[A comparative assessment of neurochemical and neurophysiological parameters of cardiac surgery patients who underwent different versions of multitasking cognitive training].

Objective: To compare biomarkers of neurovascular unit (NVU) - S100β, NSE, BDNF and indicators of the brain electrical activity in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) depending on the use of different versions of multi-tasking cognitive training (CT).

Material And Methods: The study included 89 people, of whom 47 completed the CTI (postural and three cognitive tasks (counting backwards, verbal fluency and the open-ended task «Unusual use of an ordinary object») and 42 patients, who underwent CTII (visuomotor reaction and the same cognitive tasks) in the early postoperative CABG period. The patients of both groups underwent complex testing of psychomotor, executive functions, attention, short-term memory and EEG study in the perioperative period of CABG.

Electrical Activity Changes and Neurovascular Unit Markers in the Brains of Patients after Cardiac Surgery: Effects of Multi-Task Cognitive Training.

Background: There is growing interest in finding methods to enhance cognitive function and comprehend the neurophysiological mechanisms that underlie these improvements. It is assumed that non-pharmacological interventions have better results in cognitive recovery. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of multi-task cognitive training (MTT) on electroencephalographic (EEG) changes and markers of the neurovascular unit in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

[Cognitive impairment in patients of cardiac surgery with senile asthenia syndrome and preastenia].

Objective: To identify the features of the cognitive status in patients with cardiac surgery profile with senile asthenia syndrome (SAS) and preasthenia.

Material And Methods: A study included 272 patients admitted for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Screening for preasthenia and SAS in patients before surgery was performed using the Brief Battery of Physical Functioning Tests.

A Comparison of Two Multi-Tasking Approaches to Cognitive Training in Cardiac Surgery Patients.

Background: The multi-tasking approach may be promising for cognitive rehabilitation in cardiac surgery patients due to a significant effect on attentional and executive functions. This study aimed to compare the neuropsychological changes in patients who have undergone two variants of multi-tasking training and a control group in the early postoperative period of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods: One hundred and ten CABG patients were divided into three groups: cognitive training (CT) I (a postural balance task with mental arithmetic, verbal fluency, and divergent tasks) ( = 30), CT II (a simple visual-motor reaction with mental arithmetic, verbal fluency, and divergent tasks) ( = 40), and control ( = 40).

Quantifying human genome parameters in aging.

Healthy human longevity is a global goal of the world health system. Determining the causes and processes influencing human longevity is the primary fundamental goal facing the scientific community. Currently, the main efforts of the scientific community are aimed at identifying the qualitative characteristics of the genome that determine the trait.
