Article Abstract
Atrophic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by progressive atrophy of nasal mucosa. Cedecea davisae, a rare pathogen, is a new member of Enterobacteriaceae family. In this article, we report a patient with atrophic rhinitis whose culture test revealed Cedecea davisae. The patient was operated due to accompanying posterior ethmoid mucocele. Levofloxacin and nasal irrigation were administered for two months. Significant improvement was observed in patient's complaints and nasal signs at postoperative sixth month. In conclusion, Cedecea davisae has been thought to cause atrophic rhinitis and mucocele in this patient. Patient recovered with simple treatment. These bacteria should be kept in mind as a causative agent for atrophic rhinitis.

To evaluate the long-term effects of submucosal Medpor implants in patients with empty nose syndrome (ENS), using the Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT) score as a measure of clinical improvement. A comprehensive search of six databases was conducted up to October 2024. The analysis included studies that examined the impact of submucosal Medpor implants on refractory ENS symptoms, as assessed by various symptom-specific questionnaires.

The nasal mucosa is a crucial filtering organ to prevent attachment and invasion of pathogens. To assess nasal health in relation to lung health, transverse cross sections of the nasal turbinates of 121 pigs suffering from respiratory disease and sent for diagnostic necropsy were scored visually and by an artificial intelligence (AI) medical diagnostic application (AI DIAGNOS), resulting in a high correlation of both scores ( < 0.001).

Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a debilitating condition that often results from traumatic or iatrogenic causes, such as nasal surgery. There are various conservative and surgical treatments for ENS, but their effectiveness remains uncertain. Therefore, the development of animal models that accurately mimic human ENS is essential for advancing effective treatment strategies.

Article Synopsis
- PMT (Pasteurella multocida toxin) is a major virulence factor in type D infections, leading to significant economic losses in pig farming and severe organ damage in both pigs and mice.
- The study found that PMT is highly cytotoxic, particularly affecting the kidneys and lungs, with even low doses causing weight loss and higher doses resulting in acute death in both mice and pigs.
- Pathological analysis revealed severe organ damage, including hemorrhage in the lungs and liver, and desolation of the kidneys, highlighting PMT's extreme toxicity and its impact on vital organs.
