Rapid Effects of BCI-Based Attention Training on Functional Brain Connectivity in Poststroke Patients: A Pilot Resting-State fMRI Study.

The prevalence of stroke-induced cognitive impairment is high. Effective approaches to the treatment of these cognitive impairments after stroke remain a serious and perhaps underestimated challenge. A BCI-based task-focused training that results in repetitive recruitment of the normal motor or cognitive circuits may strengthen stroke-affected neuronal connectivity, leading to functional improvements.

Stochastic modeling of antibody binding predicts programmable migration on antigen patterns.

Viruses and bacteria commonly exhibit spatial repetition of surface molecules that directly interface with the host immune system. However the complex interaction of patterned surfaces with immune molecules containing multiple binding domains is poorly understood. We developed a pipeline for constructing mechanistic models of antibody interactions with patterned antigen substrates.

The Phylogenetic Relationships of the Fanniidae within the Muscoid Grade (Diptera: Calyptrata) Based on the Musculature of the Male Terminalia.

The abdominal and pregenital segments and the genitalia were studied in males of (Zetterstedt, 1845), (Linnaeus, 1761) and (Zetterstedt, 1838). In comparison with the remaining members of the muscoid grade, in addition to the symmetry of the pregenital segments, significant reductions of the sclerites and musculature of the male terminalia have been observed in Fanniidae. The muscular structure of pregenital segments confirms that the fused pregenital ring is syntergosternite VI + VII + VIII.

Description of local carbon flux from large scale gridded climate data by a dynamic global vegetation model at variable time steps: Example of Euroflux sites.

Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs) are commonly used to describe the land biogeochemical processes and regulate carbon and water pools. However, the simulation efficiency and validation of DGVMs are limited to varying temporal and spatial resolutions. Additionally, the uncertainties caused by different interpolation methods used in DGVMs are still not clear.

The position of the Azeliinae in the Muscidae (Diptera) based on musculature of the male terminalia.

NMDA receptor genotypes associated with the vulnerability to develop dyskinesia.

Dyskinesias are involuntary muscle movements that occur spontaneously in Huntington's disease (HD) and after long-term treatments for Parkinson's disease (levodopa-induced dyskinesia; LID) or for schizophrenia (tardive dyskinesia, TD). Previous studies suggested that dyskinesias in these three conditions originate from different neuronal pathways that converge on overstimulation of the motor cortex. We hypothesized that the same variants of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor gene that were previously associated with the age of dyskinesia onset in HD were also associated with the vulnerability for TD and not LID.

[Therapeutic possibilities hepatoprotectors in alcoholic liver cirrhosis].

Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to investigate the therapeutic opportunities of S-adenosylmethionine and polyunsaturated lecithin in Child class A patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis using transient elastography.

Materials: The 38 males Child class A alcoholic liver cirrhosis were investigated.

Results: The use of S-adenosylmethionine or polyunsaturated lecithin in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis is reasonable cause of their possibility to reduce the fibrogenesis in liver tissue and of their possibility to improve the function of remained intact hepatocytes.

[Hoarseness patterns in children].

The objective of the present work was to study the structure of voice disorders in children depending on the methods chosen to diagnose dysphonia. Medical histories of 1,451 children at the age varying from 2 months to 16 years were analysed. All of them were patients hospitalized for the first time between 1997 and 2007 to treat hoarseness caused by vocal cord nodules, functional or mutational dysphonia, chronic laryngitis, vocal cord paresis/palsy, recurring respiratory papillomatosis, vocal cord cystitis, and cicatrical laryngeal stenosis.

[Genetic markers in forensic medical examination of acute and chronic opioid intoxication].

The objective of the present study was to analyse cases of intoxication with opioid narcotics at different blood morphine levels, from low and very low (below 0.5 mg/l) to regular toxic ones (1-4 mg/I). It was shown that molecular genetic studies at postmortem morphine concentrations of up to 0.

[Abdominoplasty during operations for ventral hernias].

