Weekly Personal Ozone Exposure and Respiratory Health in a Panel of Greek Schoolchildren
Conclusions: The study provides evidence that airway inflammation and the frequency of respiratory symptoms increase, whereas lung function decreases with increased ozone exposure in schoolchildren. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP635 Received: 09 June 2016 Revised: 08 March 2017 Accepted: 13 March 2017 Published: 21 July 2017 Please address correspondence to A.

Comorbidities in patients with all‐positive symptoms on sinonasal outcomes test quality‐of‐life instrument
ConclusionThe SNOT‐20 questionnaire assists clinicians to monitor outcomes in patients treated for CRS. However, clinicians should suspect other underlying chronic conditions in SNOT‐20 pan‐positive patients. Level of Evidence3B. Laryngoscope, 2015

Aspirin sensitivity does not compromise quality‐of‐life outcomes in patients with samter's triad
ConclusionsAlthough Samter's triad patients present with more severe disease and are more likely to undergo revision surgery, they have postoperative quality‐of‐life outcomes that are comparable to patients with eCRSwP who are not aspirin sensitive. This is the first study to utilize a disease‐specific, validated outcomes instrument in comparing Samter's triad patients with aspirin‐tolerant patients who have nasal polyposis and tissue eosinophilia. Level of Evidence4. Laryngoscope, 2013

Teaching and assessing endoscopic sinus surgery skills on a validated low‐cost task trainer
Conclusions:The sinus surgery task trainer provides an effective means of teaching and evaluating nasal endoscopy and basic sinus surgery skills for novice surgeons. With repeated practice, there was significant improvement in performance. An OSATS using the sinus surgery task trainer suggests that we can effectively measure endoscopic sinus surgery ability with the potential to reliably determine competency outside the operating room.
