Aim: To analyze the outcomes of fast track rehabilitation program in patients with perforated duodenal ulcer (PDU).
Material And Methods: For the period 2013-2016 at the Department of Surgery and Endoscopy 206 PDU patients have been treated. Inclusion criterion for the main group (n=77) was duodenal ulcers, their dimension up to 1 cm, laparoscopic suture of perforated ulcer, fast track rehabilitation program implementation. The control group consisted of 129 patients who underwent open suturing of perforated ulcer followed by conventional treatment in postoperative period.
Results: In the main group (n=77) laparoscopic suturing of ulcerative defect with the use of Fast Track program was performed. Postoperative complication i.e. sutures failure was observed in 1 (1.3%) case. There were no lethal outcomes in the main group. Mean length of hospital-stay was 4.8 days. In 129 patients of the control group open suturing of the perforated ulcer and conventional postoperative therapy were applied. Postoperative surgical complications were absent in the control group; mortality rate was 2.3%. Mean length of postoperative hospital-stay was 8.1 days.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic treatment of perforated ulcers facilitates application of fast track rehabilitation program in emergency patients. Fast track rehabilitation protocol after laparoscopic suturing of the perforated ulcer creates conditions for early discharge and is followed by good clinical and economic effects. Recurrent peptic ulcers are noted if antiulcer therapy is absent.

Unlabelled: The article is devoted to the problem of the rehabilitation stage of cochlear implantation in patients with inner ear abnormalities. It provides a detailed analysis of the audiological characteristics of such patients and draws conclusions about approaches to interpreting diagnostic data and speech processors fitting.
Material And Methods: The track records of 80 patients with abnormalities of the inner ear development were retrospectively studied, of which 10 had abnormal structure of the auditory nerve.

At the cortical level, the central auditory neural system (CANS) includes primary and secondary areas. So far, much research has focused on recording fronto-central auditory evoked potentials/responses (P1-N1-P2), originating mainly from the primary auditory areas, to explore the neural processing in the auditory cortex. However, less is known about the secondary auditory areas.

Background: Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) can negatively affect a child's functioning, emphasising the need for interventions to improve visual perception (VP), potentially translating into improved health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
Aims: Assessing the effectiveness of an adaptive individualised game-based rehabilitation, iVision, on VP, visual function, functional vision, and HRQOL.
Methods And Procedures: Seventy-three children with CVI (3-12 performance age) were randomised into the adaptive individualised or the non-adaptive non-individualised group (3 sessions/week; 12 weeks).

Wearable nanocomposite stretch sensors are an exciting new development in biomaterials for biomechanical motion-tracking technology, with applications in the treatment of low back pain, knee rehabilitation, fetal movement tracking, and other fields. When strained, the resistance of the low-cost sensors is reduced, enabling human motion to be monitored using a suitable sensor array. However, current sensor technologies have exhibited significant drift, in the form of increased electrical resistance, if left stored in typical room conditions.

Objective: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to compare the physical activity level between individuals with and without rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP), and, in individuals with RCRSP, investigate whether biopsychosocial factors are associated with the physical activity level.
Methods: Seventy-four participants with and 84 participants without RCRSP wore a fitness tracking watch for seven consecutive days to assess physical activity (step count, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)-minutes). Additionally, participants with RCRSP completed questionnaires on their level of pain, disability, and physical activity (short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire [IPAQ]), as well as on biopsychosocial factors, including resilience, stress, catastrophizing, anxiety and depressive symptoms, self-efficacy, and social support.
