Highlights OMT modulates inflammation and immunity, reduces mortality & hospital length of stay OMT can decrease symptoms of acute patients and boost conventional care efficiency OMT can improve the convalescence of patients and reduce long-term consequences OMT has a substantial part to play in multidisciplinary care against pandemics

Sinusitis is a frequent otorhinolaryngologic disease, often misdiagnosed. None of the usual imaging equipment is specific, quick or efficient enough for sinusitis diagnosis. Misdiagnosis induces unnecessary health expenditures as well as a risk of antibiotic resistant strain development. Our study (with one healthy control subject, two pathological subjects) shows that infrared thermography could be an efficient, low-cost and non-invasive diagnostic tool for clinical purposes. A cohort study is necessary to establish threshold values for systematic reliable diagnosis.

The aim of this study is to approach the possibilities of stimulated infrared thermography to the carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosis. Eleven patients were studied. Six of them were affected by the carpal tunnel syndrome. The five others were healthy. The study consists in exciting the patients' hands and in analyzing their thermal response. The infrared thermograms obtained show that the hands infected by the carpal tunnel syndrome give a different thermal response.
