Background
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Central Asia. In 2019, crude mortality rate in the region was 348.13 per 100,000 population. Heart failure (HF) is important CVD subtype owing to even worse outcome. There has been a dearth of information on the epidemiology of HF in Central Asia.
Purpose
we aimed to describe aetiology, comorbidities, adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), and outcomes in patients hospitalised for heart failure in Central Asian population.
Methods
the retrospective analysis included 538 patients hospitalised for decompensated heart failure in a tertiary hospital from December 2011 to December 2019. Inclusion criteria were (i) age ≥18 years; (ii) hospitalisation for HF treatment. Exclusion criteria were (i) pregnancy; (ii) comorbidity with survival time considered to be <1 year on the basis of patients` medical history; (iii) acute HF caused by acute myocardial infarction, metabolic, toxic or infectious disorders. Primary outcome was one-year all-cause mortality, secondary outcome - readmission for HF at one year. Given that the data had been collected retrospectively, informed consent was not obtained, nevertheless, local ethics committee approved the study.
Results
Central Asian patients were relatively young (mean age 64.0 years), 61.2% of them were male, 77.7% had ischemic heart disease, 8.7% rheumatic heart disease, 32.2% obstructive pulmonary disease, 47.7% atrial fibrillation/flutter, 45.7% hyperlipidemia, 72.1% hypertension, and 31.6% diabetes mellitus. Use of GDMT at discharge was 76.0% for beta-blockers, 29.7% for angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, 21.2% for angiotensin II receptor blockers, 71.9% for mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. Only 3.9% of patients were implanted with a pacemaker and 0.9% with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. All-cause mortality at one year was 19.0%, with no difference between patients with preserved and reduced ejection fraction (14.9 vs. 19.9%, p=0.243). However, patients with preserved ejection fraction were less likely to experience a readmission for heart failure at one year (13.9 vs. 29.3%, p=0.002).
Conclusions
results of the analysis showed that Central Asian patients are relatively young, mostly male, with high prevalence of ischemic heart disease, and reduced ejection fraction, and lower rate of GDMT use and device therapy.

Abstract
Background and purpose Data from neuro‐imaging techniques allow us to estimate a brain's age. Brain age is easily interpretable as ‘how old the brain looks’ and could therefore be an attractive communication tool for brain health in clinical practice. This study aimed to investigate its clinical utility by investigating the relationship between brain age and cognitive performance in multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods A linear regression model was trained to predict age from brain magnetic resonance imaging volumetric features and sex in a healthy control dataset (HC_train, n = 1673). This model was used to predict brain age in two test sets: HC_test (n = 50) and MS_test (n = 201). Brain‐predicted age difference (BPAD) was calculated as BPAD = brain age minus chronological age. Cognitive performance was assessed by the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT). Results Brain age was significantly related to SDMT scores in the MS_test dataset (r = −0.46, p < 0.001) and contributed uniquely to variance in SDMT beyond chronological age, reflected by a significant correlation between BPAD and SDMT (r = −0.24, p < 0.001) and a significant weight (−0.25, p = 0.002) in a multivariate regression equation with age. Conclusions Brain age is a candidate biomarker for cognitive dysfunction in MS and an easy to grasp metric for brain health.

Abstract
A Swan-Ganz catheter during cardiac surgery offers peri-operative haemodynamic monitoring, although insertion of these catheters is not without risk. We report a case of Swan-Ganz catheter entrapment within the tricuspid valve during elective off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. The diagnosis was made immediately by transoesophageal echocardiography, thus preventing forced withdrawal of the catheter. Intra-operatively, the echocardiographically detected findings of complex entrapment was confirmed. The Swan-Ganz catheter was tightly wrapped around the subvalvular apparatus, requiring on-pump open surgical removal. This case illustrates the anatomical complexity of such a catheter entrapment around the tricuspid valve apparatus and the importance of rapid echocardiographic diagnosis to prevent iatrogenic damage.

