Abstract The gut microbiota, a complex ecosystem of billions of microorganisms in the human digestive tract, plays a crucial role in maintaining health. Recent studies have highlighted a bidirectional communication pathway called the gut-brain axis between the gut and the brain. This communication is significantly influenced by gut microbiota and its interactions with the immune system, which can affect brain function and contribute to inflammation. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of [...] |

Relationship of Retroelements with Antiviral Proteins and Epigenetic Factors in Alzheimer's DiseaseAbstract Genetic factors such as allelic variants of the PSEN1, PSEN2, APP, and APOE genes play an important role in Alzheimer's disease development. Still, they cannot explain all cases of the disease and cannot form the basis for effective treatment methods for the pathology. Alzheimer's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease, so identifying new mechanisms of pathogenesis may reveal new ways of treating it. Since Alzheimer's disease is associated with aging, the hypothesis is [...] |

Abstract This review examines the effectiveness of integrating botulinum toxin type A (BONT-A) with various rehabilitative strategies in treating spastic diplegia in children. The studies analyzed consistently demonstrate significant reductions in spasticity and improvements in gait when BONT-A is combined with interventions such as intensive physical therapy, serial casting, electrical stimulation, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and robotic-assisted gait training. The findings underscore the impor [...] |
