Among these subjects, sinusal-mucosal thickening was present in 75% (n 44), and concha hypertrophy was present in 51% (n 30). Adenoid hypertrophy was present in 20% (n 12), and septum deviation was present in 17% (n 10).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
An immunologic evaluation should be performed and uncommon causes of sinus inflammation should be addressed later in the course to reduce inflammation either to avoid surgery or improve surgical outcomes.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Study supplements were a lemon-flavored cod liver oil and a children's multivitamin-mineral with selenium, prescribed in escalating doses; at higher doses, fish oil was substituted for cod liver oil.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Since glandular secretions are rich in antimicrobial factors, such as LFN, LZM, and sIgA, it appears possible that the inability to secrete glandular proteins normally may predispose to recurrentinfections.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Inflammation and swelling of the mucosa of the tube openings causes stenosis or blockage. Inflammatory foci, usually hidden in the anterior ethmoid cell system, are not always apparent in a plain film of the paranasal sinuses.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the upper airways, the inflammation presents itself with symptoms of chronic rhinitis, leading to recurrent sinusitis, in some patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This article explores recurrent sinusitis and its pathophysiology, and suggests a medical treatment regimen using nasally inhaled corticosteroids together with antimicrobial and supportive therapy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Nasal dermoid sinus cysts are the most common congenital midline nasofrontal masses, but they can easily be confused with simple recurrent sinusitis upon clinical presentation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We give a broad overview of the workup of chronic rhinosinusitis, focusing on immune deficiency, an often overlooked but clinically important aspect of the sinusitis workup.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that intranasal corticosteroid treatment produces additional relief in the treatment of acute sinusitis with oral antibiotics.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The viral etiology of the common cold (verified in 67% of the episodes) was similar in both groups. Pathogenic bacteria were isolated from the middle meatus in 24% (6) of the control patients and only 9% (2) of the sinusitis-prone patients (P .15).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This article explores recurrent sinusitis and its pathophysiology, and suggests a medical treatment regimen using nasally inhaled corticosteroids together with antimicrobial and supportive therapy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Problems such as recognition of the disorder and adequate treatment are complicated by the lack of universal definition, absence of preventive measures, and dearth of clear end-point definitions for successful therapy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
