UNLABELLED Mouth dryness (MD) is usually followed by inadequate mechanical cleaning of the mouth and decrease in the levels of salivary antimicrobial proteins (including secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA)). It is accompanied by difficulties during speaking and food swallowing, with an unpleasant taste, burning sensations in the mouth and higher susceptibility to oral diseases. Low-level laser tr...

The earliest clinical sign of esophageal atresia (EA) is excessive salivation and the diagnosis is made by failure to pass an infant feeding tube (IFT) into the stomach. The diagnostic errors may occur due to presence of an unusually long upper pouch, when the IFT seems to pass into the stomach. We describe one such case and review the relevant literature.

Food CSs, presented (i) concomitantly with SD controlling bar pressing for food, or (ii) on the background of non-discriminated bar pressing (FR 1/15), suppress instrumental performance but elicit undiminished conditioned salivation. This result supports Soltysik-Konorski's model of CNS mechanism controlling food-oriented behavior which postulates drive inhibition by taste-consummatory neurons.

Background: Esophageal perforation is uncommon and often iatrogenic in the neonatal period, premature low birth weight infants (<1500 g) are particularly susceptible. injury neonates usually occurs at pharyngoesophageal junction can be confused with esophageal atresia due to respiratory signs excessive salivation. Diagnostic evaluation treatment still debated.

Aim. To investigate the relationship between physical properties of saliva and enamel resistance caries intensity in drug-addicted patients. Materials methods. The study involved 70 patients, who were divided into three groups: main group (1) – 28 drug addicts diagnosed with caries, comparison (2) 22 patients dental hard tissues without a history addiction, control (3) 20 persons carious lesion...
