Abstract:
Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is performed in patients diagnosed with Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) refractory to primary medical therapy to achieve adequate disease control. This study aimed to assess which factors and phenotypes of CRS are associated with revision surgery in patients undergoing ESS. This retrospective, single-center study included 667 patients undergoing ESS between 2012 and 2015. We performed group comparisons to detect differences between CRS patients undergoing primary or revision surgery and computed binary logistic regression models. Logistic regression analysis revealed higher odds for revision surgery in CRS patients with older age (p-value < 0.001), male gender (p-value = 0.011), diagnosis of AERD (p-value = 0.005), and presence of asthma (p-value < 0.001) or allergies (p-value = 0.031). Confirming previous studies, we found that the factors of age, CRSwNP, AERD, allergies, and asthma are associated with revision ESS and identified surgical techniques that were predominantly used in revision cases.

Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
Epistaxis
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview
Antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl) block histamines from binding. Histamines are chemicals released during an allergic reaction in the body. As a...
