Background The aim of the present study was to measure eotaxin‐3 (CCL26) and eotaxin‐2 (CCL24) in nasal lavage fluid patients with different forms chronic sinonasal eosinophilic inflammation evaluate their role pathophysiology hypereosinophilia. Methods an analytic cross‐section study, level evidence 3b. Patients (n = 80) hypereosinophilia were randomly recruited grouped following categories: persistent allergic rhinitis (AR) 25), nonallergic eosinophilia syndrome (NARES) 30), rhinosinusitis...
Background The aim of the present study was to measure levels granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF) in nasal lavage patients affected by chronic eosinophilic sinonasal inflammation clarify relationship with tissue infiltration and clinical features. Methods Between November 2012 June 2013, we selected 70 (average age 41.8 years) who were classified into following groups: persistent allergic rhinitis (group 1), noninfectious non‐allergic eosinophilia syndrome 2)...
Background We evaluated the prognostic value of nasal cytology and clinical factors in predicting polyp (NP) development patients with history nonallergic chronic sinonasal inflammation. Methods This was a retrospective case‐control study 295 followed at our institution for mean 85.70 ± 19.41 months. According to inclusion criteria we enrolled 84 cases persistent eosinophilic inflammation (group A) 106 neutrophilic B), both without evidence NPs baseline. considered as controls 105 affected...
in the era of new biological agents it is important to identify patients who may benefit from conventional therapies such as endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) plus long-term local corticosteroids those with patterns inflammation that are more difficult control post-operatively and other therapies.determine if preoperative assessment type grade clinical factors can predict disease ESS chronic rhinosinusitis nasal polyps (CRSwNP).Eighty treated mometasone-furoate 200 μg BID for CRSwNP followed at...
After decades of massive digitisation, an unprecedented amount historical documents is available in digital format, along with their machine-readable texts. While this represents a major step forward respect to preservation and accessibility, it also opens up new opportunities terms content mining the next fundamental challenge develop appropriate technologies efficiently search, retrieve explore information from 'big data past'. Among semantic indexing opportunities, recognition...
Trans-sphenoidal endoscopic surgery has drawn huge benefits from advances in surgical visualization. The Ultra-HD "4K" endoscope improved 4-fold image resolution compared with HD, but its actual advantages are unclear. Aim of the present study was to assess usefulness early outcome trans-sphenoidal surgery.We analyzed a series 199 pituitary adenoma procedures performed by an experienced team using alternatively HD (N.=102) or 4K (N.=97) endoscopes. We evaluated extent resection both...
We release a multilingual named entity (NE) corpus of 19 th century commentaries to Sophocles' Ajax.Selected are written in English, German and French, but also replete with Latin Greek quotes.Bibliographic entities were annotated along traditional following our guidelines (Romanello & Najem-Meyer, 2022).The contains about 300 pages, 111,216 tokens 7,334 mentions was featured the HIPE-2022 shared task.Although recognition (NER) showed reassuring results, optical character (OCR) mistakes...
The aim of the study was to assess results from a large cohort patients undergoing otosclerosis surgery with respect impact intra-operative variables on post-operative hearing function and complications. We enrolled 384 affected by who were subjected stapes between 2004 2013 at single institution. Surgery performed in all cases under local anaesthesia, using manual perforator and/or microdrill. Teflon-piston prosthesis used patients. Audiological data obtained preoperatively last follow up...
Even large citation indexes such as the Web of Science, Scopus or Google Scholar cover only a small fraction literature in humanities. This coverage sensibly decreases going backwards time. Citation mining humanities publications — defined an instance bibliometric data and means to end building comprehensive indexes — remains open problem. In this contribution we discuss results two recent projects area: Cited Loci Linked Books. The former focused on domain classics, using journal...
Objective: To investigate the role of inflammation in non-allergic rhinitis (NAR) patients a large series to establish prevalence different NAR-subtypes, clinical features and nasal cytology diagnostic algorithm. Methodology: Patients were selected out 3650 individuals who spontaneously presented at our institution. We consecutively enrolled 519 NAR-patients an analytical cross-sectional study between November 2007 June 2013 (level evidence: 3b). All underwent rhinological evaluation...
Together with critical editions and translations, commentaries are one of the main genres publication in literary textual scholarship, have a century-long tradition. Yet, exploitation thousands digitized historical was hitherto hindered by poor quality Optical Character Recognition (OCR), especially on to Greek texts. In this paper, we evaluate performances two pipelines suitable for OCR classical commentaries. Our results show that Kraken + Ciaconna reaches substantially lower character...
Abstract With the recognition of content discoverability and information analytics in scientific publishing industry, more effort is dedicated to digitization automated analysis scholarly publications. As part this effort, authors designed a pipeline extract structured from bibliography index lists existing publications, as well disambiguate export it linked data. In article, present Brill Knowledge Graph ( kg ), obtained by applying corpus books Arts, Humanities Social Sciences ahss )...
Annotations played a major role in Classics since the very beginning of discipline. Some first attested examples philological work, so-called scholia, were fact marginalia, namely comments written at margins text. Over centuries this kind scholarship evolved until it became genre on its own, classical commentary, thus moving away from text with result that philologists had to devise solution linking together commented and commenting The problem is system canonical citations, special...
