The purpose of the study to analyze the clinical, neurophysiological, neuroimaging and genetic characteristics of young children with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy and to determine risk predictors for the development of autism spectrum disorders, with the aim of forming a cohort of children in need of dynamic monitoring and early intervention. Materials and methods. Thirty-eight children aged 0–3 years with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy were included in the study. The examination included assessment of neurological status, history taking, assessment of semiology and determination of seizure type, assessment of development and screening for autism spectrum disorders at the age of 18 and 24 months, video-EEG monitoring during night sleep, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, screening for pathogenic variants by whole exome sequen-cing. Results. A feature of this group of disorders is the presence of subtle, often unrecognized epileptic seizures, which are manifested by persistent focal (60.5 %) or generalized (31.6 %) activity with medium (55.3 %) or high (15.8 %) index of spike-and-wave activity during the stage of slow sleep and the amplitude emphasis over the frontal (52.6 %) or temporal (28.9 %) lobes. According to magnetic resonance imaging, structural changes in the brain were found in 91.1 % of children, including focal or diffuse changes in the white matter of the brain in 36.8 %, hypoplasia of the corpus callosum in 21.1 %, atrophic changes in the cerebral cortex in 15.8 %, congenital malformations in 13.2 % of cases. Pathogenic variants of 35 different genes were found in the examined children with the onset of seizures during the first year of life. Pathogenic variants of genes responsible for the synthesis and repair of DNA and RNA (28.9 %) and the activity of intracellular enzymes were the most common — 8 cases (21.1 %). The share of children with general developmental delay at the age of 24 months was 11.9 %, and cognitive impairment — 34.2 %. Conclusions. It was shown that children with a history of generalized tonic-clonic seizures (RR = 2.13) had a high risk of developing autism spectrum disorders at 24 months. A positive relationship was found between the presence of mutations in genes responsible for DNA synthesis and repair (RR = 1.88) and an increased risk of developing ASD at the age of 24 months (90.9 % of children).","PeriodicalId":14476,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL NEUROLOGICAL JOURNAL","volume":"5 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141006538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally, gross total resection has primarily targeted the contrast-enhanced regions shown on T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. However, current studies suggest a more aggressive approach that focuses on removing the areas around the tumor, called supramarginal resection. This innovative strategy seeks to go beyond traditional bounda-ries, offering possible advantages for survival. However, it also raises worries over the removal of brain tissue that is crucial for important functions. The extremely poor prognosis of glioblastoma, characterized by a median survival of 10 months, highlights the pressing need for novel approaches to treatment. The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence of resection with a margin that extends much beyond the contrast enhancement on the survival of certain glioblastoma patients. The potential advantages documented in previous collections of cases are consistent with the notion of personalized surgical decision-making, which questions the prevailing approach of achieving the greatest possible removal of the tumor that is enhanced by contrast. Nevertheless, the potential neurological risks should be thoroughly evaluated. The objective of this study is to provide significant insights into improving the management of glioblastoma by examining the careful trade-off between aggressive tumor removal and preserving neurological function in specific groups of patients.","PeriodicalId":14476,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL NEUROLOGICAL JOURNAL","volume":"66 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141007666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the study was to assess the occurrence of disorders in the field of cognitive creativity in patients with minimal manifestations of leukoencephalopathy. Materials and methods. The study was carried out in the Expert Health Center in 2021–2022. We have examined 43 patients aged 45–60 years who had hyperintense foci in the white matter of the brain on magnetic resonance imaging, meeting Fazekas 1 criteria, and preserved cognitive abilities according to the MMSE and MoCA (≥ 25 and ≥ 26 points, respectively). As a control, 20 people of the same age with Fazekas 0 were examined, including 9 people employed in the creative professions. Additionally, all participants were examined using the Divergent Association Task (DAT). Statistical processing of the obtained results was performed by methods of dispersion and correlation analysis using Statistica 14.1 software (TIBCO, USA). Results. The average age of patients in the main group was 53.1 ± 0.3 years, while in the controls, it was 52.6 ± 0.5 years. In patients with signs of minimal microangiopathy of cerebral vessels, the MMSE score was on average 26.4 ± 0.2 points, and MoCA — 27.0 ± 0.3 points, while in the control group, 27.8 ± 0.2 and 28.1 ± 0.3 points, respectively (p < 0.05). In the main group, the DAT was on average 59.0 ± 1.3 %, while in the controls, it was 81.9 ± 1.1 % (Z = 3.8; p = 0.0001). The highest indicators of DAT were found in workers of creative specialties — 85.0 ± 0.9 % (Z = 2.7; p = 0.008). Conclusions. There was demonstrated that 95.0 % of patients with minimal manifestations of leukoencephalopathy caused by microangiopathy had a decrease in creative abilities (DAT 59.0 ± 1.3 vs. 81.9 ± 1.1 %; Z = 3.8; p = 0.0001). The coefficient of internal agreement of the DAT test αk was 0.7 with a reproducibility of 85.7 %, which allows recommending the method for use in clinical practice.

