The objective of the present study was to elucidate the peculiar features of acute viral and bacterial sinusitis in the children and to elaborate the algorithm for their treatment based on the results of the primary clinical and laboratory examination. As many as 224 children at the age varying from 1-17 years suffering from acute sinusitis were enrolled in the study. The following methods were employed for the purpose of the study; the analysis of the medical histories of the patients, general examination by an otorhinolaryngologist, diagnostic endoscopy of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, radiological studies and computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses, echosinusoscopy, the comprehensive microbiological and virological investigation, and evaluation of the peripheral blood characteristics. The study allowed to elucidate the main clinical specific features of acute sinusitis of different etiology including the virological one. The scoring system for the estimation of the risk of development of acute bacterial sinusitis was proposed and the algorithm was developed for the treatment of the children suffering from acute sinusitis to be used in the practical work by general practitioners and otorhinolaryngologists.

Background: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is an extremely rare type of vasculitis characterized by inflammation within small blood vessels or tissues that may cause damage to the lungs, heart, kidneys, and other organs. Here, we present a rare case of EGPA with cardiac involvement that presented with acute heart failure.

Acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) in children may be accompanied by acute otitis media (AOM) which is often associated with bacterial co-infections. These conditions are among the primary reasons that children visit hospitals and require antibiotic treatment. This study evaluated the efficacy of the nasal-spraying probiotics (LiveSpo Navax containing 5 billion Bacillus subtilis and B.

Isolated maxillary fungal pathologies involve a variety of clinical entities. These include invasive and non-invasive variants, where each has a unique pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, and approach for management. The aim of this case series is to investigate the several ways that fungal infections of the maxillary sinus might present, with the approach to diagnose and manage these conditions.

Acute coronary occlusion during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an unwarranted complication associated with high mortality. The current TAVI practices recommend a multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) evaluation of the aortic valve, the left ventricular outflow tract, and the aortic root to determine the conventional risk factors for coronary obstruction like low-lying coronary ostia and narrow sinuses of Valsalva, mandating prophylactic coronary protection or native valve leaflet modification in high-risk patients. Despite optimal anatomy, acute coronary occlusion can still occur due to multiple mechanisms, one of which is coronary embolism due to thrombus, calcium, or native aortic valve fragments.

According to WHO, dengue fever (DF) is currently endemic to more than 100 countries in various regions of Africa, America, and Asia; outbreaks have been reported in Europe. In the Russian Federation, there is a much smaller proportion of children among those infected due to the imported nature of the infection. We described a clinical case of imported dengue fever in an adolescent girl in Moscow after a 5-day vacation.
