to November 1, 2023. Depending on the symptomatic/asymptomatic nature of the stenosis, all patients were divided into two groups: group 1 - = 39,172 (75.

Unlabelled: The objective is to determine the complete nucleotide sequence and conduct a phylogenetic analysis of genome variants of the Puumala virus isolated in the Saratov region.

Materials And Methods: The samples for the study were field material collected in the Gagarinsky (formerly Saratovsky), Engelssky, Novoburassky and Khvalynsky districts of the Saratov region in the period from 2019 to 2022. To specifically enrich the Puumala virus genome in the samples, were used PCR and developed a specific primer panel.
