sinusitis/알부민

Forty outpatients with sinusitis were treated with equimolar doses of Ampicillin (556 mg) of Bacampicillin (800 mg) three times daily in a doubleblind fashion. To control the efficiency of the therapy the number of leukocytes, sedimentation rate, subjective and objective symptomes were evaluated

OBJECTIVE We aim to provide useful evidence on the relationship between the albumin levels and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP) and its potential use as an inexpensive, reliable, and independent prognostic marker of CRSwNP. METHODS Forty-five patients with CRSwNP and 45 healthy

Nasal mucociliary clearance is one of the homeostatic systems of the respiratory mucosa. Various rhinopathic conditions may involve alterations in nasal mucociliary clearance. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical role of rhinoscintigraphy in the evaluation of nasal mucociliary clearance

Nasal mucociliary clearance is a first line of defence mechanism of the respiratory system against inhaled particles. It transports particles depositing into the nasal passages to the pharynx to be swallowed or expectorated, thus protecting the respiratory system from injury. Clearance function is

BACKGROUND Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA; aspirin) is a well-known inducer of pseudoallergic response in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps (CRSwPs). The mechanism that leads to this response remains unclear. This study was designed to measure and compare the local and systemic

OBJECTIVE Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is characterized by persistent inflammation and tissue remodeling of the nasal mucosa. Adenoidectomy is an effective surgical treatment in pediatric CRS. To evaluate the effect of pediatric CRS on the severity and characteristics of adenoid inflammation, the

BACKGROUND The role of silent aspiration of nasal secretions in the pathogenesis of asthma has often been questioned. OBJECTIVE To investigate the presence of pulmonary aspiration of nasal secretions during sleep in patients with chronic sinusitis and asthma and in healthy

The effect of biochemical components on the viscoelasticity of nasal mucus from 24 patients with chronic sinusitis (CS) was investigated by multiple stepwise regression analysis. The dynamic viscosity (eta') and the elastic modulus (G') of nasal mucus were determined with an oscillating sphere

Nalidixic acid is a bacterial DNA gyrase inhibitor and the first member of the synthetic quinolone antibiotics. It is used in the treatment of various infectious diseases like urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, sexually transmitted diseases, acute bronchitis, and sinusitis.

BACKGROUND It has been suggested that an exaggerated immune response to fungi is crucial in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Based on this rationale, the use of topical antifungals (amphotericin B) has been advocated. Studies on its clinical effectiveness are, however,

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress exacerbates lower airway diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, its role in upper airway (sinonasal) chronic inflammatory disorders is less clear. Nuclear erythroid 2 p45-related factor (Nrf2) is an endogenous mechanism that

The nasal lavage fluids (NLFs) from four subjects with acute sinusitis were analyzed to investigate the amount of proteins expressed in this pathology at the beginning of the event (day 1) and after 6 days of treatment with antibiotics and a nasal steroid spray. The protein identification was

24 patients with maxillary sinusitis were studied with regard to the effect of therapy. 8 of the patients were treated with a single dose of antibiotics and repeated antral aspirations at close intervals. 16 other patients were treated with repeated aspirations only. In the first group, 'cure', in

Pathophysiologic differences in neural responses to hypertonic saline (HTS) were investigated in subjects with acute sinusitis (n = 25), subjects with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) with nonallergic rhinitis (n = 14), subjects with active allergic rhinitis (AR; n = 17), and normal (n = 20) subjects.
