Asthma onset pattern and patient outcomes in a chronic rhinosinusitis population
ConclusionWhile CRS‐specific and asthma‐specific patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) were not significantly different among groups, CRS patients with late‐onset asthma had poorer physical function, more frequent nasal polyposis, and required increased treatment for CRS. Late‐onset asthma may predict more severe disease in CRS.

Corticosteroid nasal irrigations are more effective than simple sprays in a randomized double ‐blinded placebo‐controlled trial for chronic rhinosinusitis after sinus surgery
ConclusionIn the setting of diffuse or patchy CRS disease, the use of corticosteroid delivered by nasal irrigation is superior to simple nasal spray in postsurgical patients.

Evolution in the Surgical Management of Chronic Rhinosinusitis: Current Indications and Pitfalls
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) consists of a range of inflammatory conditions in the sinuses that may result in clinical symptoms and the underlying pathophysiology and its relationship to lower airway disease is complex. Current definitions of CRS may serve more as an indication for potential surgical intervention rather than a marker of disease state. CRS can be asymptomatic and may require medical management to avoid disease progression and to minimize the risk of lower airway disease. Endoscopic surgery has undergone a significant evolution and refinement but the most common surgical complication remains persistent infla...

Quality of recovery in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery after general anesthesia: total intravenous anesthesia vs desflurane anesthesia
ConclusionThis study shows that the quality of recovery for endoscopic sinus surgery patients was better with TIVA than with desflurane anesthesia. A high LM score was related to poorer recovery quality.

Computational fluid dynamics after endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery —possible empty nose syndrome in the context of middle turbinate resection
ConclusionThese results suggest that turbinectomy and/or posterior septectomy may have a varying functional impact and that ENS symptoms go beyond anatomy and correlate with aerodynamic changes. The findings open the door for CFD as a potential objective diagnosis tool for ENS.

Socioeconomic factors impact quality of life outcomes and olfactory measures in chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionsPreoperative olfactory function and postoperative quality of life (QOL) improvement were associated with metrics of socioeconomic status in patients with CRS electing ESS. The odds of experiencing a clinically meaningful QOL improvement were more than twice as likely for patients with the highest household income level compared to other income tiers. Further investigation is warranted to identify barriers to postoperative improvement.

Outcomes of sinonasal inverted papilloma resection by surgical approach: an updated systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionAn enlarging and maturing body of literature continues to indicate that endoscopic approaches result in significantly lower recurrence rates than open approaches for surgical resection of SIP.

Clinical  Efficiency and Safety of Magnetic-Controlled Capsule Endoscopy for Gastric Diseases in Aging Patients: Our Preliminary Experience
ConclusionsOur preliminary data support that MCE offers considerable benefit and is general safe for the elderly. We hope such data promote greater awareness of innovative attempts for the specific elderly, and expect multi-center, large-scale trials with randomized controlled design bring optimized strategies for better gastric visibility, efficacy and lower potential risk.

Loss-of-Function in SMAD4 Might Not Be Critical for Human Natural Killer Cell Responsiveness to TGF- β
This study was carried out in accordance with approval of the Melbourne Health and Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research's Human Research Ethics Committee (approval number: 2013.081). All subjects gave written informed consent for participation and publication. Results and Discussion TGF-β signaling in NK cells is associated with: phosphorylation in SMAD2 and 3, inhibition of IL-15-induced metabolism/proliferation, simultaneous downregulation of CD44, CD49e, and Eomes, and upregulation of CD16 and CD49a expression (7, 10). SMAD family member 4 (SMAD4) belongs to the SMAD family of transcript...

Estimation of surgeons ’ ergonomic dynamics with a structured light system during endoscopic surgery
ConclusionSignificant musculoskeletal symptoms were reported after an endoscopic operation by both the resident and the practicing otolaryngologists. All surgeons obtained a high RULA score, meaning that urgent changes are required in the task.

Endoscopic repair of spontaneous skull base defects decreases the incidence rate of intracranial complications
ConclusionSpontaneous skull base defects pose significant risk for life ‐threatening ICCs. Our findings reveal significantly elevated odds of ICC development associated with resolved CSF rhinorrhea, lower BMI, longer duration of symptoms, and defect location. Endoscopic repair is highly successful with low morbidity and significantly reduces the incidence rate of intr acranial complications.

Comparison of steroid ‐releasing stents vs nonabsorbable packing as middle meatal spacers
ConclusionIn this study, nonabsorbable packing materials showed significant superior middle meatal spacing capacities as evidenced by greater middle turbinate medialization capability at the first postoperative visit. Additionally, patients with this type of packing saw improvements in their SNOT ‐22 scores at the 20‐day postoperative visit. This study showed that there was no significant improvement in postoperative outcomes with drug‐eluting stents when compared to nonabsorbable packing.