Given the fact that impaired upper airway patency is one of the main causes of OSAS, most patients should be treated by an otolaryngologist. This work is aimed at improving the diagnosis of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in screening studies. Screening for snoring and OSAS using the Berlin questionnaire as a result of this study allowed identifying 60 % more patients suffering from snoring and OSAS than in self-referral.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome сoronavіrus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, formerly known as 2019-nCoV) is the cause of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and was first reported in Wuhan, China. However, it is also contagious to humans and spreads rapidly around the world through close contact between infected people or through a relatively simple transmission mechanism (airborne transmission). COVID-19 is known to affect almost all systems of the human body. Initial reports suggest that hypertension may be a risk factor for susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection, a more severe course of COVID-19, and increased mortality associated with COVID-19. It is estimated that 1–3 % of COVID-19 patients experience transient ischemic attacks with a frequency similar to other coronavirus infections (SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV). The cause of ischemic stroke associated with COVID-19 is unknown, but previous studies have suggested that an inflammatory cytokine storm may cause hypercoagulation and endothelial damage. We see that COVID-19 is closely related to neurological complications because there are potential factors that can cause them. Materials and methods. Cerebrovascular diseases were analyzed in 111 patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 (n = 71) and those without a history of SARS-CoV-2 (n = 40). The subject of the study was neuropsychological and laboratory indicators. The following methods were used: psychometric — Beck Anxiety Inventory, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Fatigue Assessment Scale; neuropsychological — Mini-Mental State Examination, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Frontal Assessment Battery; clinical — neurological status; polymerase chain reaction to detect COVID-19 RNA; statistical methods. Results. In patients who suffered transient ischemic attack and ischemic stroke with a minimal neurological deficit and COVID-19, there were elevations in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, leukocytes, segmented neutrophils, while an increase in C-reactive protein was noted in all participants with cerebrovascular disease and COVID-19, with more significant levels among those with ischemic stroke. All subgroups with COVID-19 showed an increase in D-dimer and fibrinogen with higher content in patients after ischemic stroke. Also in this subgroup, the procalcitonin index exceeded the norm, which indicates the severity of the course of COVID-19 with the addition of co-infection. Data of neuropsychological tests in patients with ischemic stroke with a minimal neurological deficit with SARS-CoV-2 revealed a decrease in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment score, indicating mild cognitive changes in these patients. The level of anxiety in patients with hypertension with frequent crises and ischemic stroke with a minimal neurological deficit was above the reference values, with a slight predominance in patients who did not have COVID-19.

Chronic abdominal pain is common in 50 % of patients with intra-abdominal malignancies and has a huge impact on quality of their lives. As the number and doses of systemic analgesics increase, so does the frequency of side effects that can further worsen functional status, which is important for this cohort of patients who have a five-year survival rate of only 8 %. The purpose of the study: to assess the efficacy and safety of computed tomography-guided celiac plexus neurolysis as a method of reducing persistent, severe pain in patients with pancreatic cancer that affects their functional status. Materials and methods. The analysis of the results of 17 interventional procedures on the celiac plexus in 16 participants was conducted, sympatholysis was performed twice in one patient. Inclusion criteria: pancreatic cancer with persistent pharmacoresistant neuropathic abdominal pain for ≥ 3 months, which did not respond to medications, including opioids, anti-inflammatory drugs, and other conservative methods of treatment. Age of patients was 39 to 72 years (mean of 62.6 ± 8.2 years), 10 (62.5 %) research participants were male and 6 (37.5 %) were female. Results. Interventions were successfully performed for all patients on the first attempt. There were no cases of perforations of hollow organs, damage to blood vessels, pleural sinuses, or other structures of the abdominal and thoracic cavities. No neurological complications were recorded, and no one required blood transfusion. All study patients had a significant reduction in pain on the visual analogue scale compared to baseline, both one week after the procedure, from 9.7 ± 0.6 to 4.7 ± 1.4 (P < 0.001), and in six months, from 9.7 ± 0.6 to 4.1 ± 1.4 (P < 0.001). The average Karnofsky Performance Status Scale score compared to the data before the procedure, one week after increased from 64.7 ± 7.9 to 78.2 ± 6.4 (P < 0.001). A significant improvement in functional status was maintained up to three months — 71.2 ± 6.9 (P < 0.001). However, in six months, this indicator was 63.5 ± 6.0 (Р = 0.668), which may be related not only to the intensity of the pain syndrome, but also to other complications of the underlying disease (ascites, cachexia, tumor growth, palliative surgical