- - Objective: There's an ongoing debate about which rhinosurgical procedures should be done on an outpatient basis versus inpatient, highlighting a lack of clarity, especially about nasal packing materials.
- - Material and Methods: A checklist was created to help categorize sinunasal procedures into inpatient or outpatient based on current research and identified risk factors.
- - Results and Conclusions: The study identifies specific sinunasal procedures best suited for inpatient treatment and provides a thorough checklist to guide decisions on procedure type and patient discharge readiness.
Objectives: The aim is to investigate the influence of the anatomy-based fitting (ABF) in cochlear implants (CI) on the perception of specific musical features.
Design: The Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Amusia (MBEA) test battery was performed with a collective of 16 CI users with and without an anatomy-based fitting and 9 normal hearing subjects. The insertion angles of the intracochlear electrode arrays were calculated using Otoplan® (MED-EL, Innsbruck, Austria) software.
Bronchiectasis is a pathological dilatation of the bronchi in the respiratory airways associated with environmental or genetic causes (e.g., cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, and primary immunodeficiency disorders), but most cases remain idiopathic.

- Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is an inflammatory condition often treated with the anti-IL-5 antibody mepolizumab, which was approved as an additional therapy in 2021 when other treatments fail.
- Current guidelines for using mepolizumab in CRSwNP lack detailed instructions on monitoring, documentation, and discontinuation protocols.
- A literature review led to recommendations for following up on treatment, ensuring adherence to therapy schedules, and guidance on possible therapy interruptions or discontinuation for patients under the German healthcare system.
