Comparative Study[Evoked potentials in patients with secondary headaches].
Characteristics of brain evoked activity were studied in patients with most frequent variants of secondary headaches: chronic posttraumatic headaches, cervicogenic headaches and vascular headaches in patients with arterial hypertension and chronic brain ischemia. The multimodal registration of evoked potentials (EP) (short-latency brainstem auditory, visual EPs to flash stimulation and cognitive EPs - P300) revealed signs of brainstem dysfunction, decrease of visual analyzer and diminished cognitive functions in most patients with secondary headaches. Based on results obtained, we can recommend a complex therapy of chronic secondary headaches with neuroprotectors and nootropics.

Review[Models of neurosurgical service for patients with hemorrhagic stroke].
Authors have conducted an analysis of surgical treatment of patients with hemorrhagic stroke (HS) in Moscow neurosurgical in-patient clinics. In 2 most advanced neurosurgical departments out of 11 studied, only 61% of necessary neurosurgical care is carried out. ⋯ The causes of insufficient amount of surgical interventions in neurosurgical in-patient clinics are specified. The authors suggest the algorithm of HS patients' selection for surgery.
