Objectives/Hypothesis There is evidence that the olfactory system can be modulated by repeated exposure to odors, a procedure called training . The aim of this study was assess effectiveness in patients with postinfectious and post‐traumatic dysfunction. Study Design Prospective 119 Methods Two groups (postinfectious post‐traumatic) performed (n = 49 n 23, respectively) over period 16 weeks were compared two control same etiology 32 15). Patients sinunasal, neurologic, or idiopathic disease...
Background: There is evidence of the effectiveness repeated exposure to odours on short-term olfactory function. The aim this study was assess long-term effects training. Methods: We conducted a prospective 111 patients with post-infectious dysfunction. Two groups performed training for 16 and 56 weeks, respectively, were compared control group. twice daily using four (phenyl ethyl alcohol, eucalyptol, citronellal, eugenol). Olfactory testing by means Sniffin Sticks test as baseline...
A significant proportion of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 report a new onset smell or taste loss. The duration the chemosensory impairment and predictive factors recovery are still unclear. We aimed to investigate prevalence, temporal course predictors in patients who suffered from varying disease severity. Consecutive adult diagnosed be via reverse-transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) at two coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) Reference Hospitals were contacted complete survey...
Abstract Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with substantial personal and socioeconomic burden. Monitoring of patient‐reported outcomes by mobile technology offers the possibility to better understand real‐life burden CRS. Methods This study reports on cross‐sectional evaluation data 626 users mySinusitisCoach (mSC), application for CRS patients. Patient characteristics mSC were analysed as well level control based VAS global symptom score...
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) disease control is a global metric of status for CRS. While there broad acceptance that it an important treatment goal, has been inconsistency in the criteria used to define CRS control. The objective this study was identify and develop consensus around essential assessment control.Modified Delphi methodology consisting three rounds review list 24 possible developed by 12-person steering committee. core authorship multidisciplinary EPOS 2020 guidelines invited...
OBJECTIVE Olfactory neuroblastoma constitutes a rare and, in clinical terms, biologically variable tumor of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and base skull presents challenge to modern multidisciplinary therapy. Generally acknowledged prognostic factors standard therapy fail exist. METHODS Between 1975 2000 we diagnosed treated 26 patients with an olfactory neuroblastoma. According Kadish's classification, 1 patient (4%) showed stage A, 16 (53%) B, 11 cases (43%) C. Hyams grading was...
To investigate long-term recovery after Bell's palsy and evaluate specific parameters for predicting the outcome of facial weakness.Retrospective clinical study combined with follow-up.Tertiary care university hospital (Department Otorhinolaryngology, Head Neck Surgery, University Thessaloniki, Greece).Forty-four patients who were followed up 2 to 6 years (mean, 4.01 yr) onset weakness.The failure rate complete was studied age, initial nerve excitability test, electroneurography, severity...
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent chronic disease observed on global scale. The utilization of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has gained significant recognition as an effective intervention for individuals with CRS and nasal polyps who have not responded to conventional treatments. need (or not) revision frequently relies the promotion optimal wound healing. impact platelet-rich plasma (PRP) tissue healing been extensively examined in various surgical fields.
Background and Objectives: Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is prevalent among patients with ENT disorders, necessitating history-taking, clinical examination, appropriate investigation for diagnosis. Tube Dysfunction Patient Questionnaire (ETDQ-7) a valuable tool subjectively assessing symptom severity related to this condition. This study aims adapt validate the ETDQ-7 in Greece, ensuring its accuracy efficacy outpatient settings.Subjects Methods: The was translated into Greek following...
To report the causes and clinical evaluation of children with facial nerve palsy (FNP) admitted to an affiliated university hospital during a 5-year period (2011-2015).A total 124 were retrospectively categorised into two groups: idiopathic Bell's (109 patients) second group other FNP aetiologies (15 patients). All received standardised work-up follow-up. Therapy consisted steroid administration associated antiviral treatment when viral infection was suspected.All first had full recovery...
This study evaluates if a computed tomography (CT) scan is useful to assess the olfactory loss in sinonasal disease, and preoperative CT has predictive value for long-term outcome regarding olfaction.Thirty-one patients with nasal polyposis were included. Olfactory function was assessed 'Sniffin' Sticks' test subjective perception recorded visual analogue scale. scans Lund-Mackay system Damm segmentation. Patients retested after endoscopic sinus surgery follow-up appointment at least 1 year...
This study investigates olfactory epithelium biopsies from patients with nasal polyposis, in correlation test results and ratings of dysfunction pre- postoperatively.Twenty-seven polyposis were included. Olfactory function was tested the "Sniffin Sticks" test. Biopsies region performed at end endoscopic surgery studied immunohistochemistry. Patients used a visual analogue scale to report their when re-examined one year postoperatively.Subjects little or no inflammation respiratory had...
