Article Abstract
The paper presents the method elaborated by the authors for production, storage and implantation of embryonal nervous tissue (ENT). Extracerebral implantation was performed in 33 epileptic patients aged 2-58 years. Clinical state of the patients and EEG alterations were studied. Before treatment the patients' mental status was characterized by affective disorders, dysphoria, depression, exhaustion of mental processes, varying intellectual-mnestic decrease and behavioral disinhibition. Oligophrenia as of debility was observed in several cases. After implantation the pronounced positive changes in both paroxysmal states and overall mental status were observed in all the cases irrespective of their age of the patients. These clinical changes correlated with the dynamics of EEG changes (EEG changes were not observed in 2 individuals with positive clinical effects).

Article Synopsis
- A study on infective endocarditis (IE) highlighted significant differences between patients with and without underlying cardiac conditions (UCC), finding that those without UCC were generally younger and had distinct comorbidities like malignancy and immune deficiency.
- Patients without UCC experienced more severe complications, such as larger vegetations, higher rates of valve issues, and a greater likelihood of requiring valve surgery.
- Despite the increased severity of their condition, in-hospital mortality rates were similar between both groups, suggesting that age and specific health conditions influenced the disease course rather than mortality outcomes.
Practical Aspects of novel MRI Techniques in Neuroradiology: Part 1-3D Acquisitions, Dixon Techniques and Artefact Reduction.

Background: Recently introduced MRI techniques offer improved image quality and facilitate examinations of patients even when artefacts are expected. They pave the way for novel diagnostic imaging strategies in neuroradiology. These methods include improved 3D imaging, movement and metal artefact reduction techniques as well as Dixon techniques.

Background: Epilepsy is a devastating neurological disorder that affects nearly 70 million people worldwide. Epilepsy causes uncontrollable, unprovoked and unpredictable seizures that reduce the quality of life of those afflicted, with 1-9 epileptic patient deaths per 1000 patients occurring annually due to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Predicting the onset of seizures and managing them may help patients from harming themselves and may improve their well-being.

Under the hypothesis that increased extracellular sodium induces sustained neuronal excitability with the onset and progression of migraine, this study evaluates dynamic in vivo Na fluxes in the brain of a preclinical rodent analogue of migraine. Ultra-high field Na magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 21.1 T has demonstrated potential to quantify sodium concentrations with good spatial and temporal resolution after the onset of central sensitization.

The object of this report is to review the experience with a shunt configuration that simultaneously diverts ventricular fluid and extracerebral fluid, whether subdural or subarachnoid in location, through different outflow resistances.
Methods: The medical records, including neuroimaging of patients with hydrocephalus and clinically significant extracerebral collections of low density who were managed by implanting a differential pressure type shunt, were retrospectively reviewed.
