Возрастной аспект при оценке острого болевого синдрома в оториноларингологии

In this study, 133 patients were divided by age into three groups. First group: from 17 to 29 years old; second group: from 30 to 49 years old; and third group: from 50 to 75 years old. Pain intensity of patients was measured by means of a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), of a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and of a Verbal Lightning Scale (LS). All three scales could be used in measurement of pain of patients of the first group whereas NRS is preferable for the second group and LS - for the third group.Было опрошено 133 пациента на предмет испытываемой боли с помощью визуально-аналоговой шкалы (ВАШ), цифровой рейтинговой шкалы (ЦРШ) и вербальной шкалы-«молнии» (ШМ) 3 группы человек в возрасте от 17 до 29 лет, от 30 до 49 лет и от 30 до 49 лет. Нами установлено, что для опроса пациентов на предмет боли в первой возрастной группе можно использовать все три шкалы, во второй группе предпочтительны ЦРШ и ШМ, а в третьей - ШМ и ЦРШ

Влияние гендерных различий на интенсивность острого болевого синдрома после септопластики

It is shown that the intensity of pain was significantly higher in women than in men (p < 0,01). It is concluded that the sex factor can be used as a predictor of pain in this type of surgery.Исследован острый болевой синдром в раннем периоде после септопластики хрящевого отдела перегородки носа. Показано, что интенсивность боли у женщин достоверно выше, чем у мужчин (р < 0,01). Установлено, что гендерный признак можно использовать как предиктор интенсивности боли при септопластике

Low-Intensity Laser Therapy As a Method to Reduce Stress Responses after Septoplasty

Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) to minimize acute pain in the early postoperative period in patients after septoplasty. In total, 62 patients underwent septoplasty under general anesthesia (40 men and 22 women, 18–44 years old) followed by nasal tamponade. Patients of the 1st group did not undergo PBMT, and patients of the 2nd group received PBMT 3, 6, and 24 h after septoplasty (infrared pulsed laser radiation, λ = 0.890 μm, P = 10 W, 2 min in the projection of the wings of the nose). After 48 h, after the removal of tampons, intranasal PBMT with a nozzle in the red range, with λ = 0.63 μm, P = 8 mW, 2 min. ULF, HF, LF, and total power of heart rate variability (HRV), pain syndrome was assessed. ULF, LF, HF, total HRV power were significantly lower in group 2, compared to group 1. In the period from 6 to 24 h after septoplasty, patients of group 1 experienced higher pain than patients with PBMT (p < 0.001). The use of PBMT after septoplasty against the background of nasal tamponade helps to reduce the severity of pain syndrome and the inflammatory response to surgical stress and, consequently, leads to less pronounced changes in the autonomic nervous system in response to surgical stress. © 2021, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd

Study of the Role of Hearing Aid on the Area of the Acoustic Field of Vowels

The method of transformation of acoustic vowel triangles (AVT) /a/, /i/, /u/ was used for an objective assessment of the acoustic features of vowels in the speech production of 20 persons with long-term hearing impairment (LHI). The logarithm of the values of the first two formants of each vowel (logF1, logF2) was determined for each subject. AVTs were transformed into the right-angled triangles, the vertices of the sound /u/ of which were moved to the origin of coordinates and the legs were aligned with the coordinate axes. In patients with LHI, the size of the triangles usually decreased, and they were stretched along one of the axes, which probably depends not only on the hearing loss severity but also on the duration of hearing aid use. The presented approach to the normalization of AVTs makes it possible to distinguish at least three groups of persons with LHI: in the first group, vowel triangles are stretched along the logF1 axis; in the second group, vowel triangles are stretched along the logF2 axis; and in the third group, AVT are symmetric
