Non-crystallographic symmetry of liquid metal, flat crystallographic faults and polymorph transformation of the MC carbide.

The fine lamellar fault structure of primary MC carbide particles in the heat-resistant Fe-Cr-Ni-C alloy of the HP series (0.45C-25Cr-35Ni) in the cast condition has been revealed using transmission electron microscopy. The lamellar fault structure is regarded as an inheritance of the initial melt structure.

[Treatment outcome of chemotherapy with superselective cerebral artery catheterization in vegetative state patients].

The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of superselective neurotransmitter metabolic therapy in patients in a vegetative state. Superselective intraarterial infusion was conducted on 26 patients with relevant international criteria for the diagnosis of vegetative state. Comprehensive assessment of neurologic symptoms and severity of low metabolism on PET scan allowed to select the vascular pool, for the catheter installation.

[The role of rivastigmine (exelon) in the treatment of consequences of cranial-brain trauma].

The use of rivastigmine in the rehabilitation of patients with cognitive disturbances after cranial-brain trauma (CBT) is reviewed. Replacement of cholinergic deficit exerts a positive effect on sanogenetic process in the brain, facilitate consolidation and learning of afferent information in the restoring brain. The authors emphasize that the administration of neuromediator preparations needs the level of organization of integrative brain activity which is sufficient for the formation of awakening reaction (opening of eyes - awakening from coma).
