Features of inhalant allergy on nasal endoscopy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Diffuse or polypoid oedema of the middle turbinate or watery secretions seen on nasal endoscopy can be a useful adjunct in the identification and diagnosis of inhalant allergy. These clinical features should be part of the diagnostic workup for patients that includes a clinical history and surrogate markers of allergic sensitisation from the skin and serum.PMID:35726828 | DOI:10.4193/Rhin22.066

CONCLUSIONS: COPD is associated with olfactory dysfunction and the underlying mechanisms for this dysfunction should be elucidated.PMID:34647543 | DOI:10.4193/Rhin21.037

Chicken or the egg: the dilemma of allergic rhinitis versus adenoid hypertrophy.
CONCLUSION: In this study, AH and AR were inversely related. The characteristics of the nasal secretions, itching, sneezing, were predictors of AR in children. PMID: 26030038 [PubMed - in process]

Eicosanoid imbalance correlates in vitro with the pattern of clinical symptoms of Samter's triad.
CONCLUSION: The data presented support the hypothesis of the continuous development of NSAID-triggered hypersensitivity, culminating in Samter's triad. PMID: 23441313 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Role of inflammation in non-allergic rhinitis.
CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that NAR- and NAR with neutrophils behave similarly, showing lower symptom score values and a lower risk of association with comorbidities compared to NAR with eosinophils and mast cells (singularly or mixed). In our belief it is very important to establish the presence and type of inflammation in non-allergic rhinitis patients and nasal cytology is a very useful test in correct differential diagnosis.
