A Survey of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Otolaryngologists.

There are increased reports of prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) in surgeons performing minimal access surgeries. Due to the nature of the speciality, otolaryngologists spend their work days in performing markedly precise procedures in small workspaces i.e.

Correlation of nasal nitric oxide measurement with computed tomography findings in chronic rhinosinusitis.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a biological messenger produced by mammalian cells serving various functions including regulation of blood flow, platelet function, immunity, and neurotransmission. The paranasal sinuses and nasal mucosa are a major source of exhaled NO. The aim of the study is to compare the nasal NO (nNO) levels in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with those of common cold patients and controls and to correlate CT scores with nNO levels.
