OBJECTIVES Nasal septal deviation is a frequent cause of increased nasal airway resistance. A narrow nasal airway would result in a decreased airflow into the lungs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the alterations of the pulmonary functions following septoplasty using spirometry and 6 minutes walking test (6mWT). And reveal the correlation of symptom score improvement with nasal ob...

To evaluate results of concurrent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and nasal plastic surgery in terms of safety, efficacy and patient satisfaction, and compare them with the results of single procedures. We conducted a prospective case control study in three groups of patients with chronic sinusitis and nasal deformity; 25 cases had concurrent FESS and rhinoplasty, 25 controls had FES...

Background The return of olfaction and of sinonasal function are important end points after pituitary surgery. Opinions differ on the impact of surgery because techniques vary greatly. A modified preservation of the so-called olfactory strip is described that utilizes a small nasoseptal flap and wide exposure. Methods A cohort of patients undergoing pituitary surgery and endoscopic sinonasal tu...

chronic rhinosinusitis (crs) is a common disease which is usually diagnosed clinically, considering the combination of natural history, physical examination and imaging studies. this study aimed to evaluate the clinical value of routine postoperative histopathologic examination (pohe) in patients with a clinical diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis (crswp), or without polyposis (c...

Method We used 3112 16-year-olds from a Swedish birth cohort called BAMSE. The adolescents who fulfilled the criteria of CRS according to the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis (EPOS) in a questionnaire, was contacted by telephone to verify the diagnosis. Those with ongoing symptoms were invited for a clinical follow up with nasal endoscopy, olfactory threshold test (Sniffin’ sticks) and...

BackgroundElexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) is a CFTR modulator that has led to large benefits in lung function, pulmonary exacerbation rates, and respiratory symptoms. Less known about the effect of ETI on non-pulmonary The objective this study was examine changes patient reported outcomes after starting multiple symptoms.MethodsThis prospective cohort adults with CF. Participants complet...

Objectives: To determine diagnostic effectiveness of office fiberoptic nasal endoscopy as preliminary examination tool during outpatient clinic examinations of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Patients & Methods: One hundred CRS UAE patients (Group A) and another 100 Egyptian patients (Group B). All patients were evaluated for impact of CRS on their quality of life (QOL) using the Si...
