RESULTS OF BRAIN INJURY PRIMARY SURGICAL TREATMENT IN A COMPLEX CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH COMBAT-RELATED PENETRATING CRANIOCEREBRAL GUNSHOT WOUND AT A SPECIALIZED MEDICAL FACILITY.

The aim of the study is to justify the "balanced" approach to brain debridement (BD) in surgical treatment of combat-related penetrating craniocerebral gunshot wound (PCGW) patients and assess immediate and long-term treatment results. The analysis of applied surgical BD techniques was performed in PCGW military personnel with admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 4 or above. The study included 81 injured patients.

Mortality and Functional Outcome Predictors in Combat-Related Penetrating Brain Injury Treatment in a Specialty Civilian Medical Facility.

Introduction: The combined use of new types of weapons and new types of personal protective equipment has led to changes in the occurrence, nature, and severity of penetrating brain wounds. The availability of modern equipment, methods of treatment, and trained medical personnel in a civilian hospital, as well as advanced specialty medical care, has improved treatment outcomes. There have been a limited number of publications regarding analysis and predictors of treatment outcomes in patients with combat-related penetrating brain injury in contemporary armed conflicts.

ANTIBACTERIAL THERAPY FOR PURULENT-SEPTIC COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS WITH COMBAT RELATED PENETRATING CRANIOCEREBRAL GUNSHOT WOUNDS.

Aim - to evaluate pathogens and their susceptibility to antibiotic therapy (ABT) in combat-related penetrating craniocerebral gunshot wound (PCGW) patients and develop recommendations for treatment of post-traumatic meningoencephalitis. We conducted a prospective analysis of examination and treatment results of 121 patients who were admitted to the Public Institution, Mechnikov Dnipropetrovsk Regional Clinical Hospital, Dnipro, Ukraine, from 25 May 2014, to 31 December 2017, and were successively enrolled in the study. Intracranial purulent-septic complications were diagnosed in 14 (11.

Surgery for Triple Pathology of Giant Vestibular Schwannoma Associated with Carotid Artery Stenosis and Intracranial Aneurysm: Case Report.

Here we report the case of a 56-year-old woman who presented with a highly unusual combination of three pathologies, namely a giant left-sided vestibular schwannoma, severe stenosis of the left internal carotid artery, and a right anterior cerebral artery aneurysm. The chosen approach comprised three consecutive surgical procedures, namely (1) aneurysm embolization, (2) carotid stenosis stenting, and (3) vestibular schwannoma excision. This approach avoided complications and achieved a satisfactory functional outcome.

Molecular characterization of Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms in Ukraine.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the JAK2 V617F, the G1691A allele of factor V, and the G20210A prothrombin gene mutation status, and their predictive value for thrombosis in patients with Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) in Ukraine, with special emphasize to patient exposed to ionizing radiation due to the Chernobyl accident.

Materials And Methods: There were 198 patients with Ph-negative MPN included in the study. Of these, 45 patients had experienced radiation exposure due to the Chernobyl accident.
