Introduction. Importance of the search effective methods of treating chronic adenoiditis in children is associated with a high incidence and risk of developing complications. Treatment of chronic adenoiditis are described in the literature, but the advantages of any of them are inconclusive, which leads to the search for additional more progressive methods.Objective. To increase the effectiveness of the treatment of chronic adenoiditis using complex therapy of non-drug methods in combination with the herbal preparation Tonsilgon N.Materials and methods. Biochemical changes in lymphoid tissue were studied on biopsy material in 111 children with chronic adenoiditis, grade 3 adenoid hypertrophy, directed to planned surgical treatment. In the preoperative period, patients were divided into 4 groups: Group 1-control group, patients who received conventional methods of treatment; 2-study group, patients who additionally used low-frequency ultrasound irrigation of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx with photochromotherapy; The third group, patients who received the herbal preparation tonsilgon N (drops) as preoperative therapy; The fourth group study underwent low-frequency ultrasound irrigation of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx in combination with photochromotherapy and took the drug Tonsilgon N in an age-related dosage.Results and discussion. When comparing the results of biochemical studies, an increase in the products of lipid peroxidation was noted in patients of the first group, which was regarded as a factor in the protracted course of the disease. The use of targeted phytoniring drugs in combination with low-frequency ultrasonic cavitation and photochromotherapy in complex therapy significantly modulates the processes of lipid peroxidation and can potentiate the antioxidant protection of cells.Conclusion. Objective data were obtained for the first time on biochemical changes in lymphoid tissue for various methods of therapy indicate the prospects of using non-drug methods in combination with a herbal preparation in the complex therapy of chronic adenoiditis.
Improvement of therapeutic tools is one of topical issues in modern otorhinolaryngology. The article is devoted to the study of the stimulating effect of physical therapy on the concentrations of secretory IgA in nasal secretions, from the entries of auditory tubes and nasopharynx in the patients suffering from adenoiditis, rhinosinusitis, and exacerbation of chronic otitis media. The increase in clinical and immunological efficiency when using low-frequency ultrasonic cavitation therapy in combination with photochromotherapy in combined treatment of these conditions was evaluated in dynamics by measuring concentrations of secretory immunoglobulin levels in nasal secretions using enzyme immunoassay technique (Vector-Best, Russia). The purpose of this study was to improve clinical and immunological effectiveness of treatment of patients with chronic adenoiditis, sinusitis and exacerbation of chronic purulent otitis media when using low-frequency ultrasound cavitation and photochromotherapy in complex therapy. The study involved 54 patients. The control group consisted of 25 patients who received conventional treatment (topical and systemic antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, unloading and elimination procedures, symptomatic and restorative therapy) and the main group of 29 people who, in addition to etiotropic therapy, received low-frequency ultrasound cavitation irrigation of the nasal cavity followed by a course of photochromotherapy. Evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment was carried out by studying the barrier state of the nasal mucosa by the levels of secretory IgA concentration by the method of enzyme immunoassay. The low-frequency ultrasound cavitation in combination with photochromotherapy as an adjunct to etiotropic treatment in patients with adenoiditis, rhinosinusitis and exacerbation of chronic otitis media promotes an earlier increase in secretory IgA concentration of nasal mucosa and entry of the auditory tube when compared to standard treatment methods. The trend to IgA increase by 14 days reached maximal values and was slightly decreased month later. An early increase in the concentration of secretory IgA in nasal secretions and the entry of auditory tube, and positive clinical results of treatment are observed when low-frequency ultrasound cavitation is used in etiotropic therapy in combination with photochromotherapy in patients with adenoiditis, rhinosinusitis and exacerbation of chronic otitis media. The results substantiate the opportunity of introducing these physical methods of physical therapy into complex etiotropic therapy, as a non-invasive and effective method.
BACKGROUND: The negative effect of impulse noise and vibration when using small arms on the auditory analyzer in athletes is less investigated and justifies the need for an extended study of volunteers with normal hearing. The study of the initial characteristics of the impulse noise and vibration effects of sports weapons on the auditory analyzer will make it possible to determine the early risk factors for the occurrence of high-frequency hearing loss in shooters by the number of shots from sports weapons and the recovery time of auditory function. AIMS: To conduct a comparative analysis of the effect of impulse noise and vibration exposure depending on the technical characteristics of small arms on volunteers with normal hearing and, based on the results obtained, unify the methods of forecasting and prevention. MATERIALS AND METHODS: At the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the South Ural State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia, 30 fifth-year students were examined following continuous recruitment of volunteers between September 2022 and November 2022. All interviewed participants gave voluntary written consent to participate in the survey and to the test level of impulse noise. Based on the current regulatory documents, all volunteers were surveyed and underwent audiological and vestibulometric studies, the technical characteristics of noise and vibration exposure as a risk factor for the early development of presbycusis were determined, and ways of preventing hearing loss through lifestyle were proposed. RESULTS: The comparative analysis of the influence of impulse noise and vibration effects showed a dependence on the weight of the small arms cartridge, number of shots, and adaptation time of the auditory analyzer in volunteers with normal hearing considering the changes in the high-frequency spectrum of increasing audiometry thresholds from the average value of indicators. CONCLUSIONS: The use of active explanatory propaganda among young people on a careful attitude to the physiological state of the cochleovestibular apparatus avoids the risk of early presbycusis development.
The original desire of all people is the desire to look more attractive by improving their appearance and the most advanced direction, in achieving aesthetic superiority, cosmetic surgical interventions have been and remain. The leading place in the patient’s desires is occupied by aesthetic facial surgery, where the most popular and not always justified is the change in the shape of the external nose. To date, the techniques and techniques for performing aesthetic rhinoplasty have reached their perfection. But at the stage of selecting patients for aesthetic surgery on the external nose, doctors always face certain difficulties. The most common problems for plastic surgeons are created by patients with dysmorphophobia where, for example, the main motive for persons with dysmorphomania to make rhinoplasty is dissatisfaction with the size and shape of their own nose, which, in their opinion, prevents them from achieving success in their personal life, building a career, etc. Other patients with dysmorphophobic syndrome have low self-esteem, in their opinion, the ugly shape of the nose prevents marriage etc. In this context, an unsuccessful example of performing aesthetic rhinoplasty for a patient whose anamnesis was aggravated by polypous rhinosinusitis and bronchial asthma with an uncontrolled course is given. A brief review of the literature and presented clinical examples substantiate the need to address a number of important questions at the stages of selection and planning of aesthetic rhinoplasty: does the patient have mental disorders; what are the true reasons motivating the patient for surgery; whether there are any diseases of the upper respiratory tract, violations of the architectonics of the deep sections of the nasal cavity, preventing operations, etc.
