Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), otherwise known as chronic sinusitis, is a common inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinuses affecting approximately 7% to 14% of the North American population [1,2]. Patients with CRS suffer from several detrimental health effects including reduced quality of life (QoL) [3], impaired sleep [4], fatigue [5], acute infections [6], and increased bodily pain [7]. T...

nary function testing have been implemented to optimize asthma control. It has not been uncommon for a subject taking a daily OIT dose without eating a meal or snack in the 2 hours before dosing to have symptoms with a dose that had been previously tolerated; taking the same dose with a substantial meal or snack the next day and thereafter prevents further reactions. Additionally, several subje...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this randomized, prospective, double-blind study was to compare nasal irrigation using hypertonic Dead Sea salt (DSS) solution with hypertonic saline in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis and improvement of quality of life (QOL). METHODS With Institutional Review Board approval, 42 adults seeking treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis in a tertiary university-aff...

Salt accumulation within the root zone significantly effects plant growth and development in arid semi-arid regions. Today, use of low-quality irrigation water agricultural production is increasing rapidly, because continuous depletion pollution resources. This means more salt transferred to soil profile. It great importance predetermine practices for sustainable crop production. For this purpo...

precedingw or following irrigations. No reduction in the rate of photosynthesis was cletected as soil moisture was extracted, until the approximate time the first visible signs of wilting appeared. As the severity of wilting increased, the photosynthetic rate declined rapidly. When the plants were (listinctly wilted, photosynthetic activity had been reduced to approximately 75 % of its maximum ...

Salinity in agricultutal terms is the excess of salts above the level plant require. Most often it poses constrains in the growth hence productivity of the category of plants called glycophytes, wherein falls major crops, therefore is a serious concern. It is often recognized as excess of sodium ions (sodicity) that imparts life threatening consequences in plant due to mal-textured soil hindere...
