Nasal irrigation is a cornerstone of treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis. The purpose this study was to quantify penetration the sinuses following balloon sinuplasty and functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).Balloon followed by FESS performed on 4 cadaver heads.

Three blinded, fellowship-trained rhinologists reviewed videos scored extent...

The objective of this study was to determine the survival outcome associated with large-volume blood transfusion after trauma. This a retrospective at Level I trauma center from January 2000 December 2014 that included patients who received ≥25 units packed red cell (pRBC) within first 24 hours hospital admission. Univariate and multivariable logistic regressions identified risk factors for mortality. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis evaluated ability pRBC volume predict...

Logistic regression was used to examine associations of with various types behaviors. Results The prevalence overall type16 7.5% [95% CI: 6.6–8.4] 1.1% 0.7–1.3], respectively. Blacks were more likely...

Abstract Introduction: While it has been well documented that in the U.S., black and Hispanic dialysis patients have overall lower risks of death than white patients, little is known whether their are observed cause‐specific deaths. Additionally, recent research reported younger a higher risk death, but source unclear. Therefore, this study examined deaths among US by race/ethnicity age. Methods: This national included 1,255,640 incident between 1995 2010 United States Renal Data System....
