Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinus and nasal cavity, with prevalence approximately 4.5%–12% worldwide [1]. Recently, biologics targeting type 2 (T2) inflammation pathway have emerged as alternative treatment option for CRS polyps (CRSwNP), alongside functional endoscopic surgery (FESS), which continues to be primary patients who do not respond medical management [2, 3]. However, in our previous report where recurrence was measured 16%, we found...

Abstract The adulteration of cold‐pressed avocado oil (AVO), a high‐value commodity, poses significant economic and health concerns. This study aimed to develop method for identifying AVO with refined its utilization evaluate commercial (cAVO) samples. Avocados from the United States New Zealand at different stages maturity were subjected oven‐drying microwave‐drying produce authentic in‐house AVOs. Various parameters, including glycidyl ester (GE) 3‐monochloropropanediol (3‐MCPDE) contents,...
In this simple method for rapid enzymatic determination of total cholesterol in human gallstones, gallstone powder is dissolved an 80/20 by vol mixture N,N-dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide reacted directly with the aqueous reagent, without further treatment. The organic solvents do not interfere activities oxidase, esterase, peroxidase assay mixture. reproducible (CVs 3.7% to 6.6%), analytical recoveries ranged from 98.6% 102%, linearity good. Furthermore, results correlated well...
