Abstract

Investigations of etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of polypous ethmoiditis show the role of chronic inflammation, sensitization and autoimmune reactions in mechanisms of nasal polyposis (NP). The development of postoperative recurrences of NP depends on the microflora, defective microcirculation, permeability of the histohematic barriers of the nasal and labyrinthine mucosa and metabolism of glycosaminoglycanes in the above mucosa. Adequate treatment methods are suggested: He-Ne laser radiation, UV blood radiation, cryotherapy, corticosteroids. Promising are also autovaccine, autovaccine with tissue (polypous) antigen, ozone solutions.

Antihistamines.

In the 1990s, major improvements occurred in the therapeutic index of H1 antihistamines. The third-generation compounds promise to be more effective and nontoxic. The future major advances are likely to result from development and exploitation of non-H1 receptor-mediated antiallergic actions of these drugs.

From pain to self-awareness--a qualitative analysis of the significance of group participation for persons with chronic musculoskeletal pain.

The experiences of persons with chronic musculoskeletal pain who participated in a twelve-session process and experience-oriented learning programme were analysed with qualitative methods. The programme was based on a phenomenological frame of understanding where the individual's experience of her/his situation was essential. The educational approach was inspired by personal construct theory that calls attention to the human being's capacity to redefine and reconstruct the meanings of any situation and symptom. Certain qualities and values were embedded in the group programme: A context that emphasised an understanding of the body 'as a talking subject' rather than focusing on pain and diagnoses; the wholeness of participants' situation rather than viewing chronic muscular pain as either physical or psychological: activity, participation and operating within the participants' everyday language and ways of expressing themselves; respecting, seeing, listening and trusting the group participants; focusing on each participant's and the whole group's resources, potentials and possibilities; challenging the participants to evoke their inner authority and internal validation instead of surrendering authority on their pain to the health personnel. Self-reports shortly after, and a year after, participation indicated that participants in the groups had reconstructed some patterns in their lives, both in relation to self and others. They had an increased awareness of self, less pain and more constructive ways of handling pain and life situation.
