A systematic review of randomised controlled trials on topical nasal steroids
CONCLUSIONS: BDP nasal spray is one of the most frequently prescribed INC for rhinitis and rhinosinusitis. Treatment with BDP resulted in significant and clinically meaningful improvements in nasal symptoms associated with AR and CRS. BDP is well tolerated, and the safety profile is similar to that of placebo in most patients. These results, in conjunction with the significant benefit reported in subjects with CRS and AR, provide convincing evidence of the overall effectiveness of BDP for the treatment of the full spectrum of sinonasal disease.PMID:38651550 | DOI:10.14639/0392-100X-N2745 (Source: Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica)

Microsurgery in carotid body paraganglioma
CONCLUSIONS: The small study size and its retrospective nature suggests caution; however, our results show that microsurgery can allow a safe and precise dissection of the carotids and nerves.PMID:38651551 | DOI:10.14639/0392-100X-N2761 (Source: Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica)

Nasal nitric oxide measurement in allergic rhinitis and non-allergic rhinitis: a meta-analysis
Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital. 2024 Apr;44(2):100-112. doi: 10.14639/0392-100X-N2634.ABSTRACTThe goal of this meta-analysis was to study nasal nitric oxide (nNO) measurements in allergic rhinitis (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis (non-AR). The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (no: CRD4202124828). Electronic databases from PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane were all thoroughly searched and studies were chosen based on the qualifying requirements. The quality of the studies was evaluated by Joanna Briggs Institute evaluation tools, and publication bias using funnel plots. The meta-analysis included 1...

Binaural hearing in monaural conductive or mixed hearing loss fitted with unilateral Bonebridge
CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that the use of a unilateral BCI in patients affected by monaural conductive or mixed hearing loss can improve speech perception under noise conditions due to the summation effect and to the decrease of the head shadow effect. However, since monaural BCIs might lead to discomfort under noise conditions in some subjects, a pre-operative assessment of the possible individual benefit of a monaural BCI should be carried out in patients affected by unilateral conductive or mixed hearing loss in order to investigate the possible additional effect of the fitting of hearing aids.PMID:38651553 | DOI:10....

Surgical management of advanced sinonasal cancer: a 10-year mono-institutional experience
CONCLUSIONS: When endoscopic endonasal surgery is contraindicated and chemoradiotherapy is not appropriate, craniofacial and transfacial approaches still represent an option to consider, despite the non-negligible morbidity.PMID:38651554 | DOI:10.14639/0392-100X-N2375 (Source: Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica)

Measuring financial toxicity in head and neck cancer: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: FT is a relatively new challenge in head and neck cancer treatment, whose expenses are higher than therapies for other cancers. A universal method to assess FT and a unified guideline for the administration of questionnaires are needed to mitigate FT and to improve patient outcomes.PMID:38420716 | PMC:PMC10914354 | DOI:10.14639/0392-100X-N2762 (Source: Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica)

Management of nasal vestibule carcinomas: recommendations by the Oncological Committee of the Italian Society of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: The Committee emphasises the critical role of an accurate classification in clinical practice and encourages further research to validate the novel staging system and further improve treatment strategies. Where appropriate, it is recommended that patients be referred to centres with specific experience in brachytherapy for NV SCC.PMID:38420717 | PMC:PMC10914357 | DOI:10.14639/0392-100X-N2786 (Source: Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica)

Effect of stapes demineralisation on the development of cochlear otosclerosis
CONCLUSIONS: Bone remodelling is most significant at the closest location to typical otosclerotic lesions with hydroxyapatite porosity and scale-like bone formation according to scanning electron microscopy.
