Allergy, Immunotherapy, and Alternative Treatments for Dizziness
Allergic reactions may result in central symptoms of dizziness, including nonspecific chronic imbalance, Meniere's disease, and autoimmune inner ear disease. Excepting first-generation antihistamines, and short-term use of steroids, most pharmacotherapies used to treat allergic rhinitis have limited benefit in treating allergically induced or related dizziness. Allergy immunotherapy and/or an elimination diet for diagnosed food allergies have been found to be effective treatments. Individuals diagnosed with autoimmune inner ear disease remain challenging to treat and may require high-dose, long-term steroid treatment, biol...

Immunosuppressive Regulation of Dendritic Cells and T Cells in Allergic Rhinitis by Semaphorin 3A
CONCLUSION: AR presented with low expression of Sema3A in nasal mucosa, and Sema3A could decrease DC maturation, T cell proliferation, and Treg polarization.PMID:33761786 | DOI:10.1177/19458924211005592

Localized carbon dioxide laser treatment of a recalcitrant oral ulceration in pemphigus vulgaris
ConclusionsAdjunctive procedures that can facilitate a decrease in the cumulative dosages of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants have great value in the management of PV. CO2 laser vaporization is a safe procedure with minimal morbidity and no long-term side effects and should be considered as an adjunctive treatment option for management of recalcitrant lesions in patients with oral PV.

Immunophenotypic characterization and distribution of plasmacytoid dendritic cells in chronic periapical lesions
This study aimed to investigate the immunoexpression pattern and tissular distribution of pDC markers in radicular cysts (RCs) and periapical granulomas (PGs) in an attempt to understand their roles in the pathogenesis of chronic periapical lesions.

Allergic rhinitis and its relationship with autoimmune thyroiod diseases.
CONCLUSION: The incidence of HT in the general population is 1.5%; in contrast, it was observed in 16.3% of our patients with AR, which represented a much higher rate than that in the overall population. Graves disease was not detected in our study subjects. A high incidence of HT in patients with AR, in which Th2 responses are dominant, indicates that further studies of the relationships among atopy, autoimmune diseases, and Th cell subgroups are needed.

Higher antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (C-ANCA) titers are associated with increased overall healthcare use in patients with sinonasal manifestations of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA).
CONCLUSION: Sinonasal GPA patients with presenting C-ANCA titers more than or equal to 1:80 demonstrated significantly greater overall healthcare use than their lower C-ANCA level counterparts (less than 1:80). However, no significant differences in otolaryngology resource use or LM scores were evident between the two titer groups.

Nasal mucosa narrow band imaging in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener granulomatosis): A preliminary study.
CONCLUSION: Nasal mucosa NBI endoscopy can be considered a promising rapid and noninvasive live imaging technique for nasal mucosa GPA that, based on further study, could become a supplementary diagnostic tool in the complex workup of GPA and vasculitis.
