[Event-related potentials in moderate cognitive impairment in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia treated with cytoflavin].

Authors compared cognitive functions in 60 patients (main group) with different stages of discirculatory encephalopathy (DE), I, II and III stages. A comparison group included 10 age-matched normals without DE. All patients underwent a clinical-neurological investigation and performed neuropsychological tests (MMSE, the Clock drawing test, Burdon probe) and Spilberger-Khanin test.

[Comparison of electrocardiographic data with morphological picture of atrial infarct].

The electrocardiographic changes were studied in autopsyproven fresh atrial infarction and compared with the morphological pattern of the lesion. The infarction was found to localize predominantly in the posterior wall of the right atrium. The morphological pattern of atrial infarction was similar to the changes developing in focal lesions of the left ventricular myocardium.

[Changes in the myocardium of the atrium in sudden death due to ischemic heart disease].

Studies of the myocardium of the right and left atria in 31 cases of sudden death due to myocardial infarction of the ventricles or in the presence of extensive-focal cardiosclerosis were carried out. Histological techniques for staining with hematoxylin-eosine, trichrome after Masson and Goldman's method were used. Microscopic investigation of the heart in 14 cases revealed fresh areas of necrosis of the myocardium atria, which the authors evaluated as infarction.
