Background: Meniere's disease is a condition caused by disturbances in the auditory and vestibular systems. It is characterized by symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and tinnitus. In the United States, the prevalence of Meniere's disease has been found to be 84 cases per 100,000 women and 56 cases per 100,000 men. Regionally, it is more common in less populated areas, and research has confirmed that the prevalence increases with higher household income. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of traditional medicine treatments and therapies for Meniere's disease. Results: The patient is a 43-year-old male, with symptoms of dizziness, vomiting, and tinnitus. Since 2023, he has sought care at the Central Hospital of Mongolian Medicine, where he received traditional medicine treatments including herbal therapy and other traditional therapies on three occasions. As a result, the frequency of dizziness has decreased and other clinical symptoms have improved. Conclusion Traditional medicine treatments have been shown to be effective in managing Meniere's disease by extending the interval between relapses, improving quality of life, and significantly reducing clinical symptoms.

Introduction: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) has emerged as a significant public health and economic issue worldwide, affecting both developed and developing countries. Our research has been motivated by the increasing prevalence of carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa, A.baumannii, and K. pneumonia in recent years. Goal: To determine antibiotic susceptibility of the pathogens isolated from wound infection and to detect its multidrug resistance. Material and Method: Samples were collected from patients with wound infections. Pathogens were identified by using the traditional culture methods and the API system with serotypes determined phenotypically. Antibiotic susceptibility was assessed using the disk diffusion method and the MIC to analyse antibiotic resistance. Results: In the study, among 11,221 recorded cases of wound infections in 2023, bacterial pathogens were detected and identified at the species level in 10,339 cases (92.1%).
For identification results showed that A. baummannii were detected from 138 cases (1.3%), 216 cases (2.08%) of Ps. aeruginosa, 5 cases (0.04%) of B. cepacia, 1,383 cases (13.4%) of Enterobacteriaceae, 205 cases (2.0%) of Enterococcus spp., 8,329 cases (80.5%) of Staphylococcus spp., and 63 cases (0.6%) of Streptococcus spp.
Antibiotic susceptibility of these bacteria was assessed and determined multidrug resistance. We found the followings: For A. baumannii were resistant with MDR in 68 cases (49.3%), MRSA in 4,243 cases (51.1%), MDRSta. aureus in 1,805 cases (29.4%), VRE in 34 cases (16.5%), ESBL in 4.6%, KPC in 26 cases (11.1%), FRNF in 24 cases (11.6%), and CRPA in 13 cases (6.3%). Conclusion
1. Of all wound infections reported in 2023 in 92.1% there were detected pathogenic bacteria, of which S.aureus were in 80.5% and E. coli was in 13.4%
2. 60.7% of the pathogenic bacteria detected in wound infections were multidrug-resistant, with MRSA accounting for 51.1% and MDR A.baumannii accounting for 49.3%, indicating high antimicrobial resistance(AMR).

