[Evaluation of the results of magnetic resonance imaging of the brain for cognitive impairment in patients with heart failure: A review].

Cognitive impairment is a very common comorbidity in patients with heart failure (HF). Patients with HF show signs of memory decline, difficulty concentrating, and attention deficits. Cognitive dysfunction in HF is associated with a poor prognosis.

HER2-Positive Lacrimal Sac Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a 57-Year-Old Man.

Introduction: Lacrimal sac squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare tumor. Only 241 cases of lacrimal sac SCC have been reported in the literature. However, the detailed molecular profile of this tumor is unknown.

[Applying of magnetic resonance tomography for assessment of cardiac remodeling and risk stratification in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension].

Magnetic resonance imaging - is high precision method for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. Simultaneously with the anatomy and function of the right ventricle, magnetic resonance imaging allows to assess the pulmonary circulation, which leads to the widespread use of this method in the diagnosis and dynamic monitoring of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The article is devoted to the assessment of cardiac remodeling and risk stratification of this group of patients.

[Effect of dapagliflozin on the dynamics of magnetic resonance imaging in patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation].

Aim: To determine the effect of dapagliflozin therapy on myocardial remodeling and fibrosis according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Materials And Methods: In the group of 22 patients with a combination of CHF and AF we analyzed the dynamics of remodeling parameters and assessed myocardial fibrosis during 6-month therapy with dapagliflozin according to cardiac MRI with contrast.

Results:   After 6 months of dapagliflozin therapy there was a statistically significant increase in LVEF (27 [23-32]-32 [26.