Abstract
Background To date, the decision to set up therapeutic extra-corporeal life support (ECLS) in hypothermia-related cardiac arrest is based on the potassium value only. However, no information is available about how the analysis should be performed. Our goal was to compare intra-individual variation in serum potassium values depending on the sampling site and analytical technique in hypothermia-related cardiac arrests. Methods Adult patients with suspected hypothermia-related refractory cardiac arrest, admitted to three hospitals with ECLS facilities were included. Blood samples were obtained from the femoral vein, a peripheral vein and the femoral artery. Serum potassium was analysed using blood gas (BGA) and clinical laboratory analysis (CL). Results Of the 15 consecutive patients included, 12 met the principal criteria, and 5 (33%) survived. The difference in average potassium values between sites or analytical method used was ≤1 mmol/L. The agreement between potassium values according to the three different sampling sites was poor. The ranges of the differences in potassium using BGA measurement were − 1.6 to + 1.7 mmol/L; − 1.18 to + 2.7 mmol/L and − 0.87 to + 2 mmol/L when comparing respectively central venous and peripheral venous, central venous and arterial, and peripheral venous and arterial potassium. Conclusions We found important and clinically relevant variability in potassium values between sampling sites. Clinical decisions should not rely on one biological indicator. However, according to our results, the site of lowest potassium, and therefore the preferred site for a single potassium sampling is central venous blood. The use of multivariable prediction tools may help to mitigate the risks inherent in the limits of potassium measurement. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03096561.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has the objective to maintain the range of motion of the tibiotarsal joint and to preserve the nearby joints. However, the complication rate and failures remain quite high after TAA. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the improvement in the functional scores of the tibiotarsal arthrodesis after TAA failure. The secondary objective was to assess the specific complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS This monocentric retrospective series includes 12 patients (nine men, three women, average age 52.5 years) operated between 2003 and 2018. An iliac graft was used in all cases. The arthrodesis was stabilized either by screws or by retrograde nailing. RESULTS The reoperation was due to painful malleolar conflicts or loosening. The AOFAS score increased from 38/100 to 67/100 (51-86) post-operatively. The fusion was acquired at 3.7 months (3-6) except in two cases. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The 83% primary fusion rate is in the low average of the literature and 92% fusion rate in the high average after reoperation. All patients were improved even in two non-unions. The results of this study confirm that the arthrodesis after TAA failure is a reliable alternative to the TAA replacement. However, they are lower than those after a first-line arthrodesis.

Abstract
This review aims to assist emergency physicians in finding the underlying aetiology when a patient presents with dizziness to the emergency department. After reading this review, the emergency physician will be able to consider the most relevant differential diagnoses and have an idea about dangerous aetiologies that require immediate action. The emergency physician will also know what diagnostic steps need to be taken at what time, such as the three-component HINTS Test (Head Impulse, Nystagmus, and Test-of-Skew), which helps with distinguishing central from peripheral causes of the acute vestibular syndrome. Furthermore, episodic vestibular syndromes and chronic vestibular syndromes are discussed in detail. The five most frequent categories of dizziness are vasovagal syncope / orthostatic hypotension (22.3%), vestibular causes (19.9%), fluid and electrolyte disorders (17.5%), circulatory/pulmonary causes (14.8%) and central vascular causes (6.4%). Given that it would neither be economical nor practical to send all patients to specialists from the start, we present general guidelines for the diagnostic workup of patients presenting with dizziness to the emergency department. This review will focus on epidemiology, aetiologies, differential diagnoses and diagnostics. Treatment is described in a separate article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol relapse is often occurring to regulate negative affect during withdrawal. On the neurobiological level, alcoholism is associated with gray matter (GM) abnormalities in regions that regulate emotional experience such as the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). However, no study to our knowledge has investigated the neurobiological unpinning of affect in alcoholism at early withdrawal and the associations of OFC volume with long-term relapse risk. METHODS One hundred and eighty-two participants were included, 95 recently detoxified alcohol dependent patients (ADP) and 87 healthy controls (HC). We measured affective states using the positive and negative affect schedule (PANAS). We collected T1-weighted brain structural images and performed Voxel-based morphometry (VBM). RESULTS Findings revealed GM volume decrease in alcoholics in the prefrontal cortex (including medial OFC), anterior cingulate gyrus, and insula. GM volume in the medial OFC was positively associated with NA in the ADP group. Cox regression analysis predicted that risk to heavy relapse at 6 months increases with decreased GM volume in the medial OFC. CONCLUSIONS Negative affect during alcohol withdrawal was positively associated with OFC volume. What is more, increased GM volume in the OFC also moderated risk to heavy relapse at 6 months. Reduced GM in the OFC poses as risk to recovery from alcohol dependence and provides valuable insights into transient negative affect states during withdrawal that can trigger relapse. Implications exist for therapeutic interventions signifying the OFC as a neurobiological marker to relapse and could explain the inability of ADP to regulate internal negative affective states.

