Comparative Study[Condition of the larynx affected by the laryngeal mask during general anesthesia].
A new generation artificial airway--a laryngeal mask (LM)--was examined for effects on a laryngeal function in general anesthesia. Topographic-anatomic characteristics of the upper respiratory tracts which make impossible an adequate wearing of LM as well as frequency and severity of laryngeal LM-induced complications were specified. ⋯ LM provides general anesthesia in problematic intubation. Employment of LM raises quality of anesthesia, reduces the number of intra- and postoperative laryngeal complications in conduction of general anesthesia.

[Ototoxic effect and its prevention in administration of cisplatin].
Short-latent acoustic evoked potentials were registered in examination of hearing function in guinea pigs given platinum compounds. A protective action of thiol compounds (sodium thiosulfate and unitiol) was tried in relation to hypoacusis induced by cisplatinum.

Comparative Study[Epidemiological characteristics of acute otitis media in children of Cambodia].
1606 children have undergone an otoscopic examination in a children's hospital. Maximal incidence of acute otitis media was registered in 1 to 4 year olds and in newborns. Acute catarrhal otitis occurred more frequently than acute otitis media purulenta in all the age groups.

[Postintubation laryngeal and tracheal stenosis: diagnosis and treatment].
The authors present 10-year experience gained in the treatment of 450 patients subjected to intubation, artificial lung ventilation, tracheostomy in critical care units. Updated approaches to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention in the above patients, classification of postintubation stenoses of the larynx and trachea allowed to raise rehabilitation effectiveness to 95 and 78% in patients with early (within 3 months after intubation) and late (more than 3 months after intubation) stenosis, respectively.
