The combined method of hernioplasty with the use of biologic and sunthetic implants has been worked out. 12 patients have been operated on: the "open" technique was used in 5 patients, the rest 7 have been operated on laparoscopically. The use of dura mater as an implant for hernioplasty allows avoiding tissue tension by muscle sheath plasty. By the combined use of the synthetic implant and dura mater plate, the latter assumes the mechanical load, preventing the hernia recurrence. Besides, the dura mater plate isolates the synthetic implant from the abdominal cavity and subcutaneous fat. No postoperative complications or lethal outcomes were registered.

Intracranial calcifications, particularly within the falx cerebri, serve as crucial diagnostic markers ranging from benign accumulations to signs of severe pathologies. The falx cerebri, a dural fold that separates the cerebral hemispheres, presents challenges in visualization due to its low contrast in standard imaging techniques. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in machine learning and deep learning, have significantly transformed radiological diagnostics.

Purpose Of Review: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a common brain disorder among the elderly and individuals with Alzheimer's disease, where accumulation of amyloid-ß can lead to intracerebral hemorrhage and dementia. This review discusses recent developments in understanding the pathophysiology and phenotypes of CAA.
Recent Findings: CAA has a long preclinical phase starting decades before symptoms emerge.

A 41-year-old man with a history of obesity, hypertension, and smoking suffered from numbness and weakness in both lower limbs. He was diagnosed with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and ligamentum flavum in the cervical and thoracic spine by X-rays, CT, and MRI. The patient underwent laminectomies at T2 and T3 levels, along with posterior fusion from T1 to T4, to address an upper thoracic spine lesion causing sensory deficits up to T5 and gait disturbances.
