Article Synopsis
  • A study compared two pilot-scale MBBR treatment trains in a wastewater plant using methanol and glycerol as carbon sources over 371 days.
  • Both trains successfully met the total inorganic nitrogen requirement of < 3 mg/L while achieving significant savings in methanol (31.6% to 46.3%) and glycerol (30.9% to 43.8%).
  • The research revealed differing mechanisms for nitrite production; methanol favored anammox through competition with denitrification, while glycerol relied on the rates of denitratation and denitritation, highlighting the importance of the half-saturation constants of the carbon sources.

Purpose: Although the effectiveness of molecular antibodies has been established, evidence is still lacking on objective predictors of response. The aim of this study was to assess whether the extent of previous endoscopic sinus surgeries, assessed by means of the Amsterdam Classification of Completeness of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ACCESS) score, may influence clinical outcomes in refractory CRSwNP patients treated with dupilumab.

Materials And Methods: A consecutive sample of patients treated with dupilumab for previously operated recalcitrant CRSwNP were enrolled in the study.

Evaluation of effectiveness of non-mucosa-sparing (eg, reboot) surgery in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), poorly responders to mAb therapy, who failed repeated comprehensive endoscopic surgeries. Retrospective observational study. Patients who were under mAb for a comorbid condition but still had no control over their CRSwNP were included.
