[The state of vegetative homeostasis in the patients presenting with ronchopathy].

The objective of the present work was the clinical and instrumental study of the vegetative nervous system in 25 patients of different age presenting with ronchopathy. The results of the study indicate the prevalence of the vagotonic type of primary vegetative tone and the specific features of vegetative reactivity differing from those in the control subjects (n=12).

[The prevention and treatment of nasal liquorrhea in transnasal surgery of the base of the skull].

The objective of the present study was to estimate the effectiveness of different methods for the reconstruction of defects in the base of the skull. It was shown that the use of the modern technique for this purpose decreases the risk of the development of postoperative complications. The vascularized flaps can be applied to hermetically close defects in the base of the skull during surgery with the use of the extended transnasal approach.
