At the end of the 20 and the beginning of the 21 century, South-Western Sweden is characterized by the development of small residential satellite localities surrounding the bigger cities. Because of the lack of workplaces in these localities, their inhabitants are forced to commute to the bigger cities for work.

BACKGROUND Balloon sinus dilation (BSD) tools are increasingly used in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and post maximal may cause less tissue trauma/bleeding, potentially enabling office-based ESS. We evaluate the feasibility of ESS performed in-office using BSD instrumentation. METHODS All patients had a diagnosis with chronic rhinosinusitis. Because of symptom resolution failure postmaximal ...

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common disease which is usually diagnosed clinically, considering the combination of natural history, physical examination and imaging studies. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical value of routine postoperative histopathologic examination (POHE) in patients with a clinical diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis (CRSWP), or without polyposis (C...

Modern machinery, such as automobiles, trains and aircraft, are equipped with embedded distributed computer control systems where the software implemented functionality is steadily increasing. The development of such systems, however, is still a relatively new and young discipline. There is consequently a lack of tools, methods and models to support, in particular, the early architectural desig...
