[Type 2 diabetes and cognitive functions in patients with chronic cerebrovascular diseases].

Background: Type 2 diabetes (Т2DM) both directly and indirectly impacts the development of morphological and functional changes of the central nervous system.

Aim: The study was to determine clinical and neurophysiological patterns of cognitive impairment (CI) in patients with chronic cerebrovascular diseases (CCD) and Т2DM.

Materials And Methods: We examined 132 patients with CCD.

Covert Brain Infarcts in Patients with Philadelphia Chromosome-Negative Myeloproliferative Disorders.

Backgrounds And Purpose: Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative disorders (Ph-negative MPD) are a rare group of hematological diseases, including three distinct pathologies: essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). They most often manifest with thrombotic complications, including cerebrovascular events. Covert brain infarcts (CBIs) are defin ed as predominantly small ischemic cerebral lesions that are detected using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the absence of clinical stroke events.

[A pathogeneteic approach to the treatment of vestibular disorders in angioneurology].

Aim: To study the efficacy of vinpocetine (cavinton comfort) in the treatment of vestibular disorders in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia.

Material And Methods: A prospective study included 82 patients (43 men and 39 women, aged 61-75 years, mean age 63,8±5,4 years, with chronic cerebrovascular disease (1-2 stages) with vestibular disorders. Patients were divided into two groups.

Multimodal approach to treatment of neurological complications of chronic brain ischemia.

Aim: The study of Actovegin effectin clinical presentations and hemorheological characteristics in patients with chronic cerebrovascular pathology (CCVP) and mild cognitive impairment.

Materials And Methods: The study group included 47 patients (25 male and 22 female), aged 61-75 years (mean age 63.8±5.

[Cerebral atherosclerosis: a biomarker profile].

Aim: To assess the changes in several biomarkers in patients with atherosclerosis of brachiocephalic arteries and shape a biomarker profile of cerebral atherosclerosis as an integrative index.

Material And Methods: The study included 124 patients with atherosclerotic lesions of internal carotid arteries (82 men and 42 women) aged from 37 to 73 years. The patients were stratified by history of prior stroke into 'asymptomatic' and 'symptomatic'.
