pharyngitis, acute and chronicle sinusitis, antritis, and frontitis.
At that, according to Vardanyan, the treatment of antritis and
frontitis is done by means of a special Yamik Sinus Catheter with the
use of preparations, the affect of which on micro-organisms is high.
She noted that the basis of cryotherapy method is freezing, i.e. the
treatment by liquid nitrogen at -196°Ñ temperature, affecting the
pathology cells, as a result of which local immunity is created,
causing the pathology cells die, and the polipuses completely
resolve. According to Vardanyan, the chronicle tonsillitis treatment
method is the same (without the removal of tonsil) as well as that of
snore caused by both pathology and anathomical abnormalities. She
informed that within 4 months the office received 54 patients and
operated them by the cryotherapy methods. She added that the
treatments costs from $100 to $200. According to her, these prices
are much lower than in many European countries, so not only citizens
of Armenia, but also patients from CIS and Europe apply to them for
help. Nevertheless, according to Vardanyan, the office now has a
negative profit. She added that the office is receives financial aid
from sponsors from Europe. Also, she added that the office is
