Topicality: Chronic tonsillopharyngitis is one of the most common diseases of the upper respiratory tract. Although more and more physicians are preferring modern non-surgical treatments and abandoning the use of surgery to treat chronic compensated tonsillopharyngitis, there is still no consensus on approaches to conservative therapy. One of the modern methods of controlling the microflora of the oral cavity is the use of lantibiotics. This creates competitive pressure of endogenous opportunistic flora and viruses, preventing episodes of disease recurrence. The relevance of our study is due to the need to optimize and improve pharmacotherapy, not only during the exacerbation of the disease, but also to form a stable remission, which will significantly improve the quality of life of patients. Materials and methods: A total of 36 patients were observed in the study, who were divided into two groups with different treatments. Group 1 received classical therapy, including local sanitation of the tonsils by was hing the gaps with NaCl solution 0.9% daily from the first visit until the 7th day and taking topical combination drugs (antiseptic, local nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug – benzydamine) for 1 tab. 3 times a day for 7 days. Group 2, if necessary, received washing the lacunae of the tonsils with a solution of 0.9% NaCl, and took an oral probiotic Baсtoblis (S. salivarius K12) 1 tab. at night for 1 month according to the instructions. The McIsaac scale and microbiological examination of pharyngeal smears were used to establish the clinical diagnosis. Results: On the seventh day of treatment, there is a rapid improvement in the well being of patients in both groups. In the first group there is a more effective elimination of pain symptoms and in the second group of bad breath. However, at the time of the 16th week from the start of treatment, in the first group due to more frequent recurrences of the disease, there is a significant deterioration in all indicators. The results of the microbiological study revealed a significant reduction in the colonization of the oropharyngeal cavity by pathogenic strains of staphylococci and Escherichia coli in group 2 at 16 weeks after treatment. Conclusion: Based of the study, it can be concluded tht bacterial therapy has shown significant effectiveness in achieving long-term remission in contrast to the other study group, which was effective only during the acute period of the disease.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number in Ukraine and the world clinical cases of various forms of mucoromycosis. It can be associated with severe immunosuppression caused by transmitted SARS-CoV-2, an increase in the number of patients with diabetes, which creates favourable conditions for development of fungal microflora. Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is usually severe and often fatal if not diagnosed early and actively treated. Necrotic lesions appear on the nasal mucosa or sometimes on the palate. Vascular invasion of hyphae leads to thrombosis and progressive tissue necrosis, which may involve the nasal septum, palate and bones, surrounding the orbit or sinuses. Verification of the diagnosis is difficult due to the inexperience of doctors in working with this disease, the disease has a tendency to progress rapidly. The article describes the case of treatment of a patient with rhinocerebral mucoromycosis, which had a severe clinical course.
Objective: to define the effectiveness of forecasting of the functional result of septoplasty. Materials and methods: forecasting based on endorhinoscopy data, spiral computed tomography, formation of a spatial segmented lofting model of nasal cavity, construction of an aerodynamic model based on a unified generalized voxel tomography of the upper respiratory tract and rhinomanometry, which were conducted in 28 patients. Results: it was found that the correction of various variants of the deviation of nasal septum in more than 80% of cases significantly reduces the aerodynamic nasal resistance. Forecasting at septoplasty allows to quantify functional results, which do not always coincide with the real ones. The introduction of more highly accurate innovative diagnostic methods in the future will improve the efficiency of forecasting in rhinosurgery
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
