Murine Nasal Lavage Fluid Collection without Blood Contamination05:12

Murine Nasal Lavage Fluid Collection without Blood Contamination

1.7K
The present protocol describes a novel method for avoiding blood contamination in murine nasal lavage fluid (NLF). Since this method ensures the NLF collection without blood contamination, it allows for more accurate detections of immunological components and various respiratory...

Nasolacrimal Lavage as a Treatment for Ocular Surface Toxic Soup Syndrome

1.1K
OSTSS leads to pooled inflammatory mediators in the tear film, causing symptoms like epiphora and discomfort. Here, we present a case where therapeutic nasolacrimal lavage every 2 months resolved epiphora and itchiness, suggesting its efficacy as a therapeutic intervention for OSTSS. Additionally, we report subjective improvements in symptoms in 3 additional...

Saline Lavage for Sampling of the Canine Nasal Immune Microenvironment

880
Saline nasal lavage can be used to sample the canine nasal immune microenvironment. Because the approach is relatively non-invasive and does not disrupt the nasal tissues, it can be performed serially. Cells and proteins collected from the nasal lavage technique can be processed for various laboratory analyses.

Symptom Assessment of Patients with Allergic Rhinitis Using an Allergen Exposure Chamber

2.9K
A protocol for conducting a challenge in an allergen exposure chamber (AEC) facility is presented. AECs have proven to be safe and effective tools for the induction of allergic symptoms or as an endpoint in the efficacy testing of allergen immunotherapy due to their ability to maintain stable particle concentrations and environmental...

Reduced Itraconazole Concentration and Durations Are Successful in Treating Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Infection in Amphibians

12.0K
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infection in amphibians can be eliminated using a reduced concentration (0.0025%) and shorter duration (five minute baths for six days) of itraconazole than is generally used. Less mortality and fewer negative side effects were observed using this modified treatment...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Rhinosinusitis Research

Background:

  • Traditional surgical treatments for chronic sinusitis in children, including tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, antral irrigations, and inferior meatal windows, have shown limited efficacy.
  • Chronic sinusitis significantly impacts children's quality of life, necessitating improved therapeutic options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic ethmoidectomy and maxillary antrostomy as a primary surgical modality for treating chronic sinusitis in pediatric patients.
  • To assess the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive endoscopic sinus surgery in children.

Main Methods:

  • Direct endoscopic visualization and access to the ethmoid sinuses for diseased tissue removal.
  • Endoscopic enlargement of the natural maxillary sinus ostium (antrostomy) to ensure long-term patency.
  • Application of surgical techniques designed to minimize scarring and ensure procedural safety.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic ethmoidectomy allows for direct and safe access to the ethmoid sinuses.
  • Endoscopic maxillary antrostomy results in a high degree of ostial patency.
  • The combined procedure demonstrates significant effectiveness in managing chronic sinusitis in children.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic ethmoidectomy and maxillary antrostomy represent the most effective surgical treatment for chronic sinusitis in children to date.
  • This minimally invasive approach offers a safe and reliable alternative to less effective traditional surgical methods.
