Abstract:
The aim of this work is to do a review on relations between the eosinophils and nasosinusal polyps. The etiopathogenical action of eosinophils are reviewed, from bone narrow to nasal mucosa infiltration. The mechanism of tissue eosinophilic mediated inflammation, his regulation and the significance of the balance between positive (IL-5) and negative (TGFbeta and IL10) mediators are discussed. We conclude that the degree of eosinophilic infiltration and degranulation's patterns are important aspects conditioning the severity and prognosis of chronic rhinosinusitis and nasosinusal polyps.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features
The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...
