[Influence of an exercise therapy on primary chronic constipation].

During the primary chronic constipation increase of exercise stress is a commonly recognized recommendation, but not existence of specific schemes and forms of tension, restricts wide usage of this method. Subject of the research was the evaluation of exercise therapy effectiveness in patients with primary chronic constipation. The research was carried out on 15 patients, who were undergone exercise therapy sessions for their stoutness and spinal pathologies.

[The effect of electrical stimulation of the cerebellar fastigial nuclei on local blood flow in the brain].

In acute experiments on unanesthetized cats, continuous recording revealed an increase (30%) as well as a decrease (70%) in local blood flow in the sensomotor cortex of the left hemisphere in response to electrical stimulation (30 Hz, 30 V) of the contralateral fastigial nuclei of cerebellum. The stimulation seems to lead to a primary vasoconstriction as well as vasodilatation of the blood vessels regulating the local cerebral blood flow.

[Electrical activity of the cerebellum during the sleep-wakefulness cycle].

Spontaneous electrical activity of the cerebellar cortex and fastigial nuclei was studied in unrestrained cats with implanted electrodes. Rhythmic (4-8/s) electrical activity was recorded in the fastigial nuclei of the cerebellum in paradoxical sleep as well as during some fragments of active wakefulness. A weak correlation between these processes was revealed by means of cross-correlation analysis of electrical activity in the fastigial nuclei and dorsal hippocampus.
