Chronic rhinosinusitis: microbiology and treatment of acute exacerbations in patients after endoscopic surgery.

Objective: Antibiotics are the mainstay of therapy for acute exacerbation of chronic rhinosinusitis. However, no treatment guidelines exist. Most clinicians follow the recommendations for acute bacterial rhinosinusitis, usually caused by , or , and treat with amoxicillin or amoxicillin-clavulanate.

Association between cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular drug therapy, and in-hospital outcomes in patients with COVID-19: data from a large single-center registry in Poland.

Background: The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) recently became one of the leading causes of death worldwide, similar to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Coexisting CVD may influence the prognosis of patients with COVID-19.

Aims: We analyzed the impact of CVD and the use of cardiovascular drugs on the in-hospital course and mortality of patients with COVID-19.

Stability of ABR Wave V Threshold in Early Hearing Diagnostics in Children from Selected Groups at Risk of Congenital Hearing Loss.

<b>Introduction:</b> Upon hearing that the "little" patient has trouble with hearing, we are mostly interested in the level of his hearing threshold. When the child is in the first year of life, results can only be achieved by means of ABR test. Subsequent control tests, especially in children from the hearing loss risk groups selected in this study, show that the obtained outcomes are subject to fluctuations.

Biomaterials in the Reconstruction of Nasal Septum Perforation.

Introduction: Septal perforations are among the most common craniofacial defects. The causes of septal perforations are varied.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to develop a septal cartilage implant biomaterial for use in the reconstruction of nasal septal perforations and prepare personalized implants for each patient individually using 3D printing technology.

Inferior nasal turbinate mucosa shrinkage prior to surgery under local anaesthesia.

Introduction And Objectives: Chronic rhinitis-related complaints may result from isolated hypertrophy of the inferior nasal turbinates. If the symptoms persist despite conservative management, turbinoplasty is indicated. However, the nasal mucosa lining the inferior turbinates seems decongested immediately before the surgery performed under local anaesthesia, compared to the examination when the patients were entered for surgery.
