Our purpose is to evaluate the performance of magnetic resonance (MR) radiomics analysis for differentiating between malignant and benign parotid neoplasms and, among latter, pleomorphic adenomas Warthin tumors. We retrospectively evaluated 75 T2-weighted images gland lesions, which 61 were tumors (32 adenomas, 23 6 oncocytomas) 14 A receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was performed find threshold values most discriminative features determine their sensitivity, specificity area...
Nasal cytology is a precious tool to study nasal disorders, but in current literature, there no consensus on the standardization of processing procedure obtained samples. Therefore, we decided test specimens by scraping, common way specimen sampling, two different techniques, smear and cytocentrifugation, compare them terms inflammatory cell content, quality slides, validity clinical assessment. We analyzed 105 patients with suspected sinonasal diseases, each patient, performed both...
Background:The evolution of endoscopic skull base approaches has enabled surgeons to manage selected tumors through a transnasal endoscope-assisted approach.On the other side, more extensive lesions may require combined cranioendoscopic approach.In this paper, we analysed and compared incidence frontal lobe sagging after multilayer (EM) reconstruction versus pericranial flap (PF) reconstruction.Methodology: Subjects were retrospectively according specific inclusion exclusion criteria.The...
Orbital abscess is one of the most serious complications acute rhinosinusitis and requires surgical management to avoid further such as visual loss intracranial extension infectious process. Endoscopic sinus surgery frequently used procedure in cases, even if its use may be insufficient some cases. The aim present study our experience on selected orbital abscesses through a superior eyelid endoscopic approach combination with endonasal surgery. Personal considerations four cases lessons...
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a predominantly type 2 inflammation-mediated disease of the mucosa and paranasal sinuses that often coexists asthma. The role atopy in development severity CRSwNP still controversial issue.The aim our study was to propose systematic allergy workup identify atopic patients context characterize their allergen sensitization profile (sources/molecules).Patients diagnosis (n = 97) were studied otorhinolaryngologist settings. Demographic...
<h3>Background</h3> Dry nose is reported quite frequently by patients affected primary Sjögren9s syndrome (pSS) in daily practice. However, a clear definition of nasal involvement pSS not available. <h3>Objectives</h3> a) to explore clinical presentation analyzing key symptoms, objective findings at the inspection external and inner cytology b) investigate any associations/correlation between other clinical-serological disease manifestations c) assess overall impact on outcomes (PROs)....
