Inflammatory polyps of the nasal turbinates (IPNT) in cats are benign growths that are histologically distinct from feline nasopharyngeal polyps. Most cats with IPNT are presented at less than 1 year of age with sneezing, noisy breathing and epistaxis, but without mucoid or mucopurulent nasal discharge. Histologically, IPNT are characterised by the presence of woven bone as part of the prolifer...

Glucocorticoids (GCs) bind to the cellular glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) to exert anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive actions. We investigated the changes in the expressions of the two GR isoforms, GR-alpha and GR-beta, in nasal polyps treated with GC. Immunofluorescent staining revealed prominent expression of GR-alpha in the inflammatory cell infiltrate in the polyps obtained from patien...

PURPOSE To investigate the expression and quantity of glucocorticoid receptor-alpha and -beta in polyp tissues taken from the patients treated were subsequently treated with topical glucocorticoid (GC). METHODS Eighty patients with nasal polyps were initially enrolled in the study. All polyp specimens were obtained prior to treatment. Patients then received daily topical GC spray treatment fo...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mometasone furoate nasal spray (NS) for the treatment of nasal polyposis. DESIGN Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study. SETTING A total of 24 centers in 17 countries. PATIENTS A total of 310 subjects 18 years or older with bilateral nasal polyps. INTERVENTIONS (1) A 200-microg dose of mometasone f...

Nasal polyps can make nasoendotracheal intubation difficult. We present a case of complete obstruction of a nasoendotracheal tube by a nasal polyp during a blind nasoendotracheal intubation in emergency oral surgery.

Ethmoid polyposis are the nasal polyps which developed from ethmoidal sinuses located between nose and eyes. Usually it is allergic in nature can be multiple, grape like masses. The estimated ethmoid prevalence India 4%. In this case study, a 61 year old female patient was admitted with complaints of severe block since approximately 6 months.

Background: Nasal polyps are benign chronic inflammatory masses with epithelial tissues of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses. The clinical diagnosis is made based on sinonasal symptoms for more than three months presence in cavity. classification histopathological structure divided into types, i.e., oedematous, eosinophilic polyps, seromucous polyps. This study aims to describe profile pat...

The incidence of rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis is higher among asthmatic patients, probably because the pathogenesis of both conditions is characterized by eosinophilic infl ammation. Surgical treatment for polyps may be necessary when medical treatment is not effective, although relapses can occur even after surgery [1]. Omalizumab is a chimeric monoclonal anti-immunoglobulin E (anti-IgE)...

Figure 1. Presentation with median cleft lip, widened nasal tip, and fibroepithelial skin polyps.

OBJECTIVES Nuclear characteristics of epithelial cells in nasal polyps were analyzed. PATIENTS AND METHODS The slides of 35 patients who underwent surgery for nasal polyposis and 18 slides of normal mucosa were examined. The specimens were stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Tissue sections were analyzed by a CCD camera and the Karyotype Program of Human Cytogenetics Nomenclature System on a Maci...
