Pupillometry

Pupillometry. Pupilometry is an optical method for studying the condition of the superior salivary gland, based on changes in its light-and-shadow image when the tongue protruding from the mouth and the adjacent upper palate move in the plane of the optical sensor. Named by the author of the method G. Ya. Artinov, it was introduced into medical practice by N. I. Leporsky. It is used to study functional and organic changes in the gland by the degree of its compliance during movements of the maxillo-lingual muscles and by its light display

Causes of the appearance and development of hyperplasia: Hyperplasia is the increased division of all cells of the glandular body in its excretory ducts and cystic formations. The reasons for the development of hyperplasia can be very diverse and can only be examined using laboratory and instrumental diagnostic methods. The most common causes of the development of the disease are: * long-term poisoning of the body with toxic substances and chemical compounds; * accumulation of “bad” cholesterol in the cavity of the gland, affecting the properties of all its tissue structures; * long-term inflammatory process of the gland parenchyma; * disruption of the outflow of mixed gland secretions due to compression of glandular tissue by other organs and tissues; * mechanical compression of the glands,
