[Correction of microcirculatory disorders with low-energy laser radiation in children with vasomotor rhinitis].

Turbinated bone's mucosa of 46 children aged 6 to 15 years was exposed to radiation of low-energy laser for neurovegetative vasomotor rhinitis. Repeated biomicroscopy stated that abnormal microcirculation recovered after 10 sessions of the radiation even in severe alterations of the microcirculatory bed and long history of the disease. The conclusion is made that low-energy laser radiation is effective in correction of microcirculatory disorders and tissue mechanisms of homeostasis in children with neurovegetative vasomotor rhinitis.

[Natural ether oils in the treatment of chronic pharyngitis in children in pediatric practice].

39 children aged 9-15 years had the diagnosis chronic pharyngitis (CP). The children received combined treatment which comprised ultrasound inhalations of natural ethereal oils. The 5-10 min procedure was performed once a day for 10 days.

[Congenital malformations of nose and paranasal sinuses].

410 patients with malformations of the external ear or nasal cavity were examined. Basing on this evidence, clinical and diagnostic aspects of agenesias, hypogenesias, hypergenesia, dysgenesia, persistence and dystopias of the nose and intranasal structures are analyzed. Both severe and "minor" anomalies are considered.

[Diagnosis and treatment of congenital defects and abnormalities of the nasal cavity in children and adults].

In 300 patients with congenital defects and abnormalities of the nasal cavity development, physiological functions of the nose were investigated, using advanced methods, e. g. rhinofibroscopy, microrhinoscopy, rhinopneumometry, olfactometry, thermometry of the nasal mucosa, and pH measurement of the nasal mucus.

[Hearing dynamics in the children after craniocerebral injuries].

This paper presents the results of audiologic examinations of 183 children who underwent craniocerebral injuries of varying severity. After mild injury 83.5% of children showed various hearing problems.

[Organization of deafness services to children in Moscow].

In recent years the percentage of patients with neurosensory hypoacusis among those with chronic hearing diseases has substantially increased. This fact makes important improvement of surdological aid to children in Moscow. The major goals of the city surdological department are: detection of children with hearing pathologies, their treatment and rehabilitation, manufacture of hearing aids.

[Electroacoustic correction of hearing in children].

Electroacoustic correction of hearing impairment is of crucial importance for children because it improves their rehabilitation and mental development. The principal objective of hearing corrective measures is to provide patients with hearing aids selected as early as possible on an individual basis. When selecting hearing aids, many clinical and audiological factors should be taken into consideration.

[Clinical syndromes in congenital defects and developmental anomalies of the nasal cavity].

Clinical syndromes that accompany congenital diseases and developmental abnormalities of the nasal cavity are presented. The data are derived from clinical and functional investigations (rhinospirometry, olfactometry, rhinofibroscopy, rhinomicroscopy, examination of the motor function on the ciliated epithelium, etc) of 160 patients with the above pathologies. Based on the examinations, the following clinical syndromes can be identified: nasal asymmetry, nasal obstruction, respiratory, olfactory, mucociliary and reflex syndromes.

[Status of the autonomic nervous system and reflexotherapy in children with vasomotor rhinitis].

Different variants of vegetative nervous system dysfunction were identified during the examination of 86 children with vasomotor rhinitis. Based on the findings of the examination a pathogenetically-based method of acupuncture was proposed for the management of this patients' group. Acupuncture with regard to vegetative dysfunction attenuated the latter's manifestations and corrected associated psychoemotional disorders.
