The main efforts of the Department staff of Science are focused on solving a number of issues on one of the complex problems developed in the DSMA – “Tuberculosis and diseases of the respiratory system”.

Research is constantly being conducted on development the most optimal treatment regimens for upper respiratory tract allergoses. In particular, the staff of the department made very significant adjustments to the treatment of allergic rhinitis by specific immunotherapy with allergens of non-infectious and bacterial origin, antihistamines and topical corticosteroids of the latest generation, as well as immunopharmaceuticals.

The classification of AR proposed by the department helps to adequately choose one or another basic method of its treatment.

The results of scientific and practical research are constantly reported by the staff of the department at the scientific and practical conferences of the DSMA, meetings of the Dagestan branch of the All-Russian ENT Society, republican, regional, inter-regional, All-Russian and International symposia, conferences, congresses and conventions.

As a matter of personal initiative, work is carried out on the specifics of the clinic, diagnosis and treatment of otogenic intracranial complications in the conditions of widespread use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory pharmacopreparations at the pre-hospital stage.

In recent years, the department has published five monographs that have received recognition among otorhinolaryngologists in Russia (positive reviews on the pages of the journals “Bulletin of Otorhinolaryngology”, 2000, №1; 2006, №1. 2010, №3 and “Russian Bulletin of Perinatology and Pediatrics”, 1999, No. 3).

Inventive and innovative activity.

In the creative activity of the department, a significant place is occupied by invention and innovation. Associate Professor Sh. D. Davydov, who worked at the department for many years, was distinguished not only by the art of healing, but also was an active inventor and innovator. He created a “Flexible esophagoscope on a corrugated basis”, a  “Retainer for trepanopuncture of the frontal sinus”, “A needle for sewing up the palatine arches”, “A needle-clip for sewing up the vessels of deep wounds”.

D. made a number of innovations in the technique of nasal tamponade for bleeding, for the removal of foreign bodies from the bronchi and esophagus, for brain abscesses of an otogenic nature.

Employees of the department received a certificate for innovative proposals “Method of suturing nostrils in laboratory animals” (1983), “Differential diagnosis between adenoids and adenoiditis” (1986), “Method of treatment of chronic adenoiditis” (1991), etc.

Students’ Scientific Circle

The department has a student’s scientific circle. Many of its members associate their further medical activities with otorhinolaryngology. Among the former active members of the circle, 12 people at the ENT Department of the DSMA were trained in internship and clinical residency.

ENT society

In 1946, the Scientific and Medical Society of Otorhinolaryngologists of our republic was organized, the first Chairman of the Board of which was elected Professor V. A. Chudnosovetov. Both the founder of the ENT Society and its subsequent successors (Associate Professor V. A. Nikitin, prof. M. S. Mikhailovsky, prof. G. A. Gadzhimirzaev) believe that the ENT Society is one of the institutions where doctors can improve their professional level. At the meetings of the society, we bring to the attention of the audience the emerging innovations in practical otorhinolaryngology. The Chairman of the Management Board and members of the Management Board share their impressions of the conferences, congresses and congresses held at the federal level in the specialty. We can state with satisfaction that the Dagestan branch of the All-Russian Society of Otorhinolaryngologists did not stop its activities even during the difficult time of the disintegration of the former Soviet Union and is working on a permanent basis.

Resources

The department has a significant number of teaching aids for students and doctors, issued both by the staff of the ENT Department of the DSMU and by Russian otorhinolaryngologists (textbooks, guidelines, test questions of different levels, lectures on otorhinolaryngology, educational videos). The department widely uses the capabilities of modern technical means (multimedia system, overhead) in the educational process. The department has a book and magazine collection since the beginning of the 60th year of the last century, which is used by both medical trainees and students.
