[Structural heterogeneity of epileptic foci in local drug-resistant epilepsy].

Background: To study etiopathogenesis is one of the most important tasks of modern neurology. Various types of structural changes occur in drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE); however, they are described as distinct phenomena.

Objective: To provide a comprehensive characterization of structural changes in the cortex and adjacent white matter in the electrophysiological activity zone (in the epileptic focus) in patients undergoing surgery for DRE.

[Tanatogenetic role of type 2 diabetes in neurosurgical patients].

Unlabelled: The idea of diabetes in the aspects of its impact on the course of different diseases and tanatogenesis remains little investigated.

Objective: To define the tanatogenetic significance of 2 type diabetes in neurosurgical patients.

Subject And Methods: Forty-three patients aged 22-75 years, who had died after neurosurgery, were examined.
