AbstractThe key point of waste activated sludge (WAS) pretreatment is to rupture the cell wall for allowing the release of intracellular matter that acts as a bioavailable substrate in anaerobic digestion processes. In this regard, ultrasonic irradiation has been one of the most effective tools owing to the unique properties of ultrasound to produce extreme conditions in heterogeneous liquids such as waste activated sludge. The present study investigates the impact of short-frequency ultrasound on disintegration, biodegradability and dewatering characteristics of sewage sludge by monitoring soluble chemical oxygen demand (sCOD), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), soluble proteins, total dissolved nitrogen, particle size and dewaterability of raw and sonicated sludge samples to optimize the operating parameters. The results showed that short wave ultrasound is a highly effective method of WAS treatment, because it provides high degrees of disintegration and biomass transfer from sludge solids to the aqueous phase, thus resulting in enhanced biodegradability.

The article presents results of a study on the effectiveness of using lowfrequency ultrasound and photochromotherapy in the complex treatment of patients with chronic bacterial and viral rhinosinusitis. The study involved 69 people aged 18 to 55 years: 39 (56.83 %) women and 30 (45.11 %) men with chronic rhinosinusitis during the period of clinical exacerbation and concomitant chronic tonsillitis without exacerbation. All patients included in the study underwent X-ray examination or computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the paranasal sinuses. 100 % of the patients were examined for the presence of antibodies to Human gammaherpesvirus 4 (ELISA), had study of blood serum for IgM and IgG and test to determine the avidity of Ig G antibodies to γ-herpesviruses. The obtained data indicate the effectiveness of including low-frequency ultrasound and photochromotherapy in the complex treatment of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and concomitant chronic tonsillitis of bacterial and viral nature without exacerbation.
