Doctoral School of Biology, Institute of Biology, ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary. Electronic address:
Although proctoclysis (enema) is a historically proven, safe and cost-effective rehydration method that needs little training for users and can effectively replace intravenous hydration in different care settings, it is an uncommon choice for hydration in children with fever and is often missing in official guidelines. To evaluate the usefulness of proctoclysis, this study provides a scoping review of the existing literature. The matched literature was labelled in 5 categories, identifying 6 indication fields that are emphasized in the literature on rectal rehydration.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effects of warm water footbaths and ginger footbaths on sleep quality and warmth regulation in adults with insomnia symptoms.
- 28 participants were randomly assigned to receive either warm water (WW) or warm water with ginger (WW+ginger) for two weeks, measuring outcomes like sleep quality and warmth perception.
- Results showed no significant differences between the two groups regarding sleep quality, insomnia severity, or warmth regulation, indicating that the addition of ginger did not offer added benefits over warm water alone.
- Ultimately, the study suggests that warm water footbaths are more cost-effective and recommended over ginger-infused baths for improving sleep in this population.
The Buteyko breathing technique in children with asthma: a randomized controlled pilot study.
Complement Ther Med
January 2021
Department of Psychology, University of Memphis, Memphis, TN, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Buteyko breathing technique (BBT) in managing asthma in children, as previous evidence mainly focused on adults.
- Thirty-two children aged 6-15 with partly controlled asthma were divided into two groups: one receiving usual treatment and the other receiving usual treatment plus BBT training.
- While no significant difference was noted in medication reduction, children in the BBT group showed improved lung function (FEV1) and better emotional well-being after three months compared to those in the usual treatment group.
