To investigate the effect and efficacy of traditional Chinese and western medicine combined with lung rehabilitation training on pulmonary function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) complicated with chronic cor pulmonale. ⋯ Traditional Chinese and western medicine combined with lung rehabilitation training displayed better results on lung function and curative effect than conventional western medicine combined with lung rehabilitation training in patients with COPD complicated with chronic cor pulmonale (Tab. 8, Ref. 43).

The MILOS concept binds the benefit of the sublay mesh augmentation in the way of functional and morphological reconstruction of the abdominal wall without the need to use penetrating fixation elements and with the benefits of minimal surgical access. The transhernial approach is carried out at low cost with standard laparoscopic instruments. ⋯ Our experience with this new hernia repair shows that this treatment possibility is feasible for general use also in small district departments without the need to use of robotic technology. This skill will be necessary for future F.E.B.S AWS (Tab. 2, Fig. 3, Ref. 15). Text in PDF www.elis.sk Keywords: incisional hernia, epigastric hernia, MILOS, Mini- or Less-open sublay operation, rectus diastasis, sublay mesh, uniport, abdominal wall surgery.

Background: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a relatively common complication, occurring in 5% of cases after injury or surgery, particularly in the limbs. The incidence of CPRS is around 5-26/100 000. The latest revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11) now categorizes CRPS as a primary pain condition of multifactorial origin, rather than a disease of the skeletal system or the autonomic nervous system. ⋯ Conclusion: The modern principles for the diagnosis and treatment of CRPS consider both, physiological and psychological mechanisms, with the primary goal of restoring function and participation. More research is needed to strengthen the evidence base in this field.
