Chronic sinusitis alone does not seem to be a causative factor to primary acquired chronic obstructive diseases of the lachrymal drainage system.
Objective: Evaluate the satisfaction and the actual benefit if rhinoplastic surgery, using questionnaires that assess since aspects related to appearance and function, even aspects of social order and compare them. Method:In a cross-sectional study of 105 patients who underwent rhinoplasty, the patients answered 2 questionnaires, the GBI (Glasgow Benefit Inventory) and the SNOT-22 (sino-nasal outcome test-22). Student t test was used to compare the SNOT-22 scores before and after surgery and Pearson correlation coefficient between SNOT-22 and GBI scores.Results: These 49 patients could be reached by telephone these 21 were men (42.85%), with a mean age of 28.96 years. The SNOT-22 were on average 17.41 points preoperatively and 13.63 in the postoperative. The results of the GBI in the postoperative period were 31.69 points on average. Conclusion:There was a high satisfaction rate of patients undergoing rhinoplasty when assessed through questionnaires GBI and SNOT-22 separately, but a weak correlation between them.Objective: 1) Show that extracellular matrix deposition is possible in 3-dimensional culture of human septal chondrocytes by guest on June 5, 2016 oto.sagepub.com Downloaded from
Conclusion: END-DCR is highly successful for both types of NLDO. Preoperative absence of flow into nose on SWO was associated with slightly higher chance of complete resolution. Results: An 18 year-old morbidly obese woman presented to the oral maxillofacial surgery clinic with complaints of malocclusion. She underwent bilateral LeFort I osteotomies and was discharged on POD1. She represented 3 days later with headache and nausea. A head CT demonstrated pneumocephalus and a fracture of the dorsal aspect of the right sphenoid sinus causing a communication with the prepontine cistern. The patient subsequently underwent endoscopic repair by the otolaryngology and neurosurgery services, using a vascularized pedicled mucosal nasoseptal flap. She was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 7 and since has had an uneventful recovery. Rhinology/Allergy Conclusion:Postoperative recognition of CSF leak is imperative in order to ensure timely repair and to prevent further complications. Identification of surgical techniques and patient-specific factors contributing an increased risk of postoperative CSF leak is vital. Given the prior intranasal and palatal surgery, various preoperative reconstruction options must be considered. Rhinology/Allergy Changes of the Histological Features in Nasal PolypsSu Jin Kim (presenter); Seung Youp Shin; Kun Hee Lee; Sung Wan Kim; Joong Saeng Cho Objective: Depending on the inflammatory cell infiltration, nasal polyps can be categorized as eosinophilic type or noneosinophilic type. There is a geographical difference in the prevalence of a certain pathological type of polyp. More than 80% of polyps in Western people are the eosinophilic type, while this type is rarely found among Eastern people. The periodical change in the prevalence of histological types of polyps was evaluated in this study. Method:Two hundred total patients, each confirmed to the polyp biopsy, were enrolled between 1993 and 2010. Specimens were fixed in formalin, then made to a paraffin block and H&E stained slide, which was reviewed by 2 authors. The number of eosinophils per high power field (HPF) and other cellular, epithelial, and stromal markers were reviewed. Results:We compared the nasal polyp eosinophil count by periods, the average eosinophil count/HPF increased from 7.22 (±1.695) in 1993 to 20.44 (±3.635) in 2010 (P = .001). Eosinophilic polyp (showing over 5 eosinophils/HPF) increased significantly from 26% in 1993 to 52% in (P = .000 -> P < .001). Among other histologic markers, lymphocytes, basement membrane thickening, and gland hypertrophy showed significant difference. Conclusion:After comparative studies between histopathologic findings of nasal polyps from 1993 and 2010 respectively, the percentage of eosinophilic nasal polyp, known to be rare among Asians, including Koreans, have increased significantly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
