Otitis media, including exudative otitis, is one of the most common childhood diseases. Almost asymptomatic course in children of early and preschool age leads to undiagnosed hearing loss. In such cases the minimal auditory deficit significantly affects the auditory-speech development and the formation of higher cortical functions in children. It is pediatricians who are the first to deal with the manifestations of exudative otitis media. Consequently, their knowledge and understanding of the disease, including the most common causes and risk factors, is important. The first part of the literature review considers the theories of the exudative otitis media formation, the role of viral and bacterial flora in the development of the disease, the effect of obstruction of the auditory tube against the background of nasopharyngeal neoplasms, craniofacial anomalies (including chromosomal aberrations), allergic diseases, rhinosinusitis and adenoiditis.

The article is based on the idea of studying the growth of the regulatory role of child’s speech in the activity organization and feasance and the conduct of child’s behavior. According to this idea, the child’s volitional behavior arises with the skills appearance to build speech utterances, when youngster begins to draw up a plan of his/her activity and regulate the process of his/her implementation with their help, i.e., the development of planning and regulatory speech functions is in progress. Emphasis is placed just on the problem of forming in children the ability to build utterances on their own in connection with the development of speech functions and their volitional development. It’s given the proof of the interconnection of the stages development of planning and regulatory speech functions in preschool and junior schoolchildren and the conditionality of the volitional development of children by the development of their speech skills and functions. The paper presents a functional-structural model of the development process optimization of planning and regulatory speech functions by children in forming their speech skills. It’s illustrated the structure of the program forming preschoolers’ and first graders’ skills to model speech utterances for their development of planning and regulatory speech functions, the formation of which is considered as one of the their volitional behavior development mechanisms. The effectiveness of this program has been experimentally proved. The results show the substantial children’s speech development changes, the positive will development dynamics, the time history in an interrelation between children’s will and speech development, namely: volitional development was connected with all connected speech indicators at the same time, in preschoolers – mainly with their utterances completeness and logic, in first-graders – with the understanding of the meaning of their own speech in activity. On the basis of the scientists’ theoretical and experimental works and presented empirical research results analysis it’s suggested to assume the senior preschool age as a sensitive for the regulatory speech function development and the junior school age – planning one.


This chapter covers the most common effects that cancer and its treatment can have on the skin and mucosa. Alopecia is discussed, including the main causes, nursing support, and the role of scalp cooling for prevention; the section on oral mucositis and oesophagitis looks at causes and risk factors, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapies. Prevention is explored, with a focus on recent guidelines from the United Kingdom. Treatment focuses on management of associated symptoms, such as pain and bleeding, and nutritional support. Oral care in advanced cancer offers further focus on nursing support for patients with xerostomia, candidiasis, and hypersalivation. The section on malignant wounds highlights the need for sensitive, psychologically focused care. Wound management covers guidance on managing pain, exudates, bleeding, and odour. Common wound products are also described. The final section looks at lymphoedema management, common causes, presentation, and associated problems such as mobility, altered body image, fatigue, and pain.

The investigation is devoted to the problem of speech development of children of the senior preschool age in the course of execution of motor actions that needed neuro-psychological basics of speech activation of children during motor actions. The results of the study indicate that preschool age is the most responsible period in the development of the personality of the person, its psychological and physical development, including the development of speech. The presence of the interrelation of general and speech motility has been proved in the studies of I.P. Pavlov, A.M. Leontiev, A.R. Luria etc., which substantiates the position that the use of various motor actions contributes to solving the problems of speech development of the child. The presence of the relationship between intellectual, social, speech development and motor activity, the state of health of the child determines the feasibility of the use of such approaches, which involve an integrated influence to a child’s personality. The exclusive role of physical and speech development determines the need for their integration for the general development of the child. The purpose of the integrated speech-motor joint motor activity is to ensure the interconnection of motor activity and development of speech of children of preschool age. The introduction of an integrated approach requires the use of innovative technologies (finger, articulation, respiratory gymnastics, football-gymnastics, logarithmics, etc.). To test the effectiveness of the integrated speech-motor activity, a pedagogical experiment was conducted. After the survey, data was obtained that shows a positive dynamics in all indicators of speech.

Asthma and allergic rhinitis are the most common chronic childhood diseases with an increasing prevalence worldwide. There is an urgent need to look for methods of preventing allergic diseases from an early age. The relationship between vitamin D status and allergic diseases has been discussed in several studies recently. 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is suggested to affect the development and/or severity of asthma and allergic rhinitis. Observational studies have seemed to confirm that vitamin D deficiency may contribute to an increase in allergy and asthma. Following interventional studies, however, have yielded ambiguous results. In this review, we describe recent findings regarding 25(OH)D impact on allergic diseases and provide a systematic analysis of the causes of great variability of the achieved results in different studies.
