Abstract
Bonebridge and BAHA are bone conduction implant systems for patients with transitional or combined hearing disorder and unilateral deafness, when the sound does not reach inner ear in a natural way through the outer and middle ear. With Bonebridge and BAHA, the sound waves are transmitted via bone conduction directly to the inner ear on the implanted side, but also to the contralateral inner ear, which is used by patients with unilateral deafness.

Abstract
Maggots (larvae) possess a wide spectrum of use due to their antiseptic and cleaning effects. Their positive effects have been recorded mainly when treating infected wounds, decubital ulcers, abscesses, burns and post-operative wounds. Several undesirable effects are connected with maggot (larvae) application. In certain cases, pain, itching, tickling have been described at the beginning of therapy and breaking away of maggots (larvae) as a technical problem. One of the essential lacks of maggot (larvae) therapy is the fear of the patient together with a negative feeling from the maggot (larvae) application. However, lower cost of treatment and shorter time of defect treatment have been confirmed in comparison with other methods.

Key words: biodebridement; treatment complications; maggot (larvae) therapy; wounds.

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of study was to determine quality of life in patients with smell dysfunction using the specific olfactory disorders questionnaire. The results were compared between men and women. Material and metods: A total of 60 participants with smell disorders (aged 52 years avaradge ±15,83, 57% women a 43% man) and 30 healthy volunteers (aged 51 years avaradge ±16,83, 76% women a 43% man) were included in to study. The sense of smell was tested by Odorized Markers Test (OMT) and Sniffin’Sticks test (16 – items identification test). A questionnaire was devided into four part. The specific questions were complemented about two general questions. Results: The quality of life was altered in the area psychological well-being, reduced enjoyment of food and negative effects on safety (detect spoiled food, gas leaks and smoke). In our study we proved statistically significant difference of outcome questionnaire score depending on the patients with smell dysfunction and healthy volunteers (p<0,05). Women have significantly more issues than men. Conclusions: The questionnaire give us new information about perception quality of life in patient with olfactory dysfunction. The study further continues to purpose increase the number of respondents and focus on the impact of qualitative disorders (parosmia and phantosmia) on quality of life.

Key words: smell disorders, quality of life, specific questionnaire, olfaction, olfactometry.
