Characterization of Bacterial and Fungal Biofilms in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Tập 23 Số 6 - Trang 556-561 - 2009
Background Conclusive evidence exists that biofilms are present on the mucosa of
chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients. Less is known about the species
constituting these biofilms. This study developed a fluorescence in situ
hybridization (FISH) protocol for characterization of bacterial and fungal
biofilms in CRS. Methods Fifty CRS patients and 10 controls were recruited.
Bacteria FISH probes for...
The Impact of Biofilms on Outcomes after Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Tập 24 Số 3 - Trang 169-174 - 2010
Background Although biofilms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic
rhinosinusitis (CRS), there is little evidence that their presence or absence
has any effect on the outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). The aim of
this study was to investigate the effect of biofilms on postsurgical outcomes
after ESS. Methods A prospective, blinded study of 51 consecutive patients
undergoing ...
Critical Appraisal and Meta-Analysis of Nasal Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Tập 25 Số 1 - Trang 45-49 - 2011
Background Nasal surgery is commonly involved in surgical treatment for
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aim of this study was to investigate the
outcomes of nasal surgery for OSA using evidence-based methodology. Methods The
MedLine database (1999∼2009) was searched for original articles published in
peer-reviewed journals concerning nasal surgery for snoring/sleep apnea. Data
extracted from th...
Chronic Rhinosinusitis, Race, and Ethnicity
Tập 26 Số 2 - Trang 110-116 - 2012
Background Little is known regarding the epidemiology of chronic rhinosinusitis
(CRS) in racial and ethnic minorities in the United States. This study was
designed to comprehensively evaluate the current prevalence of CRS across
various treatment settings to identify possible disparities in health care
access and use between racial and ethnic populations. Methods The National
Health Interview Surv...
Treatment Results of Sinonasal Inverted Papilloma: An 18-Year Study
Tập 23 Số 2 - Trang 203-211 - 2009
Background This article reviews our treatment results of sinonasal inverted
papilloma (SNIP) over the past 18 years. A retrospective observational study was
performed. Methods Fifty-six patients with SNIP seen between 1990 and 2008 with
follow-up of >2 years were retrospectively analyzed. Results Forty patients
(71%) had primary endoscopic resection and 16 patients (29%) had
endoscopic-assisted ex...
The Role of Fungi in Diseases of the Nose and Sinuses
Tập 26 Số 5 - Trang 351-358 - 2012
Background Human exposure to fungal elements is inevitable, with normal
respiration routinely depositing fungal hyphae within the nose and paranasal
sinuses. Fungal species can cause sinonasal disease, with clinical outcomes
ranging from mild symptoms to intracranial invasion and death. There has been
much debate regarding the precise role fungal species play in sinonasal disease
and optimal treat...
Primary Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy with or without Silicone Tubing: A Prospective Randomized Study
Tập 26 Số 4 - Trang 332-334 - 2012
Background Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is an effective surgical
procedure to treat saccal and postsaccal stenosis or nasolacrimal duct
obstruction. The use of silicone tube after endoscopic DCR is still
controversial. A prospective randomized study was conducted to compare the
success rate between the use of silicone stent and no use of silicone stent in
endoscopic DCR. Methods A prospe...
Biofilms and Mucosal Healing in Postsurgical Patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Tập 23 Số 5 - Trang 506-511 - 2009
Background Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) often remain symptomatic
after technically proficient functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Current
hypothesis indicates biofilms may contribute to the persistence of infection.
However, few studies showed biofilms in postoperative patients. This study was
designed to identify bacterial biofilms on postoperative mucosa, as well as to
investigate...
Causes of Dacryocystorhinostomy Failure: External versus Endoscopic Approach
Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 181-185 - 2017
Objectives To compare the causes of failure between external and endoscopic
dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) techniques for the treatment of lacrimal
obstruction. Study Design A retrospective cohort study. Methods The study
population consisted of 53 consecutive patients who underwent revision
endoscopic DCR from 2002 to 2013 for lacrimal duct obstruction. Identified
causes of previous DCR failure were...
Detection of Surfactant Proteins A, B, C, and D in Human Nasal Mucosa and Their Regulation in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Polyps
Tập 27 Số 1 - Trang 24-29 - 2013
Backround The nasal mucosa is characterized by a multirow high prismatic
ciliated epithelium representing the first barrier of the immune defense system
against microbial and other environmental pathogenic influences. A number of
nonspecific defense mechanisms, including the presence of lactoferrin,
peroxidases, proteases, interferons, and lysozymes in nasal secretions, act to
counter inflammatory...
