Chronic nasopharyngitis (CNP) associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is etiopathogenetically based on the virus-induced chronic inflammation of pharyngeal tonsil. Studies using immunological methods have shown that EBV involved in hypertrophy lymphoid tissue pharynx children and adolescents, since tonsil site primary infection persistence virus. The surgery does not often resolve problem 19-2...

Violation of the ecological state environment has led to fact that center gravity in otorhinolaryngology shifted towards rhinology.

Study selection Studies published in English were selected if they were cohort studies, control or placebo arms of randomised controlled trials (RCTs), systematic reviews of RCTs, and if patients were preschool children 0–4 years of age presenting to primary care with acute cough. For study selection, the review used the symptom of cough or UARTIC defined as a cough that failed to differentiate...

Halitosis is a common and devastating condition, which may affect up to 1/3 of the population. It can be classified either as genuine halitosis, pseudohalitosis, or halitophobia. Genuine halitosis is more common and usually related to an organic pathology such as periodontitis. Malodour molecules such as sulfur compounds that arise from bacterial interactions generate the basis of oral malodour...

Management of inferior turbinate hypertrophy includes surgical options in case of failure with medical treatment and the main goal of turbinate surgery is to relieve the patient's symptoms of chronic nasal congestion while preserving mucosal surfaces with reduction of the submucosal and bony tissue. In this regard, radiofrequency volumetric tissue reduction has been a thermal technique associat...

This paper addresses one of the most contested issues in phonology: the derivation of phonological typology. I argue that the unnatural process of postnasal devoicing does not derive from a single unnatural sound change, but rather from a combination of two or three sounds changes, each of which is natural and well-motivated. Evidence from both historical and dialectal data is brought to bear t...

METHODS : In this prospective, multicenter study, children between 6 and 12 years old with a diagnosis of severe perennial allergic rhinitis received a combination of the nonsedating antihistamine loratadine and the corticosteroid b...

The breath hydrogen test is used in gastroenterological investigation, particularly for sugar malabsorption, transit time, and the investigation of small-bowel bacterial overgrowth. Several methods of collecting breath from infants and children for hydrogen assay have been described. Four such techniques (postnasal catheter, nasal prong, Rahn-Otis end-tidal sampler, and modification of a party ...

A collaborative study of 10 centres during the winters of 1973-4 and 1974-5 showed that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was the major cause of admission to hospital for respiratory disease in children under 5 years of age in industrial, urban, and rural communities. In all areas the distribution of clinical symptoms and their severity was similar, but the rate of admission in relation to popu...
