[Auditory tube dysfunction in children. Part 2]. / Disfunktsiya slukhovoi truby v detskom vozraste. Chast' 2.

The presented literature review examines in detail the methods for diagnosing the auditory tube, the history of development of studies of the Eustachian tube and the treatment of its dysfunction in children. The issue of dysfunction of the auditory tube as one of the causes of the formation of chronic hearing loss in childhood is increasingly being identified because of the rapid development of technologies and methods for examining patients. Aim is to study the multiple etiologic factors of the disease and the need for an integrated approach to the study of this condition.

[New perspectives in non-invasive treatment of sinusitis].

A randomized multicenter study of sinuforte efficacy and safety was made in 120 patients with sinusitis. All the patients were randomized into two groups: the study group of 60 patients received monotherapy with sinuforte in a single daily dose for 7 days; the control group of 60 patients received conventional treatment for 7 days.