Assessing children with disabilities using who international classification of functioning (ICF) Background: In 2021, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 1 billion people are estimated to experience disability. The number of children with disabilities globally is estimated at almost 240 million, according to a new UNICEF report. There are approximately 43 million children with disabilities in East Asia and the Pacific. In the 2020 population and housing census of Mongolia, a total of 106.4 thousand people with disabilities were counted, of which 7.6 percent or 8.1 thousand children aged 0-14 were counted. People with disabilities lose some of their ability to labor. WHO recommended that assessment of children with disabilities using both ICD and ICF. Thus, we aim to assess children with disabilities who have neurological disease using International Classification of Functioning and evaluate the validity of this classification. Materials and methods: This was a cross sectional analytical study based on NCMCH. Study materials were collected from children and guardians through standard questionnaires. The questionnaire consisted of 2 groups: general information of the participant and indicators of the scope of the D code of the "ICF" to assess the childhood disability. According to the indicators of the D code range, activity limitations and participation restriction, disabilities were evaluated. Each question in the questionnaire was measured on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 to 4. The statistical analysis was performed using R 3.5.1 program. Validity was assessed using the Rasch model for each question. Questionnaire reliability was assessed by Cronbach's alpha test. Results: The study included 32 children aged 2-15 years. Male children were 62.5% of participants, the mean age was 8±3.1 years. Correlation between questions was high (r = 0.79) and reliability was adequate (α=0.94). As a result of Rasch analysis, the mean and standard deviation of the 36 selected parameters were not significantly different from the standardized mean. 3 indicators that did not meet the analysis criteria were removed, and a total of 33 indicators were used to measure childhood disabilities. Mean infit MNSQ was 1.06, mean outfit MNSQ was 0.93. MNSQ of all participants were 1.0 – 2.0. As a result of Rasch analysis, the mean of 33 indicators of disability is -1.6, the standard deviation is 1.2, the upper limit of the mean is 3.6, and the lower limit is -3.4, and the indicator of D code was stable enough to measure disability. The mean code scores were 2.45±1.3. The mean score of disability level of children diagnosed with cerebral palsy was 2.9±1.09, and children hospitalized with seizures and meningitis was 0.5±0.3. Also, the total mean score was 2.61±1.2 in the group with disability and receiving care, and 1.8±0.21 in the group not receiving care, which was a statistically significant difference. Conclusions: Inter-indicator correlation was good and reliability of the questionnaire was adequate in field use of the 38 indicators of the activity limitations and participation restriction of the International Classification of Functioning, Children's Version (ICF-CY) code range “D”. When evaluated by Rasch analysis, 33 questions were evaluated as structural and stable. The International Classification of Functioning can be used to assess children's disabilities. Discussions: Niels Ove Illum et al. (2015) found that The World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health child and youth version d code data can provide a coherent measure of severity of disability in children across various diagnoses, ages, and genders. Results were similar to our study.

The prevalence and type of congenital cleft of the lip and palate in mongolia, affiliation of the patients Background: The prevalence of congenital cleft lip and palate is different internationally. There are some research papers which identifying the rate of this abnormality in Mongolia, the latest one shown the result that one cleft case for 1072 live births (Ayanga GN et all, 2012). Aim: to determine/update the prevalence and types of congenital cleft lip and palate in Mongolia Materials and methods: we include the data from all cleft patients who were born between 01 of January, 2011-31 of December, 2021 to this survey retrospectively. We used the e-history for cleft patients, which developed by the department of Maxillofacial surgery since 2011. Results: Totally 1308 cleft patients included to our survey. The prevalence is one cleft cases for 652 live births in Mongolia, and 34,1% is cleft of the lip, 41,4% is cleft of the lip and palate, and 24,5% is cleft palate only of all cases. Also the rate was differently among provinces, as one for 429 live births in Khuvsgul province, and one for 1223 live births in Uvs province. Conclusions: the prevalence of cleft lip and palate in Mongolia 1000:1.5 or one for 652 live births. The highest rate established in Khuvsgul province, and the lowest in Uvs province.

Hemangiomas are common benign vascular tumors which about 70% to 80% of the lesions are found in the head and neck region. This study was conducted on 36 children with hemangioma who were referred to Orofacial Surgery Cabinet of Dental School of Health Sciences University of Mongolia and Orofacial Surgery Cabinet of National Center for Maternal and Child Health of Mongolia between 2013 and 2015.Of the 36 children referred for assessment, 72% were female, 55% were infants of 4 to 9 months old, and 83% of them were citizens. 58% of patients underwent cryotherapy,and 57% of patients underwent cryotherapy had 2 therapy sessions. 25% of patients receiver sclerotic therapy, and 67% of them had 2 therapy sessions. According to the locations of hemangiomas 30% of them were localized in infraorbital area. 72% of the participants are women and 55% are children age of 4-9 month which 83% of all participants were living in city. 58% of children with hemangioma are treated with cryotherapy which 57%of treatment finished by second visit. And 25% were treated by dehydration treatment which 67% were finished by second visit.
