Dual and triple modulator therapy for chronic rhinosinusitis in cystic fibrosis patients
CONCLUSIONS: Triple therapy with ELX/TEZ/IVA is superior to dual therapy with TEZ/IVA in the treatment of CF-CRS, as significantly reduced sinonasal complaints, nasal endoscopy and CT scores were observed after triple therapy, whereas this was not the case for dual therapy.PMID:38530204 | DOI:10.4193/Rhin23.487 (Source: Rhinology)

Taste loss in COVID-19 - psychophysical evidence supporting a low prevalence
Rhinology. 2024 Mar 26. doi: 10.4193/Rhin24.040. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMuch - possibly even too much - has been published about chemosensory dysfunction as a consequence of COVID-19. Studies have reported prevalence of taste loss in up to 89.9% (1), which is in a similar range as COVID-19 related smell loss. However, most of these publications rely solely on patients' self-reports. Only few studies used validated psychophysical tests to specifically address olfaction and gustation. Especially for gustation, it is evident that subjective reporting does not correlate well with more objective psychophysical findings, ...

Objective nasal airflow measures in relation to subjective nasal obstruction, trigeminal function, and olfaction in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis
CONCLUSION: The perception of nasal obstruction does not only depend on nasal airflow, but may also be modulated by trigeminal function and other factors. Thus, the role of objective nasal airflow measures as a sole method of functional nasal obstruction assessment in CRS remains limited.PMID:38507726 | DOI:10.4193/Rhin23.270 (Source: Rhinology)

Validation and shortcomings of the most common mouse model of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
CONCLUSIONS: With the notable exception of local IgE production, the addition of SEB did not induce additional inflammatory or structural change in the sinuses from mice exposed to and challenged with OVA. This model might represent a model for severe upper airway allergy rather than a specific model of human eCRSwNP.PMID:38497676 | DOI:10.4193/Rhin23.331 (Source: Rhinology)
