Background And Purpose: To develop a new test to assess the motor coordination of the upper limbs, and to investigate the test-retest and inter-rater reliability, construct validity, standard error of measurement (SEM), minimum detectable change (MDC), and the reference values.
Methods: The Upper Extremity Motor Coordination Test (UEMOCOT)was applied for 20 s, with the individual touching two targets (one right and one left) as quickly as possible, first with the hand (manual task) and then with the index finger (finger task). To test-retest reliability, the UEMOCOT was administered two times.

Background: Posterior nasal nerve (PNN) cryoablation improves chronic rhinitis (CR) symptoms in 70-80% of cases, including clear thin rhinorrhea (CTR). This study's purpose was to determine time to and degree of CTR recurrence following cryoablation.
Methods: A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients who underwent PNN cryoablation to treat CR-related CTR refractory to ipratropium bromide nasal spray (IBNS).