Abstract
Recent advances in preoperative and postoperative imaging have an increasing influence on surgical decision-making and make more complex surgical interventions possible. This improves the possibilities for frequently occurring challenges and promoting improved functional and oncological outcome. This manuscript reviews the role of preoperative and intraoperative imaging in surgery. Various techniques are explained based on examples from hepatobiliary surgery and neurosurgery, in particular real-time procedures, such as the online use of augmented reality and in vivo fluorescence, as well as new and promising optical techniques including imaging of intrinsic signals and vibrational spectroscopy.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is ongoing debate on which method of perfusion computed tomography (PCT) evaluation in ischemic stroke is the most appropriate for improved selection of patients for endovascular treatment. We sought to test different assessment methods for inter-rater reliability. METHODS Twenty-six patients were enrolled prospectively before endovascular therapy for acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke. Three raters experienced in stroke imaging and blinded to other imaging and clinical information independently analyzed 22 technically successful PCT scans according to 3 prespecified assessment methods applied to cerebral blood flow (CBF)/cerebral blood volume (CBV) and time-to-peak (TTP) maps: (1) visual mismatch estimate (VME), (2) Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score perfusion method (ASPECTS-PCT), and (3) quantitative perfusion ratios (qPRs): RCBF, RCBV, RTTP. Inter-rater agreement was assessed with Cohen's kappa, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), Bland-Altman plots, and global and descriptive statistics. RESULTS Significant differences between raters were found with VME and ASPECTS-PCT (P < .001) but with qPRs only for CBV (P = .03). Inter-rater agreement for VME was at best moderate by kappa statistics (.51); moderate by ICC for all parametric maps of ASPECTS-PCT (.56-.62), strong for RTTP (.76), and excellent for RCBF (.92) and RCBV (.86). Pairwise comparisons revealed less scattering of individual values with qPRs and less deviation of mean differences from 0, suggesting minor systematic deviation by any 1 rater as compared with VME or ASPECTS-PCT. CONCLUSION PCT evaluation methods used before endovascular therapy for acute anterior circulation stroke are subject to substantial inter-rater disagreement. QPRs in PCT evaluation had better inter-rater reliability than the often used VME and ASPECTS-PCT assessment.

Abstract
Abstract
Intraoperative Optical Imaging (IOI) is a neuro-imaging technique that allows the visualization of changes in optical properties of the brain cortex. Recent developments enhanced the method regarding the robustness under intraoperative conditions. However, the necessity of additional hardware still limits the use in the operating room (OR). Since modern surgical microscopes are potentially equipped with all required hardware for imaging, we investigated the possible use of such standard RGB camera for IOI. Measurements were performed on eight patients. Changes in optical properties of the cortical surface were acquired with a monochrome CCD camera (AxioCam MRm) and simultaneously with a standard RGB camera (Trio 610). Maps of cortical activity were calculated from the image data and the quality of these maps was assessed with a spatial signal-to-noise ratio. Activity maps calculated from AxioCam MRm data showed highest SNR in six out of eight patients. In two patients the activity map calculated from Trio 610 red channel performed best overall. The Trio 610 maps calculated from red channel data performed best in three out of eight cases like the activity maps calculated from green channel data, whereas the activity map calculated from blue channel data performed best in only two cases. If the color channel with the highest SNR is chosen in each patient for comparison to AxioCam MRm, the median of the SNR (SNR
AxioCam
/SNRBestColorChannel
) is 84 % (Quartile 1 (Q1): 78 %, Quartile 3 (Q3): 99%). Results reveal that the integration of the Intraoperative Optical Imaging method into the OR and surgical workflow can be further improved by using RGB camera equipment. A robust identification of somato-sensory areas seems possible. Due to the gain of information from different wavelength bands the need for intelligent evaluation algorithms is increased and should therefore be topic of future research.

