- Acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) is commonly caused by viruses, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, more patients with cold-like symptoms were tested for SARS-Cov-2.
- A study evaluated 130 symptomatic COVID-19 patients, finding that 45% met diagnostic criteria for ARS, with common symptoms including rhinorrhoea and sinus pain.
- The findings suggested that ARS experienced by COVID-19 patients is similar to ARS from other causes, indicating that standard treatments like intranasal corticosteroids might be effective.
Short lingual frenulum and head-forward posture in children with the risk of obstructive sleep apnea.
Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol

Background: Recent studies have shown that a short lingual frenulum is a potential risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children. A short frenulum leads to abnormal orofacial development and may consequently contribute to sleep-disordered breathing by narrowing the upper airways and increasing the risk of upper-airway collapsibility. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a short lingual frenulum on the risk of OSAS in children.
