[Salivary gland tumor in authors' material].

The aim this work was to analyze the operated salivary gland tumors, taking into consideration the age and the sex of the patients. From 1980 to 1996 74 patients were operated including 40 women and 34 men, aged 21-78. Out of those 74 salivary gland tumors which were operated, conservative operation was carried out in 62 patients (85.2%) while in 11 patients (14.8%) it was radical operation. Most of the patients who underwent the operation were at the age between 31 and 60 (77.1%). In most cases--77.2% we had to do with mixed tumor of parotid gland and in 4% of submaxillary gland. Postsurgery complications in the from of complete facial paralysis were shown in 14.8% of the patients.

[The glossopharyngeal neuralgia with the coexisting cardiac rhythm disturbances].

We present the case of 61 years old man with idiopathic glossopharyngeal neuralgia. In the Holter's e.c.g often appeared the episodes of asystolia with the clinical symptoms of daze and confusion occurring during changing the position of the body (standing up). They were no accompanied by losses of consciousness. The patient was treated with carbamazepine during the cardiac disorders. The episodes of asystolia in e.c.g disappeared already 3 months after the end of the glossopharyngeal neuralgia.

[Evaluation of the senses of taste and smell in petroleum chemistry workers based on 3-year observations].

The authors have presented results of examinations of the smell and taste senses in 547 petrochemistry, workers, and 100 cotton industry workers composing a control group. In both groups, those aged 26 -- 35, with long duration of employment, predominated. In the primary group i.e. petroleum chemistry workers, dysgeusia has been found in 319 (58.3%) subjects with no reaction at all in 102 (18.6%) persons. Hyposmia has been found in 238 (43.5%) and anosmia in 50 (9.2%) subjects. In the control group, dysgeusia has been found in 69%, whereas anosmia in 24% of subjects.

[Current and retrospective problems of treatment of occupational hearing loss of the cochlear type].

The prevalence of occupational hearing impairment constantly increases, thus there are more and more people who become deaf and disabled from carrying on their jobs and normal social contacts. The technical efforts aimed at limiting exposure to noise, as well as medical prophylactic activities are not efficient enough. Therefore the authors analyse the possibilities of occupational hearing impairment treatment. Pharmacologic preparations likely to affect the temporary and permanent threshold shift, are considered. Within operative treatment, microsurgical technique of implanting microelectrodes to the cochlea is presented, basing on the authors' experiments with 4 patients op]erated and rehabilitated with this method.

[Respiratory indicators after laryngectomy].

35 males aged 48--65 were spirometrically examined prior to treatment and following an operation. Excision of neoplastic larynx and tracheostoma breathing were found to result in defected lung ventilation. The defected lung ventilation depends on the size of neoplastic infiltration and its location, but primarily on the degree of narrowing of larynx lumen.
