Serum metabolomics identifies uric acid as a possible novel biomarker for predicting recurrence of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
CONCLUSION: Serum metabolic signatures might predict postoperative recurrence in CRSwNP patients. Increased SUA concentrations were found to be associated with a higher risk of future postoperative recurrence in CRSwNP, independent of traditional risk factors.PMID:37602858 | DOI:10.4193/Rhin23.236 (Source: Rhinology)

Ultrasound for management of pediatric nasal fractures
CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound has a high negative predictive value in identifying nasal fractures in children with swollen noses during presentation. This enables to avoid further unnecessary referrals and interventions. Ultrasound-guided closed reduction of nasal fractures demonstrates improved outcomes; however, further large-scale randomized studies are required to validate our findings.PMID:37594057 | DOI:10.4193/Rhin23.176 (Source: Rhinology)
