Abstract
<b><br>Introduction:</b> Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a common disorder in world population. As a result of the regurgitation of acid content from the stomach to laryngopharynx and larynx, secondary damage of laryngeal mucosa occur, which is highly sensitive to hydrochloric acid, and morphological changes are observed. Symptomatology of laryngopharyngeal reflux is varied which makes differential diagnosis difficult.</br> <b><br>Aim:</b> The aim of the study was the assessment of voice quality, morphological changes in larynx as well as etiology of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease.</br> <b><br>Material and method:</b> The severity of dysphonia was classified using perceptual and acoustic methods as well as RSI. Morphological control was performed using HSDI technique and RFS. Etiological factors were examined basing on barofunction of upper esophageal sphincter and 24-hour pH-metry of air exhaled expressed in Ryan score.</br> <b><br>Results:</b> In the majority of patients with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux, dysphonia was recognized, intensified especially in women (G3R2B0A0S3), which was confirmed in Yanagihara classification (type III) and parameters of acoustic analysis. Voice disorders were the most frequently the result of edema and congestion of interarytenoid area, aytenoids and vocal folds. Those symptoms were caused by the decrease of upper esophageal sphincter tension and acidity of exhaled air which was confirmed in 24-hour pHmetry.</br> <b><br>Conclusions:</b> It is important to educate physicians and patients about the possibilty of negative impact of reflux disease on the occurrence of voice quality disorders. Current diagnostic methods for dysphonia guarantee accurate recognition and therapeutic success improving the prognoses of patients with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux.</br>.

TERAPEVT ARKH 2023; 94:1407-1412.

Abstract
Aim. To review the data about the efficacy of esophagus protective agent based on the fixed combination of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate dissolved in the bioadhesive carrier (poloxamer 407) in the complex therapy of patients with erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Materials and methods. A search in MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Russian Science Citation Index of Scientific Electronic Library electronic databases was performed. Relevant original controlled studies of a fixed combination of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate as an esophagus protective agent in a population of patients with erosive GERD were included.
Results. The final analysis included three studies that enrolled 181 patients with erosive GERD. All the studies had a uniform design with the assessment of the primary endpoints (complete epithelialization of esophageal erosions and complete resolution of heartburn) 28 days after the start of therapy. Meta-analysis of the three controlled trials has demonstrated that combination therapy with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and esophagus protective agents is significantly more effective than PPI monotherapy for complete epithelialization of esophageal erosions at 28 days of treatment (relative risk 1.267, 95% confidence interval 1.0821.483, p=0.003; I2=21.19%), but did not differ for complete resolution of heartburn on the day 28 of treatment (relative risk 1.638, 95% confidence interval 0.6604.067, p=0.287; I2=92.59%).
Conclusion. Combined therapy with PPI and Alfasoxx is significantly more effective than PPI monotherapy for the epithelialization of esophageal erosions in patients with erosive GERD.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most widespread gastrointestinal pathologies and the most common reason for seeking medical care at the level of a primary link of public health services in many countries around the world. The classic clinical presentations of GERD are heartburn, belching, and regurgitation (spitting up), but the overall spectrum of GERD symptoms is broader and more heterogeneous in scope, including extraesophageal symptoms. Clinical and/or endoscopic refractoriness of some patients to the standard proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) therapy remains a global challenge in the management of patients with GERD at the current stage of clinical medicine development. A medicinal product of a fundamentally new class was developed to optimize the treatment of patients with GERD – an esophageal mucosal protectant, which consists of a fixed combination of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate dissolved in a bioadhesive carrier (polymerase 407). This review is primarily aimed at systematizing data on the efficacy of the esophageal mucosal protectant in the treatment of patients with GERD. The systematic review that summarized the results of 10 studies involving 1090 patients with GERD showed that adding this esophageal mucosal protectant to the PPI therapy increased the efficacy of GERD therapy, as well as improved the frequency of symptomatic, endoscopic and morphological response to the treatment. Such combination therapy contributes to the optimization of the treatment of patients with various disease phenotypes, regress of both esophageal and extraesophageal symptoms, and potentiation of repair of the esophageal mucosa. To increase the efficacy of treatment and improve the prognosis of the disease, this approach should be implemented at the early stages of therapy in real clinical practice.

Abstract
Performing artists are a unique subset of athletes. With the highly repetitive nature of performance training, emphasis on proper technique, ergonomics, and preventive cross-training is vital, as many injuries are due to overuse or poor technique. There are novel medical concerns in performers, including ENT problems, mental health concerns and substance use risks. While music is central to performances, it is also a treatment modality to address cognitive, sensory, and motor dysfunctions in certain neurological conditions. Due to this wide array of issues, it is imperative to understand the specific needs and risks of performers to provide optimal medical care.
