Background While Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a known comorbidity of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), the prevalence ETD symptoms in CRS population poorly understood. We sought to determine cross‐sectional patients with using validated Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ‐7) and correlate ETDQ‐7 scores 22‐item Sino‐Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT‐22) scores, endoscopy computed tomography (CT) scores. Methods A total 101 confirmed completed SNOT‐22 at their initial visit our rhinology clinic....
Objectives/Hypothesis Inverted papillomas (IPs) are benign tumors of the sinonasal tract with a malignant transformation potential. Predicting propensity IPs and corresponding risk factors has long been challenge. In this study, we aimed to use radiographic findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) computed tomography (CT) help differentiate IP from IP‐transformed squamous cell carcinomas (IP‐SCC). Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed at...
Endoscopic Draf 2B and 3 frontal sinusotomies are frequently performed for chronic refractory rhinosinusitis. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes between procedures.A retrospective cohort conducted comparing patients undergoing bilateral vs procedures from 2000 2016. Patients with neoplasia, dysplasia, mucocele, cystic fibrosis, or ciliary dyskinesia were excluded. Preoperative disease parameters included number prior surgeries, presence polyps, preoperative 22-item Sino-Nasal...
HeLa DNA polymerase ε (pol ε), possibly involved in both replication and repair, consists of a catalytic subunit 261 kDa tightly bound peptide with relative molecular mass 55 kDa. The cDNA the 261-kDa polypeptide has been independently cloned, sequenced, then overexpressed insect cells to give soluble, but catalytically unstable protein, suggesting that small pol might be important for stability. isolated by immunoaffinity purification obtain sequence information which enabled cloning...
Background A novel, bioabsorbable, fibrinogen-based implant has been developed as a mucosal dressing after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). This can be formulated with fluticasone propionate (TP) for local elution of corticosteroid to reduce postoperative inflammation and promote healing. Objective study investigated the biocompatibility pharmacokinetics in rabbit model. Methods Implants without TP were placed on both intact demucosalized maxillary sinuses 33 New Zealand White rabbits....
We have determined the DNA sequence of dsdC, gene that encodes D-serine deaminase activator protein Escherichia coli K-12. The contains a single open reading frame terminates in UGA codon. One basis size protein, 33 kilodaltons, and amino acid encoded by frame, we identified likely translation initiation codon 731 base pairs upstream for divergently transcribed gene. There is broad range usage, not surprising view weak expression N-terminal two-thirds arginine-lysine rich quite polar;...
Background: Craniopharyngiomas have traditionally been treated via open, transcranial approaches. More recently, minimally invasive endoscopic trans-sphenoidal approaches increasingly utilized. There is not yet a consensus in the literature whether one approach superior to other. Specifically regarding pediatric population, there paucity of case series our long-term outcome measures this newer technique with respect management craniopharyngiomas. We report institutional experience.
