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.

Background:
Numerous studies have shown that with the advancement of technology such as computers and cell phones,
neck and back pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome have become common in daily life.
Aim:
Estimating the effectiveness of acupoint catgut embedding treatment for chronic neck pain.
Materials and Methods:
The study used a randomized clinical trial, double-blind, placebo-controlled design with treatment (n=40) and control (n=40) groups. The study included 80 patients with chronic neck pain, and the results were evaluated in the two
groups before and after treatment using the “Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), “Neck Disability Index”, and “Quality of Life
Questionnaire” (EQ-5D).
Results:
Acupoint catgut embedding and acupuncture treatment for chronic neck pain increased the neck’s range of
motion by 2-5 degrees. Standard acupuncture treatment and acupoint catgut embedding treatment reduce neck pain and
improve the neck disability index. Acupoint catgut embedding treatment improves the quality of life of patients with
chronic neck pain, especially reducing anxiety and fear scores with statistical significance.
Conclusion
1. Standard acupuncture and acupoint catgut embedding treatment are equally effective in relieving chronic neck pain.
2. Acupoint catgut embedding treatment increased the range of motion in the same way as standard acupuncture.
3. Acupoint catgut embedding treatment also reduced the patient’s Neck Disability Index and improved Quality of life.

The clinical sign of children’s kidney and urinary tract petrification diseases and the result of eswl
Background: A substance exchange disorder where stones form in the kidney or urinary tract with a tendency toward inheritance is called urinary tract petrification disease. In many countries throughout the world, the incidence of urinary tract petrification disease is one to fifteen percent. Urinary tract permeability disease affects 7% of people under the age of 17. Due to the unique nature of the habitat, the incidence of urinary tract petrification disease is higher in India, Thailand, Scandinavian countries, and the Caucasian, Ural, Siberia, and Equator areas. However, the incidence of urinary tract petrification disease spread is two to three percent for children, but the reoccurance risk is 6.5–54 percent. In our country’s case, J. Horloo’s 1993 research indicates that 4.1 to 4.7 percent of kidney and urinary tract patients have urinary tract disease. During urinary tract disease, the common symptoms are abdominal pain, macro- and microhematuria, and kidney and renal bacterial infection. But in younger children, those symptoms are quite grim. In the last 15 years, mongolian’s urine’s oxalate stone’s volume increased by 5 times and mixed stones decreased by 2.5 times. The research of G. Erdenetsetseg’s 1990–1998 study on 305 children and the 2001–2003 study on 161 children indicate that the incidence of urinary tract disease is high between ages 1-3, and 65 percent of the stones consist of calcium oxalate. In 1980, German scientists invented the stone crushing technology using electrohydraulic shockwaves, which turned out to be a beneficial treatment for kidney surgery practice. The National Hospital for Maternal and Child Health's kidney surgery team had 17 surgeries in 2015, 19 surgeries in 2016, 24 surgeries in 2017, and 28 surgeries in 2018, and all of those surgeries were done and treated open. In the last 10 years of our country, children’s urinary tract petrification disease has gradually increased, but research on those diseases risks and factors is lacking. Also, the stone crushing method is necessary for our country’s children's treatment. That’s why we decided to do research on the risk factors of urinary tract disease and its relation to the stone crushing method.
Aim: Describe the features of children’s kidney and urinary tract petrification disease and study the stone crushing method’s results.
Materials and methods: The study was done between December of 2019 and April of 2022, with the assistance of NCMCH's children's kidney surgery team. Within the parameter of the first objective, within the group of cases of kidney and urinary tract disease, there were 13 children under the age of 17. The research study was conducted cross sectional. The research results were processed by the SPSS 25 program. On the seventh meeting of the health ministry, we got the acceptance of a research patent with the assistance of EHEMUT.
Results: The research group consisted of 13 children ages 0–17. The average age of participants was 10.6+-4.2.74. 4 percent of it consisted of men. The research of symptoms showed that back pain n = 13 (100), right side abdominal pain n = 13 (100), disurie n = 3 (23.1), mouth drying n = 2 (15.4), nausea n = 3 (23.1), urine with blood n = 10 (76.9), urine with smell n = 9 (69.2). The position of the stone consisted of 8 (61.5) in the kidney cup, 8 in the kidney cradle. Showing it in which kidney showed that 8 (61.5) were in the right kidney, 3 (23.1) in the left kidney, and 2 (15.4) in both kidneys. The density of the stones was n = 265.8+ 41.9 on average. Kidney stone coming out time was measured by Caplan-Myer’s survivability scale. The stones on the right side of the kidney came out within 14 days on average, while the left and both-sided kidney stones came out within 30 days.
Conclusions:
1. Showing the number of stones and locations indicates that 8 (61.5) were in the right kidney, 3 (23.1) in the left kidney, and 2 (15.4) in both kidneys.
2. The results of Caplan-Meyer's scale indicate that kidney stones within the right kidney came out within 14 days, and left- or both-sided stones came out within 30 days.

Comparative result of laparoscopic versus open varicocelectomy in children
Introduction: Varicocele is an abnormal dilatation of the pampiniform plexus due to the inversion of venous blood flow within spermatic veins. In our country, there is currently no comparative studies for open and laparoscopic varicocelectomy in children and adolescents. Therefore, we need to perform a comparative study of surgical methods.
Methods and materials: The case records of 61 patients were retrospectively reviewed рostoperative recurrence, complications, duration of surgery, hospital stay and cost of surgery who underwent open and laparoscopic varicocelectomy between 1 January, 2012 and 1 January, 2018 at the department of pediatric urology, NCMCH.
Results: The age range for both group was similar, 9 to 18 years, average age was 14 ± 2.1. In the first group, the operation time was 15-50 minutes, with an average of 28.6 ± 5.67 minutes, and 25-90 minutes, with an average of 49 ± 13.7 minutes for second group. Hospital stay in the first group were 3-8 days, with an average of 4.7 ± 0.89, and 3-5 days, with an average of 3.6 ± 0.76 for second group.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic surgery has advantages over traditional open surgery, surgical incision is smaller, less postoperative pain, and a shorter postoperative recovery time. Therefore, in further laparoscopic varicovelectomy (Palomo procedure) may be more appropriate and effective method in children and adolescents.
