[Features of sleependoscopy in children].

Objective: To describe the technique and determine the indications for sleep endoscopy in children.

Material And Methods: This study included 35 children, the average age of 5 years 1 month ± 3 years 4 months (from 1 year 6 months to 14 years 5 months). All children underwent standard polysomnography and sleep endoscopy.

[The evolution of methods of active irrigation of paranasal sinuses in rhinosinusitis. Part 2].

Inflammation of the paranasal sinuses significantly reduces the quality of life of people and causes marked economic damage to society. The striking clinical picture of sinusitis has always forced doctors to study the disease, as evidenced by the first records of the anatomy and diseases of the paranasal sinuses by doctors in ancient Egypt more than 3.000 years BC.

[A case of isolated sphenoid osteoma with suppurative sinusitis in a 15-year-old child].

Isolated sphenoid osteomas are very rare even in adults. There are extremely few publications on pediatric cases of sphenoid osteomas. This paper presents a case of isolated sphenoid osteoma combined with suppurative sphenoiditis in a 15-year-old patient.

Smell Status in Children Infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Objectives/hypothesis: This study aimed to evaluate the olfactory status in children with laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 using subjective and psychophysical methods.

Study Design: Prospective clinical cross-sectional study.

Methods: This is a prospective clinical cross-sectional study of 79 children with COVID-19.

[Otorhinolaryngological aspects of the disease course in children infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus].

Recently, almost all over the world attention of doctors and scientists is focused on a new coronavirus infection, the source of which was the causative agent SARS-CoV-2. In this regard, early diagnosis, including on the basis of symptoms from ENT organs, is crucial. A brief analysis of the available literature on the peculiarities of ENT organs manifestations in patients with SARS-CoV-2 is given.

[Features and effectiveness of endoscopic sinus surgery in children].

The concept of modern functional endonasal sinus surgery in the pediatric population is based on sparing, minimally invasive interventions within the middle nasal passage, mainly the ostiomeatal complex, performed taking into account modern knowledge of the physiology of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, as a result of which normal can be restored as soon as possible aerodynamics in the nasal cavity; respiratory and other functions of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus are restored. The article presents the history, modern principles and indications for pediatric sinus surgery. The features of preparation, management of the postoperative period and the effectiveness of sinus surgery in the age aspect are described.

[Prospects of endoscopic otosurgery in children].

Active progress in otosurgery opens up new opportunities for minimally invasive surgeries and significantly improves the results of treatment, but a number of problems remain unsolved, including in children. Despite the general positive trend of using the endoscope in otosurgery, in pediatric practice the data are insufficient and extremely contradictory. Literary sources show that, with certain advantages, the existing techniques of endoscopic tympanoplasty are far from perfect and inferior in effectiveness to classical microscopic techniques, which also necessitates further research in this field.

[The immunological consequences and risks of adenoidectomy].

The objective of the present review article was the analysis of the potential risks and negative consequences associated with the surgical treatment of adenoids and the comparison of the potential harm to health and effectiveness of adenoidectomy for the children. It is concluded, based on the currently available information, that adenoidectomy provides an efficient surgical method for the management of the problems associated with adenoid pathology. The application of this technique based on the proper medical indications has no adverse effects on the children's health conditions and the mechanisms of immune protection.
