Olfactory neurofeedback: current state and possibilities for further development.

This perspective considers the novel concept of olfactory neurofeedback (O-NFB) within the framework of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), where olfactory stimuli are integrated in various BCI control loops. In particular, electroencephalography (EEG)-based O-NFB systems are capable of incorporating different components of complex olfactory processing - from simple discrimination tasks to using olfactory stimuli for rehabilitation of neurological disorders. In our own work, EEG theta and alpha rhythms were probed as control variables for O-NFB.

[Noninvasive peripheral magnetic stimulation in the treatment of neurogenic urination disorders in children].

Unlabelled: Neurogenic urination disorders in children are often clinically represented by urinary incontinence (UI). The prevalence of UI reaches 8.6%, but tends to decrease in frequency with age.

Thiocarbonyl Derivatives of Natural Chlorins: Synthesis Using Lawesson's Reagent and a Study of Their Properties.

The development of sulfur-containing pharmaceutical compounds is important in the advancement of medicinal chemistry. Photosensitizers (PS) that acquire new properties upon incorporation of sulfur-containing groups or individual sulfur atoms into their structure are not neglected, either. In this work, a synthesis of sulfur-containing derivatives of natural chlorophyll using Lawesson's reagent was optimized.

[Prognostic Value of Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Patients With Decompensated Chronic Heart Failure].

Aim      To determine the incidence rate and the practical significance of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in the development of cardiovascular complications in patients with decompensated chronic heart failure (DCHF).Material and methods  This prospective, single-site observational study included 171 patients older than 18 years with NYHA functional class (FC) II-IV chronic heart failure (CHF) who were hospitalized for DCHF. Standard and extended 2D and 3D echocardiography (EchoCG) was performed for all patients on admission.

Integration of Vestibular and Auditory Information in Ontogenesis.

Background: We analyzed the hypothesis that the vestibular and auditory systems are integrative functions.

Methods: The study involved 383 children (5.5 ± 2.
