Management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and coexisting asthma: A systematic review.
CONCLUSION: Both FESS and medical interventions with systemic anti-inflammatory drugs improved nasal outcomes, although their efficacy in relation to the lower airways remains unclear. A low number of studies met inclusion criteria for this systematic review, which emphasizes the need for high-quality trials to explore the treatment of patients with CRSwNP and coexisting asthma.

Remodeling changes of the upper airway with chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionRemodeling features are present in CRS. Tissue eosinophilia and evidence of eosinophil activation is closely associated with remodeling features of CRS, associated mucosal damage and clinical symptoms.

Chronic rhinosinusitis and cystic fibrosis: the interaction between sinus bacteria and mucosal immunity
ConclusionIntramucosal bacteria exist within the sinus mucosa of patients with CF, and in significantly greater numbers than in idiopathic CRS patients. We speculate that intramucosal microcolonies may also exist in the lower respiratory tract mucosa in CF and play a role in disease recalcitrance.

Intestinal lymphoid nodular hyperplasia in children: The relationship to food allergy
ConclusionsIntestinal LNH should be considered a benign finding in children without red flags, because the symptoms are largely self‐limiting. The use of mesalamine or elimination diet does not modify the clinical outcome compared to symptomatic therapy. The presence of food allergy was not predicted by allergy skin testing and was found in a minority of patients.

Cellular proliferation and angiogenesis in nasal polyps of young adult and geriatric patients
ConclusionGeriatric patients have a lower cellular proliferative ability than young adults, and angiogenesis does not significantly differ between the 2 age groups. Cellular proliferation seems to be the cause of the different surgical outcomes between the 2 age groups, whereas angiogenesis has no significant influence on the postoperative course.

Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy with silicone, polypropylene, and T-tube stents; randomized controlled trial of efficacy and safety.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study suggest that efficacy, defined as anatomic and functional success, is equally high for silicone and Prolene stents and lower for otologic T-tube in En-DCR.

Adjunctive traditional Chinese medicine therapy for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis: a population‐based study
ConclusionOur investigation found that 29% of CRS patients used TCM in addition to Western medical treatment. A lower proportion of patients in the TCM group underwent ESS compared with that in the non‐TCM group. These findings may be of value in further studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of TCM use in CRS patients.

Impact of saline irrigation and topical corticosteroids on the postsurgical sinonasal microbiota
ConclusionNasal saline irrigation is not associated with a distinct alteration in the proportional abundance of commensal bacteria or biofilm‐forming pathogens in CRSwNP patients. However, use of topical intranasal corticosteroid sprays in control subjects is associated with a distinct sinonasal microbiota.

Role of inflammation in non-allergic rhinitis.
CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that NAR- and NAR with neutrophils behave similarly, showing lower symptom score values and a lower risk of association with comorbidities compared to NAR with eosinophils and mast cells (singularly or mixed). In our belief it is very important to establish the presence and type of inflammation in non-allergic rhinitis patients and nasal cytology is a very useful test in correct differential diagnosis.

Steroid‐eluting sinus implant for in‐office treatment of recurrent polyposis: a pharmacokinetic study
ConclusionThe reported 100% placement success, negligible systemic exposure to mometasone furoate released over time, lack of adrenal suppression, and the absence of serious adverse events suggest that the implant provides a valid and safe option for the in‐office treatment of recurrent polyposis. Randomized, controlled, blinded clinical studies are underway to provide further evidence of safety and efficacy.

The effect of radiofrequency turbinoplasty vs two other methods in the management of polypoid changes of the middle turbinate: a randomized trial
ConclusionRF middle turbinate turbinoplasty could be considered an alternative to other common approaches, but it needs further long‐term studies before widespread usage.

A comparative and descriptive study of asthma in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.
CONCLUSION: Compared with previous studies, we found a very high prevalence of asthma and, frequently, asthma was undiagnosed. Furthermore, CRSwNPs was associated with chronic bronchitis and, in those with asthma, lower airway obstruction. These results call for a closer collaboration between otorhinolaryngology and respiratory medicine in relation to patients with CRSwNPs, in research as well as in clinical practice.

Mast cell density in cardio-esophageal mucosa.
In this study we wanted to obtain an estimate of mast cell density in this region and compare it with mast cell density in antrum. From April 2007 till March 2010, we chose children (<14 years old) who underwent upper endoscopy and from whom the taken biopsy was stated to be from lower third of esophagus, but in microscopic examination either cardio- esophageal mucosa or only cardiac mucosa was seen. Mast cells were counted by Giemsa stain at ×1000 magnification in 10 fields. 71 children (<14 years old) were included in this study of which, 63.4% (n=45) were female and 36.6% (n=26) were male. The mean age of patient...
