Article Synopsis
- The "V Brazilian Consensus on Rhinitis" is a significant update aimed at improving the understanding and management of rhinitis, focusing on evidence-based practices.
- * It includes detailed information on rhinitis phenotypes, diagnostic criteria, treatment customization based on symptoms and comorbidities, and the importance of thorough clinical evaluation.
- * The guideline also emphasizes patient education and addresses specific populations such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly to enhance overall quality of life for those affected by rhinitis.
Background: In the absence of direct evidence supporting how to use nasal endoscopy findings to judge chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) disease control, experts' practice patterns could provide guidance.
Methodology: Participants consisted of a diverse group of twenty-nine rhinologists. Participants were presented with every possible combination of bilateral nasal endoscopy findings represented by the modified Lund-Kennedy (MLK; range: 0-12) endoscopic scoring system and Nasal Polyp Score (NPS; range: 0-8).
Objectives: To determine the inflammatory profile of CRSwNP in Brazil and characterize the subgroups of CRSwNP patients in this population through cluster analysis.
Study Design: Multicenter cross-sectional study involving 15 centers representing different regions of Brazil.
Subjects And Methods: Clinical data of 166 patients and 80 controls, aged 18 to 70 years old, number of surgeries for CRS, history of asthma and aspirin sensitivity, and Lund-Mackay scores on CT scans.
Although validated and reliable psychophysical tests of olfactory function are available, an easy-to-use and feasible test has yet to be developed. This study aimed to design a digital odour identification test, evaluate its validity, assess its reliability, establish a normative curve, and explore the impact of demographic factors. The odour identification test was presented with the Multiscent-20, a hand-held, tablet-like digital scent device that features an integrated odour digital delivery system.
