[Clinical and immunological aspects of vibration therapy for sinusitis]. / Kliniko-immunologicheskie aspekty vibroterapii sinusita.

The paper analyzes the outcomes of treatment of 326 patients with acute and chronic exudative sinusitis by using low-frequency vibratory massage--vibrotherapy that has antiinflammatory, antiedematous, and antiallergic effects, promotes normalization of body defenses and may be used as monotherapy. The therapy is shown to have a marked therapeutical effect and advantages over conventional treatments. The method is physiological, reduces the number of punctures in maxillary sinusitis, leaves the skin and mucosa intact, and decreases the use of drugs.

[Low-frequency vibrations in the treatment of patients with acute maxillary sinusitis and ethmoiditis. Non-specific resistance and immunity]. / Nizkochastotnye vibratsii v lechenii bol'nykh ostrym gaimoritom i gaimoroétmoiditom. Sostoianie nespetsificheskoi rezistentnosti i immuniteta.

The authors present clinicoroentgenological and immunological evaluation of low-frequency mechanical intermittent biovibromassage used in the treatment of acute maxillary sinusitis alone and in its combination with ethmoiditis. The massage provides simple-in-use and effective impact on inflammation in the cells of the ethmoidal labyrinth. It can be practiced both in hospital and outpatiently.

[Basic principles of immunocorrection in otorhinolaryngology]. / Osnovnye printsipy immunokorrektsii v otorinolaringologii.

Immunocorrection in otorhinolaryngology is primarily local. Stimulating immunomodulators are most widely employed.

[Effectiveness of the in vivo assessment of the function of the palatine tonsils in humans]. / Effektivnost' metoda prizhiznennoi otsenki funktsional'nogo sostoianiia nebnykh mindalin cheloveka.

The method of in vivo assessment of the palatine tonsil function proposed by E. L. Popov and P. N. Pushchina was verified. Using a special unit, the lacunar contents were examined in 16 patients with decompensated chronic tonsillitis and 10 healthy subjects. It was concluded that the above method cannot be recommended for wide application while the apparatus can be well used for further study of palatine tonsils.
