Unlabelled: Despite the improvement of the surgical technique of vitreoretinal interventions, the number of recurrences of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) remains quite high.

Purpose: Evaluation of the effectiveness of episcleral circular buckling (ECB) in the treatment of recurrent RRD after vitrectomy due to progression of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).

Material And Methods: The study analyzed the results of surgical treatment of 21 patients (21 eyes) with recurrent RRD after primary vitrectomy.

Phase 3 trial of coronavir (favipiravir) in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.

Favipiravir has demonstrated efficacy against the SARS-CoV-2 virus in several preliminary studies. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of favipiravir for treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in outpatients and hospitalized patients. We conducted an open-label, randomized, active-controlled trial of a generic form of favipiravir in patients with COVID-19 confirmed by PCR-test.

[Effectiveness evaluation of the psychological support inclusion in the correction of pain syndrome in patients with movement disorders at the stage of medical rehabilitation using the virtual reality technology].

Objective: Evaluation of the comparative effectiveness of various methods of psychological support in the correction of pain syndrome in patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of big joints and spine in the process of medical rehabilitation.

Material And Methods: In conditions of hospital, the 70 patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the big joints and spine who received drug and non-drug treatment were examined. The dynamics of the psycho-emotional state, subjective assessment of well-being and pain was studied in three groups: the main group (24 patients) where the psycho-correction plan included classes with a medical psychologist using a high-tech VR tool - «Vive Focus Plus EEA virtual reality helmet».

[Current issues in the rehabilitation of stroke patients against the background of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Resolution of the Council of Experts].

The pandemic of the new coronavirus infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 has forced to reconsider the methods of rehabilitation of patients with emergency conditions, including neurology. The Council of Experts of Neurologists and Rehabilitation Therapists gathered to develop unified approaches to manage stroke patients based on a discussion of practical experience and, taking into account the scientific information on COVID-19 that was available by the time of the meeting. Stroke is a serious disabling condition that requires maximum rehabilitation efforts at all stages of medical care.

[Features of syringomyelia natural course].

Unlabelled: Rarity of syringomyelia (SM), a small amount of information about this disease leads to the lack of a unified concept of treatment and continuity between neurologists and neurosurgeons. Currently, there is no objective information on the timing, goals and objectives of surgery for SM, as well as the risks associated with this treatment.

Aim: Of this article was to study the natural course of syringomyelia and to determine in which part of the patients the disease progresses with time, how do the cysts' size change, and does this affect the condition of the patients, what symptoms appear first when the disease progresses? We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 40 patients with SM who did not undergo surgery for various reasons (lack of indications, patient refusal from surgery, surgery was not offered to the patient, etc.

[Pre-surgical Diagnosties in Patients with Intractable epilepsy].

[OPTIMIZATION OF REPARATIVE OSTEOGENESIS JAWS ON AGING (PRECLINICAL STUDIES)].

The article presents the results of pre-clinical studies of the possibility of optimization of reparative osteogenesis in postoperative bone cavities of the jaws in old rats with a peptide bioregulator of Kartalaks. Using histological and morphometric methods in the experimental study, it is shown that the use of Kartalaks positive effect on the course of the process of reparative osteogenesis of the mandible in old rats. The features of the Kartalaks drug investigated for optimization of reparative osteogenesis jaw during aging.
