Professor Naufal Shamilovich Zagidullin proudly presented the achievements of the V.S. Buzaev International Medical Centre and Bashkir State Medical University at one of the most prestigious global conferences in the field of medicine — ACC.25 in Chicago.
Report titled “Neuroprotective and Hypotensive Effects of Ischemic Preconditioning in Treatment Using MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound” has sparked great interest in the global research community. This is the result of joint work by the team from the V.S. Buzaev International Medical Centre, BSMU, and other leading specialists, published in a leading scientific journal Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
The study demonstrated that the use of ischemic preconditioning—three short-term increases in pressure using a cuff—not only prevents an increase in blood pressure during operations using MRgFUS but also has a powerful neuroprotective effect. This discovery is of tremendous importance for the treatment of essential tremor and other conditions conducted under MRI guidance.
Professor Naufal Zagidullin: “Dear colleagues, we are pleased to present the results of our joint research with Bashkir State Medical University. We are working on implementing innovative approaches in the treatment of essential tremor and other diseases using focused ultrasound. Our research has shown that ischemic preconditioning not only prevents pressure increase during operations but also has a neuroprotective effect, protecting the brain’s white matter around the affected area. This is a step forward in the field of personalized medicine. “
A special source of pride is the fact that this research became possible thanks to close collaboration with the Bashkir State Medical University — a leading educational and research center in the region. This university has repeatedly demonstrated a high level of training for specialists and researchers, and joint projects with our center confirm its status as one of the leaders in the field of medical science.
The V.S. Buzaev International Medical Centre continues to actively develop research and implement innovations in medicine. We are proud that our studies, conducted in collaboration with Bashkir State Medical University, are recognized at the global level. This inspires us to make new discoveries and strengthens our belief that the future of medicine lies in the collaboration of research, practice, and education.
Research inspired by intelligence and compassion
