Impaired eating ‐related quality of life in chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionDisruptions in eating ‐related QOL cannot be fully explained by objective smell or taste testing alone. We identified AERD and depression as independent risk factors for greater odds of impaired eating‐related QOL in CRS. Improved orthonasal threshold scores were independently associated with better eating‐related QOL.

Endoscopic Evaluation of the Eustachian Tube: assessment of a novel tool for grading Eustachian tube inflammation
ConclusionThe 3ET comprising these 4 physical findings has acceptable interrater and intrarater reliability, and may be applied to future clinical studies of ET function and disease.

Induction of smell through transethmoid electrical stimulation of the olfactory bulb
ConclusionThis is the first report of induced smell through transethmoid electrical stimulation of the olfactory bulb. These results provide a proof of concept for efforts in development of an olfactory implant system.

Early Infant Risk Factors for Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Conclusions: Acid-blocking medications and antibiotics during infancy were associated with later diagnosis of EoE. Erythema toxicum neonatorum, an eosinophilic immune phenomenon, was strongly associated with EoE. Identifying early infant risk factors for EoE may help to risk stratify the need for endoscopy.

Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis Is Associated With Increased Lamina Propria Immunoglobulin G4-Positive Plasma Cells
Conclusions: We demonstrate that active esophagitis in pediatric EoE patients is associated with elevated levels of IgG4-positive plasma cells, which was more significant in EoE patients with a documented food allergy. Our study also adds to the growing literature that EoE may involve more than just an exaggerated TH2 immune response.

Utility of narrow band imaging in the diagnosis of middle turbinate head edema
ConclusionsNBI can differentiate edematous from normal mucosa. The potential for an objective measure of mucosal edema may assist research efforts and may provide a more sensitive tool for subtle mucosal inflammatory changes.

Diagnostic challenges of celiac disease in a young child: A case report and a review of the literature
We present the case of a 1-year-old male child, with a history of idiopathic pericardial effusion, admitted in our clinic for severe abdominal bloating, irritability, loss of appetite and intermittent diarrheic stools. The clinical findings were: influenced general status, irritability, distended abdomen, and diffuse abdominal tenderness. Diagnoses: The initial laboratory tests revealed anemia, leukocytosis, increased inflammatory biomarkers, high levels of transaminases, and hypoalbuminemia. The stool culture identified an enterocolitis with enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli). Interventions: We initiated an...

Treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis in the pediatric patient: an evidence-based approach
Conclusion: Applying evidence-based therapies and a practical management algorithm provide an effective control of EoE.What is Known:•Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) now constitutes the main cause of dysphagia and food impaction in children, adolescents, and young adults.•Its chronic course and frequent progression to subepithelial fibrosis leading to strictures and narrow-caliber esophagus indicate the need for treatment.What is New:•Therapeutic goals in children with EoE include resolution of esophageal symptoms, to cure esophageal inflammation (mucosal healing) and restore a proper esophageal caliber in case of fib...

Dietary therapy for eosinophilic esophagitis
Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic, immune-mediated esophageal disease triggered predominantly, but not exclusively, by food antigens. Presently, available food allergy tests are suboptimal to predict food triggers for eosinophilic esophagitis, especially in adults. Elemental diets (exclusive feeding with amino acid –based formulas) and empiric 6-food elimination diets (withdrawing milk, wheat, egg, soy, nuts, and fish/seafood for 6 weeks) have consistently shown the best efficacy rates. However, their high level of restriction and need for multiple endoscopies have hampered their implementation in clinical practice.

Blood Eosinophil Beta1-Integrin Activation Correlates with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) Disease Activity
Monitoring of EoE would benefit from biomarkers to replace invasive endoscopy and pathology. We hypothesized that beta1-integrin activation, which enables arrest of eosinophils in inflamed vessels and predicts disease activity in non-severe asthma, correlates with eosinophilic inflammation and disease activity in EoE.