Abstract
The prevalence of diagnoses, morbidity, and mortality of patients with nonspecific complaints (NSC) presenting to the emergency department (ED) is unknown.To determine the prevalence of diagnoses, acute morbidity, and mortality of patients with NSC.Prospective observational study with a 30-day follow-up. Patients presenting to 2 EDs were enrolled by a study team and diagnosed according to the World Health Organization ICD-10 System.Of 217,699 presentations to the ED from May 2007 through to February 2011, a total of 1300 patients were enrolled. After exclusion of 90 patients who fulfilled exclusion criteria, 1210 patients were analyzed. No patient was lost to follow-up. In patients with NSC, the underlying diseases were spread throughout 18 chapters of the ICD-10. A total of 58.7% of the patients were diagnosed with acute morbidity. Thirty-day mortality was 6.4% overall. Patients with acute morbidity and suffering from heart failure and pneumonia had mortalities >15%; patients lacking acute morbidity, but suffering from functional impairment or depression/anxiety had mortalities of 0%. Although the history did not allow any prediction, age and sex were predictive of morbidity and mortality.The differential diagnoses in patients presenting with NSC is broad. Acute morbidity and mortality were high in the presented cohort, the predictors of morbidity and mortality being age and sex rather than the nature of the complaints. Urgently needed management strategies could be based on these results.ClinicalTrials.gov (#NCT00920491).

Abstract
AIM Biventricular support can be achieved using paracorporeal ventricular assist devices (p-BiVAD) or the Syncardia temporary total artificial heart (t-TAH). The purpose of the present study was to compare survival and morbidity between these devices. METHODS Data from 2 French neighboring hospitals were reviewed. Between 1996 and 2009, 148 patients (67 p-BiVADs and 81 t-TAH) underwent primary, planned biventricular support. There were 128 (86%) males aged 44±13 years. RESULTS Preoperatively, p-BiVAD recipients had significantly lower systolic and diastolic blood pressures, more severe hepatic cytolysis and higher white blood cell counts than t-TAH recipients. In contrast, t-TAH patients had significantly higher rates of pre-implant ECLS and hemofiltration. Mean support duration was 79±100 days for the p-BiVAD group and 71±92 for t-TAH group (P=0.6). Forty two (63%) p-BiVAD recipients were bridged to transplantation (39, 58%) or recovery (3, 5%), whereas 51 (63%) patients underwent transplantation in the t-TAH group. Death on support was similar between groups (p-BiVAD, 26 (39%); t-TAH, 30 (37%); P=0.87). Survival while on device was not significantly different between patient groups and multivariate analysis showed that only preimplant diastolic blood pressure and alanine amino-transferase levels were significant predictors of death. Post-transplant survival in the p-BiVAD group was 76±7%, 70±8%, and 58±9% at 1, 3, and 5 years after transplantation, respectively, and was similar to that of the t-TAH group (77±6%, 72±6%, and 70±7%, P=0.60). CONCLUSION Survival while on support and up to 5 years after heart transplantation was not significantly different in patients supported by p-BiVADs or t-TAH. Multivariate analysis revealed that survival while on transplantation was not affected by the type of device implanted.

Abstract
In Germany, which is also faced with a scarcity of resources, the concept of central, interdisciplinary emergency rooms ("Zentrale Notfallaufnahme", ZNA) is being developed as an answer to the complex demands of modern emergency medicine with increasing numbers of patients and complexity of the medical conditions. This autonomous institution is the first point of contact for all emergency patients. The central tasks of the ZNA are triage and the interdisciplinary primary treatment of patients. The establishment of the ZNA includes specific facilities (treatment rooms, short stay units, resuscitation rooms, triage and management areas, integration of the premises on site) as well as specific processes (triage systems, specific standard operating procedures) and training for the staff (European Curriculum for Emergency Medicine). It could be shown that by establishing a ZNA along with all its structures the satisfaction of the patients (including shorter waiting times), resource management (intensive care capacity), and patient outcome could be significantly improved.

