Sell EA, Tan LH, Renner DM, Douglas J, Lee RJ, Kohanski MA, Bosso JV, Kennedy DW, Palmer JN, Adappa ND, Weiss SR and Cohen NA
Viral infections have long been implicated in the development of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Given widespread exposure to the common cold coronavirus 229E (HCoV229E), we sought to investigate how HCoV-229E is cleared and stimulates interferon pathways in air-liquid interface (ALI) cultures from patients with CRSwNP.
Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Promotes Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Expression Contributes to Development of Allergic Rhinitis
Liao Y, Zhang X, Tao S, Wang S, Huang Q, Tang P, Tang A, Yang P and Yang G
The Th2 cell polarization is a crucial factor in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. The underlying mechanism requires further investigation. Telomerase has an immune-regulating ability. The aim of this study is to elucidate the association between telomerase and Th2 cell polarization in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR).
Dupilumab Treatment for Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease in a Real-World Setting: Impact on Quality of Life and Healthcare Utilization
Mullur J, Maurer R, Ryan T, McGill A, Bensko JC, Laidlaw TM and Buchheit KM
Patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) have difficult-to-treat asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and often require treatment with biologic therapy for asthma or CRSwNP. Healthcare utilization in patients with AERD has not been well described since the advent of respiratory biologics.
Predictors for Development of Chronic Rhinosinusitis in Transplant Recipients
Candelo E, Bohorquez-Caballero AD, Avila-Castano K, Mercado LA and Donaldson A
Studies suggest that transplant patients are at a higher risk of developing chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, there is a dearth of studies describing the factors that may be linked to the development of CRS in this population. Our objective is to identify the risk factors associated with the development of CRS in transplant recipients.
The Effect of the Nasal Structure on the Olfactory Cleft Airflow: A Systematic Review
Chen L, Liu Y and Wu D
Conductive olfactory losses mainly involve obstruction of the olfactory cleft (OC) and diminished OC airflow. This study investigated the association between abnormal nasal structure and OC airflow.
Assessing the Readability, Reliability, and Quality of AI-Modified and Generated Patient Education Materials for Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery
Warn M, Meller LLT, Chan D, Torabi SJ, Bitner BF, Tajudeen BA and Kuan EC
Despite National Institutes of Health and American Medical Association recommendations to publish online patient education materials at or below sixth-grade literacy, those pertaining to endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) have lacked readability and quality. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of synthesizing vast internet data to generate responses to user queries but its utility in improving patient education materials has not been explored.
The Evaluation Value of the Modified Lund-Kennedy Nasal Endoscopy Score on the Efficacy of Sublingual Immunotherapy for Allergic Rhinitis
Zhang Y, Jiang H, Long Y and Li J
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a growing public health problem worldwide. Respecting the significance of the modified Lund-Kennedy (MLK) score in rhinitis assessment, we delved into its evaluation value on the sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) efficacy in AR patients.
Malvidin From Ameliorates Allergic Responses in Ovalbumin-Induced Allergic Rhinitis Mouse Model via the STAT6/GATA3 Pathway
Yirui L, Tao L, Ruowu L, Jiao Z, Jing Z, Xiaodong X, Yan Y, Bachert C, Jintao D and Luo B
L. (commonly known as mallow) has been widely used in traditional Tibetan formulations to treat allergic rhinitis (AR), and malvidin is a key anti-inflammation constituent of this plant.
Comparative Effectiveness of Dupilumab Versus Sinus Surgery for Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Polyps: Systematic Review and a Meta-Analysis
Kim DH, Stybayeva G and Hwang SH
Current treatment paradigms recommend surgical intervention when conventional medical management proves ineffective in resolving chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis.

Intranasal Trigeminal Function in Aging Adults
Feit NZ, Kloosterman N, LaPointe KA, Pitiranggon C, Finnegan IE, Smith CD, Gregoski MJ, Rowan NR, Soler ZM and Schlosser RJ
Intranasal trigeminal function is important in detecting environmental stimuli. The impact of age-associated chemosensory dysfunction upon taste and olfaction is well described, but an understanding of trigeminal loss (chemesthesis) is lacking.
Antimicrobial Prescription Patterns for Acute Sinusitis 2015-2022: A Comparison to Published Guidelines
Dhar S, Kothari DS, Tomescu AL, D'Anza B, Rodriguez K, Sheyn A and Rangarajan SV
Acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) is one of the most encountered conditions in primary care and otolaryngology clinics. However, little is known about how antibiotic prescription practices following a diagnosis of ARS compare to guidelines set forth by the American Academy of Otolaryngology in 2015.
Soluble Guanylate Cyclase Dysfunction and Nitric Oxide Pathway in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps: Predictive Markers for Postoperative Recurrence
Jiang Md S, Zhang Md C, Tong Md Z, Xie PhD S, Xie Md Z, Zhang Md H and Jiang Md W
Elevated nitric oxide (NO) levels have been linked to a heightened risk of recurrence in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the precise influence of NO on CRSwNP recurrence remains unclear.
Practice Patterns of Biologics Prescriptions and Surgery in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps
Almarri FK, Algahtani S, Alokby G, Alanazi M and Alsaleh S
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remains challenging to manage effectively, with high symptom recurrence rates and significant impacts on quality of life, prompting a need to evaluate the real-world use of biologics and optimize treatment strategies.
Cribriform Plate Foramina Count in Patients With Acquired and Congenital Anosmia
Juratli JH, High B, Joshi A, Yilmaz E, Yildirim D, Altundag A and Hummel T
Cribriform foramina provide the openings for olfactory nerve fibers to cross from the nasal cavity to the olfactory bulb. Disruption of the olfactory nerve fibers is known to affect olfactory function, but little is known about the potential effects on the number of cribriform foramina in congenital anosmia.
