Adult-onset atopic dermatitis is observed in 1-3% of adults. The concept of adult-onset atopic dermatitis has relatively recently come into use in the scientific literature. In most cases, atopic dermatitis results in a fairly sustained remission before puberty begins. However, in recent years, there have been more and more adult-onset atopic dermatitis cases when the disease persists or even starts to occur in adults. Atopic dermatitis in adult patients has the features of its clinical course and does not meet the diagnostic criteria adopted in pediatric practice. Therefore, the disease in adult patients becomes the diagnosis of exclusion in most cases, especially in de novo cases.

The existing management tactics for patients with intratemporal tumors of the facial nerve (microsurgical tumor excision with reconstruction of the facial nerve) is today complemented with more conservative methods: wait-and-see tactics with a follow-up, nerve decompression, and stereotactic radiosurgery. Nerve plasty with direct neurorrhaphy or autograft improves the function of the facial muscles. No tumor recurrences were recorded during the follow-up.

Cephalgia is the main symptom of different diseases. Cephalalgia frequently occurs in the presence of nasal mucosal contact points. The endoscopic examinations made by the authors and other rhinologists in this area have established the relationship between the impaired structure of the nasal cavity and the presence of cephalgia.

To assess the scientific interest of medical investigators in and their attitude to the problem of medical rehabilitation and quality of life in patients with breast cancer, publications on this topic were analyzed. Content analysis was used as a method of qualitative and quantitative assessments of texts and text arrays, which allows the content interpretation of the found data and the formation of a picture of vision of the problem under study in modern medicine.

The use of L-carnitine in patients with acute cerebrovascular accident substantially decreased the frequency of both cerebral and general somatic complaints (which was associated with a reduction in neurological deficit severity using the NIHSS scale) and the level of general asthenia and psychoemotional defect, which lowered outside help dependency in patients (by the Barthel index).
