[Surgical treatment of secondary trigeminal neuralgia].

Objective: To present a case series analysis of surgical treatment of patients with secondary trigeminal neuralgia.

Material And Methods: The treatment of 8 patients with secondary trigeminal neuralgia who underwent surgery since 2021 was analyzed. All records, neuroimaging archive, and follow-up observations were reviewed.

[Mistakes in the diagnosis of neuromyelitis optic spectrum diseases lead to wrong therapy and deterioration of patients' condition].

Neuromyelitis optic spectrum diseases (NMOSD) are a group of rare neuroimmunological diseases involving mainly the optic nerves and spinal cord, to a lesser extent the brain, and causing severe exacerbations that lead to persistent disability of patients. For many years, opticoneuromyelitis was considered a prognostically unfavorable variant of the course of multiple sclerosis (MS), however, in 2004, specific autoantibodies to aquaporin-4 were found in such patients, which made it possible to isolate NMOSD into a separate group of demyelinating diseases other than MS. Due to similar clinical signs and the predominantly remitting course of diseases, it is often difficult to make a correct diagnosis and, accordingly, prescribe effective therapy, which often leads to incorrectly selected therapy with incorrect diagnosis.

Fusing modalities by multiplexed graph neural networks for outcome prediction from medical data and beyond.

With the emergence of multimodal electronic health records, the evidence for diseases, events, or findings may be present across multiple modalities ranging from clinical to imaging and genomic data. Developing effective patient-tailored therapeutic guidance and outcome prediction will require fusing evidence across these modalities. Developing general-purpose frameworks capable of modeling fine-grained and multi-faceted complex interactions, both within and across modalities is an important open problem in multimodal fusion.

Survival of Nematode Larvae after Treatment with Eugenol, Isoeugenol, Thymol, and Carvacrol.

Background: Helminthiases inflict annual losses on the meat and dairy livestock industries. The commonest species of ruminant parasites are the nematodes: and , which lay eggs in the intestine and enter the feces. There, the eggs develop into larvae, which when voided with the feces crawl onto plants.

[Hostility as a manifestation of attachment disorders in depression].

Objective: To analyze the relationship between hostility and attachment disorders in endogenous depression.

Material And Methods: The study included 49 patients with a diagnosis of depressive disorder, all of them completed the Simptom Check List-90-Revised (SCL-90R); the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire; the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R); Ich-Struktur-Test nach Ammon. The patients were assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17).
