Nasal versus tracheobronchial biopsies to diagnose primary ciliary dyskinesia: A meta ‐analysis
ConclusionTissue biopsy is one component of diagnosing PCD. We found no significant difference between biopsy sites in terms of obtaining an adequate ciliary sample for EM evaluation. This suggests that nasal biopsy should be preferred for patients old enough to tolerate an office biopsy without the need for general anesthesia. The merits of nasal versus tracheobronchial biopsy in the operating room depend more on the risks and benefits of the procedure being performed. Level of EvidenceNA Laryngoscope, 127:6–13, 2017

Arterial ligation versus embolization in epistaxis management: Counterintuitive national trends
ConclusionCompared to embolization, ligation is associated with significantly decreased hospital charges and shorter hospital stay, without an increase in complication rates. Counterintuitively, ligation appears to be trending downward nationally in its use relative to embolization. Level of Evidence2C. Laryngoscope, 2016

Elimination of pain improves specificity of clinical diagnostic criteria for adult chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionClinical diagnostic criteria overestimate the prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis. Removing facial pain, ear pain, dental pain, and headache increased specificity without a concordant loss in sensitivity. Given the high prevalence of sinusitis, improved clinical diagnostic criteria may assist primary care providers in more accurately predicting the presence of inflammation, thereby reducing inappropriate antibiotic use or delayed referral for evaluation of primary headache syndromes.

Preoperative β‐blockade and hypertension in the first hour of functional endoscopic sinus surgery
ConclusionsPreoperative β‐blocker use is an independent predictor of an exaggerated hypertensive response within the first hour of operative time. An exaggerated hypertensive effect should be anticipated in patients presenting for FESS with established pharmacologic β‐blockade, and caution should be applied to use of epinephrine‐containing solutions.

Balloon Eustachian tuboplasty under local anesthesia: Is it feasible?
ConclusionBET is a safe and feasible procedure under monitored anesthesia care, including local anesthesia along with sedation and analgesia. There is need for further methodological improvement to reduce pain and discomfort during the operation. Level of Evidence4. Laryngoscope, 2017

Safe treatment of ethmoid sinusitis utilizing minimally invasive ethmoid punch sinusotomy (EPS) in chronic rhinosinusitis without polyposis (CRSsNP) patients
ConclusionsThis feasibility study demonstrates that EPS appears to be a safe minimally invasive procedure to treat ethmoid sinusitis in CRSsNP patients unresponsive to medical therapy that establishes ethmoid ventilation, and likely improves effective sinus irrigation. Conducting a clinical trial would be appropriate in assessing a potential role for EPS in the management of this condition. Level of Evidence4. Laryngoscope, 2017

Intranasal trigeminal function in patients with empty nose syndrome
ConclusionsThis study demonstrates significantly impaired intranasal trigeminal function in ENS patients when compared with ITR patients and controls. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify the role of preoperative trigeminal function of these patients and the contribution of surgery to this impairment. Level of Evidence3b.

Can contaminated water be rendered safe for nasal saline irrigations?
ConclusionsCarbon filtration reduces contamination but does not sterilize water and is thus unsafe for preparation of nasal saline irrigant. Boiling and UV treatment resulted in sterilization and are equivalent to purchased sterile water. Ultraviolet treatment was found to be safe, convenient, and a cost‐effective alternative to purchased sterile water. Level of EvidenceNA Laryngoscope, 2017

Silent sinus syndrome after facial trauma: A case report and literature review
ConclusionRecent emergence of case reports of SSS postorbital and facial trauma challenge the current exclusion criteria of precedent facial trauma. Posttraumatic SSS is rare, but the availability of cross‐sectional imaging pre‐ and postdevelopment of SSS makes a strong case for a causal relationship. Laryngoscope, 2017

Computational fluid dynamics and trigeminal sensory examinations of empty nose syndrome patients
ConclusionThe results indicated that a combinatory of factors, including paradoxically distorted nasal aerodynamic, impaired sensorineural sensitivity, and potential predisposing conditions, may contribute to the development of ENS. Level of Evidence3b. Laryngoscope, 2017

Modified transnasal endoscopic medial maxillectomy through prelacrimal duct approach

Smoking: An independent risk factor for lost productivity in chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionsSmoking (likely driven by active smoking) is independently associated with missed days of work or school in patients with CRS. Further study is needed to determine whether interventions directed at smoking may impact CRS‐related productivity loss. Level of Evidence2c Laryngoscope, 2017

Periodic olfactory assessment in patients undergoing skull base surgery with preservation of the olfactory strip
ConclusionsExpanded endoscopic approaches to skull base tumors involving reconstruction with an NSF are associated with a short‐term negative impact on olfaction. Olfaction does not seem to be affected by the surgical resection of pituitary adenomas associated with rescue flaps. Identification of the olfactory epithelium and meticulous harvesting of the NSF are critical to preserve olfaction. Level of Evidence4. Laryngoscope, 2017
