Enhanced expression of SAM‐pointed domain–containing Ets‐like factor in Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
ConclusionsOur findings suggested that SPDEF may be regarded as a promising therapeutic target for modulating mucus hypersecretion in CRSwNP. Level of EvidenceN/A. Laryngoscope, 2014

Apolipoproteins have a potential role in nasal mucus of allergic rhinitis patients: A proteomic study
ConclusionThis study confirms the significantly higher abundance of apolipoproteins A‐I and AII in allergic rhinitis mucus. Their release seems to be triggered by local mechanisms as an antiinflammatory response to allergens. Level of Evidence3b. Laryngoscope, 2014

Patient knowledge and perception of computed tomography scan in the management of chronic rhinosinusitis symptoms
ConclusionsPatients with CRS symptoms prefer CTDT over EMT if a diagnosis cannot be established definitively using exam findings. Although most patients deferred to the physician regarding the decision to utilize CT imaging, there is low awareness of CT‐related radiation exposure, and a significant minority of patients have radiation‐related concerns with regard to medical imaging for nasal and sinus symptoms.

Relation of Mean platelet volume and red blood cell distribution width with epistaxis
ConclusionsThe results of this study showed a clinical finding of lower mean platelet volume and red blood cell distribution levels in epistaxis. These findings could be beneficial in new investigations into epistaxis mechanisms. Level of Evidence3b. Laryngoscope, 2014

Patterns in the evaluation of Hoarseness: Time to presentation, laryngeal visualization, and diagnostic accuracy
ConclusionsPatients received prompt laryngeal visualization. However, we observed high rates of diagnostic error. Initial diagnoses of LPR, edema, infection, and allergy appear to be particularly likely to be revised on further evaluation; and scar, sulcus, atrophy, and paresis are likely to be overlooked.

Effect of ionic compositions in nasal irrigations on human olfactory thresholds
ConclusionsDifferent potassium and sodium concentrations in irrigation solutions provide distinctive dose‐dependent shifts in olfactory thresholds. Calcium concentrations also elevate olfactory thresholds, but calcium plays a less significant role than potassium and sodium in modulating olfactory thresholds. These results highlight the importance of the intranasal ionic microenvironment in olfactory physiology and suggest that optimal ionic concentrations in irrigation solutions exist to preserve olfactory function.

Effect of three‐drug delivery modalities on olfactory function in chronic sinusitis
ConclusionEffectiveness of sonic nebulized and oral administration is demonstrated on orthonasal olfactory. The clinical benefit is better than with nasal spray. Level of Evidence1b. Laryngoscope, 2014

Comprehensive management of patients presenting to the otolaryngologist for Sinus pressure, pain, or headache
ConclusionsWe present the first series detailing management of patients with sinus‐headache pain in an otolaryngology practice. Such symptoms have multifactorial etiologies. Positive sinus CT results require cautious interpretation. ESS should be judiciously used. Interdisciplinary care is critical for success: approximately 50% of patients benefited from otolaryngic management, 50% needed neurological treatment, and 7% required dental disease management.

Construct validity of the ovine model in endoscopic sinus surgery training
ConclusionsThis study describes an alternative model for ESS training and assessment. It is also the first to demonstrate construct validity of the sheep‐head model for ESS training. Level of EvidenceNA Laryngoscope, 2014

Economic evaluation of endoscopic sinus surgery versus continued medical therapy for refractory chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionResults from this study suggest that employing an ESS treatment strategy is the most cost‐effective intervention compared to continued medical therapy alone for the long‐term management of patients with refractory CRS. Level of EvidenceN/A. Laryngoscope, 2014

Operative utilization of balloon versus traditional endoscopic sinus surgery
ConclusionsIn the study sample, balloon technology was used in 8.0% of ESS cases in 2011. Procedures using BCD were on average more expensive compared to traditional ESS procedures, with minimal decrease in OR time. Level of Evidence2c Laryngoscope, 2014

Clinical Significance of Middle Turbinate Lateralization After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
ConclusionsMTL was not associated with patient‐reported symptoms, but may be associated with a more rapid need for future revision surgery. We hypothesize that this effect is related to interference with the frontal sinus. Level of Evidence4. Laryngoscope, 00:000–000, 2014

Prevalence of sinonasal disease in children with Juvenile idiopathic arthritis
ConclusionsOur data suggest that JIA patients, especially when undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, should be subjected to an ear, nose, and throat evaluation. A prospective study including clinical evaluation would be of the utmost importance to provide evidence on which to base comprehensive healthcare for these patients. Level of Evidence3.
