Impact of Middle Turbinectomy on Airflow to the Olfactory Cleft: A Computational Fluid Dynamics Study.
CONCLUSION: MTR increases nasal airflow while decreasing the nasal resistance. Overall, olfactory flux increased for high sorptive (phenylethyl alcohol) and medium sorpitve (l-carvone) odorants. However, the significant variation observed in one of our models suggests that the effects of MTR on the nasal airflow and the resultant olfaction can vary between individuals based on individual anatomic differences.

The growing importance of real-life studies in allergen immunotherapy.
Authors: Incorvaia C, Barberi S, Pastorello E, Ciprandi G Abstract Summary: Real-life studies offer the opportunity of obtaining outcomes suitable in clinical practice, as controlled trials do not mirror the real patients' population observed in clinical practice. This concept is particularly appropriate for allergen immunotherapy (AIT). Therefore, the current review will present and discuss the most recent and relevant studies published on this topic. Globally, 15 real-life studies on AIT efficacy are available until now, the total of patients amounts to 9090, with an average number of 699 patients per study. This...

Preoperative Management of Chronic Rhinosinusitis Prior to Office Balloon Sinus Dilation: A 2011-2014 MarketScan ® Analysis.
CONCLUSION: In-office BSD for CRS was overall associated with less intense management in the preoperative period when compared to FESS. Such differences may reflect ongoing shifts in practice patterns and need to be further investigated. PMID: 30732455 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A Radiological Study Assessing the Prevalence of Frontal Recess Cells and the Most Common Frontal Sinus Drainage Pathways.
CONCLUSION: This study documents the prevalence of frontal cells (classified by IFAC) using a novel preoperative virtual planning software in the Vietnamese population. It demonstrates predominantly medial anteromedial frontal drainage pathways as related to these frontal cells. PMID: 30754987 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Identification of a Novel C16orf57 Mutation in Iranian Patient with Clericuzio-type Poikiloderma with Neutropenia (CPN): A Case Report.
Abstract Poikiloderma is a hereditary pathologic situation in which the appearance of skin rash is associated with epidermal atrophy, telangiectasia, and reticular dyspigmentation skin symptoms of poikiloderma are usually caused by sun damage. The main reason forpoikiloderma is unknown. We introduce a 14- month-old boy who referred to our center with a complaint of fever and cough. Furthermore, hepatosplenomegaly symptoms had been presented at the time of birth and were continuously observed at age one. He had transient thrombocytopenia when he was born due to his prematurity condition, which was resolved during I...

Comprehensive Assessment of Respiratory Complications in Patients with Common Variable Immunodeficiency.
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the importance of monitoring the respiratory tract system even in asymptomatic patients. PFT and CT scans are the most commonly used techniques aiming to identify these patients early aiming to reduce the rate of long-term respiratory complications.

Evaluation of Neo-Osteogenesis in Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis Using a Nasal Polyp Murine Model.
CONCLUSIONS: In the present study, we found the histopathological and radiographic evidence of osteogenesis using a previously established murine eosinophilic CRS NP model. This animal model could provide new insights into the pathophysiology of neo-osteogenesis and provide a basis for developing new therapeutics. PMID: 32009324 [PubMed]

High-level Expression and One-step Purification of Chimeric Antigen Containing HTLV-I-II Diagnostic Epitopes in Escherichia coli.
In this study, our aim was to design a chimeric protein for the simultaneous detection of HTLV-I and HTLV-II antibodies. Immunodominant B cell linear epitopes of envelope and capsid proteins of HTLV-I/-II were selected and linked together; using a suitable amino acid linker and a chimeric antigen (CA). The codon-optimized synthetic DNA encoding the CA was subcloned into the pGS21aexpression vector and CA expressed as His-GST fused protein in E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells. Then the recombinant CA was purified, using the Ni-NTA (Nickle Nitrilotriacetic acid) affinity chromatography under native conditions. The Sodium dodecyl su...

Computed Tomography Findings Can Help Identify Different Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyp Phenotypes.
CONCLUSION: CRSwNP encompasses many subsets of disease, which have varying treatments and intraoperative findings. Preoperative CT findings can be used to differentiate between these groups to improve prediction of diagnoses and patient counseling. PMID: 32375489 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Radiologic Analysis of Balloon Sinuplasty in a Human Cadaver Model: Observed Effects on Sinonasal Anatomy.
CONCLUSIONS: While the goal of balloon sinuplasty is to improve natural sinonasal drainage by dilating existing outflow tracts, as evidenced by radiologic evaluation the procedure appears not to achieve this in all cases, while occasionally creating unintended changes in sinonasal anatomy as well. These unrecognized changes in anatomy may be responsible for the post-procedure change in symptomatology that some patients experience. PMID: 32635741 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A Comparison of Sphenoid Sinus Osteoneogenesis in Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease.
CONCLUSION: Patients with AERD have significantly increased thickness of the sphenoid bone compared to control groups with the most pronounced difference in the intersinus septum. These findings may help clinicians increase suspicion for a diagnosis of AERD who clinically have diffuse nasal polyposis. PMID: 32660262 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Hymenoptera allergy and anaphylaxis: are warmer temperatures changing the impact?
Purpose of review Climate change has brought about many changes in our ecosystem. Prolongation of pollen seasons has been reported, related to earlier frost off in the spring and later onset of frost on in the fall. This review considers recent global evidence that stinging insects are redistributing toward the poles, thereby potentially increasing human exposure and risk of sting events. Recent findings With changing climate, particularly climate warming, range expansion of insects is occurring in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Likewise, stinging insects, such as Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera, are also exp...
