Clinical Trial[The use of intravascular hypothermia to correct intracranial hypertension in patients with severe traumatic brain injury].
Assess to impact hypothermia on ABP, CPP, ICP and cerebral autoregulation. Material and methods. 14 patients with TBI (GOS<9) underwent hypothermia by Thermogard system within 32-35 °C (Zoll, USA). ICP was measured intraparenchymal by Codman sensor. ⋯ Hypothermia is an effective method for correction of intracranial hypertension. Hypothermia can use as a additional option of intensive care during refractory intracranial hypertension. Rewarming phase is the most dangerous time on the re-development of intracranial hypertension and disruption of autoregulation.

[The evidence-based neurointensive care: what's next?].
The work is devoted to the analysis of modern trends of process of cognition in neurointensive care. In particular, considered the emergence and development of the method of "evidence-based medicine" in the treatment of patients with diseases and injuries of the brain. ⋯ The authors propose to combine the "evidence" data and the "classical style" of treatment, which involves individual clinical judgment based on knowledge of the pathophysiology and pathomorphology, intelligent use of technology, retrospective analysis of the beneficial and adverse effects of certain methods, creation of a special data bank of "natural" course of events, the development of individual prognostic model. The authors believe that the use of standards is more appropriate during acute illness and trauma, and the classic style is better for chronic situation.

Comparative Study[A comparative analysis of the effectiveness and potential of endoscopic and microsurgical resection of disc herniations in the lumbosacral spine].
The issue of advantage of endoscopic treatment of spinal disc herniations is debatable. Throughout the development, endoscopic technologies have been compared to microsurgical methods. The two-year experience of applying endoscopic methods was analyzed. ⋯ It was noted that there were no significant instrumental limitations for using endoscopic techniques, while angled optics and excellent color rendition enable better visualization of the surgical wound structures and more efficient use of the approach space. Given that the technical characteristics and capabilities of this method are not inferior to those of the microsurgical technique, the former technology can be used instead of the standard technique for removing intervertebral disc herniations. Furthermore, the technical capabilities of the method allow performing wide decompression of the neural structures during surgery, which can be used to treat spinal stenoses.

[Experience of surgical management of trigeminal schwannomas that simultaneously spread to the middle and posterior cranial fossae].
trigeminal schwannomas account for 0.07-0.36% of all intracranial tumors and 0.8-8% of all intracranial schwannomas. Different surgical approaches are used depending on the topographic anatomical variant of the tumor. Dumbbell-shaped tumors that spread both to the middle and posterior cranial fossae are the most challenging ones in terms of their resection. ⋯ LETEA is an effective approach that allows resection of tumors from the middle cranial fossa and the cavernous sinus. Combined with RSA, this approach can be used for two-stage resection of dumbbell-shaped trigeminal schwannomas.
