Abstract Topical intra-nasal sprays are amongst the most commonly prescribed therapeutic options for sinonasal diseases in humans. However, inconsistency and ambiguity instructions show a lack of definitive knowledge on best spray use techniques. In this study, we have identified new usage strategy nasal available over-the-counter, that registers an average 8-fold improvement topical delivery drugs at diseased sites, when compared to prevalent The protocol involves re-orienting axis harness...

ABSTRACT Objective Health policies affect clinical practice and outcomes, serving as an impetus for civic engagement. Voting participation among Otolaryngology–Head Neck Surgery (OHNS) trainees is poorly characterized may be afflicted by distinct barriers specific to training. This the first study evaluate voter OHNS trainees. Methods We analyzed survey data from 2020 American Academy of Otolaryngology Section Residents Fellows (AAO SRF), capturing voting practices well attitudes promoting...

Objectives/Hypothesis Children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) often suffer from nasal obstruction that may be related to effects on volume. The objective of this study was compare side:side volume ratios in patients unilateral (UCLP) bilateral (BCLP) clefts age‐matched controls. Study Design Retrospective case–control using three‐dimensional (3D) airway reconstructions. Methods We analyzed 20 subjects (age range = 7–12 years) UCLP BCLP a regional craniofacial center who underwent cone beam...

Background Topical intranasal drugs are widely prescribed for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), although delivery can vary with device type and droplet size. The study objective was to compare nebulized sprayed deposition in the paranasal sinuses ostiomeatal complex (OMC) across multiple sizes CRS patients using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Methods Three‐dimensional models of sinonasal cavities were constructed from computed tomography (CT) scans 3 subjects refractory medical therapy...

Background: Nasal septal perforations (NSPs) often cause bleeding, crusting, obstruction, and/or whistling.The objective was to analyze the impact of anterior NSP size and shape on nasal physiology using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Methods:A 3-dimensional model cavity constructed from a radiologically normal CT scan imaging software.Anterior NSPs (ovoid (ONSP): 0.5, 1, 2, 3 cm long anterior-to-posteriorly round (RNSP, 0.5 1 cm)) were virtually created in divided into ventral, dorsal,...

Objective Despite the increasing racial diversity of United States, representation in academic medicine faculty does not reach concordance with general population and worsens higher rank. Few studies have examined this within Otolaryngology surgical subspecialties. This project aims to compare rank equity on self‐reported gender race/ethnicity between years 2000 2020. Methods Publicly available data were obtained from Association American Medical Colleges under “Data & Reports” section...

Objective Outcome measures in healthcare that presume a higher level of patient health and overall literacy may inadequately estimate the disease experiences less‐educated patients further disadvantage them. Patient‐Reported Measures (PROMs) are widely used communication tools for clinical practice often to evaluate guide management chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) skull base diseases. However, their readability subsequent incomprehensibility have not been assessed. The aim this study is...
