The paper considers the anatomy and physiology of cerebral venous circulation, the main types of its clinical manifestations, diagnostic principles, and treatment approaches. Possibilities of using L-lysine escinate are shown.

Surgical treatment in patients with inguinal hernias remains one of the most relevant problems in abdominal surgery. The authors consider general current approaches to surgical treatment for inguinal hernias in terms of their efficiency and safety.

Pronoran is one of the effective dopamine receptor agonists. It may be successfully used for the therapy of both early- and late-stage Parkinson’s disease, by improving day-to-day motor activity in patients and their quality of life.

The investigation has shown the high efficiency of a combination treatment option using the metabolic probiotic BACTISTATIN® to treat disseminated microbial eczema, by significantly reducing the severity of the disease.

Whether baclofen may be used in the occurrence of muscle tone syndrome in patients with dorsopathy has been studied. Combination treatment with myorelaxants has been shown to be effective in patients with spondylogenic radicular ischemia due to degenerative and dystrophic changes in the spine.

Comparative analysis of ECG frequency-power characteristics at resting and after 3-minute hyperventilation showed that patients with respiratory panic attacks, unlike those with the typical pattern of attacks and healthy examinees, were observed to have higher slow wave activity with в-rhythm hypersynchronization in the temporal-central region.

Biochemical tests and morphological studies were performed in patients with hypothyroidism showed fetoplacental circulatory dysfunction; pathohistologically revealed changes in the vascular bed, uterus, and placenta may lead to severe maternal and fetal metabolic and ischemic disorders.

This article describes the best practices of prosthetic treatment of patients with oral mucosa diseases. Research conducted at the First Moscow State University named Sechenov I., department of Prosthetic Dentistry revealed low patients' awareness of rules of use and care of orthopedic structures. This in turn affects the deterioration of patients' life as well as growth of oral mucosa diseases. The article proposes methods of prevention and treatment of these pathologies that improve the situation.

The paper describes an observation of a female patient with moderate cognitive impairments and coronary heart disease before and after aortocoronary bypass surgery, who perioperatively used citicoline (Ceraxon) as an agent of neuroprotection to reduce cognitive deficit.

Seventy-five male and female patients aged 60.1±10.7 years with coronary heart disease (CHD) and unstable angina were examined. A group of patients with hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis (HSCS) was identified by selective coronary angiography. Higher levels of atherogenic lipid fractions were found in the patients with unstable angina and HSCS than in those without HSCS, with the equivalent activation of markers for a systemic inflammatory response and with endothelial dysfunction as plasma endothelin 1 hyperproduction being in the patients of both groups. There were multiple direct correlations between the levels of atherogenic lipid fractions, inflammatory markers, and the degree of coronary artery atherosclerotic stenosis.

Women with type 2 diabetes mellitus, asthma, and their concurrence were found to have hyperleptinemia, hyperresistenemia, a trend for decreased adiponectin levels in the presence of subclinical inflammation, and obvious insulin resistance with compensatory hyperinsulinemia and atherogenic dyslipidemia.

The concept «pattern of painful sensations» encompasses the elucidation of the location of pain, its nature, intensity, incidence, constancy or periodicity, irradiation; the identification of factors causing pain appearance or intensification and those reducing pain; the detection of concomitant pain symptoms.
