Abstract

Nasal septal deviation is one of the major causes of nasal respiratory flow disorders. During the rhinoseptoplasty, the septum can be treated through a closed traditional access or through an open access. To date, there are still no objective functional indications of the best access to use in rhinoseptoplasty. For this reason, we evaluated, objectively and subjectively, the functional efficiency of open access and compared it with that of closed access. The aim is to highlight any functional outcome differences between the 2 types of access. The study involved up to 50 patients, from January 2006 to June 2017; 20 patients underwent modified extracorporeal rhinoseptoplasty with open access, and 30 patients underwent modified extracorporeal rhinoseptoplasty with closed access. We evaluated the nasal obstruction by using the validated questionnaire Nasal Obstruction Symptoms Evaluation (subjective method) and by performing the anterior active rhinomanometry (objective method). Both evaluations were performed in 3 different times: preoperative period, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery. In the open cohort, the rhinomanometric analysis showed a statistically significant increase between preoperative period and sixth month after s...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
