Personality Disorders and Traits of ABC Clusters in Fibromyalgia in a Neurological Setting.

Background: Evidence suggests that there is substantial comorbidity between fibromyalgia and Axis II pathology (i.e., personality disorders-PDs).

[Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and myelitis associated with new coronavirus infection COVID-19. Case report].

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (AEM) and acute transverse myelitis (OPM) are autoimmune demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system. Two clinical observations of AEM and OPM developed after suffering acute coronavirus infection (SARS-CoV-2) are presented. Differential diagnosis was carried out with multiple sclerosis, encephalitis of an infectious nature, compressive myelopathy, and opticomyelitis.

[Disc hernia regression as a natural course of discogenic lumbosacral radiculopathy].

Disc herniation with radiculopathy is a common cause of severe back pain leading to significant disability and a decrease in patients' quality of life. The authors report a case of 38-year-old female patient with radiculopathy of the first sacral root due to a large (11 mm) sequestered disc herniation between the fifth lumbar and the first sacral vertebrae. Conservative treatment with fluoroscopically-guided epidural steroid injection provided a significant clinical improvement, the patient was able to return to normal daily and professional activity in a short time.

[Influence of granulocytic colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on reparative osteogenesis].

The effect of recombinant G-CSF (50 mg/day for 3 days) on reparative osteogenesis in rats was studied on the model of induced osteogenesis after resection of a tibial fragment resection. Reparative processes in the bone tissue were estimated by histological picture and activity of serum alkaline phosphatase. The conclusion is made that G-CSF inhibits reparative osteogenesis.

Immunomodulation of reparative processes in the skin with ribomunyl.

A stimulatory effect of intradermal injections of ribomunyl on healing of a skin wound was shown in rats. The effect is based on activation of glycosaminoglycan synthesis and stimulation of neoangiogenesis in newly formed granulation tissue.

[Intracranial (arterial and venous) and carotid hemodynamics in patients with severe pulmonary pathology].

A distinctive feature of cerebral blood circulation in patients with chronic non-specific lung diseases (CNLD) complicated with chronic pulmonary heart (CPH) is a pronounced disturbance of cerebral venous drainage without a reliable reduction of both cerebral circulation and blood flow in common carotid arteries. Correlation between the degree of venous drainage disturbance and an extent of CNLD was found. Atherosclerotic damage of major arteries of the head in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) and CNLD was less marked.

[A polarization-interference method for research on functional stresses in the hard tissues of pathologically worn teeth restored with cast inserts].

The effect of thickness of casted insertion and parapulpar pins (their dimensions and location taken into account) on the strains in the tooth hard tissues was investigated. The holographic interferometry was applied to distinguish between strains in the sections dentin--insertion and dentin--pin. Holograms and focused images were obtained using dual exposition technique.
