BACKGROUND Closed dressings are thought to promote postoperative wound healing after laser skin resurfacing; however, quantitative data are lacking. OBJECTIVE To compare postoperative healing after combination carbon dioxide and erbium:YAG full-face laser skin resurfacing in patients who were treated with a silicone occlusive dressing (Silon-TSR; Bio Med Sciences, Inc, Bethlehem, Pa) vs open-...

the influence of wind erosion on soil productivity was studied applying fan-forced wind in a wind tunnel located in the campo de nijar area in se spain where the main crops are cereals. wind erosion is highly variable depending on the type of soil (aric-haplic calcisols, aric-calcaric cambisols or aric-calcic luvisols, according to iuss working group wrb, 2014) and the time elapsed since the la...

INTRODUCTION Nasal irrigation solutions are widely used following endonasal surgery. These irrigation solutions remove infective debris and crusts, reducing the probability of synechia formation, and accelerate mucosal healing. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of nasal irrigation solutions with different contents following septoplasty and concha radiofrequency...

BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis is a chronic disease process characterized by non-caseating granulomatous inflammation, usually involving the lower respiratory tract. Given the rarity of rhinologic involvement, the objectives of the present study were (1) to describe clinical features, and (2) to review outcomes of rhinologic surgery for sinonasal sarcoidosis. METHODS Retrospective analysis was perfor...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Patients with a history of sinonasal malignancy can develop chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) as a consequence of their oncologic treatment. Some patients will fail medical management and require endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). This study reviews the use of ESS in the management of CRS in patients previously treated for sinonasal malignancy. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review....

Endotracheal intubation is an intervention frequently performed in the hospital setting order to protect central airway and provide mechanical support for ventilation. The complications of endotracheal tube include tracheitis, tracheal stenosis, tracheomalacia, granuloma formation. Tracheal crusting following tracheitis a very rare but fatal complication especially children. should be kept mind...

An 81 years old male presented with complaints of nasal discharge and crusting for 3 years, anosmia for 1 year and nasal deformity since 6 months. Nasal discharge was mucoid but viscid, associated with crusting, nasal obstruction and occasional epistaxis.

Nasal septal perforation may present with various symptoms: epistaxis, crusting, secondary infection, whistling and nasal obstruction. Perforation may be treated by conservative pharmacological treatment or closed by surgical approach. A useful alternative is mechanical obturation, achieved inserting a prosthesis. The present report refers to a study on 15 patients (10 male, 5 female, mean age ...
