Aims: This case series was completed to determine the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary (occupational and physical therapy) approach to treating constipation and fecal incontinence in children. Non-pharmacological therapies for treating constipation and incontinence are showing potential benefits, especially for children not responding to standard medical treatment, which involves oral laxatives for fecal dis-impaction (cleanout) and maintenance dosing to prevent further impaction.
Methods: A retrospective chart review, surface electromyography (sEMG) biofeedback, and parent and child reports of progress was completed for two children ages 4 and 10 years old.

Objectives: Computed tomography (CT) is commonly used to noninvasively examine mummified remains, but can have resolution limitations when analyzing smaller mummified specimens, such as fetal mummies. This short report determines if the enhanced resolution of micro CT improves the anatomical analysis of mummified fetal anatomy.
Methods: A fetal mummy from an anatomical collection was scanned by a micro CT at a resolution of 0.
