Examination of the body

Optical coherence tomography

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a method of non-invasive research, which is increasingly used in medicine for diagnostic purposes. OCT uses near infrared light, which illuminates the tissue site being examined.

Cardiac catheterization

Cardiac catheterization is performed by puncture and percutaneous insertion of the catheter into the vessel - peripheral vein (ulnar, subclavian, jugular, femoral) for the right heart or artery (shoulder, femoral, axillary, radial) for the left heart.

Puncture and salivary gland biopsy

Diagnostic puncture of the salivary gland refers to the morphological methods of investigation. It is made with a needle not more than 1 mm in diameter and a 20 ml syringe.

Sialografiya

Sialography (radiography of salivary glands with artificial contrast of their ducts) is most often used to diagnose various diseases. Sialografiya allows you to judge the condition of the ducts and the parenchyma of the gland.

Sialometry

To study the secretory activity of the salivary glands, sialometry of large and small salivary glands is performed. Usually, secretion is determined by collecting parotid saliva or collecting secret from the submaxillary glands. Sialometry allows you to evaluate the functions of each gland.

Rheoencephalography

Rheoencephalography (REG) is based on the measurement of changes in the impedance of the head associated with the pulse wave when a weak high-frequency electric current passes through the electrodes.

Ultrasound echoencephalography

Ultrasound echoencephalography (EchoEG) is based on the principle of echolocation. The goal of EchoEG is to identify gross morphological disorders in the structure of the brain (subdural hematomas, cerebral edema, hydrocephalus, large tumors, displacement of median structures), as well as intracranial hypertension.

Magnetoencephalography

Magnetoencephalography - registration of the magnetic component of the electromagnetic field of the brain. This method arose relatively recently in connection with the successes of low-temperature physics and ultrasensitive magnetometry.

Scale of pain in children

The Wong-Baker scale is designed to assess the intensity of pain in children. It includes pictures with faces - a smiling face, which means no pain (0 points out of 5), distorted by a grimace of a crying face, which means the greatest pain intensity (5 points out of 5).

ECG features in children

ECG in children is important for the diagnosis of heart damage. The technique of ECG removal, the system of leads and the theoretical basis of the method are common for all age groups.
