Clinical  Efficiency and Safety of Magnetic-Controlled Capsule Endoscopy for Gastric Diseases in Aging Patients: Our Preliminary Experience
ConclusionsOur preliminary data support that MCE offers considerable benefit and is general safe for the elderly. We hope such data promote greater awareness of innovative attempts for the specific elderly, and expect multi-center, large-scale trials with randomized controlled design bring optimized strategies for better gastric visibility, efficacy and lower potential risk.

Oligonucleotides —A Novel Promising Therapeutic Option for IBD
Conclusions In this review, we focused on recent and past approaches to test the therapeutic efficacy of oligonucleotide based therapies in IBD. The combining mechanistic mode of oligonucleotide based therapeutics is a targeted action on specific pro-inflammatory molecules, which are over activated in IBD patients and contribute significantly to disease pathogenesis. The proposed high selectivity of the agents is derived from its mode of action, that aims to specifically block certain inflammatory molecular patterns, without a general systemic effect on other molecular targets. It would be important for each oligonucleot...

Efficacy of Dexamethasone Versus Fluticasone Nasal Sprays in Postoperative Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps.
CONCLUSION: There is no significant increased benefit in using a higher dose nasal steroid spray compared to the standard dose nasal steroid spray after ESS. PMID: 30987428 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Lactobacillus plantarum KLDS1.0318 Ameliorates Impaired Intestinal Immunity and Metabolic Disorders in Cyclophosphamide-Treated Mice
Conclusion In conclusion, the present study showed that the oral administration of L. plantarum KLDS1.0318 normalized the parameters altered by CTX-induced toxicities, strengthening intestinal health by regulating the Th1/Th2 balance, ameliorating the intestinal morphology and improving profiles of intestinal microbiota and metabolism. Therefore, our findings suggested that the administration of L. plantarum KLDS1.0318 could be of significant advantage in reducing intestinal immunity impairment caused by cyclophosphamide. Ethics Statement This study was carried out according to the Animal Care Review Committee, Northeas...

Early Versus Late Computed Tomography and Nasal Endoscopy in the Diagnosis of Nasopharyngeal and Paranasal Sinus Malignancy.
CONCLUSIONS: Early NE or CT is associated with a higher likelihood of cancer diagnosis in elderly individuals with a diagnosis of CRS or AR. The clinical utility of this association is limited due to the low prevalence of these malignancies and lack of difference in disease stage and overall survival between diagnostic groups.

What Are the Types of Tracheoesophageal Fistulas?
Discussion Respiratory problems in infants can caused by many things including any type of obstruction from the nose to lung. Neonates and infants are particularly susceptible to changes in the size of the airway because of the physics of airflow resistance. Important reminders about infant airways: Resistance = 1/radius4 (Poiseuille’s equation) therefore even a 1 mm decrease in the airway circumferences increases the airflow resistance x16. Increased airflow causes less pressure along the walls, which can lead to collapse of the walls (Bernoulli’s and Venturi effects). Neonates have smaller lungs relative to ...

Symptom-based patient-reported outcomes in adults with eosinophilic esophagitis: value for treatment monitoring and randomized controlled trial design
Purpose of review In adults with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a chronic, inflammatory immune-mediated condition of the esophagus, both inflammation and fibrosis are likely associated with symptom generation. Therefore, assessing symptom-based patient-reported outcomes (PROs), defined by US Food and Drug Administration as ‘any report of the status of a patient's health condition that comes directly from the patients, without interpretation of the patient's response by a clinician or anyone else’, is important in the context of trials and observational studies of emerging therapies. Recent findings For purposes o...

Eosinophilic esophagitis: Pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management.
Abstract Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a multifactorial esophageal inflammation, with a genetic predisposition, which combines a deficient esophageal mucosal barrier, an abnormal immune reaction to environmental allergens mediated by Th2 interleukins, immediate esophageal lesions and dysmotility, with secondary remodeling and fibrosis. Symptoms include reflux, abdominal pain, and food impaction, with a variation according to age. Fibroscopy shows major and minor endoscopic and histologic criteria, with a mucosal count≥15 eosinophils/high power field (Eo/hpf). A new entity has been defined, where gastroesopha...

Clinical Guidelines on Chronic Rhinosinusitis in Children
AbstractPurpose of ReviewPediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent problem that can elude diagnosis. In addition, given the burgeoning interest in pediatric sinonasal disease, treatment modalities are constantly evolving.Recent FindingsThe diagnosis of pediatric CRS is primarily based on clinical history and signs supported by objective findings (i.e., nasal endoscopy and/or computed tomography (CT) imaging). Cultures are indicated in patients who have not responded to medical therapy or have significant comorbidities. Nasal saline irrigation, nasal saline spray, and oral antibiotics are currently recommended f...

Peri-operative, intravenous clindamycin may improve the resolution rate of hypertension after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in morbidly obese patients
ConclusionProphylactic peri-operative, intravenous clindamycin was associated with significantly increased resolution of post-operative hypertension compared to cefazolin. This finding was not observed in SG patients. Future studies are needed to confirm the mechanism of action for this novel finding is due to the differing modifications of the gastrointestinal microflora after RYGB resulting from the specific peri-operative antibiotic administered.

Correlation between systemic inflammatory response and quality of life in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionLocal and systemic gene expression involved in T ‐cell immune signaling was found to be significantly altered in the blood and sinonasal tissues of patients with CRS compared to controls and significantly correlated to disease severity and QOL in patients with CRS.

Formation of papillary mucosa folds and enhancement of epithelial barrier in odontogenic sinusitis
ConclusionThe odontogenic infections might induce the formation of papillary mucosa folds and enhance the epithelial TJ barrier function. OS exhibited as lymphocyte and plasma cell –dominant cellular phenotypes and Th17 cytokine profiles.

Draf IIB with superior septectomy: finding the “middle ground”
ConclusionPerforming ESS with IIb+SS provides similar irrigation delivery benefits to ESS with EMLP, without the need for altering natural sinus outflow and creating circumferential scarring. Further studies evaluating its use in patients that are high risk for revision surgery are needed.
