[Antioxidants and hyperbaric oxygenation in the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss in children].

Efficiency of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in combination with antioxidants was studied in 36 children aged 1-14 years with neurosensory hypoacusis vs standard treatment. A course of HBO consisted of 10 sessions (1.4 atm) for 40 min.

[Ozone therapy in patients with chronic purulent frontal sinusitis].

Inflammatory diseases of the front sinuses, rather common now, run often an atypical complicated cpirse. 102 patients with chronic purulent frontal sinusitis received treatment consisting in irrigation of the paranasal sinuses with ozone-oxygen mixture. A total of 5-7 procedures were given (one course).

[Ozone therapy in patients with chronic purulent rhinosinusitis].

102 patients with chronic purulent rhinosinusitis were treated with irrigation of the paranasal sinuses with ozone-oxygen mixture. A total of 5-7 procedures were performed. 30 control patients were treated conventionally.

[Correlation between clinical course and otitis media purulenta chronica and tonicity of autonomic nervous system].

The study of the autonomic status of the body in 38 patients with different forms of chronic purulent otitis media (CPOM) has demonstrated that patients with exacerbation or complication of CPOM were for the most part sympathotonics and normotonics. The former had more persistent disease with more frequent recurrences.

[Characteristics of the course and treatment of inflammatory nasal and paranasal sinus diseases in pregnancy].

The authors report quantitative and qualitative characteristics of nasal and paranasal diseases in 139 pregnant women. Acute purulent maxillary sinusitis was associated with relative T-cell immunodeficiency with unbalance of the regulatory cells. It is concluded that treatment of the above conditions in pregnancy should be conducted without damage to the fetus and include immunocorrection.

[Electron microscopy of the spiral limbus and notch in the normal state and in chronic keltane poisoning].

Results of electron microscopic examinations of the membraneous cochlea of 6 untreated rats and 36 rats fed with keltane (chloroorganic pesticide) at a 1/20 LD50 dose are presented. Biosamples were withdrawn 30, 60 and 120 days after onset of treatment. In the spiral limb (SL) area, light or dark cells, fibroblasts, fibrillar structures, and blood capillaries were discerned.
