“…VR sickness belongs to motion sickness, in which spatial perception is disturbed, and nausea, vomiting, and dizziness occur because of discrepancies in vestibular information important for spatial recognition, audiovisual information, and depth perception information. 9 26 The incidence of symptoms can be reduced by instructing users to avoid long-term use and rapid movement.…”

Anatomy education is a crucial part of the curriculum for medical students, and it is essential for surgeons to perform safe surgery. The anatomy of the sinus cavity is complicated and cannot be easily understood through cadaver dissection practice and reading of surgical anatomy textbooks. Therefore, the development of methods to effectively teach the anatomy of such complex structures is essential for performing safe medical procedures. This study aimed to investigate whether the use of virtual reality (VR) in an educational course on paranasal sinus anatomy could contribute to the understanding and learning efficiency of dissection of the complex sinus anatomy. We devised a system to observe the paranasal sinuses in the VR space by polygonizing the shape of the sinus cavity using computed tomography images of the sinuses. Medical students moved around the VR space and viewed the sinuses from different angles using the VR system; notably, this is impossible in a conventional anatomy laboratory. A questionnaire was administered to 27 medical students (15 men and 12 women; mean age, 24.9 years) to evaluate their understanding of the sinus anatomy and the number of times they had experienced VR and used VR systems. We found that more than 70% of the students had never used VR before, but they could easily use it even if they were unfamiliar with the operation of the VR system, and the learning process was enjoyable and efficient. Thus, the VR application could be a useful tool for educating medical students.

Mucoactive therapy for impaired respiratory function in children with acute bronchitis Purpose of the study. Increasing the efficiency and safety of therapy of the bronchi secretoryevacuation disorders in acute bronchitis with impaired respiratory function in children by using a medication with minimal effect on the cardiovascular system. Materials and methods. The study included 60 children aged 6 to 11 years, suffering from acute bronchitis for 1–2 days. Formed 2 groups of observation (30 children in each group): 1st group (main) – children receiving phytopreparation for 10 days in the complex therapy of the bronchi secretory-evacuation disorders in acute bronchitis with impaired function of external respiration; 2-nd group (comparison) – children receiving ambroxol. The dynamics of the severity of bronchitis was assessed according to the BSS scale (0–20 points). Results. The clinical symptoms of acute bronchitis according to the BSS scale were significantly faster and more effective in the group of children taking the herbal remedy already on the 4-th day of therapy. In the group of patients taking phytopreparation, there was an improvement in objective indicators of respiratory function according to spirography data. In children of the 1st group, the period of recovery is accompanied by the normalization of indicators of the functioning of the autonomic nervous system and the predominance of eutonia against the background of a decrease in the number of registrations of parasympathicotonia. Conclusions. Treatment of acute bronchitis in children using a phytopreparation normalizes the indices of autonomic regulation and functioning of the cardiovascular system, which contributes to a faster and more effective relief of clinical symptoms with the restoration of the function of external respiration. Keywords: children, bronchitis, spirography, treatment

The central nervous system controls autonomic function through interconnected areas distributed throughout the neural axis known as central autonomic network (CAN). Central nervous systems are organized and control functions of the body and secretion of brain neurotransmitter. The autonomic nervous system includes all regions controlling autonomic, unconscious, and involuntary functions in body homeostasis. Vagal nerve is the longest and most complex nerve of the autonomic nervous system and plays a role in regulating innervation in the larynx. Altered vagal nerve activity caused by impaired autonomic regulation was thought to be responsible for clinical entities related to laryngology diseases, such as laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), chronic cough (CC), and vocal cord dysfunction (VCD). This chapter reviews the pathogenesis and clinical findings of laryngeal disease related to autonomic nerve dysfunction.
