Use of olfactory training in post‐traumatic and postinfectious olfactory dysfunction
ConclusionsThe present study suggests that a 16‐week short‐term exposure to specific odors may increase olfactory sensitivity in patients with postinfectious and post‐traumatic olfactory dysfunction. Level of Evidence3b. Laryngoscope, 2013

Olfactory training is helpful in postinfectious olfactory loss – a randomized controlled multicenter study
ConclusionOT improves PIOD; use of odors at higher concentrations is beneficial to that. OT is a safe procedure; it seems particularly useful in patients who start OT within 12 months after onset of the disorder. OT is the first successful therapy regime in patients with PIOD. Laryngoscope, 2013

Does desloratadine alter the serum levels of montelukast when administered in a fixed‐dose combination?
ConclusionsThe absorption rate of montelukast was not altered when administered with desloratadine. This study suggested that desloratadine does not influence the bioavailability of montelukast, and their combination therapy can be used safely. Level of Evidence2b Laryngoscope, 2013

Long‐term results of endoscopic sinus surgery–oriented treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with asthma
ConclusionsFESS‐oriented multimodality treatment improves CRS with asthma significantly and persistently. Asthma control level improved. Antiasthma medication use and pulmonary function remained stable. Level of Evidence4 Laryngoscope, 2013

Oral plus nasal corticosteroids improve smell, nasal congestion, and inflammation in sino‐nasal polyposis
ConclusionsCombined oral and intranasal corticosteroids improve smell and nasal congestion and decrease nasal inflammation, as measured by reduced tissue eosinophilia and increased detection of nNO. Severity of smell loss correlates with degree of nasal congestion but not with inflammation, as measured by tissue eosinophilia or nasally exhaled nNO. Our findings suggest that improvement in smell may be related to improved conduction of odorants to the olfactory neuroepithelium. Level of EvidenceIb. Laryngoscope, 2013

Sleep quality and disease severity in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionThe majority of patients with CRS have a poor quality of sleep, as measured by the PSQI survey. Poor sleep quality is significantly associated with CRS‐specific QOL, gender, comorbid depression, and tobacco use, but not CT score or endoscopy grade. Level of Evidence2b. Laryngoscope, 2013

Primary care and upfront computed tomography scanning in the diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis: A cost‐based decision analysis
ConclusionsIn all scenarios, confirming diagnosis with CT scanning prior to treatment or referral is more cost‐efficient than presuming a diagnosis of CRS based on symptoms alone. Level of Evidence2c. Laryngoscope, 2013

Diagnosis and treatment of traumatic optic neuropathy with carotid artery cavernous segment pseudoaneurysm
ConclusionsThere is a possibility of fatal epistaxis for traumatic optic neuropathy with carotid artery cavernous segment pseudoaneurysm. Endoscopic optic nerve decompression treatment (EOND) is not suitable for these cases; instead, it is recommended that patients with traumatic optic neuropathy go through vascular‐enhanced computed tomography screening. Suspected cases should be diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography and be treated by embolization in a timely manner, with stent vascular interventional embolization being the ideal choice.

Improving patient care via development of a protein‐based diagnostic test for microbe‐specific detection of chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionsProteomic analysis was successful in identifying signature proteins for possible use as a biomarker for CRS. OMP‐P2 and OMP‐P5 were validated as promising candidates and were positively detected from nasopharyngeal secretions from chinchillas experimentally infected with NTHI. Collectively, these data support the use of OMP‐P2 and OMP‐P5 as biomarkers for a human clinical trial to develop a point of care medical diagnostic test to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of CRS.

Extent of sinus surgery, 2000–2009: A population‐based study
ConclusionRates of sinus surgery increased over the study period, with more patients undergoing surgery and more procedures per surgical case. The strong association of procedural patterns with specific surgeons in sinusitis care highlights the importance of future investigations to examine training, technological, and reimbursement factors that may influence surgeons' clinical decision‐making for this common condition.

RGS21, a regulator of taste and mucociliary clearance?
Conclusions Rgs21 is expressed in sinonsal mucosa, is amenable to purification as a recombinant protein, and can bind to Gαi/o/q subunits. Furthermore, RGS21 can accelerate the hydrolysis rate of GTP on Gαi subunits. This provides evidence that RGS21 may be a negative regulator of bitterant responses. Future studies will be needed to determine the physiological role of this protein in mucociliary clearance. Level of EvidenceNA Laryngoscope, 2013

Patient‐centered decision making in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionsWorse patient‐reported disease severity, as measured by the SNOT‐22, was significantly associated with the treatment choice for CRS. Strong consideration should be given for incorporating CRS‐specific QOL measures into routine clinical practice. Level of Evidence2b. Laryngoscope, 2013

Management of sinonasal complications after endoscopic orbital decompression for Graves' orbitopathy
ConclusionSinonasal complications following EnOD are uncommon. In the setting of a decompressed orbit, even routine types of postoperative issues can be challenging and require additional considerations. Successful management of postoperative sinusitis related to outflow obstruction may require more extensive approaches and novel techniques. Level of Evidence4. Laryngoscope, 2013

Frontal sinus septations predict the presence of supraorbital ethmoid cells
Conclusion:The presence of frontal sinus septations appears to be significantly associated with and predictive of the presence of supraorbital ethmoid cells. Thus, identifying frontal sinus septations on sinus CT is implicated with more complex anatomy of the frontal recess. Level of EvidenceNA. Laryngoscope, 2013
