Background: Corticosteroids are used in managing Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) through several formulations, including oral steroids and nasal sprays. More recently, incorporating concentrated budesonide respules into high-volume saline irrigations has been proposed to enhance the penetration of topical steroids into the paranasal sinuses. We aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of budesonide nasal irrigation (BNI) in managing CRS.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTCIPP (tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate) and TCEP (tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate) are organophosphate ester flame retardants found in various consumer products, posing significant health and environmental risks through inhalation, ingestion, and dermal exposure. Research reveals these compounds cause oxidative stress, inflammation, endocrine disruption, genotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and potentially hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, developmental, reproductive, and immunotoxicity. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the toxicological mechanisms of TCIPP and TCEP and presents the latest data on their toxicological effects obtained in vitro and in vivo, using omic systems, and on the basis of computational modelling.
