Aim: To define the rate and type distribution of dyssynergic defecation (DD) in patients with primary chronic constipation (CC) and to evaluate the efficiency of biofeedback (BFB) therapy.
Subjects And Methods: One hundred and thirty-two 18-to-89-year-old patients treated in the Moscow Clinical Research and Practical Center for primary CC were examined using proctological examination, colonofibroscopy, anorectal manometry (ARM), and the balloon expulsion test.
Results: Different types of DD were identified in 44.69% of the patients. Defecation disorder type 1 was prevalent (in 64.4% of the patients with DD). The positive result of BFB therapy was noted in the patients with DD and fecal incontinence.
Conclusion: The timely detection of functional defecation disorders can recover the lost function of pelvic floor muscles by BFB therapy and exclude the uncontrolled patient use of laxatives.

The largest risk factor for dementia is age. Heterochronic blood exchange studies have uncovered age-related blood factors that demonstrate 'pro-aging' or 'pro-youthful' effects on the mouse brain. The clinical relevance and combined effects of these factors for humans is unclear.

This study aimed to describe the effectiveness of biofeedback (BFB) rehabilitation in children with retentive encopresis (RE). A retrospective, single-institution study was conducted in children with BFB sessions for RE between 2017 and 2020. Manometry data and associated envy scores were analysed.

Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) refers to a class of circular, non-chromosomal DNA that has recently gained widespread attention due to its potential role in aging and neurodegenerative diseases. The generation of ecDNA is closely associated with processes such as double-strand breaks, micronuclei formation, and the breakage-fusion-bridge (BFB) cycle, all of which are integral to regulation of gene expression, genetic stability, and clonal evolution. In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease, the aberrant formation of ecDNA is closely linked to defects in DNA repair, alterations in synaptic plasticity, and neuronal dysfunction.

Biofeedback (BFB) is a rehabilitation method, which, among other things, is used for the restitution of motor and gait function. As of now, it has become technically feasible to use BFB training based on target gait parameters to improve the gait function in stroke patients. The walking patterns of stroke patients are generally characterized by significant gait phase asymmetries, mostly of the stance phase and the single stance phase.

Background And Aim: Research has documented chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) as one of the primary causes of absenteeism at work, often accompanied by the use of health insurance and healthcare services. Considering little research on the consequences of open/closed kinetic chain (O/CKC) exercises in water on CNSLBP improvement, the present study is to investigate the effects of such interventions on the electrical activity of selected lumbar muscles, pain, lumbopelvic control (LPC), ground reaction force (GRF), and psychological factors in men with CNSLBP.
Materials And Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial that involves individuals with CNSLBP between the ages of 40 and 60 years.
