ABSTRACT
Such congenital defects as periauricular fistulas are not rare in children. In typical position of the fistulas on the tragus the diagnosis is easy. In involvement of the floor, lobule and margin of the auricle, acoustic meatus the treatment, because of misdiagnosis, is often given for atheroma, lymphadenitis, tumors, eczema, etc. Valuable information for early accurate diagnosis may be obtained from detailed analysis of the disease history, thorough examination of the parotid region. Fistulas are treated surgically in the exacerbation-free period after fistulography.

Incidence of congenital defects of the external and middle ear in children is 1-2/10000. Surgical correction includes meatotympanoplasty followed by otoplasty. Surgical technique proposed by the authors provides persistant and satisfactory functional and cosmetic results.

Using biomicroscopy of the bulbar conjunctiva, 65 patients, aged 6 to 15 years, with catarrhal and purulent forms of acute and chronic maxillary sinusitis were examined. At the repair stage the patients were exposed to laser therapy. The results give evidence that laser therapy produced a positive effect on microcirculation and reduced the potential of relapses. Low-energy helium-neon laser affected mostly vessel permeability (decrease of perivascular edema) and blood rheology (red blood cell aggregation). In terms of circulation changes, laser therapy was more beneficial in the case of acute maxillary sinusitis. Circulation lesions, that persisted after laser therapy in some patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis, can be attributed to stable morphological changes in the wall architectonics of microvessels of the nasal mucosa.

Examination was conducted of 180 healthy males 35 to 44 years of age, working as leading engineers, and of 174 patients with ischemic heart disease selected according to sex and occupation. A comparative analysis was made of the frequency of the main risk factors and some peculiarities of the labour activity and behaviour of patients with types II and IV hyperlipoproteinemia and those with normal lipid level. It is shown that a combination of known risk factors, behaviour peculiarities and conditions of labour activity is typical of patients with type IV hyperlipoproteinemia, which may promote the development of ischemic heart disease. Patients with normal blood lipid livel merit special attention. Additional factors contributing to the development of ischemic heart disease in these cases should be searched for.
