Rhinitis Phytotherapy with Immunostimulating Herbal Oily Macerates as an Alternative Treatment Approach: A Hypothesis.

The hypersensitivity of the nasal mucosa to pathogens, allergens, or nasal drugs, accompanied by a dysfunctional immune response, is the cause of various types of rhinitis. Regardless of the commercial drugs used in treatment, rhinitis is a chronic disease of the modern population. Hence the dilemma: can commercially-available drugs cure rhinitis or only temporarily suppress the disease symptoms.

Trustworthy Wireless Sensor Networks for Monitoring Humidity and Moisture Environments.

Wireless sensors networks (WSNs) are characterized by flexibility and scalability in any environment. These networks are increasingly used in agricultural and industrial environments and have a dual role in data collection from sensors and transmission to a monitoring system, as well as enabling the management of the monitored environment. Environment management depends on trust in the data collected from the surrounding environment, including the time of data creation.

Wireless Sensor Network in Agriculture: Model of Cyber Security.

Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSN) are widely used in agriculture monitoring to improve the quality and productivity of farming. In this application, sensors gather different types of data (i.e.

Reliability and Versatility of Reverse Sural Island Neurofasciocutaneous Leg Flaps.

Background: Distally based sural neurofasciocutaneous (NFC) flaps are a commonly used method for foot and ankle reconstruction given that they are much simpler and, at the same time, still efficient alternative to perforator flaps and free style free flaps.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the reliability and versatility of reverse sural island NFC flaps as a powerful and efficient method that can be used for repair of lower leg skin defects. This method does not require microsurgical facilities or extensive training.

Recycling and Reinforcing Intimomedial Flap of the Infrarenal Aorta Using Anterior Longitudinal Ligament in Patients With Acute Trauma With Bowel Injuries.

We present a patient with blunt abdominal trauma with severe acute right limb ischemia and clinical signs of diffuse peritonitis. Computed tomography angiography showed circumferential dissection of the infrarenal aorta with occlusion of the right common iliac artery. We opted for simultaneous abdomen exploration and open repair of injured aorta.

Comparative analysis of clinicopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of Merkel cell carcinoma.

Purpose: To investigate both the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of a very rare skin cancer - Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) - and to review the relevant literature.

Methods: The study group was composed of 12 patients, with mean age 53.08±10.

The use of total ossicular replacement prosthesis after radical tympanomastoidectomy.

Background/aim: This paper presents our operative method for hearing recovery after the previous radical tympanomasto-idectomy, radical trepanation of the temporal bone (trepanatio radicalis ossis temporalis--TROT) in eight patients submitted to operations for giant cholesteatotoma.

Methods: All the patients were admitted to our clinic after TROT. There were no signs of cholesteatoma or infection.
