Fabrication and validation of a low ‐cost, medium‐fidelity silicone injection molded endoscopic sinus surgery simulation model
ConclusionsSimulation models have proven efficacy in endoscopic skill and procedural training. The group developed a novel low‐cost, medium‐fidelity sinus training model utilizing three‐dimensional modeling and printing. Testing of this model revealed high ratings for both face and construct validity for a range of endoscopic procedures. Strong interest in using this model for resident training was unanimous among all survey participants. Level of EvidenceNA Laryngoscope, 2016

Sinus surgery can improve quality of life, lung infections, and lung function in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia
ConclusionWe demonstrated an improvement in CRS‐related symptoms after ESS and adjuvant therapy. In selected PCD patients, the suggested regimen may postpone chronic lung infection with P. aeruginosa and stabilize lung function.

Evidence of microbiota dysbiosis in chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionBacterial community dysbiosis was more apparent than specific associations with examined phenotypes or endotypes, and may play a role in the pathogenesis or influence the severity of CRS. Reductions in several common core bacterial taxa, increased inter‐ and intrasubject variability, reduced bacterial diversity, and increased bacterial load characterized aberrant bacterial communities in CRS.

Sinonasal polyposis in the elderly.
CONCLUSION: The present preliminary investigation found a lower recurrence rate after functional endoscopic sinus surgery for CRSwNP in elderly patients than in young adult patients. Further investigations on larger, prospective series are mandatory to support the hypothesis that, although eosinophilic-type CRSwNP is generally considered a variant at high risk of recurrence and that probably warrants stricter postoperative follow-up and adjuvant postoperative medical treatment, these considerations could not be applied to elderly patients.

IgE ‐associated food allergy alters the presentation of paediatric eosinophilic esophagitis
Conclusions and Clinical RelevanceImmediate hypersensitivity is common in children with EoE and identifies a population of EoE patients with distinct clinical characteristics. Our study describes a subtype of EoE in which IgE‐mediated food allergy may impact the presentation of paediatric EoE.

Low 22‐item sinonasal outcome test scores in chronic rhinosinusitis: Why do patients seek treatment?
ConclusionsLow‐SNOT CRS patients represent an outlier population for which measures of QoL fail to identify factors influencing the decision to seek treatment. Low‐SNOT CRS patients electing ESS have a decreased likelihood of reporting MCIDs following ESS. Further study is required to identify novel factors associated with treatment‐seeking behavior in this population. Level of Evidence3B Laryngoscope, 2016

Epidemiology, clinical impacts and current clinical management of Helicobacter pylori infection.
Abstract Helicobacter pylori infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. More than 50% of the global population is estimated to be infected. Differences in prevalence exist within and between countries, with higher prevalence seen among people with lower socio-economic status. Most transmission of infection occurs early in life, predominantly from person to person in the family setting. H. pylori is the cause of most peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and causes symptoms in a subset of patients with functional dyspepsia. Choice of...

Gender‐specific analysis of outcomes from endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionBoth male and female CRS patients showed significant and durable symptom relief following ESS. Women reported higher symptom burden prior to surgery, and in the early postoperative period. However, after 1‐year post‐ESS, both genders showed similar symptom scores. The trend and magnitude of improvement were similar in both genders.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis: An Evidence-Based Approach to Therapy.
Abstract In recent years, several randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses have evaluated the efficacy of the various therapeutic options available for treating patients with eosinophilic esophagitis, including dietary modifications, proton pump inhibitors, topical corticosteroids, and endoscopic esophageal dilation. Proton pump inhibitors are currently considered the first-line treatment for eosinophilic esophagitis, achieving histological remission and improvement of symptoms in 50.5% and 60.8% of patients, respectively. The efficacy of topical corticosteroids in eosinophilic esophagitis has been assessed ...

Cytofunctional changes in nasal ciliated cells in patients treated with hyaluronate after nasal surgery.
CONCLUSION: Intranasal use of sodium hyaluronate in patients who underwent functional nasal surgery improved both mucociliary clearance and nasal mucosa regeneration due to a faster recovery of the impaired ciliated cells. PMID: 26980389 [PubMed - in process]
