[Analysis of the effectiveness of the spa and health resort-based treatment of the patients presenting with broncho-pulmonary pathology at the southern coast of the Crimea depending on the period of flowering of Mediterranean Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens)].

Aim: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of pollen of Mediterranean Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) on the effectiveness of the spa and health resort-based treatment (SHRT) of the patients with broncho-pulmonary pathology at the southern coast of the Crimea (SCC).

Material And Methods: This article presents the results of the analysis of the data on 122 patients presenting with broncho-pulmonary pathology who received SHRT under the conditions of the Southern Coast of the Crimea. Fifty one (41.

[Topical problems and concepts of development of military otorhinolaryngology].

One of the primary objectives of military otorhinolaryngology is to provide specialized otorhinolaryngological aid to the sick,wounded, and injured servicemen during local armed conflicts and in times of peace. The military forces of the Russian Federation must have up-to-date, mobile, readily available, and many-level otorhinolaryngological service. The concept of further development of this service has been elaborated to ensure its balanced and sustainable functioning.

[The application of computed stabilometry for the diagnostics of vestibular disorders following stapedoplasty and for the estimation of the functional status in man].

The present work was designed to estimate changes in the quality of the equilibrium function (QEF) and dynamic stabilization indices (DSI) of the vertical position of the body in comparison with the traditional stabilometric characteristics (the length and the area of statokinesigram, mean radius of body deviation, average linear centre of foot pressure displacement velocity). The computed stabilometric technique was used to study the equilibrium function in the patients (n=133) presenting with otorhinolaryngological problems and requiring the surgical treatment. It was shown that selected stabilometric characteristics (such as QEF and DSI) may be useful for control of the efficacy of the treatment of surgical patients; moreover, they can be applied to the evaluation of dynamics of the patients' health status during the postoperative period.

[The stabilometric evaluation of resistance to motion sickness in man].

This work was designed to develop a mathematical model based on the results of computed stabilometry in the subjects differing in the degree of resistance to motion sickness. The model is designed for the purpose of instant diagnostics in the course of occupational selection. Stabilometric characteristics of 61 men aged from18 to 24 years were compared with those obtained by the method of continuous cumulation of Coriolis accelerations.
