Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has long been a suspected risk factor for Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD). However, there have few studies quantifying the presence of ETD in CRS patients. We sought to determine prevalence symptoms patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) using validated 7-item Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ-7) and correlate ETDQ-7 scores with symptom severity based on 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22). Methods Patients FESS were...
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has long been associated with vocal dysfunction. However, studies quantifying the presence of voice dysfunction in CRS patients or effects functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) are sparse. The goal this study was to determine voice-related quality life undergoing FESS for using validated Voice Related Quality Life Survey (VRQL). We correlated preoperative VRQL scores Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) scores, and we determined effect on postoperative...
Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) is a relatively rare primary tumor of the soft tissues predominantly affecting men in second and third decades life. They are less common form cancerous growth known as an sarcoma, which occurs bones or tissue such cartilage. Head neck ESS can require intervention including endoscopic sinus surgery, septoplasty, inferior turbinectomy, left internal nasal valve repairs with septal cartilage This case report on unusual presentation sinonasal region.
Introduction From April 2009 to December 2016, 661 consecutive patients undergoing sinus surgery completed a quality of life (QOL) questionnaire (SNOT-22) preoperatively and at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively. Objective (1) To evaluate the long-term efficacy using QOL instruments. (2) determine optimal evaluation time for surgical efficacy. (3) if results improve with yearly experience. Methods The prospective study were split into two groups: Group A, those who initial preoperative all...
In every double blind clinical study of therapies, a certain percentage subjects obtain the same benefit from placebo, as with real drug.Using today's advanced brain imaging; we can identify specific centers that supply healing effect when it is placebo [1].To augment therapy, reduce amount drug use and speed time healing, I suggest utilize known principles physiology.
