Introduction  The association between sinus and lung diseases is well known. However, there are scarce studies regarding the effects of sinus surgery on pulmonary function in lung transplant recipients. The present study describes our experience with sinus surgery in lung transplant recipients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Objectives  To assess the impact of sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusi...

BACKGROUND Saline irrigation of the nasal cavity is a classic and effective treatment for acute or chronic rhinosinusitis. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin have been widely used for recalcitrant chronic rhinosinusitis. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of saline irrigation using mupirocin. METHODS A systematic literature review and meta-analysis of mupirocin...

OBJECTIVE To use combined pre- and postsurgical olfactory outcomes to assess the impact of endoscopic sinus surgery on chronic rhinosinusitis-related olfactory impairment. DATA SOURCES CINAHL, Cochrane, OVID, EMBASE, PubMed, and SCOPUS. Each database was searched from inception up to October 2015. REVIEW METHODS Studies were included that reported subjective or objective olfactory data in c...

Asia-Pacific Burden of Respiratory Diseases (APBORD) was a cross-sectional, observational study examining the burden of respiratory disease in adults across 6 Asia-Pacific countries.This article reports symptoms, healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), work impairment and cost burden associated with allergic rhinitis (AR), asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and rhinosinusitis...

UNLABELLED The sinonasal involvement is one of the most common manifestations in cystic fibrosis. Data show a high incidence of chronic rhinosinusitis in these patients. Although it has been found radiographic opacification of the sinus in more than 90% of cases, few are symptomatic. So that, it is difficult to recognize nasossinusal disease in patients with cystic fibrosis. Questionnaire, nasa...

AIM Fungal rhinosinusitis in patients with chronic sinusal disease study. In the past decades, there has been an increase in fungal infections, and fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS) has been diagnosed more frequently. Knowing the fungal flora, its prevalence and symptomatic presentation in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) will allow a better understanding of this disease, permitting a corre...

OBJECTIVES To quantify the safety and efficiency of Postgraduate-Year II head-and-neck-surgery residents who perform endoscopic sinus surgery, to observe any changes that accompanied accrued experience, and to measure and correlate blood loss and temporal efficiency with anesthesia-induced relative hypotension. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING University of California, San Diego, Medical...

Sinonasal polyposis is considered to be the end-result of a chronic inflammatory process in the sinonasal mucosa. Its underlying mechanisms are still unclear, but the involvement of fungi has been suggested for many years. In the present study, we retrospectively evaluated the clinical and mycological profile of 161 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and nasal polyps who were undergoing...

Introduction The diagnosis of rhinosinusitis is based on clinical grounds having characteristic symptoms, combined with objective evidence mucosal inflammation. We studied the corelation between symptoms patients, and endoscopic findings CT scan in chronic (CRS). Materials Methods Patients above age 15yrs fulfilling criteria Chronic sinusitis laid by European position paper nasal polyps (EPOS) ...

Rhinosinusitis – an inflammatory process in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is a global problem of practical medicine, which remains relevant for many years. The most common cause acute rhinosinusitis viral infection, only 0.2–5 % patients disease further complicated by formation bacterial focus inflammation. Treatment withARS involves use etiotropic, pathogenetic symptomatic therapy. Na...
