Objective: To explore the effect of adenoidectomy on pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis.
Method: A total of 51 pediatric patients with chronic rhinosinusitis were included in this study. There were 17 cases underwent adenoidectomy, 12 cases underwent endoscopic sinus surgery,and 22 cases underwent both adenoidectomy and endoscopic sinus surgery.
Result: There was significant differences in the efficiencies between endoscopic sinus surgery group and both adenoidectomy and endoscopic sinus surgery group.
Conclusion: Adenoidectomy is effective treatment for sinusitis in children.

A patient in his 70s, admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit with cardiogenic shock, unexpectedly presented with nasal myiasis during a workup for persistently elevated inflammatory markers. CT scans revealed sinusitis and bronchial secretions, while bronchoscopy identified mucus with positive pathogen testing. Nasal endoscopy was crucial in diagnosing myiasis, and immediate mechanical removal of larvae was performed.

Background: We developed and assessed the performance of a machine learning model (MLM) to identify, classify, and segment sinonasal masses based on endoscopic appearance.
Methods: A convolutional neural network-based model was constructed from nasal endoscopy images from patients evaluated at an otolaryngology center between 2013 and 2024. Images were classified into four groups: normal endoscopy, nasal polyps, benign, and malignant tumors.

Introduction: Tissue eosinophil counts (TEC) might serve as a biomarker linking chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and the presence of adult-onset asthma. This study aimed to determine if TEC in sinus mucosa/polyps in CRS patients is an independent indicator of asthma and to identify its optimal cut-off point.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on primary CRS patients scheduled for surgery.

Background: Dysbiosis of the bacterial and fungal microbiome has been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). This study explores the relationship between microbiome and mycobiome biodiversity and type 2 (T2) versus non-type 2 (NT2) inflammation.
Methods: Mucosal tissues from the ethmoid sinus were collected during endoscopic sinus (CRS) and skull base (controls) surgery between January 2020 and July 2021.
