[Persistent dysphonia. Clinical and morphologic evaluation of marginal thickening of the vocal cords].
Microlaryngoscopic, video- and microlaryngostroboscopic findings were obtained for 160 patients with persistent functional dysphonia. A histological examination of the vocal cords with consideration of the disease history, clinical and stroboscopic picture has been conducted for 27 patients. A relationship has been revealed between the affection of the vocal cords mucosa and the disease duration.

[Rhinosinusogenic intracranial complications and their diagnosis at present].
Despite the use of strong antibiotics and sulfanilamides the frequency of rhino-sinusogenic intracranial complications do not have a tendency to decrease. Rather frequently this is explained by late diagnosis of sinusitis and their intracranial complications. Up-to-date methods of observation help to make both a thorough diagnosis of intracranial rhinosinusogenic complications and simplify the technique of differential diagnosis between brain abscess and meningoencephalitis.

Comparative Study[Laser surgery and phototherapy of the larynx and laryngopharynx under indirect laryngoscopy].
The authors elaborated the equipment and technique of endolaryngeal laser surgery under indirect laryngoscopy in conditions of local anesthesia as well as phototherapy of the larynx with coherent and noncoherent monochromatic light in the postoperative period. Therapy was conducted and assessment of its efficacy was made in 93 patients with benign tumours, cysts of the larynx and laryngopharynx, cicatricial membranes of the middle regions of the larynx. The efficacy of the given method was assessed on the basis of long-term laryngoscopic studies, stroboscopy and acoustic measurements of the voice. Indications and contraindications to the mentioned therapy have been specified.
