[The importance of the pharmaceutical form and the routes of administration of B-group vitamins for the efficacious treatment of neurosensorial hearing loss].

The objective of the present comparative study was to estimate the efficacy of the treatment of neurosensorial hearing loss (NSHL) with the use of milgamma, milgamma compositum, and vitamins B1 and B2 monotherapy. The best results were obtained after the treatment with milgamma and milgamma compositum. It is concluded that the use of these preparations for the combined treatment of neurosensorial hearing loss is pathogenetically justified since it permits to achieve the improvement of the functional state of the cochleovestibular nerve and the enhancement of patient compliance; moreover, it reduces the work load on the medical personnel.

[Application of a hemostatic glue for the prevention of intra- and postoperative complications of septoplasty].

The authors describe the application of a hemostatic glue between the mucoperichondrial layers for the prevention of development of nasal septum hematoma and other possible complications of septoplasty. Analysis of the efficiency of the treatment of 30 patients by septoplasty with intraoperative application of the hemostatic glue has demonstrated the possibility of its use during surgery on the nasal septum.

[Clinical classification of benign ENT tumor].

The proposed clinical classification of benign ENT tumors is based on division of anatomic regions (the ear, nose, pharynx, larynx) into sections and fragments and allows to assess the spread of any ENT tumor. Moreover, it agrees with TNM classification. The symbols "T" and R are used which denote four variants (T1-4) or R1-4 for the tumor and recurrence, respectively.

[The condition of the middle ear mucosa in chemodectoma of the tympanic glomus at the early stage of the disease].

28 samples of tissue from the middle ear obtained at removal of chemodectoma were studied histologically. Investigation of the tympanic cavity mucosa has shown correlation between the severity of fibroatrophic changes in the middle ear mucosa and duration of the disease. Pathomorphological alterations in the middle ear mucosa at early stages of chemodectoma (stage I and II) are similar to those in chronic lingering mucositis.

[Results of the diagnosis and treatment of patients with rhinosinusitogenic orbital complications].

Examination and treatment data are available for 20 patients with rhinosinusogenic inflammation of the orbit. All the patients underwent computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses and the orbit. Nonpurulent orbital complications were treated conservatively, purulent ones were treated surgically.
