Olfactory Cleft Opacification Improves With Intranasal Steroid Treatment and Is Correlated With Objective and Patient-Reported Olfactory Outcomes.

In patients with severe olfactory and gustatory dysfunction, olfactory cleft opacification improves with expanded intranasal steroid treatment (EDS-FLU) relative to placebo. This is directly associated with objective and patient-reported taste/smell improvement.

Unilateral Versus Bilateral Endoscopic Resection of Olfactory Neuroblastoma: Pooled Analysis From Prospective and Retrospective Multicenter Data.

Background: Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare sinonasal malignancy primarily treated with surgery. For tumors arising from the olfactory area, traditional treatment involves transcribriform resection of the anterior cranial fossa. Surgery can be performed with unilateral or bilateral resection depending on extent of involvement; however, there are currently no studies comparing outcomes between the two.

"Part of the world again": qualitative enquiry into community participation during inpatient rehabilitation and transition years following severe brain injury.

Purpose: To understand the experience of community and social participation for people with severe ABI during inpatient rehabilitation and the transition years.

Methods: Constructivist grounded theory methodology informed participant recruitment and data analysis. Adults with ABI were recruited using purposive sampling and data collected via in-depth interviews.

National Beef Quality Audit-2022: Harvest-floor assessments of hide defects, carcass defects, and offal condemnations that affect value of carcasses and by-products from market cows and bulls.

The National Beef Quality Audit ()-2022 serves as a benchmark of the current market cow and bull sectors of the U.S. beef industry and allows comparison to previous audits as a method of monitoring industry progress.

Shunt-Dependent Hydrocephalus After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Investigation of Prognostic Variables and Creation of a Stronger Predictive Model.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is frequently complicated by permanent shunt-dependent hydrocephalus, but it is difficult to predict which patients are at highest risk.

Objective: This study seeks to identify novel variables associated with shunt dependency after aSAH and to create a predictive algorithm that improves upon existing models.

Methods: Retrospective case control design was used.
