Abstract:
Chronic suppurative otitis media has for many years remained one of the most serious forms otorhinolaryngological pathology in the children since its exacerbation may lead to the life-threatening extra- and intracranial complications. This disease is a most frequent cause of the loss of hearing in the childhood. The present paper is designed to present the analytical review of the relevant literature publications and compare its results with the original observations of the authors. Special attention is given to the etiopathogentic, therapeutic, and diagnostic aspects of exacerbation of chronic inflammatory pathology of the middle ear in the children. The most challenging problems of prophylaxis of this disease are discussed along with the available approached to their solution with the use of moderm methods for its diagnostics, conservative and surgical treatment.

Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...
