Objective Amphotericin B (AMB), a potent antifungal agent, has been employed as topical and systemic therapy for sinonasal fungal infections. A novel formulation of nanodisc (ND) containing super aggregated AMB (ND-AMB) for the treatment of fungal infections has been recently developed to provide greater protection from AMB toxicity than current, clinically approved lipid-based formulations. Th...

background: total and partial gastrectomy is commonly used to treat gastric carcinoma or other benign or malignant conditions of the stomach. laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy is an alternative approach for treating mucosal gastric cancer. many investigators have assessed the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of this procedure.rnobjectives: the aim of present study is to compare the outc...

Background: Advances in the era of modern micro-neurosurgery enabled a reduction surgical invasiveness and brain retraction which has been defined as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery. Sinonasal endoscopy brought radical changes concepts pathophysiology treatment sinonasal diseases well techniques. Objective: Assessment patient outcomes regarding transsphenoidal endoscopic microscopic appro...

Introduction: The chronic and recalcitrant nature of rhinosinusitis has been known from many years. Many reasons for this have been implicated and biofilms have now been established as one of the cause for its recurrent and persistent nature. Little literature and studies exist confirming this effect. This study presents analysis of sinonasal mucosal samples and correlates presence of biofilms ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Advances in the field of skull base surgery aim to maximize anatomical exposure while minimizing patient morbidity. The petroclival region of the skull base presents numerous challenges for surgical access due to the complex anatomy. The transcochlear approach to the region provides adequate access; however, the resection involved sacrifices hearing and results in at least...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma is a rare and extremely malignant tumor of the paranasal sinuses. Historically, treatment outcomes have been poor. This review presents recent data on the management of sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma and examines treatment trends that may result in improved locoregional control and survival. RECENT FINDINGS Patients who receive aggr...

BACKGROUND Endoscopic resection of sinonasal Inverted Papilloma (SNIP) tumors has been shown to reduce intra-operative blood loss and recovery time compared to open approaches. The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence and requirements of blood transfusion for endoscopic SNIP surgeries. METHODS An individual retrospective cohort study of endoscopic SNIP surgeries over a 10-yea...

conclusions there was a significant correlation between crs and presence of h. pylori in sinonasal mucosa. this relationship may reflect the role of h. pylori as one of the pathogenic factors in the development of crs. however, further studies are required to confirm this role. results nine patients (18%) with crs had h. pylori isolated from their samples whereas in the control group, h. pylori...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Determine rates and reasons for revisits after adult ambulatory sinonasal surgery. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis of multi-state ambulatory surgery and hospital databases. METHODS Ambulatory adult sinonasal procedures were extracted from the State Ambulatory Surgery Databases for New York, Florida, Iowa, and California for 2010. Cases were linked to the State Em...