Abstract
Perfluorodecalin (PFD) is an established artificial oxygen carrier due to its physical capability to solve the respiratory gases oxygen and carbon dioxide. PFD-filled poly(n-butyl-cyanoacrylate) (PACA) nanocapsules are already discussed as effective artificial oxygen carriers, and their principal suitability for intravenous administration had been shown. To further elucidate their action in vivo, it is imperative to characterise their preclinical safety and particularly their biodistribution. For these purposes, intravital fluorescence microscopy would display an attractive technique in order to monitor the PACA nanocapsules in vivo, but unfortunately, it is impossible to stain the PACA nanocapsules with a fluorescent dye fulfilling special criteria required for in vivo microscopy. In order to develop such a dye, a long-chained fluorinated thiol was used to modify a BODIPY derivative that is a highly fluorescent organic compound belonging to the difluoro-boraindacene family, as well as to functionalise mesoscopic systems, such as CdSe/ZnS-quantum dots and gold nanoparticles. Furthermore, a functionalisation of porphyrin derivatives was investigated by placing divalent ions in the centre of these systems. Due to the high solubility of all synthesised dyes in PFD, it should be possible to stain PFD-filled particles in general. However, only the functionalised BODIPY derivative was suitable for in vivo monitoring of the PFD-filled PACA nanocapsules.

Abstract
PURPOSE Vessel recanalization is an important predictor of clinical outcome in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. Endovascular therapies are used with increasing frequency. There is no general agreement on the policy of anesthesia during endovascular therapy, ranging from general anesthesia (GA) to local anesthesia at the puncture site with conscious sedation (CS) as needed. The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility and radiological and clinical outcome of endovascular stroke therapy under CS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively included all patients with acute ischemic stroke who were treated with endovascular therapy over a five-year period. Data was evaluated with respect to type of sedation, conversion from CS to GA, recanalization rate, infarct volume and peri- and post-procedural complications. RESULTS There was a technical failure in 7 patients. Of the remaining 124 patients (mean age 68.8 ± 14.6 years), 65 were female (52 %). The site of occlusion was located in the anterior circulation in 94 patients (76 %) and in the posterior circulation in 30 cases (24 %). 105 patients (85 %) were treated under CS and 16 cases (13 %) primarily under GA. In 3 cases (2 %) peri-procedural conversion to GA was necessary. Primary intra-arterial thrombolysis, mechanical recanalization only, and combination therapy were performed in 60 (48 %), 27 (22 %) and 37 (30 %) patients, respectively. There were no significant differences for recanalization rate and complications between GA and CS. The mean procedure time was significantly shorter in patients treated under CS (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Endovascular stroke therapy with CS is feasible, can be performed safely and is faster than with GA.

Abstract
Reduction of S-nitrosothiols to the corresponding thiol function is the key step in analyzing S-nitrosocysteinyl residues in proteins. Though it has been shown to give low yields, ascorbate-dependent reduction is commonly performed in the frequently used biotin-switch technique. We demonstrate that the compound methylhydrazine can act as a specific and efficient reducing agent for S-nitrosothiols. The corresponding thiol function is exclusively generated from low molecular weight and proteinaceous S-nitrosothiols while methylhydrazine failed to reduce disulfides. It was possible to optimize the experimental conditions so that thiol autoxidation is excluded, and high reaction yields (>90%) are obtained for the thiol function. The biotin-switch technique performed with methylhydrazine-dependent reduction shows remarkably improved sensitivity compared to the ascorbate-dependent procedure.