Anatomic cadavers studies have shown the necessity of one-stage abdominoplasty during herniotomy for ventral hernias. An original method of hernioplasty was developed. It is demonstrated that abdominoplasty in all the cases reduces tension of tissues with maximal effect in defects of the anterior abdominal wall from 32 to 150 cm(2) and subcutaneous fat thickness more than 3 cm.

[Multifactorial nature of Chiari type I malformation].

The aim of the study was to analyze genetic aspects of Chiari type I malformation (CMI) using clinical neurological examination and magnetic resonance imaging data on the craniovertebral region in 13,500 outpatients, 364 inpatients with CMI and 91 first-degree relatives of 47 probands with CMI. Higher CMI frequency (3.9%) in the outpatients with neurological signs, and CMI clinical and morphologic polymorphism have been discovered, the women being mostly affected and the men displaying more severe clinical picture of the disease.

[Pyogenic infectious complications in recipients with allogenic kidneys: clinical and bacteriological aspects].

The bacteriological study of wound discharge indicated no changes in the structure of the microflora in the allogenic kidneys of recipients throughout the follow-up. Among microbes isolated there were prevalent gram-positive microbes whose proportion has slightly increased in the past year, with Staphylococcus, mainly epidermal Staphylococcus, which contributes to the etiology. At the same time, studies of wound discharge in the past years showed that the incidence of mixed infections had increased from 4.

[Use of ofloxacin in the treatment of suppurative-inflammatory complications in surgery].

Analysis of ofloxacin use in clinical surgery over the latest decade showed that despite its wide clinical application for the prevention and therapy of postoperative complications, this drug remains highly active for the majority of micro-organisms. Hence, a wide spectrum, high bactericidal activity of the drug, optimal pharmacokinetics, and a high bio-availability (95-100%) still recommend ofloxacin, a highly effective agent for the treatment of infectious complications of surgery.

[Ten-year experience with the use of ofloxacin in reconstructive surgery].

The data on the use of ofloxacin in more than 300 surgical patients for the last 10 years were analyzed. The results showed that despite the wide clinical use of ofloxacin in the prophylaxis and treatment of postoperative complications the drug remained highly active against the predominating majority of microbes causing surgical infections. Therefore, the broad spectrum, high bactericidal activity and optimal pharmacokinetics with the high biovailability at the level of 95 to 100 per cent provided the use of ofloxacin as a highly efficient agent in the treatment of postoperative infectious complications in surgical inpatients.

[Cefoperazone in a multi-profile surgical clinic].

The results of the clinical trials of cefoperazone (cefobid, Pfizer, USA), a 3rd generation cephalosporin, carried out at the Research Centre of Surgery are presented. The antibiotic was used to treat and prevent postoperative infections in 44 patients. Good and satisfactory results were observed in 43 out of the 44 patients (99.

[Pathogenetic characteristics of the development of arrhythmia in patients with ischemic heart disease].

ACTH, hydrocortisone and cyclic nucleotides levels, beta-receptors sensitivity, lipid peroxidation (LPO), antioxidant system, hemodynamics were investigated in 93 coronary patients without myocardial infarction in the presence of cardiac arrhythmia and after its correction. The clinical and laboratory findings indicate that it is primarily LPO activation and LPO products excessive accumulation in the blood that are responsible for arrhythmia emergence. Experimental data support these results by showing possibility of cardiac arrhythmia onset due to LPO products which raise the density of Na-Ca channels and inhibit the activity of Ca-dependent ATPase.

[Various aspects of the status of humoral immunity in patients after surgical correction of rheumatic heart defects under artificial circulation].

The serum concentrations of immunoglobulins A, M, and G were studied in 70 patients with rheumatic heart diseases and in 72 patients with spontaneous and pokeweed mitogen-induced production of these immunoglobulins and mononuclear peripheral blood cells. The investigations were done before and 1-2 and 7-8 days after surgery. Some patients received myelopid in the early postoperative period in addition to the conventional methods of therapy.
