Anterior temporal lobe resection controls seizures in 50-60% of patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy but may impair memory function, typically verbal memory following left, and visual memory following right anterior temporal lobe resection. Functional reorganization can occur within the ipsilateral and contralateral hemispheres. We investigated the reorganization of memory function ...

AIM Comprising large areas of association cortex, the parietal lobe is part of an extensive synaptic network elaborately intertwined with other brain regions. We hypothesize that such widespread projections are responsible for producing inaccurate localisation readings on scalp EEG and clinical semiology in patients with parietal lobe epilepsies, as opposed to frontal or temporal lobe epilepsie...

Aim. To describe new data and to complement the existing information about anatomic features of hepatic vein structure in donor right lobe, formulate principles selection proceeding from vascular anatomy. Materials methods. 306 liver transplantations living related donors were performed at A.I. Burnazyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center Biological Agency Russia 2009 2021. The anatomy 518 pote...

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a common problem necessitating prompt recognition and early treatment to minimize the potentially severe sometimes fatal consequences. We presented 24-year-old girl who was admitted for chronic cough recurrent pneumonia associated with constitutional symptoms. She feverish temperature of 39°C had tachycardia tachypnoea an oxygen saturation 98%. Investigations re...

The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the reproducibility of the proton density fat-fraction (PDFF) of the liver using the IDEAL algorithm, a quantitative confounder-corrected chemical-shift-encoded MRI method. Data were obtained from 15 volunteers on four different days. The first and the third examinations were conducted on scanner one with one-week intervals, while the seco...

Mounting evidence from subdwarf B (sdB) stars in the galactic field and their recently discovered counterparts in old open clusters indicates that at least two thirds of local disk sdB stars are binaries. Our recent radial velocity survey showed that sdB binaries naturally divide into two groups with contrasting spectroscopic and kinematic properties. Those with detectable spectral lines from a...

Acetylcholine (ACh), which is synthesized from choline (Ch), is believed to hold a central place in signaling mechanisms within the central nervous system (CNS) of cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) and other coleoid cephalopods. Although the main elements required for cholinergic function have been identified in cephalopods, the transmembrane translocation events promoting the release of ACh and t...
