[Combination treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations using endovascular and microsurgical techniques].

Material And Methods: The study included 40 patients with cerebral AVMs. In the study group, 14 (35%) patients underwent microsurgical resection without preliminary embolization (1st group), and 26 (65%) patients underwent combined treatment (endovascular embolization and microsurgical intervention, 2nd group). The first group included patients with S&M grade I-III AVMs, and the second group included patients with S&M grade II-V AVMs.

[The use of high-flow extracranial-intracranial artery bypass in pathology of the cerebral and brachiocephalic arteries: technical features and surgical outcomes].

Background: Poor outcomes of surgical treatment for complex cerebral aneurysms due to the development of cerebral ischemia were the cause to use cerebral revascularization surgery for this pathology.

Objective: the study objective was to master a high-flow extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) artery bypass technique and evaluate its application in surgical treatment of complex and giant cerebral aneurysms as well as complex lesions of the brachiocephalic arteries.

Material And Methods: Fifty two patients underwent high-flow IC-EC bypass surgery; of these, 34 patients had complex cerebral aneurysms, and 18 patients had complex stenotic occlusive lesions of the brachiocephalic arteries.

[Attention system functions and their relationship with self-reported health in patients with brain damage due to tumor].

Material And Methods: Twenty patients with oncological lesions of the brain (mean age 56.5±8.

[Difficulties in the radiodiagnosis of lung injuries in phthisiatric practice].

The paper describes clinical cases of concomitant lung and intrathoracic lymph node involvements as evidenced by conventional radiography and computed tomography (CT). It shows difficulties in the differential diagnosis of different nosological entities in pulmonary tuberculosis. The x-ray semiotics of concomitant lung injuries is also depicted.
