ABSTRACT

Morphometric MRI analysis improves neuroimaging of structural changes in epilepsy. OBJECTIVE: To investigate diagnostic potential of MR brain morphometry in neurosurgical epileptology. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An interdisciplinary working group reviewed the studies devoted to MR morphometry in epileptology as a part of state assignment No. 056-00119-22-00. Study subject was trials of MR-morphometry in epilepsy. Searching for literature data was conducted in international and national databases between 2017 and 2022 using certain keywords. Final analysis included 36 publications. RESULTS: Currently, MR brain morphometry allows measurement of cortical volume and thickness, surface area and depth of furrows, as well as analysis of cortical tortuosity and fractal changes. In neurosurgical epileptology, MR-morphometry has the greatest diagnostic value in MR-negative epilepsy. This method simplifies preoperative diagnosis and reduces costs. CONCLUSION: Morphometry in neurosurgical epileptology is an additional method for verifying the epileptogenic zone. Automated programs simplify application of this method.

ABSTRACT

A comparative analysis of two case histories showing the effects of COVID-19 and immunization with the Sputnik V vaccine on the dynamics of epilepsy is presented. The study was part of the "Epilepsy and COVID-19" research initiative in a cohort of patients with epilepsy divided into two groups: those experiencing COVID-19 and those immunized with vaccine against COVID-19. We present here a comparative analysis of two case histories: recurrence of seizures in COVID-19 in a young (male) patient and good tolerance of vaccine in an older (female) patient with comorbid pathology after surgical treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy. Patient K (age 32 years, male) had generalized genetic (idiopathic) epilepsy with remission of seizures for three years. On the background of mild COVID-19 the patient experienced recurrence of generalized tonic-clonic seizures with deterioration of electroencephalographic indicators. Patient F (age 59 years, female) had focal drug-resistant epilepsy with remission of seizures for three years following surgical treatment, with comorbid endocrine pathology. No side effects were seen on immunization with Sputnik V vaccine and clinical-electroencephalographic remission persisted. The results showed good tolerance of Sputnik V vaccine, with persisting remission of seizures after neurosurgical treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy in the older patient with comorbid pathology and the potential for recurrence of seizures in the young patient on the background of mild COVID-19. These results will help practicing physicians determine management tactics in epilepsy patients. Continuation of this research on the effects of COVID-19 disease and vaccination on the dynamics of epilepsy in a larger cohort is needed.

ABSTRACT

Topography-dependent tuning of water wettability was achieved on a stainless steel surface textured by nanosecond-laser pulses at different laser fluences, with the minimal contribution of the surface chemical modification. Such differently-wet neighboring surface spots were demonstrated to drive an autonomous directional water flow. A series of elementary microfluidic devices based on the spatial wetting gradients were designed and tested as building blocks of "green", energy-saving autonomous microfluidic circuits.

ABSTRACT

We offer to use optical features of surface plasmon resonance in Ag nanoparticles for jewelry application as a method for the well-controlled decoration of silver items. The novel approach of silver nanoparticles formation with sizes from 5 to 50 nm via nanosecond direct laser writing allows for controlling the reflectance spectra, thus creating a color image on precious metals with a high resolution of about 450 dpi without dyes or hazardous chemicals. Moreover, the large-scale color image can be applied in single-step processing with significant productivity of 2 cm2 per minute. This work opens a strong direction for the practical application in the jewelry industry, art, and coining.

ABSTRACT

The coloration of stainless steel surface due to the formation of spatially periodic structures induced by laser pulses of nanosecond duration is demonstrated. The period of microstructures corresponds to the laser wavelength, and their orientation angle depends on the adjustment of laser polarization. The marking algorithm for the development of authentication patterns is presented. Such patterns provide several levels of protection against falsification (visual, colorimetric and structural) along with high recording speed and capability of automated reading.
