Predicting Odontogenic Sinusitis in Unilateral Sinus Disease: A Prospective, Multivariate Analysis.
CONCLUSION: With unilateral maxillary sinus disease, the following features were significantly associated with ODS: foul smell, ipsilateral facial pressure, middle meatal pus on endoscopy, and any frontal sinus opacification on sinus CT. Additionally, any sphenoid sinus opacification on CT was inversely related to ODS. Presence or absence of these clinical variables can be used to increase or decrease one's suspicion of an odontogenic source of sinusitis. PMID: 32646233 [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]

Assesment of Prelacrimal Recess in Patients With Maxillary Sinus Hypoplasia Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography.
CONCLUSIONS: The width of the antero-posterior PLR in patients with Maxillary Sinus Hypoplasia was found to be significantly lower in comparison to individuals with normal maxillary sinuses in the measurements performed on paranasal Cone Beam Computed Tomography scans. Hence, while planning a Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery with prelacrimal recess approach for maxillary sinus, the anatomical structure of the naso-sinusoidal region should be carefully analyzed, and individual anatomical variations such as Maxillary Sinus Hypoplasia should not be ignored.

Diagnostic Criteria for Odontogenic Sinusitis: A Systematic Review.
CONCLUSIONS: Current diagnostic criteria for odontogenic sinusitis are extremely heterogeneous. Establishing shared diagnostic criteria aimed at defining both sinusitis and related odontogenic foci would spur collaboration between investigators and support more comprehensive outcomes evaluations together with a better understanding of treatment options.

Sinonasal Anatomic Variants in Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis.
CONCLUSION: AV are more common on the sides with AFRS compared to healthy sides, with the presence of CB reaching unquestionable statistical significance. Further study is needed to determine the possible association of AV, especially concha bullosa, with the pathophysiology of AFRS. PMID: 33283537 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Mucosal Eosinophilia and Neutrophilia Are Not Associated With QOL or Olfactory Function in Chronic Rhinosinusitis.
CONCLUSION: Neither the presence of mucosal eosinophilia nor mucosal neutrophilia demonstrated significant associations with SNOT-22 quality-of-life or BSIT olfactory function scores when controlling for comorbid nasal polyposis. PMID: 33430615 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Dupilumab improves upper- and lower-airway disease control in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and asthma.
CONCLUSION: Dupilumab improved upper- and lower-airway outcome measures and HRQoL in patients with severe CRSwNP and comorbid asthma, and was well tolerated. PMID: 33465455 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in Patients with Severe Pneumonia in Khuzestan Province, Iran.
This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of SARS-CoV-2 in hospitalized patients with an acute respiratory infection (ARI). During an outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2, the nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs were collected from 909 hospitalized patients with severe pneumonia, including 517 (56.9%) males and 392 (43.1%) females. All the collected samples were from different cities of Khuzestan province from 19 February to- 27 March 2020. The RNA was extracted from samples and subjected to real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2. Simultaneously, the computerized tomography (CT) scan ...

Microbiology, Histopathology, and Radiographic Findings in Silent Sinus Syndrome.
CONCLUSION: These data support the hypothesis that the pathogenesis of SSS is more likely due to anatomical/mechanical factors than inflammatory/microbiological factors. PMID: 33463370 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Radioiodine treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer despite history of 'iodine allergy'.
Abstract UNLABELLED: Radioiodine ((131)I) is a critical component in the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer. We recently saw a patient with thyroid cancer who was hesitant to take (131)I treatment because he had previously encountered an allergic reaction to administration of iodine-containing radiocontrast agent for computed tomography (CT) scanning. We were able to administer (131)I treatment after discussion that his anaphylactic reaction was not due to iodine and that radioiodine ((131)I) treatment is unlikely to cause a reaction in the patient. LEARNING POINTS: An allergy to iodine itself does no...

Premedication of pregnant patients with history of iodinated contrast allergy
Abstract Pregnant patients can receive allergy premedication prior to a contrast-enhanced computed tomography exam if the exam is indicated. The risks and benefits of allergy premedication for pregnant patients will be discussed, as well as imaging strategies for the pregnant patient with a contrast allergy. Alternative imaging including ultrasound, noncontrast magnetic resonance imaging, or noncontrast computed tomography can be diagnostic depending on the clinical scenario and is usually preferred, allowing physicians to avoid giving allergy premedication in pregnancy, a 13  h delay, and risking a breakthrough reaction.

Allergy accelerates the disease progression of chronic rhinosinusitis.
CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE: Allergy may accelerate the disease progression of CRS. The presence of the serum-specific IgE was correlated with peripheral eosinophil percentage, especially in the CRSwNP patients. PMID: 30714458 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Olfactory‐specific quality of life outcomes after endoscopic sinus surgery
ConclusionOlfaction‐specific QOL is worse in patients with polyps and comorbid allergy. Significant improvements in olfaction‐specific QOL are seen after ESS, with the greatest gains seen in those with worse CT scores at baseline.
