To evaluate the efficacy of functional endoscopic sinus surgery(FESS) and radical endoscopic sinus surgery(RESS) in eosinophilic chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps(EosCRSwNP). A total of 44 patients diagnosed with EosCRSwNP in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Henan Provincial People's Hospital from July 1st, 2020 to August 1st, 2021 were included, the percentage of eosinophils in leukocytes in all patients included was more than 3.05%. The patients were randomly divided into FESS group and RESS group according to random number table. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Lund-Kennedy score and sino-nasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22) were compared between the two groups before operation, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after operation. At 1 year after operation, the scores of the two groups were significantly improved compared with those before operation, and the differences were statistically significant (<0.01). There were significant differences in nasal endoscopic score, VAS score and SNOT-22 score between the two groups(=0.01, =0.03, =0.03). The recurrence rate of RESS group was 26.09%(6/23) and that of FESS group was 61.90%(13/21), and the difference was statistically significant(=0.04). Both RESS and FESS can improve nasal symptoms and promote olfactory recovery in EosCRSwNP patients, but RESS has more advantages in reducing recurrence and improving the prognosis of patients.

Isolated maxillary fungal pathologies involve a variety of clinical entities. These include invasive and non-invasive variants, where each has a unique pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, and approach for management. The aim of this case series is to investigate the several ways that fungal infections of the maxillary sinus might present, with the approach to diagnose and manage these conditions.

Background: Cystic fibrosis is a heterogeneous disease whose severity and symptoms largely depend on the functional impact of mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene. Other genes may also modulate the clinical manifestations and complications associated with cystic fibrosis. Genetic variants of the bitter taste receptor TAS2R38 have been shown to contribute to the susceptibility and severity of chronic rhinosinusitis.

NUT carcinoma is a rare, aggressive malignancy characterized by chromosomal rearrangements involving the NUTM1 gene. We present the case of a 47-year-old male with a history of hypertension, diagnosed with NUT carcinoma originating in the ethmoid sinus and accompanied by extensive neck metastases. The patient underwent a left modified radical neck dissection and endoscopic nasal tumor excision, followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Introduction: The present study aimed to explore the epidemiologic threats and factors associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated mucormycosis (CAM) epidemic that emerged in Egypt during the second COVID-19 wave. The study also aimed to explore the diagnostic features and the role of surgical interventions of CAM on the outcome of the disease in a central referral hospital.
Methodology: The study included 64 CAM patients from a referral hospital for CAM and a similar number of matched controls from COVID-19 patients who did not develop CAM.
