Introduction: rosacea affects approximately 10% of the world's population. It is a recurrent, inflammatory dermatosis that is difficult to deal with despite treatment. Material and methods: literature review from PubMed databases from 2017-2022. Conclusions: It is very difficult to find the cause of acne lesions. What is certain is that various factors overlap: genetic, environmental, immunological disorders, intestinal abnormalities, dietary factors. New treatments are constantly being sought. The overall health of the organism is very important in maintaining the proper function of every organ, but also of the skin - as a barrier against rosacea.
Introduction: Food hypersensitivity is a pathological, increased and inadequate reaction of the body to a particular substance, the consumption of which can cause various types of body symptoms. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to distinguish different types of hypersensitivity mechanisms, resulting in the introduction of appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Results and conclusions: Food hypersensitivity is becoming an epidemic of the 21st century. This is due to many individual factors as well as environmental pollution. It is important to identify the type of mechanism involved in a given food hypersensitivity and to eliminate the causative factors, or incorporate appropriate treatment. Understanding this forms the basis of therapy. Methods: Data for the article were retrieved using PubMed setting the time descriptors to 2014-2020.
Introduction: COVID-19 is an acute respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It attacks the respiratory system in particular, however, it can also lead to gastrointestinal or neurological diseases. The disease leads to numerous neurological complications. Material and method: the purpose of this study is to review the neurological and neuropsychological complications that have arisen as a result of COVID-19 outbreak. The literature available on the PubMed scientific platform was reviewed. Time descriptors were set for 2020-2022. Results: Neurological symptoms are mainly due to cerebral hypoxia due to respiratory failure. These include encephalitis, meningitis, encephalopathies, seizures, disorders of consciousness, smell, taste and vision, among others. Neuropsychological complications can also occur. Conclusions: Pulmonary abnormalities, neurological complications and exercise intolerance were frequently identified complications among COVID-19 survivors. The main neurological symptoms reported were fatigue, concentration changes, memory loss, and sleep disturbances. In contrast, the longest-lasting complications were fatigue, loss of concentration or memory, weakness, pain and dizziness. Keywords: "COVID-19", "postcovid neurological symptoms", "neurological complications".
Background: Botulinum toxin (BT) is primarily known for its aesthetic applications, but there are many opportunities to use the toxin for the prevention and treatment of various other conditions. BT is not very widespread in otolaryngology practice, but can be effective in many diseases. The TB mechanism is related to the blockade of the muscular plate or the glandular one and is therefore effective in various muscular disorders and autonomic secretory disorders. Aim: The purpose of this work is to review the applications of botulinum toxin in otolaryngology. Material and methods: Scientific publications on the Pubmed platform were reviewed using the keywords: „botulinum toxin” and „otolaryngology”, and time descriptors were set for 2012–2022. Results: Botulinum toxin is an effective and safe treatment that causes minor and transient side effects, and its duration of action varies depending on the condition for which it is used (from 3–6 months on average, up to several years in Lucia Frey syndrome). This is the first-line treatment in Lucia Frey syndrome, laryngeal dystonia and synkinesis. The most common otorhinolaryngological indications, discussed in the following paper, in which botulinum toxin is one component of treatment include Lucia Frey syndrome, salivary fistulas, excessive salivation syndromes, laryngeal dystonia, vocal tremor, vocal granuloma, synkinesis in facial nerve palsy, dysphagia, and an interesting new indication for the use of the toxin in the treatment of resistant rhinitis. The following paper reviews the treatment protocols with botulinum toxin for the aforementioned indications and includes information such as management, dosage, injection sites. The study provides an introduction for ENTs interested in introducing botulinum toxin into their practice, as well as updates practical information for those already practicing. Conclusions: Botulinum toxin is a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of non-aesthetic indications in otorhinolaryngology.
Introduction : Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a group of neurodegenerative disorders whose main feature is speech and language dysfunction. There are three main forms of PPA - non-fluent variant - agrammatic (nfvPPA), semantic variant (svPPA) and logopenic variant (lvPPA). These include the canonical syndromes currently recognized by consensus diagnostic criteria. . Material and method : An overview of language disorders in primary progressive aphasia is presented. The impact on the conversation process and the patient's quality of life assessment was evaluated. The work was based on scientific publications posted on the scientific platform PubMed. Results : In order to diagnose PPA, criteria must be met, i.e., language difficulties are the main feature of the clinical picture, language difficulties are the main cause of disability in daily life, and that aphasia is the most significant disorder in the initial period of the disease. Conclusions : PPA significantly affects both the production and comprehension of speech. It affects the idea, content, construction and delivery of the patient's speech. In addition, it causes significant difficulties in the repetition of speech, both full sentences and words alone. Keywords : "speech disorders", "aphasia", "dysarthria", "primary progressive aphasia".
