RESUMEN
The article presents the work of a multidisciplinary team of experts from various fields of medicine to optimize the «Questionnaire for assessing chronic pelvic pain and pelvic organ dysfunction (QCPPD) of the Ryzhikh National Medical Research Centre for Coloproctology¼ for use in clinical practice. The survey of respondents was conducted from June 28 to September 28, 2021. As a result of this survey, by repeatedly making edits and clarifications during communication with respondents, the final version was obtained, which allows assessing the patient's subjective sensations by the nature and localization of pelvic pain, sensitivity disorders and pelvic organ function. The main objective of this Questionnaire is to differentiate patients with neurogenic pain from a huge number of patients with chronic pelvic pain. This aspect will allow a more targeted approach to the diagnosis and pathogenetically justified treatment of patients, including after appropriate instrumental examinations. The work of a multidisciplinary team implies a higher degree of objectification and terminological accuracy of the Questionnaire under discussion. The presented version of the «Questionnaire for assessing chronic pelvic pain and pelvic organ dysfunction (QCPPD) of the Ryzhikh National Medical Research Centre for Coloproctology¼ will be primarily used in coloproctological patients with pelvic pain problems and anal incontinence and obstructive defecation. Further studies will be directed to the clinical evaluation of the results of the work carried out.

Our aim was to present and analyze age-related changes of peripheral nerves and muscles of limbs on a huge population of healthy persons of different ages. Persons aged from 2 months to 87 years were studied by conduction studies (EMG) during the period 2009-2016 years in Scientific Research Institute of Children's Infection. Data of those 1 121confirmed healthy was included in our study. Conduction along n. Medianus, n. Ulnaris, n. Musculocutaneus, n. Axillaris, n. Facialis, n. Tibialis, n. Peroneus et n. Femoralis was registered, with latency and amplitude of compound muscle action potential (CMAP) being analyzed. There were significant differences on latencies and amplitudes of CMAPs between different age groups. Significant lengthening of CMAP latency was registered in older age groups. We marked CMAP amplitude increase from the early childhood until adolescence and later it dropped in persons aged 55 years old and older. These changes may reflect, concerning latency, the lengthening of the peripheral nerves in the age 0-25 years, and later on age-related slowing of conduction starting from 55 years. Amplitude of CMAP may rise with the growing of muscles and drop in later life with age-related muscle atrophy and fibrous changes.

Our aim was to present and evaluate age-related changes of peripheral nerves of limbs on a huge population of healthy subjects of different ages. In 2009-2016 subjects aged from 1months to 90 years were studied by nerve conduction velocity studies (NCV). Data of those confirmed healthy was included in our study. In total there were 372 healthy subjects. NCV for nn. Medianus et Ulnaris was registered, with NCV and amplitude of compound sensory action potential (CSAP) being analyzed. There were significant differences on both these parameters between different age groups. Since the childhood the improvement of conduction (which was reflected in rising of CSAP amplitudes and NCV quickening) was registered; from 40-50 years steady decline of both these parameters were observed in both nerves. Conduction studies of peripheral nerves may be implemented in gerontology for early detection of neurophysiology patterns reflecting physiological aging. Also our results may be implemented for accelerated aging detection.
