Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of intralesional sclerotherapy using 3% sodium tetradecyl sulfate versus traditional treatments for managing epistaxis (nosebleeds) in patients with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT).
- The study included a review of patient records from January 2010 to February 2024, comparing outcomes like frequency of nosebleeds, blood loss during surgery, and complications over a 3-month follow-up period.
- Results showed that sclerotherapy led to fewer episodes of breakthrough epistaxis and significantly less intraoperative blood loss compared to non-sclerotherapy procedures, while showing similar intervals between treatments and a relatively low complication rate.
Background: There are major challenges in olfactory measurements in clinical practice; therefore, a handheld digital scent device (DSD; Noar MultiScent 20) was developed as a tablet with an integrated storage system for odors. The DSD is a self-administered, handheld device that controls the duration of odor release to the nasal cavity through a touchscreen digital interface with automatic database generation. In this study we aimed to determine the feasibility of this DSD as an olfactory assessment test.