Abstract
Reports about the prognostic value of IDH mutations and the promoter region of the O6-Methyl-guanyl-methyl-transferase gene in secondary high-grade gliomas (sHGG) are few in number. We investigated the prognostic value of IDH mutations and methylation of the promoter region of the MGMT gene in 99 patients with sHGG and analyzed the clinical course of those tumors. Patients with sHGG were screened for IDH mutations by direct sequencing, and, for promoter status of MGMT gene, by the methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction. A total of 48 of 99 patients (48.5 %) had secondary anaplastic gliomas (Group 1), while 51 patients had secondary glioblastomas (Group 2). The median survival time after malignant progression of all patients with sHGG and with an IDH mutation was 4 years, which is significantly longer than in patients with wild-type IDH (1.2 years, p = 0.009). Patients' survival was not significantly influenced by the tumors' MGMT promoter status, both in Group 1- 9.7 years vs. 6.1 years, methylated vs. unmethylated promoter (p = 0.330)-as well as in Group 2-1.5 years vs. 1.6 years, methylated versus unmethylated promoter (p = 0.829). In our population, the IDH mutation status was not associated with increased PFS or median survival time in sGBM patients. However, patients with secondary anaplastic glioma and IDH mutation had a significantly improved outcome. In addition, IDH mutations are a more powerful prognostic marker concerning both PFS and MS than the MGMT promoter status in those patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has become an important component in modern stroke imaging. This MR technique detects diffusion abnormalities, which can be quantified by computing apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps. ADC values are typically calculated from a set of MR images obtained with varying degrees of diffusion weighting (b-values) using nonlinear regression. However, there is no agreement concerning the number of images needed for ADC calculation. The aim of our study was to determine how many b-values are necessary to reliably calculate ADC maps. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 100 consecutive patients with clinical signs of acute ischemic stroke, 6 identically oriented and centered diffusion data sets with different b-values were acquired. ROI analysis was performed for DWI-positive lesions, normal-appearing gray and white matter, CSF, and background noise. ADC values for each ROI were calculated using a nonlinear regression model. Additionally, the CNR and SNR were calculated for each ROI. RESULTS Acquisition time was 0:39 min for 2 b-values and up to 2:49 min for a sequence with 7 b-values. The mean ADC (× 10(-3) mm2/s) for ischemic lesions was 58.29, 58.47, 57.83, 57.81, 57.58 and 54.51 using 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 b-values. Ischemic lesions had significantly different mean ADC values only for high b-values (b = 2000 s/mm2). CONCLUSION ADC values can be reliably calculated using 2 b-values. Radiologists may use the more time-efficient 2-point method for reliably estimating ADC values and detecting ischemic lesions in the daily clinical routine.

Abstract
PURPOSE Neurovascular compression syndromes are diseases caused by abnormal contact between a vessel loop and the root exit/entry zone of a cranial nerve. Compression can cause paroxysmal attacks of abnormal motor or sensory phenomena in the affected nerve. MATERIALS AND METHODS Review based on a selective analysis of the literature. RESULTS Neurovascular compression syndromes include well-established entities such as trigeminal neuralgia, facial hemispasm, vestibular paroxysmia and glossopharyngeus neuralgia but also cranial nerve disorders caused by compression due to an aneurysm, e. g., oculomotor nerve paresis caused by an aneurysm of the posterior communicating branch. An overview of neurovascular compression syndromes is given, outlining diagnostic procedures and the morphological imaging features of each syndrome as well as the changes seen after treatment are described. CONCLUSION Neurovascular compression syndromes are complex diseases. MR imaging plays an important role in the diagnostic workup of these diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously reported the results of a phase II study for patients with newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma treated with autologous peripheral blood stem-cell transplantation (aPBSCT) and response-adapted whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT). Now, we update the initial results. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 1999 to 2004, 23 patients received high-dose methotrexate. In case of at least partial remission, high-dose busulfan/thiotepa (HD-BuTT) followed by aPBSCT was carried out. Patients refractory to induction or without complete remission after HD-BuTT received WBRT. Eight patients still alive in 2011 were contacted and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality-of-life questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 were carried out. RESULTS Of eight patients still alive, median follow-up is 116.9 months. Only one of nine irradiated patients is still alive with a severe neurologic deficit. In seven of eight patients treated with HD-BuTT, health condition and quality of life are excellent. MMSE and QLQ-C30 showed remarkably good results in patients who did not receive WBRT. All of them have a Karnofsky score of 90%-100%. CONCLUSIONS Follow-up shows an overall survival of 35%. In six of seven patients where WBRT could be avoided, no long-term neurotoxicity has been observed and all patients have an excellent quality of life.

Abstract
Recently, we demonstrated that biodegradable poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) micro- and nanocapsules with a liquid content of perfluorodecalin are principally useful for the development of artificial oxygen carriers. In order to solve a decisive and well-known problem with PLGA microcapsules, i.e. the spontaneous agglomeration of the capsules after depletion of the emulsifying agent (i.e. cholate), coating with the ABA block copolymer, Tetronic-908 was studied. After Tetronic-908 treatment at concentrations that were harmless to cultured cells, the clustering of the microcapsules was prevented, the adsorption of opsonins was decreased and the attachment to cells was inhibited, but the oxygen transport capacity of PLGA microcapsules was even increased. The present data clearly show that perfluorodecalin-filled PLGA microcapsules must be coated before decreasing the emulsifying agent cholate to physiological concentrations, in order to develop a solution that has the capabilities to function as a potential artificial oxygen carrier suspension.
