Long‐term results of endoscopic sinus surgery–oriented treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with asthma

Oral plus nasal corticosteroids improve smell, nasal congestion, and inflammation in sino‐nasal polyposis
ConclusionsCombined oral and intranasal corticosteroids improve smell and nasal congestion and decrease nasal inflammation, as measured by reduced tissue eosinophilia and increased detection of nNO. Severity of smell loss correlates with degree of nasal congestion but not with inflammation, as measured by tissue eosinophilia or nasally exhaled nNO. Our findings suggest that improvement in smell may be related to improved conduction of odorants to the olfactory neuroepithelium.

Sleep quality and disease severity in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionThe majority of patients with CRS have a poor quality of sleep, as measured by the PSQI survey. Poor sleep quality is significantly associated with CRS‐specific QOL, gender, comorbid depression, and tobacco use, but not CT score or endoscopy grade.

Primary care and upfront computed tomography scanning in the diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis: A cost‐based decision analysis
ConclusionsIn all scenarios, confirming diagnosis with CT scanning prior to treatment or referral is more cost‐efficient than presuming a diagnosis of CRS based on symptoms alone.

Diagnosis and treatment of traumatic optic neuropathy with carotid artery cavernous segment pseudoaneurysm
ConclusionsThere is a possibility of fatal epistaxis for traumatic optic neuropathy with carotid artery cavernous segment pseudoaneurysm. Endoscopic optic nerve decompression treatment (EOND) is not suitable for these cases; instead, it is recommended that patients with traumatic optic neuropathy go through vascular‐enhanced computed tomography screening. Suspected cases should be diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography and be treated by embolization in a timely manner, with stent vascular interventional embolization being the ideal choice.

Use of olfactory training in post‐traumatic and postinfectious olfactory dysfunction
ConclusionsThe present study suggests that a 16‐week short‐term exposure to specific odors may increase olfactory sensitivity in patients with postinfectious and post‐traumatic olfactory dysfunction.

Complications of primary and revision functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionThe rate of major complications (0.36%) associated with primary FESS is lower than earlier reports. The rate of major complications following revision FESS (0.46%) was found to be similar to primary cases. IGS, insurance status, age, and extent of surgery were found to be associated with an increased risk of major complications following FESS.

Antisomnogenic cytokines, quality of life, and chronic rhinosinusitis: A pilot study
ConclusionsPatients with CRS exhibited behavioral changes commonly referred to as sickness behavior, which include poor sleep quality and reduced QOL. The upregulation of IL‐4 and TGF‐β may contribute to inflammatory brain‐mediated effects on sleep quality, whereas IL‐13 may be a pleiotropic signaling molecule influencing sleep, QOL, and CRS disease severity.

Correlation between bacterial biofilms and osteitis in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionA total of 84.8% of the bone underlying mucosa with BBF had some form of osteitis in ethmoid sinus, and approximately 46.4% of CRS patients were from a subgroup with both BBF and osteitis. The volume of BBF correlated well with severity of osteitis in CRS patients.

Central skull base osteomyelitis
ConclusionsOsteomyelitis of the central skull base poses significant challenges for timely and accurate diagnosis. Aggressive management with antimicrobials, coupled with surgical debridement in select cases, may avoid serious neurologic morbidity and mortality.

Informed consent when prescribing medication: A randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsPatients in general did not remember discussing adverse prednisone risks with their physician even a short time after the discussion took place. Although the patient handout resulted in improved recall of risks following the prescription of prednisone, its importance in the informed medication consent process remains an open question.

The impact of comorbid migraine on quality‐of‐life outcomes after endoscopic sinus surgery
ConclusionPatients with comorbid migraine and CRS are more likely to have less severe evidence of disease and worse preoperative baseline QOL scores. This may imply that comorbid migraine disorder, in the setting of CRS, compels these patients to seek surgical management earlier in the disease process. Regardless, ESS provides comparable improvement for both patients with and without comorbid migraine.