interventions, etc.). Conclusions. Computed tomography-guided celiac plexus neurolysis is a safe and effective procedure for patients with abdominal pain caused by inoperable pancreatic cancer. Sympatholysis provides a long-term significant reduction in pain syndrome according to the visual analogue scale after 1, 3, 6 months (Р < 0.001) and increases the functional status of patients according to the Karnofsky Performance Status Scale in 1 (Р < 0.001), 3 months (Р = 0.023). Celiac plexus neurolysis should be considered as part of a multidisciplinary approach to the comprehensive treatment of upper abdominal pain associated with cancer in the early stages of the disease.","PeriodicalId":14476,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL NEUROLOGICAL JOURNAL","volume":"22 44","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140226804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lyme disease is characterized by a wide polymorphism of clinical manifestations, including various lesions of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Along with neurological disorders, diverse manifestations and signs of cognitive impairments are often found. Despite the high prevalence of cognitive disorders in Lyme borreliosis, data on their frequency and risk factors are contradictory. The examination of cognitive status is still not included in the standard clinical examination of this category of patients. The aim of the study is to identify predictors that may independently influence the development of cognitive dysfunction in patients with Lyme borreliosis. Materials and methods. A prospective cohort study of 69 patients (47 females, 22 males) diagnosed with Lyme borreliosis, aged between 23 and 77 (average of 49.90 ± 16.26) years, was carried out. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment was used to evaluate cognitive function. To determine the relationship between cognitive dysfunction and its potential predictors, the participants were divided into two groups: patients without cognitive impairment (n = 30) and those with cognitive dysfunction (n = 39) based on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment score. Results. It was found that risk factors for the development of cognitive impairment include: diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis at the age of 45.5 years and older (hazard ratio (HR) 5.09; 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.82–14.27]; p = 0.001), presence of neuroborreliosis (HR 5.98; 95% CI [2.0–17.8]; р < 0.001), Lyme carditis (HR 8.7; 95% CI [1.04–73.06]; р = 0.021), hypertension (HR 7.19; 95% CI [2.32–22.28]; р < 0.001), anxiety disorders.

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a frequent complication of acute cerebral infarction, which is unfavo­rable for the treatment and prognosis of patients. It can be divided into two main subtypes, hemorrhagic infarction, and parenchymal hematoma, depending on the type of hemorrhage. Although the pathophysiological mechanism of HT is still unclear, hypotheses have been proposed about the loss of microvascular integrity and impaired neurovascular homeostasis. The purpose of the study was to analyze the current scientific literature on risk factors, diagnosis, and new approaches to the treatment of hemorrhagic transformation of cerebral infarction. Materials and methods. A literature search using keywords was conducted in Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Elsevier databases. Results. Ischemic tissues have a natural tendency to bleed. In addition, the first trials of recanalization using intravenous thrombolysis showed an increase in the incidence of mild to severe intracranial hemorrhages. Symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage is closely associated with poor outcomes and is an important factor in recanalization decisions. The development of HT after stroke involves numerous interrelated pathological processes from peripheral blood cells to neurovascular units such as hyperactive ischemic cascades with increased levels of matrix metalloproteinases, excessive reactive oxygen species, coagulopathy, blood-brain barrier breakdown, and reperfusion injury. A number of risk factors or prognostic factors for HT after cerebral infarction have been identified, namely the use of antiplatelet agents or anticoagulants, infarct size, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, age, gender, heart failure, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, lipid profile, reperfusion therapy, and white matter hyperintensity load. The incidence of HT is reported mainly in clinical studies using brain imaging techniques such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion weighted imaging, and perfusion weighted imaging. Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator therapy and mechanical thrombectomy are currently the main treatments for ischemic stroke, but reperfusion injury due to revascula­rization increases the risk of cerebral hemorrhage. Understanding the risk factors and in-depth evaluation of predictors can significantly help physicians develop strategies to reduce the occurrence of HT, as well as provide insight into the pathophysiological mechanism of the disease. Conclusions. Patients at risk of hemorrhagic transformation require invasive and non-invasive neuromonitoring to help make decisions in decompressive neurosurgery for large cerebellar infarction, specific cardiorespiratory treatment, nutrition, blood pressure control, biochemical parameters, and the choice of an individual management strategy.","PeriodicalId":14476,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL NEUROLOGICAL JOURNAL","volume":"112 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140224836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
