Efficacy of targeted middle meatal antibiotics and endoscopic sinus surgery.
CONCLUSION: Antibiotic-soaked synthetic bioabsorbable MM sponges show equivalent efficacy in controlling post ESS infections compared with conventional postoperative oral antibiotics. Topical antibiotic delivery to the MM via bioabsorbable sponges may reduce the need for postoperative systemic antibiotics and provide a cost-effective alternative that eliminates the issues of antibiotic side effects, drug-drug interactions, and medication compliance in the postoperative setting.

Sinonasal respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartomas: Series of 51 cases and literature review.
CONCLUSION: REAHs are rare sinonasal lesions that may appear as localized, isolated masses or more diffuse when in conjunction with other inflammatory processes. Irrespective of clinical presentation, endoscopic removal appears to be curative. Differentiation from more aggressive lesions is paramount to avoid unnecessarily radical surgery for an otherwise benign process. PMID: 23883815 [PubMed - in process]

Does surgery of the olfactory clefts modify the sense of smell?
CONCLUSION: The resection of REAH or EP of the OC in patients with NP does not worsen but instead can improve the sense of smell after surgery. PMID: 23883814 [PubMed - in process]

Technical feasibility of endoscopic eustachian tube catheter placement: A cadaveric analysis.
CONCLUSION: These cadaveric data suggest that a semirigid catheter provides the technical capability to reversibly occlude the ET via the transnasal endoscopic route. Further confirmation is necessary in human studies to determine its effectiveness for management of pET. PMID: 23883813 [PubMed - in process]

Olfactory dysfunction and asthma as risk factors for poor quality of life in upper airway diseases.
CONCLUSION: Olfactory dysfunction was found to decrease QoL among patients. Anosmia, CRS disease, and asthma as clinical predictors were proved to be independently correlated with QoL, anxiety, and depression levels. PMID: 23883811 [PubMed - in process]

Schneiderian papillomas: Comparative review of exophytic, oncocytic, and inverted types.
CONCLUSION: The inverted and exophytic type are the most common sinonasal papillomas, with the inverted type having an 8% rate of malignant transformation in this study. In contrast, the oncocytic type was not associated with dysplasia or malignancy in our series despite reports in the literature indicating malignant potential. History of CRS and papilloma location can provide clues to the histological subtype, which is important for surgical planning and patient counseling. PMID: 23883810 [PubMed - in process]

The emerging role of the bitter taste receptor T2R38 in upper respiratory infection and chronic rhinosinusitis.
CONCLUSION: T2R38 appears to be an important mediator of sinonasal epithelial defense, but further study is needed to more clearly determine how TAS2R38 genotype affects patient outcomes in CRS and other upper airway diseases. PMID: 23883809 [PubMed - in process]

Increased expression of high-mobility group protein B1 in chronic rhinosinusitis.
CONCLUSION: HMGB1 is increased in the paranasal sinus mucosa of patients with CRS. These results suggest a possible contribution of HMGB1 in the pathophysiology of CRS. PMID: 23883808 [PubMed - in process]

Effect of nasal anti-inflammatory treatment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
CONCLUSION: Nasal FF treatment in COPD patients significantly reduced sinonasal symptoms, in parallel with reduced IL-8 in nasal secretion levels and cough. PMID: 23883807 [PubMed - in process]

Common variable immunodeficiency.
Abstract Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a common primary immunodeficiency characterized by a failure in B-cell differentiation with defective immunoglobulin production. Affected patients are uniquely susceptible to recurrent infection with encapsulated organisms and have an increased propensity for the development of inflammatory and autoimmune manifestations. The diagnosis of CVID is commonly delayed and the underlying cause of the disorder is not understood. Replacement antibody therapy reduces the risk of serious infections. However, optimal treatment regimens for the uncommon manifestations associa...

Unilateral inferior turbinate bone hypertrophy: Is it compensatory or congenital?
CONCLUSION: We claim that these results indicate that skeletal and soft tissue IT hypertrophy seem to be compensatory and evolves with age rather than being congenital. Therefore, skeletal enlargement is prominent in anterior, middle, and posterior thirds of HIT in patients with septal deviation in adults but not in the pediatric group.

The effects of mometasone furoate and desloratadine in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome patients with allergic rhinitis.
CONCLUSION: Nasal obstruction due to nasal congestion causes increases in airway resistance and can lead to development of OSAS. We concluded that treating AR with Ns has both positive effects on OSAS and daily activity. However, adding Ah to this treatment did not show improved effects compared with placebo treatment.

Sinonasal complications resulting from dental treatment: Outcome-oriented proposal of classification and surgical protocol.
CONCLUSION: The results obtained are very encouraging. The majority of patients (254/257; 98.8%) were successfully treated with the proposed protocols. These results seem to indicate that the rationalization of surgical treatment protocols according to the initial clinical situation may significantly improve the clinical outcome.

Objective olfactory outcomes after revision endoscopic sinus surgery.
CONCLUSION: RESS resulted in objective evidence of olfactory improvement in approximately one-half of our cohort over 16 months of follow-up and offers a treatment option for an otherwise poor prognosis condition. PMID: 23883800 [PubMed - in process]
