mAterIAL AND metHoDS Objective of this study is to evaluate diagnostic potentials of NLSresearch and identifying of NLS-graphic semiotics of lung cancer various forms. NLS-research was carried out by hardware-software system «Metatron»-4025 with «Metapathia GR Clinical» software that allows us to carry out 3D visualization of organs and histological substrates, carry out spectral-entropy analys...

OBJECTIVE To assess the treatment results of radiosurgery for brain stem arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and to seek optimal dose and treatment volume prescription for these lesions. METHODS The clinical and radiological data of 30 consecutive patients with brain stem AVM treated with gamma knife radiosurgery were retrospectively reviewed with a mean follow up period of 52.2 months. There ...

A case of Serratia marcescens meningitis in a 66-year-old man is reported. The infection occurred 4 weeks after apparently successful otic surgery, and a nidus of infection in the middle ear was established at autopsy. This is the second case of S. marcescens meningitis following ear surgery reported in the English-language literature.

This account provides information on all aspects of the biology Neottia nidus-avis (L.) Rich. (Bird's-nest Orchid) that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics presented within standard framework Biological Flora Britain Ireland: distribution, habitat, communities, responses biotic factors, environment, structure physiology, phenology, reprodu...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We investigated the use of 2-poly-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate (2-P-HEMA) as an embolic agent in swine arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). METHODS In seven mini swine, experimental AVMs were created surgically. The aim of treatment was complete embolization of the nidus compartment filled by the feeding artery, without brain embolization. Six animals received pure liquid 2...

Osteoid osteoma was first described as a distinctive benign osteoblastic tumour by Jaffe (1935). Lichtenstein (1965) defined osteoid osteoma as a small, oval or roundish tumour-like nidus composed of osteoid and trabeculae of newly formed bone deposited within a substratum of highly vascularised osteogenic connective tissue. This lesion has been reported in almost every bone but not previously ...

We report a case of diffuse arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in basal ganglia and an internal capsule associated with venous aneurysms. The patient was treated by embolization guided by CT angiography to target the basal ganglionic portion of the AVM while sparing the internal capsule. Our case demonstrates that it is possible to obtain good quality intranidal angiograms by using CT angiography...
